Alanis Morissette's Emotional Ballad "Not As We"

Canadian singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette premiered the video on Yahoo! Music, to her new remixed single "Not As We Are," the second single from her seventh studio album "Flavors of Entanglement," an album like any of her previous ones that channels her emotional states. "As soon as I start to write there's this uncensored, unedited freedom to step outside out of the shackles of the thoughts in my head around being ashamed," the Canadian singer has won 12 Juno Awards and seven Grammy Awards, said. "If I could offer anything to anyone listening to my songs it would be just a four minute moment of dropping any shame of anyone being human."
The ballad "Not as We," is a song about learning how to relive your life without someone else in it. Someone who was a big part of your life and now you don't know how you're going to get by without them, so you have to "psuedo-making it" and basically just taking it one day at a time. Morissette explores the often cyclical nature of learning in track in this pensive, rock bottom-capturing "Not As We." The Canadian singer takes steps towards a new life as herself in the new music video, directed by James Whitaker and produced through RSA's promo division Black Dog Films, was shot in Los Angeles on September of 2008. Simple in its concept, the video features Morissette in various stages on the path to emotional recovery.
A dozen years after the breakthrough debut of the rock-influenced "Jagged Little Pill," an album which earned four Grammys and spawned a dedicated worldwide fan base, Morissette remains not only an enduringly popular artist, but one whose success stems from a fierce commitment to authenticity and, to an equal extent, vulnerability. Both of these traits enable her to climb to new ground with her latest album, "Flavors of Entanglement." The Album Version is a piano driven ballad while the shorter Radio Edit adds guitars, bass and background effects and starts with the first line of the song while the Album Version has an instrumental opening. The music video uses the Radio Edit. The studio version first appeared on Fox's TV series "House" and later made a return to primetime on MTV's "The Hills."
