Alanis Morissette, 'Spiral' -- Song Premiere

August 17th 2012 11:00AM

Alanis Morissette is back with her new album Havoc and Bright Lights, and today we have the pleasure of premiering her new song "Spiral." The track finds the singer mulling self-doubt and the help one needs to get out of that vicious circle.

"The most important theme here is the last line of the chorus, the whole idea of reaching out to someone," Morissette tells Spinner. "Yes, personal empowerment and personal connection with spirit and self -- let's foster that. And let's foster personal responsibility. That's lovely, high fives. But we're social creatures. A sense of autonomy is lovely, but forgoing interdependence for some steely independence forgoes the opportunity for intimacy, connection, love and the healing of the planet."

Now that you know the message, enjoy the song below and pick up Havoc and Bright Lights on Aug. 28.
