Alanis Morissette has shared a cover of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s famous track, “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” with an accompanying video that gives a 2020 update to some of the iconic visuals from the 1971 track.
Morissette’s cover stays musically true to the original. The video shows her and her family in a big, white bed surrounded by flowers, toys and a guitar, with Lennon and Oko’s famous ‘Bed Peace’ poster behind them. Watch below.

“It is an honour to cover this heartwarming song,” Morissette said. “The lyrics feel more pertinent than ever and this year has been a year of great resilience and adapting and feeling all the feelings. May this song serve as a big hug to you and your sweet families and friends. Everything is going to be okay in the end, and if it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”
Earlier this year, Morissette celebrated the 25th anniversary of her breakthrough album, Jagged Little Pill with a very special deluxe reissue on CD and vinyl. Check out HERE.
