It has been four years, and this is the FIRST time we're featuring Alanis Morissette in Maple Leaf March. That's so odd to me.
True story - I actually had an Alanis song slated for the very first day of the very first Maple Leaf March, but moved it (without regret) for a lesser known artist. I did end up posting that song in another month.
The lead single from her 2020 album Such Pretty Forks In The Road, the song was actually released in late 2019. Co-written by Morissette and Michael Farrell. It is at once a beautiful and obviously personal song about her life in the music industry - and let's be clear - she has really been working since she was single digits - so, 40 years.

| She was double digits when she got slimed, though. |
It's also a really relatable song - who hasn't done something, like drinking or eating, emotionally?
The video is simple, a support group in which Alanis is several of the participants.
This is one of Alanis's most performed songs... and still performed, four years later. Here she is, performing the song a few weeks ago, as a duet with Kelly Clarkson.
The song shines most when it's just Alanis, though - like this, one of the very first public performances of the song from a 2019 performance at a Connecticut casino.
