Yeah, you are correct about the India reference. She is thanking the country for helping her find her spirituality through Buddhism. She once said in an interview that when she realized the ultimate truth of Buddhism (Everything is an illusion) and it basically destroyed her whole materialistic worldview, she even says that she "Died" in a way, and once she realized there was no separation between things, and time itself is a construct of mind, she realized that there is only the moment, and she said it triggered an intense compassion within her for herself and everything else...
This song is what it feels like when you figure out how to stop the ego & chaos spiral downward and are able to feel gratitude for the lessons we’ve learned.
Word. Her best song imo. Gotta say- I'd take Fiona Apple over Alanis anyday though. This here is a great song though. Good thing we don't really HAVE to choose. 😂💀
India is a reference to her trip she took after Jagged Little Pill. That album became so big, it was overwhelming for her. While in India, she learned to recenter herself and came back and made her second album, which included this song.
You are a wise young man and your reaction to this makes me, for lack of a better word, proud as.... F. Check out the official and I also highly suggest checking out her live performance of this. Keep it up my friend. Never forget to be thankful for silence.
If you like the lesson in this one you would LOVE "You Learn" by her. It's similar, but a little different, and it's my absolute favorite she sings for a lot of the same reasons! So much positive messaging in learning from our experiences/mistakes. Love it!
This a another great Alanis song...one of my favorites. "You Learn" is probably my favorite though. I believe this one, Thank U, she wrote after taking some time to visit India. But the "thank you India...thank you terror" is said to be sarcasm because India had just finished its nuclear testing.

I wish more female artists would write songs like this these days tbh, most of her songs are deep n have a powerful meaning.
Great reaction
The older I get the more meaningful this song is to me. I might put it in my top 10 favorite list. Just gets me every time
I. LOVE. HER!!! ❤❤❤

Saw her live, last summer. She has only become stronger over time. Absolutely killed it. She actually stunned us with her power.
I saw her live too. It was so good. She's incredibly talented! 🙌
She wrote this after a spiritual trip to India. You’re right on target, bro. And when u watch the original video you’ll get it even more
The Queen of the mid-90s…I still love everything she does

In the original video, she’s raw and open and bare, literally and metaphorically and lyrically
That I Would Be Good is another AMAZING song by Alanis. She’s a gem. ❤️
