 Alanis Morissette1974 年 6 月 1 日生于加拿大安大略省渥太华市，是 90 年代中期最为出名的另类歌手之一。Morissette 曾经是一名童星，后来成为流行舞曲乐届的宠儿， 最终成为另类乐坛的一位歌手，且会自己创作词曲，同 Liz Phair及 Tori Amos 并驾齐驱。
Morissette是土生土长的渥太华人， 她童年时代即开始学习弹钢琴及词曲创作，10岁她参加了儿童电视节目的拍摄。 她用拍片赚来的钱录制了第 1 首单曲《Fate Stay with Me》，在她 10岁那年推出。14 岁时，她同加拿大 MCA 唱片公司签了合约。1991 年，她赴多伦多谋求发展，并推出首张专辑《Alanis》。
《Alanis》 是一张充斥当时在加拿大盛行的流行舞曲元素的专辑，销量有 10 万张，并为 Morissette赢得了加拿大朱诺奖中的“最受欢迎的歌手奖”。不过，她的成功此时还仅仅局限于国内。1992 年，Morissette 又推出专辑《Now Is the Time》， 风格同前一张专辑相差不多。这张专辑销量只有前一张专辑的一半， 而且也只在国内获得了成功。随后，Morissette 迁往洛杉矶， 并在 1994 年邂逅 Glen Ballard。 Ballard 曾为 Michael Jackson 创作名曲 “Man In the Mirror”，并为 Wilson Phillips 成功地制作了首张专辑，也曾与 David Hasselhoff 有过合作。在 Ballard 的启发下，Morissette决定放弃她以往“流行公主”的形象，改走另类摇滚的路线。 结果她在 Madonna的公司 Maverick 旗下推出了《Jagged Little Pill》。
1995 年夏季，由于单曲“You Oughta Know”的强劲冲击，《Jagged Little Pill》引起了万众的瞩目。 很快，这首单曲在 MTV电视台和另类电台中被频频播放， 专辑打进了排行榜前 10 名，并获得了多白金的销量。
在1998和1999两年Alanis又分别推出了她的第4和第5张专辑， 并且也都取得成功。最近倒是没有什么新作。
Surrendering 
you were full and fully capable
you were self sufficient and needless
your house was fully decorated in that sense
you were taken with me to a point a case of careful what you wish for but what you knew was enough to begin
and so you called and courted fiercely so you reached out,entirely fearless
and yet you knew of reservation and how it serves
Chorus:
and I salute you for your courage and I applaud your perseverance
and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces
that I represent
so you were in but not entirely
you were up for this but not totally
you knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt
and so you fell and you're intact
so you dove in and you're still breathing
so you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked
you found creative ways to distance
you hid away from much through humor
your choice of armor was your intellect
and so you felt and you're still here
and so you died and you're still standing
and so you softened and you're still safely in command
self protection was in times of true danger
your best defense to mistrust and be wary
surrendering a feat of unequalled measure
and I'm thrilled to let you in
overjoyed to be let in in kind
