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.
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.
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.
This song instantly opens a portal to 1995. I wasn't even old enough to know heartbreak; but Jewel described it for me. This song, for me, is one of the most beautifully melancholy songs I have ever heard. "Same old story not much to say; hearts are broken everyday"
Only been a fan since quarter way though Rogan and listening to this song now...back to Joe now...shine on and shaloha from Jeffrey's Bay ... tip of Africa. Ndawu Yama pupho... Place of Dreams .... for very good reasons too.
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.
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
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.
Yessss!! Was a young teenager when released and always liked the song but never really heard the descriptiveness . Until welll... life happened 🥹 44 now. Exact feelings and motions of losing someone you truly truly love. I know she had already been through a lot at a young age but impressive to be able to relay what she did in the song because it is hard to explain or make someone understand. Although is my belief her co writer was the one who had been through it
I just lost my husband and our 6 year old daughter a couple months ago. I just heard this on the radio in WV. It hits differently than it did to me before when I was younger. Things mean the same but different at the same time.
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.
I have listened to this song since it came out. I’m 53 now. Took me this long to work through my childhood. This song is my mom. I gotta sing both parts, cause she would let me stand outside and water the lawn. LOL she told me if I didn’t forgive her, obey her, my life was over. Adopting me was all a mistake, I was a product of my DNA, she’d say, just look at her co dependent ways…. This song makes me smile now. We all endure pain and trauma, never stop fighting. The way you feel, TRUST It. Never lose yourself.
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 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
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. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
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
Hell yeah! Time for all of us to rediscover happiness!! I’m 27, on the same mission. The world is full of so much hatred, it is exhausting!! Gotta take care of yourself, and surround yourself with people who don’t drain your energy and your light💚 You will find it! 🥰
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
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 .
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.
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
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 !! ♥️🥺
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.”

