What it all comes down to is that singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette has both written and sung a new single for your listening enjoyment. āSmilingā will appear on her new album Such Pretty Forks in the Road, and it does that fun indie thing of having a name like āSmilingā and being in a very minor doomy-gloomy key. Ironic, donāt you think? If the song sounds familiar, itās because Morissette first wrote it for her jukebox musical Jagged Little Pill. In the show, the song is sung by the mother of the dysfunctional family at the musicalās core, as she āmoves through her day backwards.ā In the context of the show, itās about the characterās addiction to painkillers. In the context of a single, thereās a lot to decode in the accompanying YouTube artwork; ask your friend who does tarot-card reading to walk you through it. Such Pretty Forks in the Road comes out May 1.
