IRONIC
“…Life has a funny way
of sneaking up on
you,
when you think everything’s okay
& everything’s going right.
And life
has a funny way
of helping you out,
when you think
everything’s gone wrong
&
everything
blows up in your face...”
One of the hit singles lifted off Alanis Morissette's 1995 'Jagged Little Pill' album was "Ironic". It charted the following year and reached #1 in her native Canada as well as reaching the Top 5 in Australia and America.
The song was written by Morissette with Glen Ballard. "Ironic" deals with the twists that life throws us all. The verses run through a number of scenarios which could be described as ironic. These include a passenger with a fear of flying finally plucking up the courage to travel and his flight crashes.
"Ironic" balances clever situations with a sense of humour to explain the way the unexpected affects our lives. At times when one thinks all is going well, this is disrupted. Conversely, at your lowest moments, something positive is thrown your way.
As new songs are covered on this blog, a definitive version will be
