Alanis Morissette - Unsent Lyrics

i love this song so much :)

When I was younger I only had the Jonathan and Marcus types, but Lou turned out to be the boring keeper and father of my children. Who is ironically named Jonathan.

There is only one thing wrong with this song. My name isn't in it.

What a brilliant song ❤💔

Whats wrong with me

Terrence - the emotional tampon. Poor bastard.

I came here, because I believe in god[s and goddesses]
...and Nadine, is BAE.

this is one of my Alanis favourites songs.

awesome

Whenever I think of the early nineties I think of you!

Reminds of Touring out West... it just does

fckn great song

Thank you Canada

My brother's played a huge prank on me when I was younger made me believe that this was our forgotten aunt , my name is Marcus and my brothers are Matthew and Jonathan , and our neighbor is Louie I'll never forgive them lol

2:48 I dont get it?

Way too many rings. He's a very creepy dude. I'm sure what he is suggesting is equally creepy

SHMORISETTE !!!!!!!!

Ugh 💜 i just love this woman.
Terrance was the nicest guy lol 💜

This is what we call mature song writing and a wonderful video to match.

The way Terrence looks at her at the end of his clip ... Beautiful acting, you can see so much in his eyes. Love, nostalgia, regret, hope, resignation, I can see it all there :)

One of her best songs

"So can i get a ride with you? 'Sure, you just gotta remind me , Okay? What a piece of crap.

This song always amazed me, like for 20 years straight, but it's only now that I noticed that its lyrics are unrhymed poetry.

I've never liked her music (her voice makes lesions form on the surface of my brain) but I certainly admire successful people, and she's been a star since 1995, which means she's been able to hold the world's interest for quite a long time.

spirituality?? Sure lol. OCCULTISM...soft satanism as usual...playing the devil's game.

I am listening to alanis morissette for more than a decade now. Her music is unique.

This song is so powerful.

J❤️M

"What was wrong with me?"
Is what I ask myself often when I look back at all the wonderful people I could have been in a relationship with but I fucked it up :D

Filip Zawistowski It wasn’t you, it just wasn’t the right time.

UNSENT LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Dear Matthew, I like you a lot
I realize you're in a relationship with someone right now
And I respect that
I would like you to know that if you're ever single in the future
And you want to come visit me in California
I would be open to spending time with you
And finding out how old you were
When you wrote your first song

[Verse 2]
Dear Jonathan, I liked you too much
I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me
And think solely about themselves
And you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time
I used to say the more tragic the better
The truth is whenever I think of the early 90's
Your face comes up with a vengeance
Like it was yesterday

[Verse 3]
Dear Terrance, I love you muchly
You've been nothing but open hearted and
Emotionally available and supportive
And nurturing and consummately there for me
I kept drawing you in
And pushing you away
I remember how beautiful it was to
Fall asleep on your couch and cry in front of you for the first time
You were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself
What was wrong with me?


[Verse 4]
Dear Marcus, you rocked my world
You had a charismatic way about you with the women
And you got me seriously thinking about spirituality
And you wouldn't let me get away with kicking my own ass
But I could never really feel relaxed and looked out for around you though
And that stopped us from going any further than we did
And it's kind of too bad because we could've had much more fun

[Verse 5]
Dear Lou, we learned so much
I realize we won't be able to talk for some time
And I understand that as I do you
The long distance thing was the hardest and we did as well as we could
We were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives
I will always have your back and be curious about you
About your career, your whereabouts

The song is so humane of the just way of it

dear jennifer its jenniferier in feb

its 19993

this is karen

I remember first hearing this and thinking how... Incomplete I thought it was. And then I listened to it again. What a fool I was! Even if every verse didn't totally personally resonate with me (even though they totally somehow do!), this song, FOR ME, is sheer perfection.

The wig she's wereing when it gos 2nd guy lool

taking thank you, next to a different dimension and burying it. these lyrics are incredible.

Today this makes sense

I like how these weren’t just boyfriends but friends she was intensely close with.

the original "thank u, next"

The original (and better) thank u, next :)

pure genius lyrics and video

"So, I'll see you. I'll find you." Life before facebook. This meant a lot.

This might be my favorite Alanis Morissette song.

Incredible. This is now one of my favorite songs

i love this video

Karen is the last grifriend she speaks of. You lknow who I mean skatlke

Always liked her music. She's vastly more talented than MOST other female musicians.!! So much more depth.

"Unsent"

dear matthew I like you a lot I realize you're in a relationship
with someone right now and I respect
that I would like you to know that if you're ever single
in the future and you want to come visit me in california

OMG where did this come from ?

LA HISTORIA DE MI VIDA EN UNA CANCIÓN

Whoa, she was kinda a slut it seems. Not surprised none of these relationships worked out for her. She comes off in these Unsent letters as a whiny drama queen.

This is the original Thank U, Next l. Ariana Grande is choking

Бесконечно любимая песня.

