Entry #1 Alanis Morissette - Ironic (Official Video)

IRONIC  by Alanis Morissette

Hey, I, I
Yeah, ah, ah
Yeah, I

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down, he thought

"Well, isn't this nice"
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

And who would've…

In order to write my introduction I have chosen the song Ironic by Alanis Morissette. This song represents many times in my life, some of them happy and enjoyable and other harder or more difficult.

Firstly, in the last ten years I have lived situations in which the humor and to take the things in a funny way helped me a lot. I have a son called Mariano who was diagnosed with T.E.L when he was three years old, since that moment some situations were ironic like the song's name. For example, one of his therapists, who helps him a lot, is mum of a girl who was my student when I didn't even dreamt to be a mother.
Secondly,when I listen to the song I can remember my youth. I was an adolescent when this song was very popular on the radio.Music can be a time magine. I can remember listening to this while I was hanging out with one of my best friends who is my son's godmother today.
Thirdly, the title of this song represents me with my personality. I use the irony most of the time but is one of the things that I have to avoid to use with my son who does not understand it because of his pathology.
Furthermore, the video shows the singer inside a car, she is alone, but representing different personalities. I share that feeling or being different personalities in one, I mean, all of us are not the same person in different kind of situations. 
Finally, I would like to highlight one of its lines which makes me think positive that is " life has a funny way of helping you out".
Life is uncertain and leads us down paths that can be hard but the way in which we face it will make the difference.
