Alanis: Ironic (aka The Iconic Canadian Winter Video)

maudlinsays...

I'm not a huge Alanis fan, and yeah, she misses the definition of "ironic" several times over. But I love this video because I know that weather, that lowering winter light, that salt-scarred car, and those colourful wool clothes. I can smell that damn car, too, with its mixture of old cigarette smoke and that dank underground garage odour.

So call this submission a combo of nostalgia and synaesthesia. Proust had his madeleines, I have Alanis.

(And thanks to firefly for this video, which reminded me to look for this one.)
