In Praise of the Vulnerable ManAlanis Morissette

Songwriter: Guy Sigsworth Alanis Morissette

Producer: Guy Sigsworth

[Verse 1]
You are the bravest man I've ever met
You unreluctant at treacherous ledge
You are the sexiest man I’ve ever been with
Oh you, never hotter than with armor spent
When you do what you do to provide
How you land in the soft as you fortify

[Chorus]
This is in praise of the vulnerable man
Why won’t you lead the rest of your cavalry home?

[Verse 2]
You, with your eyes mix strength with abandon
You with your new kind of heroism
And I bow and I bow down to you
To the grace that it takes to melt on through

[Chorus]
This is in praise of the vulnerable man
Why don’t you lead the rest of your cavalry home?
This is a thank you for letting me in
Indeed in praise of the vulnerable man

[Verse 3]
You are the greatest man I’ve ever met
You, the stealth setter of new precedents
And I vow and I vow to be true
And I vow and I vow not to take advantage

[Chorus]
This is in praise of the vulnerable man
Why won’t you lead the rest of your cavalry home?
This is a thank you for letting me in
Indeed in praise of the vulnerable man

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
