    Hello Alanis , thank you for being such an not indulging person on your own behalf , and may you be greatened in smalness. I do not think you will get this message and its incredibelly stupid of me to think so but I think we are connected. My soul bares the vibration of 33 ( date of birth ( 23-09-1972), my name bares the vibration of 33. I look up to your music and perticurlary your lyrics , especially 21 things I want in a lover , and the song eight easy steps. I am not a hidden maniac or a bigtime fan that wants to stalk all the time , I cannot proove this but I do know that you have a great soul and I hope you one day can reach all the women on the planet who are suffering from backward-/drawn positions ,not only in America but maybe even more in Africa and the Middle east, where you can show through words and dignity ( if you like offcourse ) how women really should be raised and treated . Also you well doing on behalf of mistreated women in America and Canada ( I presume ) really knocks me down in a way , positive offcourse . You treat the people, women with a sublime standard of understanding and partioned happiness in the treating of them of those who suffer invisibly the most by stock up stories , memories and happenings that should get a place in their lives but seem to be lost in namecalling and badges from society and healthinsurancies whom dont want to give them their true name and face back because they cannot understand the problem these people/women are facing in these days wich are full of understandig the misunderstood in a scientific and psychic way , and the way of the Heart ( I AM ) left behind by numerous and “skilled” professionals in psychiatry and health care divisions and propertie owners of “the mind” by letting them be enslaved by drug recipients from the drugstore , to tell them to shush and be quiet . So they become enslaved by their own indulgence , feeded by misunderstanding the problem by getting it solved by giving them medicine and “good conversations” with a psychiatrist or whatever . You have a powerful Heart and I wish you all the best with letting it glow and shine for the right people as you do if I may say so . And congratulations with your marriage by the way ( who am I ? ) and the child of you both together . Thank you for listening , Erwin . ( hope you dont think I am a crazy person .) that’s it .

  13. Erwin.Tukker says:

    Your music and lyrics lifted me up when I was in times of need , even do I am a man , later I discovered that maybe your lyrics in “21 things I want in a lover” is about the heavens and the “forgotten heavens” , ( I know you wont correct me if I am wrong ) , and “eight easy steps” referring big time to the path of the buddha . I myself read a lot in the gospel of Thomas , and after reading it I got to these “discoveries” , wich are offcourse very “selfindulging” , very egotistic and very presumptious. Forgive me if I am wrong , the chances are 1 in a 1.000.000 that I am right about this , but since you are in peace like a buddha it could be a something that refers to it . Thats it , now I will go to be my own “crazy” self again , strugglin’ with who is more right , God almighty or the Higher Selves all over the world . This seemingly innuendo is my personal crisis at the moment . I am so sorry to have taken your time with this . Good luck and God speed you and your families way . God bless ..

    alanis yo tambien deseo lo mejor para tu vida en estas fechas tan especiales,Dios te bendiga.

  20. Gratitude :) that’s the point. And how difficult is to feel it while you’re into those life-proofs. Here in Mexico we don’t have Thanksgiving Day, but I think we should, ’cause these days we are forgetting to Thank for Life :( and much more things. Too many violence.. as unnecessary as violence is. I try to understand the reasons.. but still think that there are another ways to fix our country and our world.
    But I don’t lose Faith, and Thank You, ’cause with your songs and lie, you give me more reasons to still believe in Us.
