When I was 12 my bestfriend Bree lost her mom and the next morning I was in her living room with her and she put's this cassette in and Jewel comes on. It was this song specifically and she tells me this song reminds of her mom and we listened to it over and over again while I helped her clean her house for her dad. Four years later Bree died in a car accident and I played this for her,for me, endlessly. She was the first person to teach me that music can soothe the soul and bring some much needed peace and a little reprieve from heartache.
That's so sad. Sorry for your loss ☹
Sammy I hope you're doing good in this hard times, rip Bree and mom ❤️.
So very sad story...hope you’re doing ok.
Wow...
Thank you all for you concern and kind words, I'm doing good,it's been 18 years since she passed. I miss her, I always will. The hurt lessens over time but you always miss the ones you love that you lose. I hope your all doing well and wish you all a better year than last.
My late wife introduced me to this great singer musically in 1997. R.I.P. my love Anne.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
💖💖💖
Hopefully you have memories you'll never forget.

This song reminds me of riding in my Dad's Buick LeSabre with my mom behind the wheel and Jewel's album playing. Me and my sisters in the back. What we call human nature is actually human habit, that is what was written on Jewel's first album. My mom was a fantastic person. Mother's day is coming up in 2 days and I am grateful to have had a mom like her. She succumbed to stage 4 breast cancer in 2018. Thanks mom.
I'm trying to recover from an alcohol addiction. I'm 1 week in, going strong. I was feeling the urge to drink this morning until I heard this song. It gave me strength to keep pushing forward with my sobriety. Everything about this song touches my soul. God bless the people who made it!! I will definitely be tapping into this song often.
And yes I quit drinking alcohol so know it can be done so walk on!
You can do this!
Keep it up! Proud of you.
You’ll feel the urge to drink for months because your body is dependent upon it but gradually it fades and when it fully goes away the clarity and benefits are worth going through it. Good luck to you
Wishing you all the best.
“I’m half alive but I feel mostly dead”
Anyone that has had a broken heart can completely understand this.
My life has been very colorful but now in the twilight of life , I find myself quite alone . Music to me is therapeutic , a beautiful Melody along with relatable lyrics and lovely voice sometimes can sooth a lonely heart .
😢😢
Exactly !, heartbreak comes with a lot pain !! Then we give ourselves what the person didnt give to us.
Respect, loyalty etc.
This is the 1st time since 1999 that I have been able to listen to this haunting song. It was my mother's favourite song and it was playing on repeat on tape, when she committed suicide in 1999 This song still haunts me. Sorry for the info but I finally have closure to press play and embrace the pain and try to see to the beauty maybe she may have heard so she didn't die alone , thank you jewel for being there for her, even just your voice. you said the words that she could not. Peace, love and light to everyone who took the time to read this. Remember that you are not alone in this world, please ask for help if you are having a hard time, call a friend, hotline, anyone. Don't be afraid to ask for help, like my mom, life is better with you in it, even when yourself feels like you don't. You matter to someone, you have a purpose even if it's a message of hope. ✌️ ❤️ 🌞
I'm happy you have closure and finally able to listen to this song. And thank you for sharing with us. ❤
I think I needed to hear that and I didnt even know it. I am so sorry that you lost your mom. I dont deal with grief well. A death of anyone close to me or seeing anyone feel that pain and not being able to take it away, hurts me SO VERY BADLY. I just ache to see or hear of someone missing a loved one. Sometimes the only way I find any kind of solace is to cry my fu##in eyes out. Reading this really did help me alot and I thank you. I hope you have found your path and are happy. Thank you again. Xo
I'm sorry about your mom and I know life can change in an instant. I've had tribulations myself. Life can bring you down like an anchor, all you can do is try and jump over that hoop, pick yourself up and keep moving forward. My father passed away and I basically saw him die three times. I still miss him. His kidneys went out so he died in the hospital, I did get to say goodbye, even though he was in a coma. Then went to where everyone says goodbye,,a memorial service had to wait for the ground to thaw out and that was the funeral. I am a writer of poetry and lyrics. I love music, all kinds. There's been many times I was in misery,in sorrow. But now things are looking up
@@DoNotTrustHorses my name is Lauren and I was reading about Veronica's mother and Jewel. I left her a voice from within about some of my past. I would like to be able to make new friends and help eachother through this world we live in. I'm a writer of poetry and lyrics and my life has brought me to many crossroads and probably bad decisions. How your soul feels it has given away. I'm divorced and on disability, but I try now to look at life with a smile. Can you relate
💖
I can listen to this song over and over and never get tired of it.
