ALANIS MORISSETTE - YOU LEARN
I Recommend Getting Your Heart Trampled On To Anyone
I Recommend Walking Around Naked In Your Living Room
Swallow It Doesn (What A Jagged Little Pill)
It Feels So Good (Swimming In Your Stomach)
Wait Until The Dust Settles
You Live You Learn
You Love You Learn
You Cry You Learn
You Lose You Learn
You Bleed You Learn
You Scream You Learn
I Recommend Biting Off More Than You Can Chew To Anyone
I Certainly Do
I Recommend Sticking Your Foot In Your Mouth At Any Time
Feel Free
Throw It Down (The Caution Blocks You From The Wind)
Hold It Up (Tp The Rays)
You Wait And See When The Smoke Clears
You Live You Learn
You Love You Learn
You Cry You Learn
You Lose You Learn
You Bleed You Learn
You Scream You Learn
Wear It Out (The Way A Three-Year-Old Would Do)
Melt It Down (You're Gonna Have To Eventually Anyway)
The Fire Trucks Are Up Around The Bend
You Live You Learn
You Love You Learn
You Cry You Learn
You Lose You Learn
You Bleed You Learn
You Scream You Learn
You Grieve You Learn
You Choke You Learn
You Laugh You Learn
You Chose You Learn
You Pray You Learn
You Ask You Learn
You Live You Learn
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Alanis Morissette, Glen Ballard
Producer(s): Glen Ballard
In This Song, Morissette Points Out That Everything In Life Is A Learning Experience. It's Based On The Saying "Live And Learn," Which Is A Common Way Of Dealing With Negative Events And Accepting Whatever Life Brings You.
Morissette Wrote This With Glen Ballard, Who Produced The Album. It Was One Of The First Songs They Wrote For Jagged Little Pill.
"She Had The Concept From The First Chord: 'Swallow It Down, Such A Jagged Little Pill,'" Ballard Told Spotify. "She Was In The Zone. It Came About Very Quickly."
Along With Tlc's "Waterfalls," The Video For "You Learn" Was Featured On The Pilot Episode Of Vh1'S Pop-Up Video. The Clip, Directed By Liz Friedlander, Follows The Singer Through A Random Series Of Adventures Throughout New York's Meat Packing District, From Kissing A Stranger To Getting In A Pie Fight To Facing Off Against Another Woman In A Boxing Ring (Played By The Casting Director).
At One Point, Alanis Rides A Horse Into A Gymnasium And Crashes A Basketball Game With One Clean Shot. Vh1'S Blurbs Tell Us The Horse Is Named Dolly And The Crew Had To Coax Her Into The Building With Carrots. Also, It Only Took Alanis One Take To Sink The Ball In The Hoop. We Also Learn Alanis Isn't Really Doing Backflips Throughout The City Streets; It's A 15-Year-Old Gymnast Wearing A Wig.
Benmont Tench, Who Was One Of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Played Organ On This Track. He Did It As A Favor For The Album's Producer, Glen Ballard, Who Had Him Come In, Listen To The Tracks And Play On Whichever Ones He Thought He Could Help.
Ballard Built The Track With A Linn 9000 Sequencer/Drum Machine.
The Cast Of Glee Sang This On The 2015 Episode "Jagged Little Tapestry." It Was Also Used On My Mad Fat Diary In The 2014 Episode "Girls" And On Single Parents In The 2018 Episode "Sleepover Ready."
This Was Featured In The 2013 Comedy-Drama As Cool As I Am, Starring James Marsden And Claire Danes.
Shortly After Moving To La, Morissette Was Robbed At Gunpoint And Started Suffering From Panic Attacks Over The Incident. Writing The Songs On The Album - Especially One About Dealing With Life's Low Points - Helped Her Work Through The Trauma.
Morissette Told Spotify The "Jagged Little Pill" Represents "Attempting To Take A Panacea, Something That Will Make Everything Ok But Is A Challenging One To Swallow." She Felt It Was The Perfect Symbol For The Record.
Morissette Kept All Six Jackets She Wore Throughout The Video.
