I lost the love of my life at 27 and 28 years later i too found another love greater than the first. To have loved and been loved once is amazing. To love and be loved a second time in life is something short of a miracle....dedicated to my darling husband
The power of love, is a curious thing, make one man weak, make another sing, change your heart to a little white Dove, more than a feeling, that's the power of love. And it don't take money, don't take fame, don't need no credit card to ride this train, It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes, but if i just saved your life....that's the power of love!
4yo comment and it still ain't right. Let's put this into relatable terms...if success was a tall building then Jewel is that smokin'hot secretary on the top floor. Adele, well she gave you a valet ticket and parked your car.
I am listening to this and I still remember the very first time i heard this song like 15 years ago, and it still draw strings inside of me, her voice, and her feeling that it transmits. this song is epic!
A song of raw emotion and vulnerability, of being that much in love, without reciprocation. It embarrasses me to admit that I once was that much in love...alone, apparently.
You took your coat off and 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 :"(
I don't know why, but this song has a great effect on me.. It makes me feel moody, I always imagine a grey scenery, like it is autumn, it's raining and the atmosphere is romantic and a little dark.. ALWAYS the same image comes to my mind..
Hliana Papa ~well, it makes perfect sense to me. I mean, if you're going to be so terribly depressed you absolutely MUST have the dark, gloomy weather to go with it, right?
I was in the 7th grade when I first listened to this song, and when I was walking in the school yard during the recess, I suddenly imagined the scenery would be black and white and Jewel's song is played, so yeah I guess this song gives such feeling. By the way, I didn't see the clip back then
Your voice absolutely mesmerizes me. I literally stop everything i'm doing every time i hear you singing. Doesn't matter what song it is. Nor where i happen to be at the time. My world stops when you sing for me.
have you ever stood infront of someone you want only to connect with on a level of mutual respect and their response is they feel embarrassed? songs like this serve to remind one of these experiences? PS connecting with others is tricky, thank goodness for the melody in songs like this x0x
The voice is magnificent. This is my heart . Your foolish games tear me apart. Our thoughtless words break my heart. I absolutely love this song in every way.
Her first album pieces of you is definitely connected to my heart because what I was going through when it came out. Having just left my daughter's father getting over the heartbreak while raising a baby on my own. I adore jewel I wish she would do more music like this.
I've been with my husband for 18 years. We listened to this CD at his house on our first date. I can still remember his old apartment and the candles he lit in his kitchen.
Early JEWEL was so soulful and heartfelt, she awed me. This song breaks my heart, as it echoes the common human tragedy of armored people not quite connecting, thus missing out on the wonders of what might be termed _spiritual union._
She sings from the heart, she plays from the heart, she presents herself beautifully. Jewel i someone that I stumbled across and I'm very grateful that I didi!!!
@Angie Ball I'm sorry you're going through it right now babygirl. I'm sorry you gave your heart to someone hoping that it would be a dream and he screwed you over. My hope for you, you lovely heart, is that you find a way to give yourself peace and happiness, love and adoration and to know that eventually your love will find you.
Not sure why this song just popped up in my head-I haven’t heard it in years.. But just as melodic and smooth today as ever, and now I’m listening on repeat.. can’t explain it-I am just really feeling jewel right now!!
There was a time I thought love could endure all, conquer all. And the truth is, it cannot conquer someone who does not care enough to see the faults in their actions. Damn, I loved my narcissist and he left me a shell of myself. This song is the one song the perfectly describes what its like to love one.
I hear you. This song breaks my heart, as it echoes the common human tragedy of armored people not quite connecting, thus missing out on the wonders of what might be termed _spiritual union._
Wow!! The lyrics from this song are just so poignant and delivered with depth and emotion!! She pierced my heart at a time that it matched what is going on in my life!!
I love this man so much and I really don't think he is on the same level as me... but I don't know how to Walk away. How do you know something is not good for you but you still can't seem to stop Messing with it :( how do you know you deserve better but you still can't help but wonder why you'll never be enough 😢
This is the radio edit. The album versio has an extra line after, "You'd speak of your loved ones, as I clumsily strummed my guitar", she says, "You teached 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." They could have cut a chorus instead...what a jip!
Omg thank you I was starting to freak out cause I couldn't find that version on youtube I thought I was the only weirdo on the planet with the slowed down version which I honestly love more that this version it doesn't fit as much I find. Thanks again!
I was in love with this boy who was older than me when I was 13... Once, (before this song ever was recorded) he stood in my doorway with nothing to say besides some comment on the weather..... Here over 30 yrs later I think about him standing there and the look in his eyes... he was so darkly beautiful and I never told him....
What’s more horrible than never being loved? Thinking you haven’t and unknowingly pushing people away who did love you and realizing it too late. Then truly not being loved by anybody is horrifying! 🥺😩😫😖🥺
I always remember being in the backseat of my parents car listening to this & loving this at such a young age!! I love being a millennial!! Wish they made more music like this now!
How bad thoughtless words can hurt, how judgmental uncaring people can hurt someone that really has a heart.! I believe the true depth of this song can only be understood by few.
For years I've been listening to the song, and singing along from the perspective of jewel, herself, or at least the the character in in the song, even though the lyrics have always described so much about me. But today, was the first time I listened to what she was saying to the other person. And instead of me being the heartbroken one in her position, I realized I've been the one she's singing to all of these years. My last relationship really put that into perspective. ”You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care Then you stood in my doorway, With nothing to say Except some comment on the weather” I'm sorry. I'm on both the ADHD and autism spectrums, so while I can talk at people, I don't always do so well at talking to them about what they would want to talk about, especially when it comes to emotions, especially if you want me to do or say something without being asked to do it. It's not that I'm fashionably sensitive; it's that while I cognitively understand that certain topics have greater gravity, I don't always give them the level of care, and understanding that I should, in the moment. And as far as making that comment on the weather, that wasn't me blowing you off it was me being distracted by said weather. It's coming down like cats and dogs out there don't ya know. 😕 As far as failing to notice, failing to see, your heartbreaking in front of me, if your heart is breaking because you've decided to end things with me because you just can't take it anymore, that was your decision, not mine. I've tried to change. I've tried to understand. I'm in counseling. I'm on medication. But I am utterly overwhelmed, and what you're asking me to do is to unlearn a lifetime of bad habits and to learn entirely new ones to replace them. Cognitive behavioral therapy takes time. And some things, like my hyper fixations can be managed but they likely will never go away.
Wow that was well e planned.. I am like that also when u said about the weather . I understood thus song in no ember and have been listening since high school I'm 46 now and still Remember the first time I heard this song my best friend at the time was singing it to me she loved it so much then shortly after was listening to it repeatedly was
Jewel is a gem. Such a heavenly voice and such a great song writer.
I see what you did there..she is a gem...
Whose listening to this gem in 2023? One of the best written songs in history.