❤❤❤
As a song writer, these lyrics are so descriptive of what it’s like to lose someone and feel nothing but shock and heartache, going through the motions… a perfect auditorial illustration.
I always get choked up at the “I go about my business, I’m doing fine, besides what would I say if I had you on the line? Same old story not much to say; hearts are broken everyday.”
It just occurred to me that this line is foreshadowed earlier when she reads the paper and it says " more hearts being broken ... "
@@ninjaslashippie Absolutely!
My brother was born when this song came out. I was an only child for 16 years. I used to sing this to him when he was a baby. He is 23 and lives on the other side of the world now. When it does come on the radio makes me miss my baby brother.
Let him know you how much you love him!! You're awesome!
I lost my baby brother. I would give anything to talk to him. Call your brother and tell him you love him!
I hope he nose what the song means to you that's a beautiful story you're a beautiful sister God bless
Knows
Love that
Still hits my heart like a freight train at the age of 32.. life was so full of joy and possibilities when this would come on in my parents car. Its not over yet.. time to Rediscover happiness.
Wait until you hit 40.
All that is beautiful is from above, it is a divine gift. When we hear these gifts so beautifully used as it is in this video, we have an inner, deep feeling that can't be explained, and it hits hard. The world was never meant to be this way
@@zzzzz77771dont think i wanna hit 40(31 now) life is beautiful as is the world, its the people that make it unbearable
I’ll never forget hearing Jewel sing this at a small concert in SC, around the early 2000’s. I took my 4 year old daughter, and I was in the middle of a really bad divorce. I needed her words that day and many many times after. Her music has gotten me through some really tough times. Now I listen and just smile bc I am happy qnd grateful for those tough times bc they led me here, right where I belong.
❤😅❤😅❤😅
Yeah this is such an intense and sad song, and can feel very heavy at times. Still really beautiful
☺️🍀
I'm 62 years old, I'm still playing this song on the guitar! I still have the sheet music I bought decades ago! Love this. Love her.
U go bub.im 60.its 12:44 am I. Jamming
Awesome! 😊
Keep up, enjoy!
And I do too. So easy same ol 3 chords-haha
But we need some Tori to guitar
Back in May of 2000 my wife and little boy were both killed by a drunk driver. After the police notified me and had left I pulled myself together and headed upstairs to let my 10 year old daughter know what had happened. When I walked into her bedroom she saw my tear streaked face and, in her words, “I could tell you were dying inside, it was all over your face.” As I sat there trying to comfort her this song was playing on her radio. I didn’t know who Jewel was and, being a Classic Rock guy, I doubt that I had ever heard any of her music until that moment. Ive heard this song many times over the years since and it always takes me back to that night. The song is beautiful but I definitely have a love/hate relationship with it. I miss my wife and my little man as much now as I ever have and this song can still make me tear up. Sorry for the long, rambling post but I heard this again on my way to work this morning and I decided to Google the video and check the comments to see if anyone else had a story like mine. Reading them inspired me to tell my own. I’m off now to teach my 6 year old grandson the right way to bait a hook and, hopefully, how to clean a trout. Wish us luck!
Sorry for your loss 😢
You have no need to apologize. Thank you for sharing your story. I am sorry for your loss.
I hope you catch the biggest trout in the lake!!! ❤🙏
Your rambling on put tears in my eyes. 😢.it's suffocating to lose lived ones but we all move forward. We all will be together again.
As a father... This absolutely breaks my heart. I hope you and your daughter have found the strength and courage to smile even after all these years.
I've lost many loved ones but a child... I'm not confident I have the strength to recover.
This is one of THOSE songs. It will stand the test of time. Beautiful song. Beautiful lady❤
My beloved cat died all of a sudden. He was silent, didn't even meow or make any sound at all. But I loved him and I know he loved me. This song reminds of him daily.
yeah you found each other!
💜✝️🙏
Cats are the best😅.
❤❤ I'm so sorry. I know exactly how that feels. We lost one of our cats a long time ago, they are not just pets. They are part of the family, Yes your cat did love you just like ours loved us, we have her two children. I found her. She gave birth to four kittens. I kept two and the mother. Prayers and blessings to you ❤️❤️🐾🐈
Cats are my favorite animal!
