In her arms was a special guest who stole the show: her daughter, Onyx,\u00a0demonstrating that far from ruining a performance, meeting, or task, children&#8217;s beauty and innocence can enliven and brighten the otherwise ordinary circumstances of daily life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Such Pretty Forks in the Road&#8221; is Morissette&#8217;s ninth studio album which comes eight years after her last, in part, she told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/alanis-morissette-ablaze-song-fallon-1036798\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rolling Stone<\/a>, because she has been focused on raising her children.\u00a0Due to the pandemic, she performed her song &#8220;Ablaze&#8221; in her home library.<\/p>\n<p>Onyx, wearing her mother&#8217;s headphones, added colorful commentary throughout the song. Just before she began singing, Morissette sounded like every mom ever as she told Onyx, &#8220;Let&#8217;s not kick that [the mic stand].&#8221; After the first verse, Morissette paused for a split second to ask, &#8220;Is it too loud?&#8221; to which Onyx responded by shaking her head.<\/p>\n<p>A little bit later, Onyx said, &#8220;Hi, Mom,&#8221; and Morissette responded &#8220;Hi, baby&#8221; before launching into the next lyrics. At the end of the song, Onyx precociously told her mom, &#8220;You can keep going,&#8221; and then changed her mind saying, &#8220;OK, you can stop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jenJ4_TlZcU\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even more poignantly, the song &#8220;Ablaze&#8221; itself is a tribute to Morissette&#8217;s three children, with a section devoted to each one. She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/alanismorissette\/ablaze.html\">sings<\/a> to her oldest son, &#8220;To my boy, all that energy so vital\/Love your hues and your blues in equal measure\/Your comings and your goings-away\/My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze.&#8221; Then to Onyx, she sings, &#8220;To my girl, all your innocence and fire\/When you reach out, I am here hell or high water\/This nest is never going away\/My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze.&#8221; And finally, to her eight-month-old son, she says, &#8220;To my boy, my precious gentle warrior\/To your sweetness and your strength in exploring\/May this bond stay with you through all your days\/My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On &#8220;The Tonight Show&#8217;s&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jenJ4_TlZcU&amp;feature=emb_logo\">YouTube<\/a> page, the video has been viewed nearly one million times to date, and many commenters were touched by Onyx&#8217;s presence. One wrote, &#8220;Alanis singing about lovingly raising her daughter, and her daughter interrupting, giving us a small window into her relationship and parenting, brings a warm smile to my face.

Thanks Alanis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Morissette&#8217;s love for her family is evident in her voice, and beyond the cute factor of her daughter&#8217;s impromptu appearance, it&#8217;s clear that the experience of <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/motherhood-professional-success-arent-mutually-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">motherhood<\/a> has enriched her singing and performing.<\/p>\n<p>While most moms aren&#8217;t famous singers, certainly many can relate to a child interrupting a visit with a friend, a meeting, or another important task.
