Highway One
Crystalline-haunted sun
With the pacific masculine crash
My little one
Enthralled by the redwoods
As I ride amongst monarchs and myths
Me and Anaïs Nin, Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
???? and ???? and frogs
Fritz and cabins of logs
Amongst (?) the springs we are barefoot and warmed
Me and Anaïs Nin, Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
I am climbing on the Bluff
Beseeching God to answer us
Not much distracts from our shamanic ???? breakfast (?)
This wandering heartbeat by the forest
Me and Anaïs Nin, Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads home to Big Sur
Me and Mickey and a path high on the Molera
Me and Lolly and Bill watching a red-tailed hawk
Me and the ???? linked through the ???? Ventana
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Crystalline-haunted sun
With the pacific masculine crash
My little one
Enthralled by the redwoods
As I ride amongst monarchs and myths
Me and Anaïs Nin, Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
???? and ???? and frogs
Fritz and cabins of logs
Amongst (?) the springs we are barefoot and warmed
Me and Anaïs Nin, Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
I am climbing on the Bluff
Beseeching God to answer us
Not much distracts from our shamanic ???? breakfast (?)
This wandering heartbeat by the forest
Me and Anaïs Nin, Henry and Jack Kerouac
Me and the Ohlone, the Esselen and Salinan
Me and Julia, Helmut and Brautigan
All roads home to Big Sur
Me and Mickey and a path high on the Molera
Me and Lolly and Bill watching a red-tailed hawk
Me and the ???? linked through the ???? Ventana
All roads lead to Big Sur
All roads home to Big Sur
Big Sur
Alanis Morissette's 'Big Sur' stands as a defining track from her 1992 debut album, *Jagged Little Pill*. The song exemplifies the alt-country and pop-rock fusion that characterized her early work, blending acoustic instrumentation with her signature raw vocal delivery. Released during a period of intense personal and artistic exploration, the recording captures the emotional turbulence of the era without relying on explicit lyrical content to convey its message. As one of the most recognizable songs from her discography, it remains a staple of her catalog, reflecting the indie rock sensibilities of the early 90s while establishing her status as a leading voice in alternative music.