I can't dude. Her voice is so beautiful & so are the lyrics. Straight tear-jerker. I hope everyone here knows they are loved.
Incredibly beautiful and unique with emotion
I needed that tonight thank you
🥲
By? My cat ?
What a beautiful thing to say Gregory ❤❤
Jewel is such a rare breed her voice is so unique and one of a kind. 90s music was the best time for music.
Hello Good morning how are you doing today and how is the weather over there ?

So true!
I didn’t feel that with this one, but I did when Kevin from the office sang it
I was a teenager when this album came out, and at forty-one...I’m still a fan. I’m glad that it’s getting the anniversary recognition it deserves. 💛
Me too!
Me too. Played this album non stop. Brings all the feelings and emotions of my years back then, the goods and the bads. Love Jewel. Love the show on the weekend. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Me too!
Same. I was 15 when it came out. I am just as in love with her music as I was way back then
Weren't you like 24 though?
Hard to believe that album was released 25 years ago. Wow.
Seems like I just got it yesterday!
🌷
I was four years old if that's true
dang i just turned 25 a month ago... Time is starting to go by quickly .
@@chattergate12 birth to eighteen seems like an eternity but after eighteen time flies. I went from 18 to mid 30s in the snap of a finger. Enjoy your twenties.
@@johnnyg.4580 will try to .
This whole album was really special. The 90s brought us the last of really great music from rap to pop to metal to grunge to country. It was the last great decade.
👌 Absolutely agree with you!
ABS-O-FREAKIN-ULETY! 90'S were when i was in high school. No worries, just fun!
Here for Judge Frank Capiro . His recent reel made me cry . This song gets him through chemo and the angels speak to him through this song . Praying for you Judge !! ♥️🥺
Same ❤
Who's here February 2021?? Still a great song all these years later. Thank you CZcams for randomly reminding me of it by putting it in my recommended. Great 90s memories!
So many good stories and comments on this video. In a time of despair this made my day so much brighter.
Yes.
Will you stop with the "it is currently Year XXXX" nonsense? There is more substance to you than that. You have more value as a person than knowing what the current year is.
@@stevenfernandez4845 This is true, however one can consider it a time capsule of sorts. I find it interesting on these older songs to see who's still listening and cares enough to comment.
@@marym.3066 couldnt agree more....im with u on this 👌👌👌
I took so many of these 90's pop/easy listening songs for granted when I was young and dumb but now that I'm older and dumber, they truly are beautiful songs!
I enjoyed them when I was younger but now that I’m older I really appreciate them because they are beautiful songs that give people life.
I'm stupid as fuck brother.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
If you appreciate them more now, you're definitely not 'dumber'. Not when it comes to taste in music, at least.
nostalgia bias alert
This was my moms favorite song, she passed along time ago but I still come back to this song and it makes me feel well. Thanks Jewel.
I’m so sorry for you loss:(
@melodyal3357 thanks melody ❤️ when I was kid I use to stand on the table to match my mom's height an we would dance to this song. Listening to it brings back that memory. It's a bitter sweet feeling for sure.
Anyone from the 90s here? OMG you member this song!!! Take me back!!!!!
Takes me back to a 20 year old girl with a broken heart it feels so weird right now
@@luzluz3752 that heartbreak that you'll never forget, can't forget. Cause you've tried
@@rldn1🎉😅😅.
Yeah me… good times ey
The blonde guy looks exactly like my boyfriend from that period
Lyrics:
I hear the clock, it's 6 AM
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
Wipe the spots off of the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
I called my mama, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy or I was sad
And it made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
I go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line?
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken every day
I brush my teeth, I put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick up a book up and then I turn the sheets down
And then I take a deep breath, a good look around
Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll all be alright
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
And I know that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Yeah, you were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Hello Good morning how are you doing today and how is the weather over there?
Thank you
Thank uu
People with no ears thank you
@@jewelkilcher5058 Stormy weather ahead! Still miss my husband who died over 4 years ago 😢! The holidays are tough time❤
This song is timeless. Thank you Jewel
Agreed
She's beautiful ❤️
Absolutely!
You are so right
This is the perfect comment to reply too. Here's why.
This song IS timeless. It appeals to just about everyone. It has a contemplative melody. Its got relatable lyrics. But additionally, it has one of the best voices to every have graced a microphone. This song IS timeless for all the reasons I've stated and much more. We should take, if only a moment to digest that truth.