The second part of this song, the dear John part. Back in 93 I was with a girl that almost mirrors that. The last verse about Lou, is another mirror of a girl I dated in Dallas while I lived 300 mi away. I visited her every weekend for 5 yrs until she broke it off. This song so relates to me on two parts.

omg is the guy who plays "lou" the guy who was berger in sex and the city???

The fuckboys and douchbags song

in this video beautiful alanis made herself look like a horse: no wonder all those guys had second thoughts..

beautiful

Always thought she was beautiful. Never did understand all the shit said about awkward whatever

A song about a woman hitting the wall and looking for a beta male to provide for her after years of riding the CC.

This is a real good song about exes. Not like Thank U, next.

That's why I came here... Ppl think Ariana did something....
Hell nah

Grayson 😂

this song is so much for me.....Thank You Alanis.......

the minute man 2:21 looks like corey hamn R.i.p!

1:42 Dime Eyes! "He looks like that nerdy lesbian from Scooby Doo"😝

I wish I could be a memory of Alanis. Dear Jeffrey, we had so much fun, and learned together

This song..

the armonic in the end is great

My favorite Alanis song ever! It is so pure & beautiful! I think I have listened to it over 100 times!!!!

beautiful 🌞

Is this about her riding the cock carousel?

Listening in 2018, I love this song even more. 20 years later.
41 years old, this song just keeps making more sense. Amazing

this song hits deeper as time goes on, her music is painfully profound.

Y'all do realize that there is absolutely no chorus or bridge in this song, right? It's 100% verse. Only Alanis could get away with that shit.smh

Terence should have put on his big boy pants!😥

What a great album. I can feel Beatles influences in this one.

My fav AM song

Brilliant

Focus on the awakened feeling... not the "type" of feeling.... don't think in terms of what you feel.. how you feel... just thank god... you feel 🦄

A woman speaking openly to her various ex lovers about what she learned and felt. She admits feeling everything from love to anger. She is the focus and the men are supportive her story - for a change. It is so bad ass and beautiful.

This number is never boring.....LOVE IT!

I am single and will visit you in California...my lovE!!!

Greg Kamieniecki my history was tragic in a lot of ways....it has not included you....wait until June 29th in Malibu..love always xoxoxox

Greg Kamieniecki I will be in Malibu with you on Friday June 29th!

Greg Kamieniecki We are now exactly eye to eye, at the same place. I will visit you in Malibu!

Greg Kamieniecki We were always near during a tumultuous time in our lives!

Greg Kamieniecki I now realize I have to come to Malibu!

Cock carousel ode

my all time favorite song , but its like torture of the most brutal to as it reminds me of the great love of my life

but it also reminds me of the time we spent together during the best year of our lives

svitlana your the greatest love of my life I miss you so much

Querido Matthew, me gustas mucho. Me doy cuenta de que estás en una relación con alguien ahora mismo y lo respeto. Me gustaría que supieras que si alguna vez vuelves a estar soltero en el futuro y quieres venir a visitarme a California estaría dispuesta a pasar tiempo contigo y averiguar cuántos años tenías cuando escribiste tu primera canción.

Querido Jonathan, me gustaste demasiado. Solía sentirme atraída por chicos que me engañaban y pensaban únicamente en ellos. Tú eras demasiado auto destructivo para mi gusto por aquel entonces.
Solía decir que cuanto más trágica, más sincera es la verdad. Cada vez que pienso en el principio de los noventa tu cara aparece con una venganza como si fuera ayer.

Querido Terrance, te quiero mucho. No has sido más que un gran corazón y emocionalmente disponible y un apoyo, enriquecedor y siempre ahí para mí. Me mantuve atrayéndote y haciéndote a un lado. Recuerdo lo bonito que fue quedarse a dormir en tu sofá y llorar delante tuya por primera vez. Fuiste la mejor plataforma para saltar más allá de mí misma. Qué era lo que me pasaba?

Querido Marcus, tú estremeciste mi mundo. Tenías una forma carismática con las mujeres y me hiciste pensar en serio sobre la espiritualidad y no dejabas que me librase de darme patadas en mi propio trasero. Pero nunca podía sentirme tranquila y buscaba si estabas a mi alrededor. Y eso nos frenó de ir más allá de lo que fuimos. Y es una putada porque nos lo podríamos haber pasado muy bien.

Querido Lou, aprendimos mucho. Me doy cuenta de que no podremos hablar durante un tiempo y lo entiendo como te entiendo a ti. Lo de estar separados fue lo más duro y lo hicimos lo mejor que pudimos. Estuvimos juntos durante una etapa muy tumultuosa de nuestras vidas. Siempre tendrás mi apoyo y querré saber de ti, de tu carrera, de tu paradero.

thank you

She should do a part 2 to this. lol

Great song

Yikes, she's had so many boyfriends in such a short space of time.. Serial dater.

Awesome

This unique song is so relatable to those of us who are always searching, and find genuine love, concern, and disdain for those we had to leave.
