Alanis Morissette, a singer of the 90's, has always been one of my favorite artists. Her songs are unlike anything you hear today. In support of Marianne Williamson, a female running for a seat in Congress, Alanis wrote and recorded "Today." The general message of the song is the goal to get our nation back together because we are no longer united ("start the mending of our union"). Some of the influential lines of the song are "activate our nation" and "ignite our generation." People are not as involved in politics as they used to be and this Alanis wants to do something about it. Younger generations, especially, need to be getting more involved (myself included). This song is encouraging because Alanis is standing behind and rooting for another female. The message behind the message is women supporting women, because typically women are competition for other women.