But here's the catch. This video is horseshit. This takes (what continues to be) a song for the ages, and instead, inserts freshman arts school dropout garbage into our collective minds. It takes everything relatable about the lyrics and detaches the viewer by introducing artificially lit stages, over the top, forced set pieces. It absolutely butcher's the personal relationship every individual has with the universals life experiences expressed in the lyrics. It stylistly removes you from the tone of the melody. Having a generic woman or man, (age, race, income, doesn't matter) going through the motions of their day (drinking coffee, riding the bus, stuck in traffic, at the break room in the office and coming home at night) would serve the virtue of this gem so much better. Instead we get 2 chair set pieces, overly done up Jewel getting a weird massage? Some shirtless dude with a permed deer trail hovering around?
As a fellow Alaskan I feel abliged to ask, who was this videos director related too? How did this happen? How much did someone's out of work brother-in-law get paid to ruin our collective relationship with this timeless song? Would natural lighting and relatable environments kill you?
Thank you for reading this comment internet people. I wish you all a wonderful new year filled with health and happiness. Also, I am currently whiskey drunk. Thank you.
Happy Birthday today, Jewel! To the singer celebrating a milestone today.
Back when love was more important than career.
It's crazy how JRE podcasts get so emotional sometimes. And to think it was with Jewel.
Sometimes I forget that I am not 17. Then I play this song and I am,
Wow!! Just wow!! This is a really powerful comment!! I know exactly what you mean.
When we listen to this song, were all 17 forever brother,. This song is timeless.
Quite possibly a perfect comment. Cheers! 👍
Agreed Pure Nostalgia 🙏🏽💙🙏🏽
I was like 7 when it came out, I loved it and now as a fresh widow it has come back into mind. It takes me back to being 7 but it doesnt feel good- i feel like i was wiser then than in my early adult years... life is cruel
Couldn’t watch MTV in the 90’s without hearing this song
Brings me back to my teenage years! Thank you Jewel
My first concert was jewel. My mom called a radio station on her lunch break at work and won tickets. I was 10 and never forget.
Wooow! That must be an amazing memory☺️
I grew up with this as well as Alanis Morissette, Sheryl crow, Joan Osborne, No Doubt..had no idea of her story. Thanks JRE.
My wife loved this song. She was with me 40 years before she passed. She was was a wonderful woman. Now she with Jesus.
God rest her soul.
Sorry to hear, brother!
All the best.
She's in heaven praise the Lord!🙏🙏🙏
As a raging metalhead, I say this song is beautiful. That's right. I said that. It's beautiful.
I’m glad you appreciate Jewel’s talent.
I grew up in the Bay loyal to the thrash scene we spawned. I totally agree, beautiful song. Love some Jewel
True musicians do not discriminate against beautiful music bo matter the genre. You're well within your rights to appreciate this song.

“That was one of the best podcasts ever” 😭😭😭
I agree! She is an amazing person and her story is a whirl wind of emotions.
Smart lady
I seriously can't stop talking about it. She's so emotionally intelligent.
absolutely crazy!
Trailer Swift.
My mothers favourite artist. Lost her last month, we shared a lot of songs, but this was our #1. She was my platonic soulmate. She was really meant for me.
💔🥹❤️
I’ve sang this for 12 years to my little boys. It always soothed them as babies.
12 year old baby benjamin button types :O
Smooth yet relaxing- Jewel reaffirms what I have believed 😢We all have soul mate- don't know where, don't know when but often right where we are- Friendship can turn to love if we are open 😮to it.😊
God music doesn't sound like this anymore I miss it so much
Right? today they dont much time at all to create a good quality melody.
It's not on the radio or on the charts, but if you look hard enough you can still find people who play music like this.
You can say that again.
Yes it does, just don't listen to pop music.
Welcome to the CZcams Time Machine! It's a beautiful look back into the past isn't it? God bless you and have a great day!
My sister and I have sung this together since 1997 as teens. 37 and 39 now we still play it on guitar, glass of whiskey - thank you for bringing beauty into those moments we share
You should post a video
@@superduper9981 I agree :)
Amen 🙏 the years fly by to quickly 😢
I first heard jewel in
my 20's... I'm now 51 and oh my God... This woman sparks all kinds of goodness within me..
Reminds me of when my sister was born. My mom listened to this album and jagged little pill.
