Thank you. thank you. Thank you. I don't know how to respond to all of your incredible comments. It was 1996. I was 13. Jewel's Album Pieces of You was quite a discovery for me - It was the first time I heard the word faggot sung (from the song "Pieces of You.") I was offended. I asked my sister to turn off the cassette tape. Only a year later that song would become a private discovery - a possibility to imagine myself as OK. Someone was singing about who I was - and it felt like she was defending me. Jewel became a means to practice the idea that, perhaps, I could be another version of myself that didn't hate myself. I look at that little boy and smile. Thanks Jewel! Oh yeah, Foolish Games - lol - that was a "gut click" of a song. get out your Kleenex?
I know this was recorded 8 yrs ago, but I just found it tonight. Transported me back to a more vulnerable place and time in a way that even the original can’t. Thanks for this.
Foolish Games is my top fave from Jewel. Its very rare to hear a male would cover this song. I like it. I also heard you singing Elton John's Candle in the Wind. You are handsome too.
Lirik You took your coat off, stood in the rain You're always crazy like that And I watched from my window Always felt I was outside looking in on you You're always the mysterious one with Dark eyes and careless hair You were fashionably sensitive But too cool to care You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say Besides some comment on the weather Well in case you failed to notice In case you failed to see This is my heart bleeding before you This is me down on my knees, and These foolish games are tearing me apart And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart You're breaking my heart You're always brilliant in the morning Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones As I clumsily strummed my guitar You'd teach me of honest things Things that were daring, things that were clean Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean I hid my soiled hands behind my back Somewhere along the line, I must have gone off track with you Excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else Somebody who gave a damn Somebody more like myself These foolish games are tearing me You're tearing me, you're tearing me apart And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart You're breaking my heart And you took your coat off, stood in the rain You're always crazy like that
You are so soooooo talented! You brought an incredible amount of feeling to this song. Your voice is phenomenal, and your paino playing is flawless. Thank you for sharing. ❤🎶🎶
Handsome and sings well and you don't change anything from the song....I just love this cover and it's great...I hate those singing with too much going on. But you..you make this song as beautiful as jewels sings it...I love it so much

No one can possibly top this. Beautifully sung and played, from the heart.
I absolutely looooooove it.
I just discovered this and you brought me to tears. I play guitar and piano and try to sing. well done sir! I can hear the pain in your voice!

You took your coat off, stood in the rain
You're always crazy like that
And I watched from my window
Always felt I was outside looking in on you
You're always the mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care
You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather
Well in case you failed to notice
In case you failed to see
This is my heart bleeding before you
This is me down on my knees, and
These foolish games are tearing me apart
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You're always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line, I must have gone off track with you
Excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself
These foolish games are tearing me
You're tearing me, you're tearing me apart
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
And you took your coat off, stood in the rain
You're always crazy like that
