Here are the lyrics for Alanis’ song, “Guardian”. It’s on AM’s new record called “Havoc and Bright Lights” which is coming out in August.
From AM:
“so excited to share these with you. the greatest offering and aspiration within any relationship, for me, is the willingness to combine protection, commitment, vulnerability, tenacity, tenderness, constancy, empathy, mutuality, intentionality, innocence, presence, courage, freedom-offering and beautiful humanity at the same time. this song speaks to that commitment to both my sweet son, as well as my own inner child.”

It’s simply beautiful. I have read the lyrics again and again right now. Since english is not my mother tongue and only my second foreing language, I need a little bit time to get into it but I am totally in love with it, so simple and powerful as someone already’s said above. I love how you use the words and make art from them.
Alanis o que a inspirou na criação do seu álbum novo?
hi ali, my instinct told me it was about your inner child, (and mine too)
and inspired by your little one,
and u just described ultimate love very well,
i see how you narrate from you`re sources,
if only i can attain half your talent!
and yet again you`re inspiring and moving me
with an overwhelming joy .. Love you so
Beautiful, beautiful.
Can We buy your new cd on the European tour?
oh ali, almost in tears,
one contented heart reaches out to you with gratitude

I just heard the full version of Guardian. Thank you so much for being the wonderful artist that you are. I feel so lucky to be present during this new musical era. Truly a breath of fresh air.
Wonderfulllllllllllllllll song!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful !!!!!!!
Good Day Alanis,
Well…..the way that the lyrics are created, it’s not certain to whom you are singing to, which is interesting, and very much a signature style that you’ve artistically expressed since Jagged Little Pill (and very well I must add). From your comments, you posted about Ever and your inner child, but it seems like there might be others that you may apply the possibilities of singing to them also…..
“Guardian” is Excellent and Moving! You composed it skillfully, the music is Beautiful, the meter and flow move so fluently, and the lyrics have an important, expressive meaning! KUDOS TO YOU ALANIS!
Au Revoir………….
always little miss smarty pants
poet – poet, poet, poet !!!!!! I am in love with this song, again, the timing is unreal – how does this artist always jettison right to the issue in my heart and soul at any given time, wow … it reminds me of my dog, and I know you get that – dog, friend, child, inner child – love is love – lovely, sending lots of it, sia
