Alanis Morissette - Big Sur Lyrics






Highway One
Crystalline-haunted sun
With the Pacific masculine crash

My little one
Enthralled by the redwoods
As I ride amongst monarchs and mist

Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen, the Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmuth and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur

Clear celestial and frogs
Fritz and cabins of logs
Amongst the springs we are barefoot and warmed

Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen, the Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmuth and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur

I am climbing on the Bluff
Beseeching God to answer us
Not much distracts from our shamanic creek breakfast
This watery heartbeat by the forest

Me and Anaïs and Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen, the Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmuth and Brautigan
All roads home to Big Sur

Me and Mickey and a paths high on the Molera
Me and Lolly and Bill watching a red-tailed hawk
Me and the posts take it all in through the big Ventana
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur

Alanis Morissette Big Sur Comments
  1. L.... L....

    When you don’t care about album sales and are only dedicated to making music from the heart. Bravo Alanis!

  2. S.... E....

    Bella e inteligente como siempre, qué ganas dan de ir a big sur escuchando tu preciosa canción.

  3. F.... A....

    De lo que me perdí,, cuando ella triunfaba con su gran voz y hermosa música, yo escuchaba otra música muy distinta y ahora que la escucho me parece maravillosa su gran voz

  4. M.... A....

    I miss the old Alanis.

  5. D.... T....

    What a beautiful soul. We're so glad to have you Alanis! But please give us a good quality version of You Learn video.pleaaaaaaaase!

    D.... T....

    @John Quick she has the You Learn video in her channel, but the framerate is totally off. If I had the video recorded from the Tv Id use. I wouldn't post it because that'd be stealing from Alanis. So I'm begging her to post the video in good quality.

  6. d.... h....

    Up up up

  7. J.... C....

    My goodness... patterns repeat... working your way up my state again are you?

  8. s.... ....

    Love you Alanis...

  9. L.... H....

    2019 and i'm still here

    L.... H....

    L H she’s back LH

  10. E.... C....

    Alanis, you should know that your song, and this video bring a great joy to my heart, and nostalgia for my family's homes on Big Sur's south coast even more. It is heartening to see an artist "get it" so well. I wonder... are you too a Big Sur local now?

  11. K.... L....

    Can you please put this song on Spotify? I’m from Big Sur and id love to be able to play it off YouTube ❤️❤️❤️

  12. C.... F....

    Is beautifil

  13. P.... A....

    Very nice! Alanis!

  14. M.... F....

    rich people are turning Big Sur into a gated community.thats what your video doesn't show.

  15. M.... F....

    car companies,sunset magazine,and your video.sell out beautiful places!just my opinion.

  16. M.... F....

    thanks for selling out Big Sur. I lived on partington ridge for many years.glad you own a piece.maybe do a Carles Junior's commercial next at Grimes.

  17. M.... L....

    Who in the hell are the 60 morons that downvoted this?!

  18. B.... W....

    The ironic jokes in this comment section are so lame

  19. c.... s....

    beautiful song and video, this could be Portugal "Costa Vicentina" , you are most welcome in Portugal.

  20. S.... J....

    Critics all say Alanis went soft. But I think at this point in her career she's experimenting with her vocals and sound more. More folk, almost Tori Amos/Kate Bush. This song was one of her most successful creations but I will admit I enjoyed the younger Alanis more

  21. a.... G....

    Esta cancion me recuerda a un amigo

  22. C.... F....

    Eu viajo para o passado com esta canção .

  23. S.... H....

    Dam she's a hottie 💓😘💓

  24. A.... D....

    I love this song

  25. M.... F....

    My very favorite place in the whole world..

  26. S.... ....

    Alanis é perfeita, desde 1996 com excelentes trabalhos, nossa rockeirinha é demais!!!

  27. J.... w....

    One of the better videos I have seen. I was 12 when Alanis made it to the radio and when my elder brother at the time bought her JAGGED LITTLE PILL CD . I'm ecstatic she's still making music. It allows more diversity into my life with music and musicians.

    J.... w....

    i was 17. First videos like Ironic filmed as a road videoclip is brilliant. Suppose Former Infatuation Junkie bright my days from that epic season in ma life. a Fan has a cover video from Ironic. im looking for & i´ll post u. #alanisfromcanada #deepsoulmusic (L)

  28. J.... G....

    Nice to know there are other women in their early to mid 40's that are hippies like me. Not a hipster... hippie/hipster. Besides Sheryl Crowe! Bet if u asked Allanis...she probably LUS Stevie Knicks!! #MissRealMusic

  29. H.... R....

    So inspiring

  30. c.... s....

    Portugal, "Costa alentejana do Sudoeste" , Portufal SW coast , perfect.

  31. N.... D....

    Beautiful alanis

  32. D.... F....

    I love alanis. She reminds me of Carly Simon.

  33. F.... B....

    Te amo te amo te amo Alanis Morissette valeu

  34. h.... ....

    you show me time bye time my highway in my live... synchron zu deiner erfahrung. wir sind seelenverwandt. gott in mir grüßt den gott in dir

  35. D.... M....

    i really feel your music <3

  36. V.... D....

    This song bring me a great peace an tranquility ! Thanks Alanis, you are the best singer of the world !

    V.... D....

    I believe she's reincarnated from Jesus

  37. R.... O....

    As her fan, I'm ashamed i just heard this song. It isn't on Havoc and Bright Lights album that I bought. I guess I gotta buy the deluxe one! LOL

  38. p.... ....

    She's an Angel

    I love her smiling in a car

  87. M.... ....

    I am a huge Alanis fan and I just see this for the first time. Um, how is this possible?
    BEautiful video for a beautiful song.

    M.... ....

    +Milino same.. who has been hiding them?

    M.... ....

    +Milino .....I was just thinking the same thing...... Havoc is arguably her best album yet, I've heard it about 50 times, and this isn't on it.....

    M.... ....

    I think Supposed Former is her best album yet, but I enjoyed Havoc a lot.

    M.... ....

    Way too hard to pick.... all her music is so damn good,.

    M.... ....

    Just had the same feeling when heard “Guru”
    A song of her with soul eye aka “husband “

  88. M.... A....

    hmmm... ok.

  89. B.... A....
