So I love Alanis Morissette. My friend Kate and I would sit in her room listening and singing to "Jagged Little Pill" for hours and hours when we were in high school (before we could drive of course). We liked other music too, but that seemed to be a favorite for a long time.
While everyone else is freaking out about the new Cold Play CD (which is awesome), I am enjoying the fantastic new Alanis CD.
The lyrics of one song in particular resonate with me, especially at this time in my life. It's called Incomplete. The melody is so amazing.
Check it out...
"Incomplete"
One day I'll find relief
I'll be arrived
And I'll be friend to my friends who know how to be friends
One day I'll be at peace
I'll be enlightened and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt
One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete
One day my mind will retreat
And I'll know God
And I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day I'll be secureLike the women I see on their thirtieth anniversaries
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete
Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous
And torturous
And never done
One day I will speak freely
I'll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith-filledI'll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and home
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete
