Alanis Morissette – Reasons I Drink (Official Video)
The song will repeat
these are the reasons I drink
the reasons I tell everybody I’m fine even though I am not
these are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember since I was single digits
And now even though I’ve been busted
I don’t where to draw the line ‘cause the groove has gotten so deep
And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do
Here we are
i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh
one more hit
it feels so helpful in my need for respite
ohhhh
Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I’m not medicated
So that’s it I am buying a lamborghini
to make up for these habits to survive this sick industry
And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do
Here we are
i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh
one more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite
Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
these are the reasons I don’t even think I would quit
These are the reasons I can’t even see straight
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
and I am left wondering how I would I function without it
Here we are
i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh
one more rip
I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
Alcoholic here, not sober and don’t have any plans to become sober in the near future. But I love this song because of how it actually speaks to our experiences. Alcohol is how I’ve survived a pretty tough life. Our world sucks. So….I just appreciate where this is coming from. And I salute the people who are able to handle this world sober. I can’t.
She’s in my mind. She says things so honestly. Everything.
This song is severely underrated.
7 months and 22 days clean and sober and it was this song when it was released that started my journey of open-mindedness, I’ve been to rehab, I’ve got a sponsor, I work a program now, I’m so grateful for your music alanis thankyou
“Morissette also struggled with eating disorders as a young adult, something she has compared to the struggle of someone addicted to alcohol or drugs. “The big question for me around eating-disorder recovery is, ‘What is sobriety with food?'” Morissette told Women’s Health. “We know with alcohol, you just don’t drink it and don’t go to a bar. With heroin, you just don’t go near it. Whereas with food, you have to eat, so how can one go from, in my case, bingeing and purging, starving, overeating, the scale going up and down — how can I go from that to a ‘sober’ approach?”
Yes, we need more “older” singers and celebrities, life doesn’t end when you turn 30. I want to see people, regular people tell their stories
I was 14 when Jagged Little Pill came out, coming to 40 and i’m still here. Thank you!
