“this video is a tip of the hat to Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire (it is the 25th anniversary of the film having been released). the full circle poetry of my having written ‘uninivited’ for its remake, combined with my love of the original movie, combined with my love of Germany, having lived there for three years as a child (by the Black Forest) combined most importantly with how this video is such a visual extension of the song ‘guardian’, which is so close to my heart….it was so much fun to make it in Berlin! i think it really shows how the parent/guardian angel role are linked….how, ultimately, a powerful inner parent calls upon spirit to guide her/his choices on the loved ones’ behalf…whether it is for a child, a friend, or an inner child…this love and this grace is available to everyone.” –am

Beautiful. My favorite of your music videos, and I like it more and more with each watch. Happy ending!!!! Love you, Alanis. Can’t wait to buy the new album!
Such a beautiful clip, how simplicity is rare nowadays. You’re bringing it back with all the messages of this song. Congrats Alanis, you’re in my heart.
Wonderful clipe My dear angel!
Good Day Alanis,
Excellent Video! It’s thought provoking. A Light Shined On You And The Characters Towards The Conclusion! (Havoc and {Bright Lights})………..
Enjoy Your Tour!
Au Revoir…………
A beautiful video! We all have and are angels:). Sometimes to ourselves too as our inner child needs guarding… A wonderful and touching idea in the song.
you with wings at first felt odd…i watched the video through, then ate some and went to veggie garden to weed and found the first acorn squash babies coming…
it must have been (unlike right now, in this writing)a deep time of a certain particular kind of listening…
touching the ground, feeling the damp earth, in a while i saw one grasshopper i’d disturbed…hop to my left
then i had thought it was a tiny curled leaf; i touched it and it jumped away
all this to say…when i came in and the wife had gone to her church, i watched again
then i saw two of you.
the woman with honest eyes; she who i have loved (with wings)
and some other….vampy goth-masked rocker,
who i do not know.
in the first, there is no “havoc” or “bright light”. only you, truth
read your text again and thought “OK.
Alanis talking…”
a necessary cover-up….a decoration which
is a shield and shell and ?…useful…?
the joy of the game of hide and seek
BRAVO!! they (jumping about and cheering)tell me now. “she is attracting attention to us!”
Conversations!Opening
panoply parade of holy angels….so many kinds!
down to the one Guardian we’re assigned,
before this life and is with us 24/7, through our physical death and a bit beyond.
alanis, lorna byrne’s story “Angels in my Hair”
you know it?
My choc. pup, Pele, tells me he wants to go to his (and my) “Dog Church”…the dog park near the marina.
wife hates it when i then say…(parenthetically)…
to do the “pass-the-peace butt-sniff”
chow, i’m off!

Love U Alanis!
Inspiring!!!
Beautiful video. Is Alanis touring into Ontario, Canada? I can’t find a full list of tour dates.
Alanis’ look in this video seems like a ‘happy version’ of JLP… kinda dark, but kinda happy, you know… hahah
JUST GREAT !! \o/
*BEAUTIFUL* <3
Absolutely awesome music video!
as usual for alanis, this video tells us a story and makes us think about life. GREAT! and it shows the streets of Berlin, cool!!!
The video is wonderful, the message strong and the photograph perfect!, I love the Wings of Desire, I wrote a short tale about this movie. I couldn’t think in a movie more emotional than that, the message is really positive.
Dude, yes. A video. And a good one. excellent. I already pre-ordered the CD. I rule. Please make more videos of your new songs. I need me some more alanis
Hey Lani,
I like the song. Not all the lyrics, but I am a bit tossed oÃr on shining with messages of ‘your’ ‘universal’s guardian and angel, and Not seemingly above your old school I did seriously seek intimacy within.
You are do much praise for teaching and reaching to receive from the on high donators of God’s will for you, but you and Mar do have what are regarded as evil doninace fantasies that incline me to beseack seccession from you and any marketing endorsements I may have been temp slavery underas one you are Not introducing and who is in severe crises related to
what and who havManuele ever been my own from my source.
Peace and Light,

Olá “Alanis”…pouco menos de um mês para meu encontro contigo (algo que aguardo a 14 anos) e já estou contando os dias. Será no show de Curitiba-Brasil (moro no estado próximo, Rio Grande do Sul). Hoje, o dia está incrÃvel por aqui (11/08/2012), o sol está vibrando ótimas energias, e minha namorada val e eu estamos a caminho de um Templo Budista próximo, onde passaremos o final de semana. (No domingo (12) será celebração do Dia dos Pais por aqui,será o primeiro sem meu pai. Seu espirito partiu há 10 meses). Este comentário surge porque encontrei em muitas das tuas músicas, uma espécie de consolo. Além de discos de Eddie Vedder, em especial Ukelele Songs…Como músicos, vocês são meus guias terrenos. Hoje, quero então agradecer por isto. Estarei no templo desejando boas energias e enviando ao universo. Abraço apertado, fica na paz…Cléo