Absolutely loved her voice. Today she says she barely knew how to sing and she has changed a lot of the delivery of her older songs. But I loved the way, the simple, easy, intimate way, she sang.
My sister loved Jewel's music as a Teenager tomorrow would've been her 38th birthday so in memory of her I'm listening to one of her favorite songs Happy Heavenly Birthday sis love you now and forever.
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.
The 90’s-early 2000’s were such a special and unique time to grow up. It was exciting, especially witnessing technology expand and get better and better. Everything was sooooo cool to us. Now children have iPhones and I pads and constantly just want the new one. I can’t imagine being born any other time. Life feels quite predictable rn. During the 90’s so many things were changing and giving us hope and excitement. People are almost just numb to things now. Nothing is really changing.
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 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?
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.
@@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.
I always loved Jewel, after listening to her on Rogan it resparked my love. I remember playing her cds on repeat in my Plymouth Sundance. What a profound life she has. I listen to podcasts all day/everyday, By far the most interesting one I've ever heard. I could listen to her stories for hours. seems like she just scratched the surface. Her modesty is so refreshing. Such a great break from current events.
Being transparent. I've heard this song many times. Never seen this video or even knew who sang this song. I will say. What a beautiful voice. Also my reason for stumbling onto this song today. I just saw her on The Joe Rogan Experience. I heard her story. Dang it, how could you not be drawn to someone So sweet and sincere. Very glad and Blessed I listened to that particular J.R.E. podcast. Jewels dropping jewels ❗💜👏
@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.
Summer ‘97 I had just been through a bad break up and listened to this song non-stop, convinced I would never find anyone else. A few months later, I met the guy who would become my husband, and we’re still going strong today!
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.
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.
Her voice was once described as “elastic” ! When I hear certain songs I understand that. She can sing/do heartfelt, trauma and hope in one sentence! Amazing talent!
At 4 years old, my mom would sing this to me before I would go to bed and when I woke up in the morning. I never understood how much it meant to both of our lives until I became an adult and realized this song was always about being a family when my father didn't want to be. It's nice to see this song meant quite a bit to others too.
When i hear this song i think of you..your heartache and loneliness and compassion..and i know i can offer my heart..but first attraction started it like a thunder..lol that beautiful smile capture me...its energy its joy..its a jewel its a treasure..its a commitment...no bs..hehehe
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.
First heard this song over twenty years ago in the halls of my junior high school. A friend sang it with a voice I've never forgotten. Loved Jewel's music ever since.
I remember listening to this album while my mom drove us to and from school in our crappy little Plymouth. I loved it then as a little boy and I love it now as a father and husband myself. These days, I listen to it driving home to visit my mom on the weekend. Thank you for the memories and music, Jewel.
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.😊
I saw Jewel, performing live, and solo at the Family Arena in Saint Charles Missouri. I was in the front row, maybe 25 feet away. We were treated to a wonderful, personal, up close, beautiful performance. It was just her sitting on a tall chair with her guitar and microphone in the spotlight of a darkened stage. She sounded just like her recordings. She was so sweet and told jokes and stories. I was mesmerized! It was like having her in my living room singing just for me. It was a highlight in my life of music. A memory that I will never forget. ♥ Thank you Jewel!
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
The guy in the video is Steve Poltz. I believe they briefly dated but remain friends still. His music is really good. Saw him live a few times too. One Left Shoe is a great album! Jewel even sings on a few songs. I just turned 50 and can really appreciate this debut album. Music for me is about feeling than lyrics and this always brought hurtful memories. It took me to this age to be able to feel good about myself and to be able to look back on how far I’ve came. Married now with six beautiful rescue & special needs cats. Life is really about the small things.
Since the beginning of TH-cam I’ve watched the low quality video of this classic over and over again. Seeing this masterpiece in HD is like experiencing it again for the first time.
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. 😊
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.
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 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.
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
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.
I was 7 years old when this song came out, my mom was 32. I am 36 now and am honestly in tears because I don't know how I feel about that. Just an edit to put some context in, I remember listening to this song a ton in the car with her when I was a kid.
I remember buying "Pieces Of You" and listening to every song over and over again...then learning how to play many of them on acoustic guitar and trying my best to sing...my memories of unrequited love and loss don't compare to many others who have commented here - but I am with you all, in heart and spirit and love. Thank you Jewel!
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...
Jewels co writer of this song & the male in this video is Steve Poltz. A young 21 year old Steve Poltz was the guitar player/singer at my husband & my wedding in 1980! It’s been so great to see him evolve & what he & Jewel created. ❤️❤️❤️
@@jewelkilcher5058 Wow, 'Jewel'. Only 19 subs and ZERO content on your channel. IMPOSTER. Stop trying to prey on Jewel's fans, SCAMMER. Seriously, folks. This SCAMMER shows up on every song. Don't fall for it! Amazing English. LMFAO!!! And FANTASTIC, totally-not-a-foreign-SCAMMER punctuation.
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!
Jewel Kilcher , I have been loving your voice for some many, many years ! From the first time I heard it, I was immediately hooked ! I just had to go out and buy your C.D. ( Pieces of You ) Now I get to listen to you sing whenever I want ! Certainly your voice is ONE OF A KIND ! 🥰
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.
The imagery created from her words is just incredible. This song was so important to me with what I was going through in 1995 and I still love it today. Thank you Jewel for this masterpiece. It’s still a hell of a vibe❤
Still one of my all time favorite female voices! I love her strength to stand up to the big names in that biz telling her she needed to fix things about her beautiful appearance (as if there was something wrong with it)! She is awesome and gorgeous!!! Classic and timeless this one is!!!❤
You have no idea how much this song means to me... after all these years, i'm pretty sure it has a deep meaning for every person who has listened to it... Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us. Hugs from Peru from your eternal fan :-D
Fun fact Jewel didn't plan on playing music she taught herself a few lines on the guitar started as a street artists for change and set off to become the star she was hitchiking on the buses etc.. I love her I'm glad she stumbled onto music her gift, her talent. The endless eyes she's made feel better through the tears that needed to fall. ❤she is a Jewel.
symbolism of her "shedding her skin" is incredible. Breakups, for those who have had them, feel like this. Like you are shedding your skin in order to move on. Moves me every time.
This song perfectly describes what it’s like when you lose the love of your life it still hurts
Current status 😢
You're so young
Losing my Debbie hurt so much...
I lost mine 4.5yrs ago he rents space in my head ever day I often wander when does it stop
Everyone knows cigarettes are the worst way to die yet she died 💔 and I still don't stop 😢
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.
💞💕
Sounds like the two of you are blessed.