I can appreciate both now as an adult way more than back then.
After watching the Joe Rogan podcast w/ Jewel, I immediately had to listen to this beautiful artist.
Dude seriously. I always liked her music when I heard it. I hope younger people see what kind of music we used to listen to not long ago. Just know that there is other stuff than what is currently popular.
Great minds think alike.
Is this the first time y'all have heard this?
@@David-kg1hc It's pretty clear from the context that it's not.
Same
Just saw her live last night in San Diego, she absolutely stole the night, all I can say is mastery, she’s a musical master
Tourmaline Beach is where I met her years ago...
Same here. She opened for Train and I was surprised by her performance. Amazing!
Saw her in June with Train and what an amazing show! Would absolutely see her again!!
@@Rachel-ub5iu I left right after Train began, that's how good Jewel was, blew train away.
She's a legend
Jewel is magical. Period
What a voice, this song will never get old. Jewel has that gift of reaching deep into your soul. Besides the fact that Jewel is drop dead gorgeous!
Don't think like that reason why I don't want you to get hurt being around me cause I don't know when I'm getting killed
"I break the yokes and make a smiley face" is easily the best love song line of all time.
Wait no, "consoled a cup of coffee, but it didn't want to talk" is amazing too.
Actually no I think "i'm half alive, but I feel mostly dead" is the best part.
This whole song is absolute BARS. Who would have expected that to come from Jewel?
I thought it was kid sold a cup of coffee, but he didn't wanna talk! Damn I've been singing it wrong
I still quite “I’m half alive but I feel mostly dead” till now
Listening to her on jre has me here all these years later
Hmm. Guess that's why we're all here then..
Same
Same😂😂
Same lol
By buddy and I were walking to a party at Penn State in 1995 and saw a stage on the HUB lawn with a big Playboy bunny on the side. Naturally we checked it out. It was a small concert and Jewel was singing. The heavy Seattle sound was still the rage but we both thought she was talented and cute as hell. I bought the CD later that week. Loved it
It doesnt matter how much time passes i will always come back to this song
Yes ❤
I'm loving seeing others who are here after her JRE interview. She's such a beautiful and authentic soul.
The most appropriate artist name ever.
She truly is a jewel.
My mom passed away in 2013, she was my absolute best friend. She always played this song in the car when I was in middle school and it became one of my favorite songs. I’m playing it now 10 years later and it’s so beautifully nostalgic.
Mine mom passed oct 2013.. cancer.. this song kills me
I never liked Pam and Roy together, but the scene where they slow dance to this song at Phyllis’s wedding always makes me tear up.
Yess
I didn't even know about this song until I watched that scene from The Office.. and now here I am. Beautiful song.
EDIT: lol Kevin singing it, and Roy payed them off to sing it.
Beatiful Juwel de los 90
I actually liked How Kevin sang it, who knew!
Here after the scene haha
I heard this song after having an argument with my husband and it made me feel super heartbroken. I just imagined that this is how I would feel and how I would cope if I lost him and it made me value what we have. Later that night I told him about how melancholic I felt after the argument and listening to Jewel’s song and he told me he was sad all day too. I guess what she does with this song is reflect on the human experience of carrying on your day to day life with a broken heart, and a small hope that your “one” will realize you belong together.
Hello Fernanda
Yaw need quit that damn argueing and remember one day they won’t be there to argue with !! Now smile and dance and remind each other why you are still here
Always be thankful for time spent always
I dont even know how many years later because I'm 31 now and this song came out when I was a kid....Still crying to it like my heart broke all over again....ugh nostalgia...
WOW, THIS LADY CAN REALLY SING! Thanks. John P.
She was my first grown upish crush when this came out (I was 9, but it was a way more serious relationship than Kimberly [the pink ranger]) ❤🥰😂
Had to stop by and reminisce after starting the new JRE podcast
Bro I had the same thinking 😂😂, I married Mariah Carey after I dated Jewel.
Same haha
I just told my wife that my childhood crush on Jewel was reinvigorated after watching her on JRE. 😂
This is one of those songs that just sounds timeless. Even when it came out I thought it sounded like an old song that just has existed forever
Hey sgillman how are you doing today and how is the weather over there
Yea man
This song perfectly describes what it’s like when you lose the love of your life it still hurts
Only 4 words to say....... Still love this song
One of the most representative nineties songs from one of the nineties' most beautiful singers.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well said Aynur!
