All have been aired before but they are important non-the-less. Below is the list: Behind The Music - 04/23/01 09:00 pm ET VH1 Storytellers - 04/23/01 10:00 pm ET VH1 Music In High Places - 04/24/01 12:00 am ET MTV BEHIND THE MUSIC A look at the life of this Canadian-born superstar. Includes Alanis' childhood as a twin, her early success with the release of her first Canadian single at the age of ten and the release of her first Canadian album at 14. In search of larger recognition, Alanis moved to Los Angeles, and in 1995 at the age of 19 released "Jagged Little Pill." The album has sold over 29 million copies worldwide, earning her a record in the Guiness World Book of Records as having the highest selling debut album ever. Interviews with Alanis, her parents, brothers, Glen Ballard (Alanis' producer) and Guy Oseary (Label Executive). STORYTELLERS "There really is no emotion or part of myself that I'm afraid to write about," Morissette says. Songs performed include "Hand In My Pocket," "You Learn," "Thank You," "Unsent," "Still," "You Oughta Know" and "That I Would Be Good." Among Alanis' revelations: "You Learn" was "the first time in my life I was encouraged to focus on the things that were negative" "Unsent": "I wrote this one particular person in a letter I had not had the courage to send...I realized there were about 50 people I could write about, but I wasn't sure I wanted to write a song that was going to be an hour long. So I got the top 5 or 6 people I really wanted to have closure with...I felt like I needed to call a few people before I released it and I did. It actually forced me to deal directly with these people." "Still": This song was inspired by Kevin Smith's film, "Dogma," in which Alanis plays the role of God. The film is Smith's "take on Catholicism and God in general...I hadn't written anything in a long time and it felt really great...the lyrics are things I've thought a lot about lately...this is my take on what I believe God is." MUSIC IN HIGH PLACES In a series of one-hour television specials, a dozen of the world's best known recording artists will lead viewers on musical journeys to some of the world's most culturally and spiritually significant locations.
