  • I recently started singing this song again after years, and it really is a wonderful song and I love singing it. I hope you enjoy my cover.
    This video is for my dear friend Rachel -- Happy Birthday! hug

    I love your voice, your style and your choice of music. Emotional but not dramatic. Sweet and vulnerable, but genuine. You're one of the kind, you know, the talented kind.

    Never recovered from your stunning cover of Sondheim's " I Remember " but, hey ! You did it again ! How come your whole soul escapes through your voice EACH TIME you sing ?!

    You mysterious one with dark eyes and careless hair...you stopped my heart dead in its tracks with this one. Emotive, evocative, it pulls us in until we are lost in the experience.
    You were meant to do this, Benjamin - never give up on that for a moment.

    The smooth suave rich nature of your voice gave me chills the first time I listened to this, an all time favorite song of mine. I went to your website, lots of great tunes there as well. A truly talented singer and musician you are Ben. Keep at it :).

    I love that you included the "lost verses" from the album version. I wish Jewel would sing those lines again.

    • @Pjmperez01
      @Pjmperez01 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The version rn, they dont include those verses ie Spotify and Apple Tunes. My old cd does 😭

    I liked it very much. Probably one of the best covers I've seen of Foolish Games so far, especially done by a male voice. Thanks for sharing your talent! :D. This song has been my favorite Jewel song since she first released it, and I am currently trying to learn it on the piano so I can do my own cover. I hope I do Jewel justice. You certainly did. ;).

    One of the recent, great female pop ballads. Ben, I had a listen to this year's (2014) pre-emption road live performance to see how far you've come in these four years. It seems you're happy to be a troubadour. This execution of Foolish Games is so measured and breathy it suggests you're passing an exam, rather than singing the narrative to a gut wrenching experience. If you're happy to be lauded by an audience whose praise is 'look how well he sings and plays the piano', you've succeeded. I think if you throw away those mediocre trappings, get a good singing teacher, you could surprise yourself.

    RINGKASAN
    LIRIK
    DENGARKAN
    ORANG LAIN JUGA MENELUSURI
    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