Jewel is talented and a lovely woman too.
@@leelee185 lol
Hello Aynur how are you doing today and how is the weather over there
Congratulations Jewel on winning The Masked Singer
After hearing her episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, I came to adore this woman even more. She's a true gem, and such a good soul. She personifies a good woman in body and soul. God bless you, Jewel. Your fans are all the more devote, knowing your story of struggled triumph that got you to where you are, pretty lady.
Here because judge caprio is listening at you during his chemo session. If you can let him feel better, you are precious
Yes !!! I listen to this song everyday now since I seen his post on it xo
She once wished my spiritual wife a Happy Birthday at the Casino ballroom in NH. Sally’s since committed suicide and I will forever be grateful to Jewel for saying that
Baby just hang on!!
Coming here as a recent widow, I want to say youre not alone, this song is beautiful forever just like Sally
Being a head-banger all my life, there is something about Jewel that makes me stop and listen. It's hard to explain, but I love her music.
I feel the same way!
Hey Jeff how are you doing today and how is the weather over there
i can rock out to metal, punk, rap, hip hop, country, and then get emotional with Sarah McLaughlin, Jewel, Mazzy, Evanescence, Fiona... whoever makes me feel something- nothing specifically, but if you can make me feel what you're puttin' down, then I can get into it. I can be a no good punk or a o.g. gangster or a soft sensitive little ball of mush... I think it's that way for a lot of people.
Yeah, I hear ya man. This song in particular really tugs on the ole heartstrings for me. Would love to see her do something w/slayer sometime. Lol
@@o0GrayMatters0o Good morning Greg and wow I feel so deep with what you said Grey … How are you and how is life treating you?? How is the weather over there and how long have you been a fan of me ??
Yes Jewel, you were meant for Kevin and he was meant for you.. good luck and best wishes for you both! ❤🙏❤
I nursed a guy in an iron lung, he had so many posters of Jewel. Always reminds me of him😅.

And soon you will see, you were meant for me
And I was meant for you
I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't want to talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last so long, even after you're gone
I know that you love me
And soon you will see, you were meant for me
And I was meant for you
I go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken every day
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it, when I leave the light on
I pick a book up, and turn the sheets down
And take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last so long, even after you're gone
I know that you love me
And soon I know you will see, you were meant for me
And I was meant for you
You were meant for me and I was meant for you
Thank you for posting the lyrics. It's like a lot of people didn't know what this song was about.
Meeting your soulmate only to realize after you've lost them.
Read the lyrics...
Dreams last all day. .

Thanks for posting!
So, basically, if Jewel had learned to pick up after herself, not spit on the mirror, and a modicum of responsibility with the house keys, we never would have heard this song... Put the freaking cap back on the toothpaste! Arggggg!
Jewel songs makes you feel and think about the 90s. Also makes you think of high school. Its a memory hit maker.
90's best years of my life
Yep, I was a junior in high school and working my first job when this was at peak airplay in the spring of 1997. Took a while for this song to grow on me, then you really understand what she's singing about: she's reeling from a relationship ending but she's hoping that he will eventually be the one to say, "You were meant for me." Good memories of a nice 90s song.
@@TravelinBand747 no doubt. Im about your age. In high school when we went excursions or trips, in the bus, the radio would play and those great 90s rock/ ballads etc would come on. Including this song.
Also when you in the car with friends or family this song would go on. Brings back childhood memories and all enjoyable memories too.
In 2021 you realise these 90s music are timeless classics and one of the best written songs ever in history.
Comparing that to “now” music. Sure there is great songs now. But not as good as the 90s
@@airforceone6523 The 90s were wild. Glad that I have the memories, and this music brings me back. Love it!
Some artist make a great comeback due to their music...she made the most amazing comeback for just being an INCREDIBLE human being on top of a great artist! much respect! Her bio its just what the world needs right now..
Her never broken book (paper back and audiobook read by jewel) is mind blowing.
Some things take you back to that exact moment you heard or saw them for the very first time. Jewel sitting on the bed singing, at that exact moment I'm taken back in time.
I met my husband in 1992. I was 14. We broke up for 2 years due to distance. His parents moved to Fl, I lived in MI. (Back then it was 10cents a minute for the phone, or snail mail) while we were apart i would cry to this song. It was i was meant for "Stevie"....
23 years of marriage, and we love each other as much as we did when I 1st heard this song....