Thank you so much for your love and support. How long have you been a fan?
The fact that her enchanted vocals softly let us know so when we were heart broken we knew the way to hear her and know we ain’t alone in our despair
@@OliverAnthonymusic001I’ve been a fan since I heard your testimony of heartbreak thank you for showing us the way through
Only been a fan since quarter way though Rogan and listening to this song now...back to Joe now...shine on and shaloha from Jeffrey's Bay ... tip of Africa. Ndawu Yama pupho... Place of Dreams .... for very good reasons too.
Natural everything. Voice, lips, teeth. I miss those days.😢
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 first heard jewel in
my 20's... I'm now 51 and oh my God... This woman sparks all kinds of goodness within me..
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 ❤❤
This is one of THOSE songs. It will stand the test of time. Beautiful song. Beautiful lady❤
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.

She singing about being alpha widowed, we just didn't know it at the time
@@ColeMinor5455 Jesus. That's awful. I'm sorry to hear that. Stay strong.
I grew up with this as well as Alanis Morissette, Sheryl crow, Joan Osborne, No Doubt..had no idea of her story. Thanks JRE.

Yeah this is such an intense and sad song, and can feel very heavy at times. Still really beautiful
☺️🍀
I have listened to this song since it came out. I’m 53 now. Took me this long to work through my childhood.
This song is my mom. I gotta sing both parts, cause she would let me stand outside and water the lawn. LOL she told me if I didn’t forgive her, obey her, my life was over. Adopting me was all a mistake, I was a product of my DNA, she’d say, just look at her co dependent ways….
This song makes me smile now. We all endure pain and trauma, never stop fighting. The way you feel, TRUST It. Never lose yourself.
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 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?
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
Hell yeah! Time for all of us to rediscover happiness!! I’m 27, on the same mission. The world is full of so much hatred, it is exhausting!! Gotta take care of yourself, and surround yourself with people who don’t drain your energy and your light💚 You will find it! 🥰
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’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.
Is the exact feeling💔
or just finished a long shift at work...
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
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 ❤
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!
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

So true!
I didn’t feel that with this one, but I did when Kevin from the office sang it
Absolutely loved her voice. Today she says she barely knew how to sing and she has changed a lot of the delivery of her older songs. But I loved the way, the simple, easy, intimate way, she sang.
The most appropriate artist name ever.
She truly is a jewel.
Back when love was more important than career.
So true !
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 sorry for your loss dear
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!🙏🙏🙏
Bless you and your Love for your wife!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your wife is watching you from up above. ❤
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☺️
It was my first time too. Anchorage AK. I was about 10!
Mine too.
I was 14.
My mom took me and my best friend.

Playing this song when it rains gives me such a nostalgic 90s vibe for a brief moment
It’s shit
Reminds me of Chris Rock MTV music video awards 1997
Maybe your 90s nostalgia vibe is just a fag
My ex played guitar and sang this song all the time. She did a beautiful job of it too. Jewel is an amazing singer songwriter.
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!
The 90’s-early 2000’s were such a special and unique time to grow up. It was exciting, especially witnessing technology expand and get better and better. Everything was sooooo cool to us. Now children have iPhones and I pads and constantly just want the new one. I can’t imagine being born any other time. Life feels quite predictable rn. During the 90’s so many things were changing and giving us hope and excitement. People are almost just numb to things now. Nothing is really changing.
The music started in the 60’s and ended in the 90’s. We finally took a breather in the 2000’s, but then we forgot to pick back up.
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
"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
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.

