Snap Cackle and Pop Interview

with Meredith Brooks November 17, 1997

She's a bitch, she's a lover, she's a child, she's a mother and she's one hell of a rock chick, just don't mention Alanis, she's Meredith Brooks and SNAP met her for a privileged chat about the new single, life, love and the universe. So, what's the new single about?

The new single is I Need, and, um, I just noticed that one day I was sitting on my couch, in my home in Los Angeles, and I was feeling uncomfortable. I just watched myself go through this whole process of , " oh this will fix it, that ill fix it", it made me laugh so I wrote a very sarcastic view on, you know, trying to always fix it, trying to change it so just feeling it.

But you're rocking all over the world, what else could you possibly need?

The only thing I think I need is love, that's the only thing I think that I would be probably feel pretty dead in my life if I didn't have love

Well you're obviously very much alive, and to love is to give as Meredith informed us.

If I could give one gift from my parents to every parent in the world, it would be that, "see your child for who they really are", don't project on to them what you think they need to be because they're not following their purpose.

Ah, such loving thoughts from a woman who wrote about being a bitch.

It's actually a song of kindness, its like saying, ok, lets accept ourselves and each other. That I was doing what I call re-educationing through semantic realignment, in other words was taking a word of a negative derogatory meaning and change it forever. I always knew there was one significant song that would just take me to the world to allow them to hear the rest of my art, and so when 'Bitch' was written I knew ' oh there you are!'

We have heard the word Meredith, we have listened to Blurring The Edges, but we don't understand?

Blurring the edges means to live in a parallel universe, when you go into the zone, like when an athlete goes into the zone, or a musician, or perhaps us now, where you're in this flow where things are working. I believe you access information at a different or a higher level almost.

Ah....you're losing us Meredith!. Down to business, what is the deal about the comparisons with you and Alanis Morrisette?

I see it as very lazy journalism, I don't think there's anything to be compared to, I have no charge on it because I think it's one of the most funniest thing in life, because I bought the album and I listened to it and I went..........'is anybody listening, hello?!'

Probably not!