We live together, work together, and play together. Theres no place in this world id rather be. And I still love this song, and still think of him when i hear it...
I consider myself blessed. I have my soul mate. There isn't any material things I'd trade my life for. We may not have all money can buy- but we truly have it all.
I'm here because I was born in 1979 and in 1995 Jewel released "You were meant for Me" I was 16 years old, my parents bought me a mustang convertible and I was drum major of my high school band. I was there when music was great and thankful I lived it and can look back at these videos not from someone's podcast but from my actual memory of the greats of the 90s music era. 😊
Hello Taylor ,how are you and how is your day going??
Good morning,how are you and how was your night?
This naturally beautiful woman is simply wonderful.
I loved this when I was younger but I haven’t heard it in years
"Dreams last for so long, even after your gone."…….. I miss my Theresa. RIP
Hey Super Fan Thanks For Supporting Jewel. We Have Noticed Your Comments Do Send Us A Message We Have Something For You
Sorry for the lost, if you don't mind let be friends or more than
This song isn’t about being heartbroken and trying to fix things with that person, it’s about moving on and knowing things will never work but still missing that person.
Ok
I didn’t realize Jewel didn’t write her own songs. What other songs of hers did you write lyrics to?
No it’s about the ones you lost my friend listen again…, Mind the lyrics they still dream of whoever is gone. Go ahead be with someone else your gunna realize what you lost, Context my love
That's how I intepreted it when it came out, and I was going through my own break-up. Cheers!
It's about the pansexual liberation of women.
Hopefully everyone in life finds a significant other.❤ I'd marry Jewel. She is just gorgeous.😊
This is her most brilliant song in my opinion.
My late husband who was a hard core rocker brought this Cd home one day. I laughed my ass off at him for listening to it.
Then I fell in love with music totally different than what we normally listen to. Those memories.
Jewel makes music even the most hardcore of rockers and metal heads can’t help but to like. Reminds me of a comedian who joked about how Prince could make even the most hardcore gangstas fanboy out like schoolgirls. Haha.
Hello Dawn
Good Morning Dawn how are you and how is your day going???
I was in my college apartment when my clock radio alarm went off to this song one morning. This song will always remind me of that day that I woke up to a perfect song. I would later discover Jewel has several more. Always highly respected this lady and her amazing music.
Thanks for your love and support. I’ll love to talk to you more better. Kindly send me a direct message @ 580 825 0492
Saw her perform back in the late 90s at Lilith Fair (SUCH a great concept/festival). She was mesmerizing. And her yodeling encore was everything! Such a clean, pure voice and beautiful, kind soul. The best time in music. Female artists were a force!
Oh my! I saw here at the Lilith fair in the late 90’s too! She was truly amazing!!!
I remember growing up, my playlist always consisted of Rock & Metal, with 80's hair bands being most common. Then, snuck in between all of that: Jewel. I made no apologies then, and I make none now. Still on my playlist all these years later.
This song lives rent free in my head.
Are there any songs that pay rent for your head?
@@TimBierbaum nickelback has to pay rent to be in my head....

@@jewelkilcher4390 lol
Me and my daughter always sing this song together and it warms my heart! ❤
I was 23 when I heard this song for the first time in 1997 working in Alaska driving a van load of customers down to the Homer spit so they can go halibut fishing and a week later I went and bought the album. I played the shit out of it. And I’m a heavy metal guy still to this day but Jewel has a true talent that I couldn’t ignore. I have turned others onto her to
Thanks for supporting my music💕😘💕
I'm so grateful and happy to check on you...,you can message me on WhatsApp and let me know more about you +1(803) 258-0114

I remember laying in my room in the middle of the night listening to this on my radio and recording it with a cassette tape when I was supposed to be asleep for school the next day. Good memories.
Ahh the Good Days 😢 :)
The mid 90’s had amazing music!
One of those songs that come on the radio and you turn it up and get ready to sing lol. 🎶💖 Great memories.
Better than anything on the radio today.
Hello Chen how are you doing today and how is the weather over there

@@dirkdiggler. haha 😂 funnyyy 🤪

Geezer
When i first heard this song i was 29 and lonely but now i am 54, i am still lonely. Listening this song gives me a reason to live my life and find my soulmate. I just have to keep looking because she is out there somewhere.
God bless you.
Self love will lead to true love.
You rock Ed!
