“Everything” by Alanis Morissette

"Everything" was the first single from Alanis Morissette's sixth album So-Called Chaos, even though it sits at the very end of the record as the closing track. Morissette wrote it alone and produced it with John Shanks, with Tim Thorney adding production, Kenny Aronoff on drums, a stack of guitarists and keyboard players filling out the sound, and Chris Lord-Alge mixing.

Radio got a trimmed version: the edit sent to stations lost more than 60 seconds, an entire verse stitched out, and the video swapped a cuss word in its opening line for "nightmare." It stalled at 76 on the Hot 100 but went to number one on the Billboard Triple-A chart, reached four on Adult Top 40, and hit number three back home in Canada.
