lyrics:
One day I'll find relief
I'll be arrived and I'll be a friend to my friends who know how to be friends
One day I'll be at peace
Ill be enlightened and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt
One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete
One day, my mind will retreat, and I'll know god and I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day I'll be secure, like the women I see on their 30th anniversaries
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete
Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous and torturous
But never done
One day, I will speak freely
I'll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith-filled
I'll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and whole
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete
Maybe it is not her most succesfull album, but personally... Flavors of Entanglements is my favourite album.
Under rug swept for me❤
@@seanwaters557 URS was the album I met Alanis. I saved some money for buy the cassette, I still keep it!
I adore this song. The women in their 30th anniversaries always gets me
She is currently living THAT day, I am terribly happy for her. Totally deserved.
Alanis is the best. Hands down. No auto tune, no frills, just pure emotion. And talent!
It's beautiful because now she has those things with her marriage and family. 💖💖
Yes :-)
that was a clairvoyance song ;-) God bless her muchly !!!
Yes, but the point of the song is that we're all forever incomplete. It's poking fun at herself for seeking some fantasy of enlightenment where you're perfect, never have any doubts or flaws, etc. She did do some A+ manifesting, though. ❤
She's been my all-time favorite singer-songwriter since 1995 and always will be.
This woman is more than amazing. She's pure art!
One day she'll be measured outside of her poems and lyrics and art
I'm Amit from ISRAEL. I just love Alanis and her songs... She's so good... 2 bad that maybe she doesn't see youtube comments like this... LOVE YOU.
This is one of my favorites of her amazing album, her voice never seizes to amaze me, she's truly incredible!
Her way with words. Flawless, in every way. God has planted such a beautiful gift in her. Her music has helped me tremendously. God bless you, Alanis.
The most healing and self respecting song for a woman to listen to in the history of ever.
love you love you love you Alanis
Now she's complete 😍
Irrespective of the negative comments.. this is a woman who has lived and learned... I love Alanis. She is spot on! You go girl xx
Wow, I'[ve never heard this song before. and I LOVE Alanis. This is awesome! SHe should watch this now.... holding her little baby with her hubby. You rock Alanis.
It's so wonderful that you exist, you give me joy and confidence with every one of your loving songs
she's amazing. i can relate to so many songs of hers...
This song has literally helped me. I HAVE been running my whole life urgently looking for a finish line. When you don't find one it can be very depressing... realizing that yes, I can be and am forever incomplete, it is cathartic and absolutely freeing, Alanis Morisette has saved my life once in the past (mary jane stopped me from harming myself) and she is helping me cope with life now. I'm forever in her debt.
my all time fav singer! wordsmith extraordinare
Beautiful performance, by a beautiful woman. Come to Ireland Alanis! :)
This song is all about soul to me. Every time I listen to this song my soul smiles with such a joy I can't describe. Thank you Alanis for being creativly lovely
just so beautiful,One day,every day,your music is heart warming,thank you Alanis
very beautiful
Julia, I cried like a baby, too. What's THAT all about? Sincerity? Vulnerability? I am more convinced than ever that she is adorable.... Oh. Well. Sweetness.
it is about accepting ourselves as we are, the more we grasp to be perfect to be always connected , the more we suffer we are always incomplete we do no need to rush into something it is just about living the present and take things easier but keeping going.
Alanis, I think you have got to the finish line. Just so beautiful, and I rarely use that word. Perfect.
hey everyone. i am a guy who stayed in a very small Chinese town when listened to this awesome song three years ago. it was the most difficult year for me, but this song gave me a strong encourage and release me peacefully. now, i have almost everything i desired before, and began to feel satisfied. When i found this song again, i really feel happy and when re-listen to this awesome song, i cried again.... thank you, Alanis Morssette; thanks for your voice and song.
the voice is what makes her so beautiful!
Great! Who is listening to Alanis in nov2019?
I hope she is. She deserves it. This is an amazing performance of a great song. I'm a guy but I relate to it so much, just that hope that someday the crazy insanity in our minds will calm down and we can be happy with ourselves
TY SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS PRECIOUS GIFT FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL PRINCESSES MASTER PIECE!!! 😍
I'm crying like a baby! hahahah
What a great message. I love it.

I agree too
Her best album., finally her life is matching up with her songs!
SHE LOOKS ABSOLOUTELY NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!
ill be honest im happy she sings as she does, as i was listening to this i thought to myself "im sure theres some people out there who hate her", but just watching her perform makes me happy...
Oh Alanis, thank you. I've never heard this song before, but it was just what I needed to hear today. We're all forever incomplete, and that's how it should be.

Hey, all of the team deserves one day. So, some love for all. ❤
This makes me smile! :)
The songs speaks for embracing the present moment and not live in a "some day" happiness. Past and future are illusions of the mind. Make every effort to be fuly present in the here and now with whatever you have within you and outside.
wow....simply amazing. love her voice
she's so cute! Love her voice! Love her accent! Love her! wonderful singer!
I LOVE YOU ALANIS! your voice is pure, and so beautiful! mwah!
🥀. TY SO MUCH FOR THIS PRICELESS GEM!!! 😍
This is timeless ❤
My god she is a goddess
I see soooo much more beauty in her in older days than before. I find her outstanding, such an enourmous talent for expanding the sensation of peace and wholeness.
Questi erano veri artisti pop w gli anni 90 forever....
one word for AlaNiS "A-M-A-Z-I-N-G"
This is one of my favorites TOO of her AMAZING Album. The first one for me is "Giggling again for no reason...". This song "Incomplete" is really GREAT ! I'm listening to it all along these days ! WOOooOOW Alanis your are .....NO WORD !
Like many of her songs she speaks right to my heart! Love you Alanis!
Alanis, Congratulations on the baby boy on Christmas Day!
You complete . . . US!
Beautiful lyrics sung with meaning
Fantastic voice.
that was beautiful.
I love her SO much. Watching her performing alive here in Argentina last thursday was one of the best things that ever happened to me :D
great song, great lyrics...i love her too...she is a gemini:-) like me
now i understand why she is my favorit singer!
The words to this song ring so true
I really loved this cd......Flavors is really one of her best albums to date!! I hope to see more music like that from Alanis again! But if Alanis goes back to familar sounds from the past I am up for that too! She has really grown as an artist!
never saw this.... but it will get my favorite, i know!
love this song, she is awesome!
What i love about this is it has the Alanis sound! I mean she makes Alanis Morissette Music like the way U2 Make U2 Music! She has that sound that's recognised in many of her songs. Like take for instance, UR that has that same vibe! Here wonder if she will play her Harmonica again on another Album in the future? She has'nt done it since her Suppose Former Days!!
I'll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and whole genius.
Non esiste al mondo un'altra come te!! Grazie di esistere Lani!
I like her long long hair and her voice so terrific.
excellent song and performance from a true artist...
such a beautiful song (L)
I so adore those of you who post such lovely videos! ❤️
She so pretty
She is fantastic!
Alanis is one of my favorite singers in the world. Her lyric are so deep and some times when I listen to her songs I feel that her voice and her lyrics are so beatiful that she makes me cry. I so proud of her because she is living the life that she always wants for herself.
@Sanctimoniousness ((hugs)) sending you light to keep your spirits lifted.
My mommy loves this song :)
