"That I Would Be Good" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette that was first featured on her 1998 album ''Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie'' and later an acoustic live version of the song was recorded during a session for ''MTV Unplugged'' on September 18, 1999. It was released as a single for the latter album on February 8, 2000. The lyrics relate Morissette's intimate feelings about being judged, insecurity and self-doubt, expressing in theme and variation the desire to be sufficient in the face of changing external circumstances. The song received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the flute-solo by Morissette and its sweetness. Commercially, the single only charted on ''Billboards "Adult Top 40" and Netherlands's Dutch Top 40. == Background and writing == "That I Would Be Good" was one of the songs included on Alanis Morissette's fourth studio album, "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" (1998). Eventually, the album spawned four singles, with "Thank U" being the most successful single.〔 Later, Alanis wrote the song "Still" for the soundtrack album of the 1999 film, ''Dogma''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-m/alanismorissette_main.htm )〕 On September 18, 1999, Alanis recorded an MTV Unplugged special, singing songs from her previous albums, "Jagged Little Pill" (1995) and "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" (1998), as well as previously unreleased tracks. The constant electrical buzz that can be heard throughout the track came unintentionally from Ballard recording too close to an amplifier. He re-recorded the guitar section to correct it, but Morissette immediately noticed the change - "What happened to the original?" - Ballard told her the buzz was bothering him, but she said, "No way. We've lost the magic, and you've gotta put it back."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Making of Alanis Morissette's Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie by Greg Rule (page 8) )〕 "That I Would Be Good" was chosen to be the lead-single of the album, being released on December 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/that-i-would-be-good-mw0001094007 )〕 The CD Single features the 'MTV Unplugged' version of "That I Would Be Good" and live versions of "Would Not Come", "I Was Hoping" (from ''Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie'') and "Forgiven" (from ''Jagged Little Pill).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Alanis-Morissette-That-I-Would-Be-Good/master/210356 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「That I Would Be Good」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