Awesome! 😊
Keep up, enjoy!
And I do too. So easy same ol 3 chords-haha
But we need some Tori to guitar
It's crazy how JRE podcasts get so emotional sometimes. And to think it was with Jewel.
Me and my daughter always sing this song together and it warms my heart! ❤
I'm loving seeing others who are here after her JRE interview. She's such a beautiful and authentic soul.
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

Love that
Hard to believe that album was released 25 years ago. Wow.
Seems like I just got it yesterday!

This song deserves a billion views.
I always loved Jewel, after listening to her on Rogan it resparked my love.
I remember playing her cds on repeat in my Plymouth Sundance.
What a profound life she has. I listen to podcasts all day/everyday, By far the most interesting one I've ever heard. I could listen to her stories for hours. seems like she just scratched the surface. Her modesty is so refreshing.
Such a great break from current events.
Being transparent. I've heard this song many times. Never seen this video or even knew who sang this song.
I will say. What a beautiful voice. Also my reason for stumbling onto this song today. I just saw her on The Joe Rogan Experience. I heard her story. Dang it, how could you not be drawn to someone So sweet and sincere. Very glad and Blessed I listened to that particular J.R.E. podcast.
Jewels dropping jewels ❗💜👏
Hello Jose ,how are you and how is your day going???
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.
Yes Jewel, you were meant for Kevin and he was meant for you.. good luck and best wishes for you both! ❤🙏❤
Summer ‘97 I had just been through a bad break up and listened to this song non-stop, convinced I would never find anyone else. A few months later, I met the guy who would become my husband, and we’re still going strong today!
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.
💔🥹❤️
Thank you Joe I forgot how amazing her voice is so different.
I woke up this morning missing my mom!!! Her name is Jewel!!! ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
Her voice was once described as “elastic” ! When I hear certain songs I understand that. She can sing/do heartfelt, trauma and hope in one sentence! Amazing talent!
Definitely. I'm over here in tears and yet hoping that one day someone will do me right all at the same time
And she can yodel! Saw her live many years ago, and she showed off for us. Lucky us!
At 4 years old, my mom would sing this to me before I would go to bed and when I woke up in the morning. I never understood how much it meant to both of our lives until I became an adult and realized this song was always about being a family when my father didn't want to be. It's nice to see this song meant quite a bit to others too.
I sing this song to my 18 month old. ❤️
When i hear this song i think of you..your heartache and loneliness and compassion..and i know i can offer my heart..but first attraction started it like a thunder..lol that beautiful smile capture me...its energy its joy..its a jewel its a treasure..its a commitment...no bs..hehehe
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.
First heard this song over twenty years ago in the halls of my junior high school. A friend sang it with a voice I've never forgotten. Loved Jewel's music ever since.
I remember listening to this album while my mom drove us to and from school in our crappy little Plymouth. I loved it then as a little boy and I love it now as a father and husband myself. These days, I listen to it driving home to visit my mom on the weekend. Thank you for the memories and music, Jewel.
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.😊
Sooo truee
I saw Jewel, performing live, and solo at the Family Arena in Saint Charles Missouri. I was in the front row, maybe 25 feet away. We were treated to a wonderful, personal, up close, beautiful performance. It was just her sitting on a tall chair with her guitar and microphone in the spotlight of a darkened stage. She sounded just like her recordings. She was so sweet and told jokes and stories. I was mesmerized! It was like having her in my living room singing just for me. It was a highlight in my life of music. A memory that I will never forget. ♥ Thank you Jewel!
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
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.

