I can remember growing up in the 90s listening to mainstream pop/country/r&b/soul/rap music. I remember when there were TV shows that dedicated their hour and a half to those artists with brilliant chart topping songs and phenomenal creative music videos. I remember the channel stations that just played music videos all day and the one you wanted to see you'd have to call in and give the video number code provided on the screen below the music video that was playing. I remember this one artist who was different from the rest. Her voice was so unique and corky that sounded full of southern soul. This young lady's name was Alanis Morissette, the song "Hand In My Pocket".
I was so young just listening to her sing, not knowing what she was saying in her lyrics, but I can tell the song was an uplifting song. The song was so not for me, but I continued to listen and jam every time the video came on. Then I started to catch on to the chorus and really comprehending the lyrics. The song had a powerful message. I understand it till this day completely without a doubt. I feel like it's a song for everyone to listen to and in those first 30 seconds you will fee uplifted. Alanis Morissette is an amazing singer and songwriter. She was just incredible. This is why i'm making today's Throwback Friday, Alanis Morissette's "Hand In My Pocket" and I will include the lyrics too.
