Alanis Morissette- Forgiven

I sang Alleluia in the choir
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My brothers they never went blind for what they did
But I may as well have

To My Feminist Friends Who Went To Catholic School:

On a scale from “Sister Christian” to “the inverse of Sister Christian” (1-Tori Amos.Molly Shannon, maybe), how important was this song to you?

not that i want to turn this into the alanis tumblr or whatever, but i had to respond.  it was pretty much everything? i would listen to this song on repeat and just fucking SING MY HEART OUT when she goes “what i learn i rejected but i believe again i will suffer the consequence in this inquisition if i jump in this fountain will i be forgiven” and she sang like probably a bit above what my vocal chords are naturally adept at but i still tried to do it just like her every.single.time. this was my favorite song on jagged little pill, for sure.

ps. i went to an all-girls catholic school.
