Alanis Morissette - Hand in my pocket (Cover) video free download

Me singing "hand in my pocket" by alanis morissette.

Another old recording of mine..sorry the music is so loud and her voice is faintly audible in the background i think..loved singing it in her style though :D

definitely one of my favorite alanis songs..

This track was from her album "jagged little pill" which was a pretty aggressive set of songs...but this one was relatively milder..more sarcastic than optimistic in my opinion.

the song could be anything, depends on your mood when you're listening to it...it could be about there being a bright side to every situation, or about everything being "fine" but only because that's what people want you to say, it's not what you really believe.

It's about one hand being in your pocket, your control, being personal, private, relaxed, disconnected..and the other lives life, puts up pretences for society, does everything to create a balance in one's own world..

this song could be what others tell you, or what you tell yourself..

but in the end no one's better than the other..coz no one has anything figured out...we just say that everything's gonna be ok..and go along our respective ways :)

that's my highly confusing interpretation..

i'm going to add the lyrics here anyway...worth taking some meaning out of it for yourself..

enjoy!

Lyrics:

I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm poor but I'm kind

I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah

I'm high but I'm grounded,

I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed

I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine

'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid

I'm tired but I'm working, yeah

I care but I'm restless, I'm here but I'm really gone

I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything is going to be quite alright

'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is flicking a cigarette

What it all comes down to

Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet

'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a peace sign

I'm free but I'm focused,

I'm green but I'm wise

I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby

I'm sad but I'm laughing,

I'm brave but I'm chicken shit,

I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby

And what it all boils down to

Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is playing the piano

And what it all comes down to, my friends, yeah

Is that everything is just fine fine fine

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is hailing a taxi cab...
