An oldie but a goodie

"You were meant for me" by Jewel

Jewel causes me to wish I was a singer/songwriter/guitarist. So beautiful.

crackers and cheese said...: Yeah, looking at the imagery of the video, it could be about someone who's died. The way he's interacting with her, it's like he's just a spirit or a memory, but they're not truly interacting or connecting. She remembers him strongly and feels his presence, but he's not present.; 8:27 AM
crackers and cheese said...: I think the song is about a breakup, but the video seems to have a lot of death imagery, but sometimes breakups feel like a death. It's also not uncommon for videos to have a different story than the song. For example, Pat Benatar's Love is a Battlefield seems to be about young love, but the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9J9rTZJBmw seems to be all about her leaving her family and trying to make it on her own.

And yes, we do need to catch up! I miss talking to you. I'll try to call you tonight when I get done with clients, probably after 9.; 8:56 AM
