So many people missed the true meaning of this powerful song. It really did just fall thru the cracks in the music world. A true heartfelt classic by a true artist. Thank you

Unabashedly bawling my eyes out in my car to this song, wanting so bad to bring back the remembrance of my divinity. To be able to bare myself to the world without shame and to be accepted for all that I am and loved without prejudice. I am an eternal being of divinity worthy of love for self and worthy to give love to others.

How could I know every lyric to this song and sing along for twenty years, and suddenly on a super heavy day when my heart is profoundly broken, this song comes on out of nowhere and for the very first time I realize what is actually being said?

This song is sacred. Thank you synchronicity.

This song goes WAY deeper than most people realize. Alanis is a poetic lyrical genius!

Alanis Morissette spent over a year touring and promoting her 1995 album “Jagged Little Pill, ” which burned her out both physically and emotionally. For the next year and a half, she took time off to decompress and re-evaluate. “Thank U” (1998) is her reaction to the conflicted feelings she had after achieving success.

She explained : “I felt that I lived in a culture that told me that I had to consistently and constantly look outside myself to feel this elusive bliss. And I achieved a lot of what society had told me to achieve and I still didn’t feel peaceful. I started questioning everything, and I realized that actually everything was AN ILLUSION and it was scary for me because everything I had believed in was dissolving in front of me and there was a death of sorts, a really beautiful one ultimately, but at first a very scary one, and so I stopped. I stopped for the first time and I was overcome with a huge sense of COMPASSION for myself first, and then naturally that translated into my feeling and compassion for everyone around me and a huge amount of GRATITUDE that I had never felt before to this extent. And that’s why I had to write this song, ‘Thank U, ’ because I had to express how exciting this was and how scary it was and all these opportunities for us to define who we are.”

Disillusionment, frailty and silence are among the things and feelings Morissette thanks in this song, but at the top of her list is INDIA, where she spent time in 1997. Her trip was enlightening and gave her some of the ideas for “Thank U.”

THANK U FOR YOUR WISDOM, ALANIS‼️ 💙🇮🇳🩷

Thank you for sharing the lyrics. After praying one night for clarity and guidance, I woke up with this song in my head. I hadn't listened to it in years. Listening to it now, I understand and appreciate it in an entirely new way.

[ShoeGazer]

I bet this beautifully sung poetry helped and still helps everyone who doesn’t see the light anymore. Thank you.

I'm a South African black male residing in rurals. When I play Pop Music people doesn't understand how divine this genre is.

La canzone madre che mi ha introdotto nel mondo di Alanis Morissette, una canzone con una forza di attrazione incredibile. Grazie Alanis, per sempre. God bless you

'Lyrically, the song documents the singer's spiritual awakenings, resultant from her trip to India, as well as other physical and internal journeys. In "Thank U", Alanis expresses the heartfelt gratitude, inspiration and compassion, which she felt at the time she wrote it'

I heard her sing this live at Woodstock 1999. What an experience. I had gone to this event and this song really got to me. I was only 2 years away from an awful life experience I had that I thought I would never get over. This weekend I met so many great people and this song for whatever reason I knew things were going to be ok which they ended up being and I was able to start to heal.

THANK YOU Alanis for making this song!!!! When i first came to Canada from Fiji, She was the first CANADIAN artist i discovered, her songs got me through some tough times back in grade 9 coming into a new country. Her songs fills my spiritual cup. The meaning of her songs are so deep and powerful! May everyone this receive many blessing.

Yes, finally someone with the correct lyrics. Thank you for uploading this. One of her most impactful songs of hers for me personally, since as she was going through this journey I was doing so in my own life too. So yes, as you say in the end of the video, "Thank you, Alanis." <3
