Flavors of Entanglement


Some off-topic this time. My addiction lately. The latest album of Alanis Morissette -- Flavors of Entanglement. Well, this album is supposed to be released on 2nd June worldwide and on 10th in US. But what can i say, it got leaked over internet! And here i am listening to it on n on. When it's out, i'm sure gonna buy the CD too.

I've always liked Alanis Morissette songs, but i believe this is her best album ever. Her previous albums were more focused on lyrics accompanied by usually melancholic piano music. But this is different. Lyrics are strong as always, this time even the music is soo well arranged (Guy Sigsworth ??). Lyrics also have subtle changes. Songs like 'Citizen of the Planet' and 'Underneath' have more global feeling than her signature self-oriented songs. The point is, i'm hooked..

My favorite song in the album: 'In Praise of the Vulnerable Man'. At first i didnt get the lyrics, but later it occurred to me - this song is about her ex! Under similar situation, songs on previous albums would have been more of whine and curse. But this time she seems soo calm.

This is in praise of the vulnerable man
Why won’t you lead the rest of your cavalry home
This is a thank you for letting me in
Indeed in praise of the vulnerable man

  2. the lyrics, though can be found everywhere; it is so very apropriate here.

    "
    You are the bravest man I’ve ever met
    You unreluctant at treacherous ledge

    oh,You are the sexiest man I’ve ever been with
    oh,You, never hotter than with armor spent

    When you do what you do to provide
    How you land in the soft as you fortify

    This is in praise of the vulnerable man
    Why won’t you lead the rest of your cavalry home

    You, with your eyes mix strength with abandon
    You with your new kind of heroism

    And I bow and I bow down to you
    To the grace that it takes to melt on through

    This is in praise of the vulnerable man
    Why won’t you lead the rest of your cavalry home
    This is a thank you for letting me in
    Indeed in praise of the vulnerable man

    You are the greatest man I’ve ever met
    You the stealth setter of new precedents

    And I vow and I vow to be true
    And I vow and I vow not to take advantage

    This is in praise of the vulnerable man
    Why won’t you lead the rest of your cavalry home
    This is a thank you for letting me in
    Indeed in praise of the vulnerable man

  3. why did u post this blog...
    now i'm entangled in her flavour...

    lately i've been tasting "madness(bonus track)"

    Now I see the madness in me
    Is brought out in the presence of you
    Now I know the madness lives on
    When you're not in the room
    Though I'd love to blame you for all
    I'd miss these moments of opportune
    You simply brought this madness to light
    And I should thank you
