: Alanis Embraces "Chaos" Alanis 拥抱”混乱” : Morissette gets experimental on upcoming album Alanis 要作一张实验性专辑 : Alanis Morissette will release So-Called Chaos in late February. She is : currently putting the finishing touches on the album, the follow-up to last : year's Under Rug Swept, with longtime collaborator Tim Thorney and John : Shanks (Michelle Branch) in a Santa Monica recording studio owned by : Jackson Browne. Alanis 二月底要发一张叫做”混乱”的专辑，目前正在收尾 : "I started writing on and off this summer very reticently," she says. "I : wrote a couple of songs, ventured away from the studio, then ventured back : in. By the fall I realized I had enough songs that could make a record." : One of the first tracks written for the album was "Knees of My Bees," a : song Morissette calls a tribute to her boyfriend of more than a year. "I : always have to honor him in some way," she says. 我这个夏天开始断断续续的写歌，在录音室外冒险然後也在录音室内实验， 到秋天的时候我了解到我已经有够多的歌可以作专辑了，最早为专辑写的歌之一 是”Knees of My Bees”，是向她交往超过一年的男友致敬的歌， : Among the rest of the ten tracks are "Eight Easy Steps," a song that begins : with seductive dance loops, then bursts into its explosive, guitar-heavy : chorus; the mid-tempo rocker "Everything"; and "Out Is Through," which : begins with a soft melodic intro and evolves into a towering hook. : "This Grudge" is a pretty ballad about letting go. Morissette sings, : "Fourteen years, thirty minutes, fifteen seconds I've held this : grudge/Eleven songs, four full journals, thoughts of punishments I've : expended." 其他的十首歌中还有”Eight Easy Steps”，由非常媚惑的dance loop开始， 突然转入爆炸的重吉他副歌... 我懒得翻了 : "At this particular time in my life the challenge for me was to figure out : this concept of forgiveness that always sounded so great on paper," : Morissette explains. "But how do you do it? I could say, 'Yes, I forgive : you.' But that doesn't mean I truly forgive a person. So this song wasn't : even so much about my having done it; it was about my yearning and : readiness to do it, or so I think." 目前对我来说挑战在於，原谅别人在在理论上是如此美好，但要如何作？ 我可以说”好，我原谅你。”但那并不代表我真的原谅一个人，所以这首歌 并不是真正关於我原谅了别人这件事，而是我希望而且准备要去原谅别人 : The album's title comes from a song of the same name that is one of : Morissette's most adventurous. It begins a detached, looping vocal, and : builds into a high-energy chorus in which Morissette sings, "I want to be : naked running through the streets/I want to invite this so-called chaos : that you think I dare not be," and then climaxes with a wall of distortion. : The experimental nature of "Chaos" is echoed elsewhere throughout the : album: Morissette plays around with dance loops, as well as her love for : Indian music ("Knees of my Bees" employs a sitar). "My records inform me : about where I'm at," she says. 专辑名称是来自於其中一首最具实验性的歌 : So where does she find herself on So-Called Chaos? "I don't consider myself : to be a piano artist, a loop artist, or a hip-hop artist. I don't know what : I am . . . and that shows." : STEVE BALTIN : (November 21, 2003) --