❤
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!
The guy in the video is Steve Poltz. I believe they briefly dated but remain friends still. His music is really good. Saw him live a few times too. One Left Shoe is a great album! Jewel even sings on a few songs. I just turned 50 and can really appreciate this debut album. Music for me is about feeling than lyrics and this always brought hurtful memories. It took me to this age to be able to feel good about myself and to be able to look back on how far I’ve came. Married now with six beautiful rescue & special needs cats. Life is really about the small things.
Since the beginning of TH-cam I’ve watched the low quality video of this classic over and over again. Seeing this masterpiece in HD is like experiencing it again for the first time.
Me too... it took them so long to put this out
Hello Christopher,how are you and how is your day going??
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?
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
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.
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
I can listen to this song over and over and never get tired of it.
❤❤❤
Me too
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.
Only 4 words to say....... Still love this song
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

Woke up with this song stuck in my head, haven’t heard it in probably 20 years. ❤️🩹
Jewel is magical. Period
This song used to come on the radio so much back in elementary and never got old. One of the only few artists who sing with pure passion
This song touches all of us in a special way ~ thank you Jewel for the way you’ve touched us and will forever ♥️
Hello Deborah
I was 7 years old when this song came out, my mom was 32. I am 36 now and am honestly in tears because I don't know how I feel about that.
Just an edit to put some context in, I remember listening to this song a ton in the car with her when I was a kid.
Thanks JRE for bringing this back.
I remember buying "Pieces Of You" and listening to every song over and over again...then learning how to play many of them on acoustic guitar and trying my best to sing...my memories of unrequited love and loss don't compare to many others who have commented here - but I am with you all, in heart and spirit and love.
Thank you Jewel!
She put on a great show at Rockfest 97 in Ft Worth, Texas. I'm glad I got to see her perform live.
L
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...
Jewels co writer of this song & the male in this video is Steve Poltz. A young 21 year old Steve Poltz was the guitar player/singer at my husband & my wedding in 1980! It’s been so great to see him evolve & what he & Jewel created. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 33 now but I grew up on music like this and the older I get the more I appreciate real music like this.

@@jewelkilcher5058 Wow, 'Jewel'. Only 19 subs and ZERO content on your channel. IMPOSTER. Stop trying to prey on Jewel's fans, SCAMMER. Seriously, folks. This SCAMMER shows up on every song. Don't fall for it! Amazing English. LMFAO!!! And FANTASTIC, totally-not-a-foreign-SCAMMER punctuation.
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!!!
The way this song taps into the feeling of being abandoned is incredible.

Jewel Kilcher , I have been loving your voice for some many, many years ! From the first time I heard it, I was immediately hooked ! I just had to go out and buy your C.D. ( Pieces of You ) Now I get to listen to you sing whenever I want ! Certainly your voice is ONE OF A KIND ! 🥰
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.
So sorry for your loss 😢
I'm sorry for your loss, but what a blessing to have such a wonderful role model!

The imagery created from her words is just incredible. This song was so important to me with what I was going through in 1995 and I still love it today. Thank you Jewel for this masterpiece. It’s still a hell of a vibe❤
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
Jewel’s song and voice has a different connection with me that no matter what, I keep on searching and listening to her. 😊
I love how the hope of the real love is expressed in the refrain of this song which makes me keep coming back to it.
Still one of my all time favorite female voices! I love her strength to stand up to the big names in that biz telling her she needed to fix things about her beautiful appearance (as if there was something wrong with it)! She is awesome and gorgeous!!! Classic and timeless this one is!!!❤
You have no idea how much this song means to me... after all these years, i'm pretty sure it has a deep meaning for every person who has listened to it... Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us. Hugs from Peru from your eternal fan :-D
We where meant for one another
@JD Reed thank you send my love
@JD Reed hello may i ask who this is please

I wish i new who tis is
WOW, THIS LADY CAN REALLY SING! Thanks. John P.
Rediscovered this song after many years. Her voice, the inflections. Just perfection. Cannot stop listening to it.
Fun fact Jewel didn't plan on playing music she taught herself a few lines on the guitar started as a street artists for change and set off to become the star she was hitchiking on the buses etc.. I love her I'm glad she stumbled onto music her gift, her talent. The endless eyes she's made feel better through the tears that needed to fall. ❤she is a Jewel.
symbolism of her "shedding her skin" is incredible. Breakups, for those who have had them, feel like this. Like you are shedding your skin in order to move on. Moves me every time.
Good Morning Chole Rodgers how are you and how is your day going???
This is her most brilliant song in my opinion.