Having been loved, and loved again, only to loose everything, and now to find a love greater than the others. It only takes a lifetime.
When I'm 40 lol
Took he and I 17 years to begin our journey together.
A 90's hit. Awesome song.
Someday, I hope.

she makes her voice sultry, crying, silky, growlin.... just luv this lady for many years.
Thank you for playing this foolish games for 17 years with me. Here is to the next 17 years with you by my side.
I'm in love with someone that doesnt love me and is stringing me along. I finally truly feel and understand this song.
Yes, and all this time I thought my family loved me they never did.
The power of love, is a curious thing, make one man weak, make another sing, change your heart to a little white Dove, more than a feeling, that's the power of love.
And it don't take money, don't take fame, don't need no credit card to ride this train, It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes, but if i just saved your life....that's the power of love!
I understand exactly what you’re going through. She is still stringing me along. I try to stop caring it’s impossible.
Me too sis
Learn and take the positive moments with you but move on. There is someone who wants to love and appreciate you for who you are
Jewel and Adele can capture feelings with words, music and their voice. It's really something perfect. Seconds in this infinite time
Adele 🤮
Adele sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. she is not even close to the same caliber as Jewel
4yo comment and it still ain't right. Let's put this into relatable terms...if success was a tall building then Jewel is that smokin'hot secretary on the top floor. Adele, well she gave you a valet ticket and parked your car.
There is one more female who has the same talent. She is Fiona Apple.

"This is my heart bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees" ...So Raw and Powerful
This song never gets old and always relevant throughout the years and stages and relationships of my life! Perfect lyrics! Timeless
These foolish games are tearing me apart,
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart...
the best part ...i love this song, these verses, the feeling, the pain in every word...it hurts, it really hurts
I really miss the 90s. The music was sooo great.

Any good ideas on some good oldies like late 90s?

"You were always the mysterious one, with dark eyes and careless hair." Thanks to you and your foolish games my heart is broken.
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart...
Those lyrics are so relatable. Thanks Jewel for this beautiful song!
Wow, stunning. Legendary. What a voice.
I'm fighting Breast Cancer and I feel like this cuz it breaking my heart. Don't let a man make you feel this way. It's on him losing you.
A song of raw emotion and vulnerability, of being that much in love, without reciprocation. It embarrasses me to admit that I once was that much in love...alone, apparently.
You took your coat off and 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 :"(
this is one of the best songs ever written
Yes
@@juliareeves9860 actual cool lyrics, yup.
I love her voice so much. She's always sings with such emotion, it just always moves me so much. :)
For those wondering, the other musicians are guitarist Tim Pierce, bassist Craig Young, drummer Omar Hakim, and pianist Robbie Buchanan.
Michael Glickman
Thank you to these guys for helping make me feel... which is what we were born to do.
The emotions she puts on this song is soooo amazing. One of my fave female artist in the 90's..until now.
I don't know why, but this song has a great effect on me.. It makes me feel moody, I always imagine a grey scenery, like it is autumn, it's raining and the atmosphere is romantic and a little dark.. ALWAYS the same image comes to my mind..
ughh 😓

its a horrible feeling the moment you realize you've never been loved

I know what you mean
The ultimate betrayal. I have no words for the pain.....being used, chewed on and spit out again..
I wish I was loved again....
Add me to the club
I've been with my husband for 18 years. We listened to this CD at his house on our first date. I can still remember his old apartment and the candles he lit in his kitchen.
I love the feelings Jewel puts in her songs.
there is some melodies that you can't forget i love this track...from my deep of my heart
1998. Smoky bars and old friends. Grunge.
one of the saddest songs I have ever heard
Been about 10 years sense i have herd this... Still makes me cry. Sooo beautiful.
Early JEWEL was so soulful and heartfelt, she awed me. This song breaks my heart, as it echoes the common human tragedy of armored people not quite connecting, thus missing out on the wonders of what might be termed _spiritual union._
99% of the Beautiful songs out there. Have a Piano in it.. Someway some how. Look back.. You'll notice.
She sings from the heart, she plays from the heart, she presents herself beautifully. Jewel i someone that I stumbled across and I'm very grateful that I didi!!!
16 years later.. the lyrics finally hit, as an adult..smh
Agrees....
Exactly
@Angie Ball I'm sorry you're going through it right now babygirl. I'm sorry you gave your heart to someone hoping that it would be a dream and he screwed you over. My hope for you, you lovely heart, is that you find a way to give yourself peace and happiness, love and adoration and to know that eventually your love will find you.
@Angie Ball I can hear that in you! We got thisss
@Jason Montague lol. Well.. still playing foolish games.. more of an adult now.
Not sure why this song just popped up in my head-I haven’t heard it in years.. But just as melodic and smooth today as ever, and now I’m listening on repeat.. can’t explain it-I am just really feeling jewel right now!!
Who’s listening in 2024? (7-15-24) I’m broken hearted and this song hits just right 😔
Listening 2024Dec 😢
The best song ever of unrequited love. Jewel paints such a vivid picture with her words, her song. She's magical.
There was a time I thought love could endure all, conquer all. And the truth is, it cannot conquer someone who does not care enough to see the faults in their actions. Damn, I loved my narcissist and he left me a shell of myself. This song is the one song the perfectly describes what its like to love one.

Another old favorite - I miss Jewel's original music...
Don't you hate how the music industry tears the soul out of the music?
2024 still listening foolish games
Wow!! The lyrics from this song are just so poignant and delivered with depth and emotion!! She pierced my heart at a time that it matched what is going on in my life!!
Thank you for the jewel- stay her forever... Loved it just the right moment for New Loving Husband !!!❤️🌹😘
i write and sing like this. i finally think i found a guy who appreciates me. thank you!!!!!
NICE SONG.. O.M.G...THIS SONG IS FULL SENTIMENTAL....I LISTEN IT WHEN I'M THINKING ABOUT SOMEONE SPECIAL.
i love this song so much and i used to love singing to it. it's my all time favorite :)
Gracias a esta hermosa canción llevo por nombre Jewel... Al igual que la talentosa artista que la interpreta! 💜
Nothing hurts more than a broken heart 💔
Chills... Still... After all these years 💟💟
I remember when this song came out. I was 10 years old. I had it memorized, and literally recited it in my sleep several times.
Jewel needs to come back and save music.
agree
Dsmjessica07 110% percent agree to that I would have to make it to her concert I wish she would have just one more just one ugh she's too great!!!!
There's good new music, just gotta find it... like- Red Roses Realm "1000 Scars"
Question is why did so many radio stations stop playing the majority of her songs? I just don't understand.
@@etxsports5836 True. But I would be surprised to find more then 10 songs out there that are worth listening to.
Very haunting song....I can see through her voice the pain she went through. I wonder how hard it was for her to sing about the man who broke her.
What a melody! Awesome.
I love this man so much and I really don't think he is on the same level as me... but I don't know how to Walk away.

What makes jewel special. Is she quit beautiful. Good at writing songs. And her genuine wickedness. And some kind of darkness
Pure poetry. Love this since the 90s.
She encompasses my feelings so well. How does she do that
i love this number so, i've heard it like then thousand times an i just can't get enough of it
❤️ Felt this way more than I can count why I gave up threw in the towel gave up been single by myself for over 2 years now and how I found peace
