Jewel - You Were Meant For Me Official Music Video

[NanoEmpyrean]

i like her concert voice better.

This is too vibrato-y for me, but if the rest of the world had the same taste: Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Mariah, and Adele wouldn't have the following they do.

So, I guess it works for broad appeal.

[obliviousbychoice]

Real talent, yet even better on first version released on pieces of you cd.. More soul on that version in my opinion.

[xofusedxo]

i gave my exhusband of 17yrs a cassette tape yes im that old but he still has it along with my eric claptin tape how ironic

[dwcyberforce]

I swear i've heard this tune in a more modern song? anyone know what im talking about? and if so what song? thanks :) x

[HxCJohnny02]

such a beautiful song

[19BARD85]

lol VHS

[SupernaturalLover67]

love singing this song..... so simple yet so real and genuine and full of feeling.

[jamescruz77]

One of my favorites, I really miss 90's, such an amazing song... you were meant for me Tim!

[daddyV88]

wow i remember listening to this with my gf in high school but i think this is the first time ive actually seen the video

[ashalily5]

Can we stop with the "still listening in 2012" comments...they are so typical and annoying. 

[LibertyInProgressNOW]

I've loved this song since I was a little kid... and thought Jewel was the hottest girl ever. She's still pretty cute these days.

[Jhd18251]

I went to Itunes, and I tried to look for this song. it has the live version but I prefer this version better.. I couldn't find anything else.. Any ideas?

[Evilvengeance666]

I'm actually a fan of this, even though I'm a metalhead.

[toprob20]

@Evilvengeance666 here here! me 2 bro

[Evilvengeance666]

@toprob20 COOL!

[msinla1]

miss this song

[brooklyntheredone]

oh the 90's where have you gone...

[imtessss]

good ole' scrantonicity.

[vxtc350]

if u like jewel checkout a girl named...... CANDY Q Cause of you...... She writes and performs all of her own stuff too.............Unrecognised music from the heart.

[Tianepre]

Eu procurava a anos este video, esta musica, e enfim encontrei....Meu deus gritei feito louca.

[tita19allcrazyy]

People need to grow the hell up just a little bit faster!

[tita19allcrazyy]

Never take in what can hurt you and never put out what can hurt others!!

[DeyTuckOurJobs]

WOW... been looking for this for I don't know how long, Its been 16 years since the last time I heard this cant believe I was only 7 at the time lol. Thank you....

[demilynn29]

Such a beautiful song... It reminds me of someone..

[Lanessa4eva]

Aww this song brings back memories when I was 13 and I was in love with an older guy I couldn't be with because I was to young. Later I realized he was not worth my tears. But this song always brings me back to a lesson I learned.

[BrazilSensation]

Grande musica e grande cantora ! linda e talentosa ! Musica lindissima !

[tanuvasa]

Hmmm No Vevo?? about time :)

[celtichorsetrainer]

This song takes me back to childhood when I used to suck helium out of balloons.

[SaraLynnSki]

Jewel is one of the corner stones of my childhood. I listen to her when i was young and find me still singing her stuff in the show long after i lost all her Cd's You just cant fake raw emotion like this.

[MsDeffoMik]

Seriously gonna cry right now. It's hard to watch these music vids just because.....idk, it's all crap now and this was the GOOD stuff. :( *tear*.... Does anybody feel the same way?

[Rei00000]

@MsDeffoMik

not alone

[brandyengl]

viggo mortensen

[Gregg302]

like if you're listening to this in 2012!!

[Alicia5D]

@Gregg302 and all her other beautiful tunes too :D

[Arkimedes999]

@Gregg302 this version sucks =[

i had the cd wen it first came out and the lyrics are different

[TheHomelessNinja]

@Gregg302 shut up

[JayT851]

This song sounds a lot like The needle and the damage done by Neil Young

[littleshrimp14]

it seems like every woman in the world knows this song cause when i went to the hospital this song came on and every nurse and my mom and the patiants and every body else started singing along to this lol

[MsErin420]

yep... i did too lol

she has always been one of my favs and now my girls love her too

[ExodusFaces]

Is there anyone else who went years thinking she said "I pick up a cup" instead of "I pick a book up"???

[romaniandan]

@ExodusFaces I just found out when when i read your post...i replayed it a few times and i could swear she says CUP.

[denniandrew2002]

Takes me back to Junior High. Good song!

[JayT851]

@denniandrew2002 I was in 4th grade

[Floptart]

.....Woody Harrelson???

[666dreamcaster]

that is shit when ppl lip sink

[666dreamcaster]

lip sinking this song

[faithsumner]

Beautiful. Like a Jewel. ;-)

[gnrtop]

@DDDB13 also i love the way she works her voice in her songs, all the tremelo and twisting she does, it's awesome

[Serena2009ification]

<3 Jewel

<3 her music

<3 her videos

[prettynoose8497]

Wow she is so young here! I'm glad she does country music now; mtv would have wasted her talents on pop and rappers.

[Serena2009ification]

@prettynoose8497

I think her pop is a little bit better than her country, but then, I am more of a pop fan anyway. I also was a big Jewel fan from the get-go, though, so maybe I'm a little bit biased. It was also my first slow dance asa teenager, too, so it brings back good memories.

Anyway, IIRC, this was the song/video which really made her famous. Good stufff.

[idgafay93]

Totally in love with this song . :)

[Serena2009ification]

@idgafay93

Me, too. :) And this video is great cuz of all of the blue. It's so gorgeous and creative!

[BlackTTC6]

This takes me back to the first time I heard it in high school. 1996 I was a sophomore. Good times and even better music back then

[TheScarebear111]

First song I knew all the words to <3

[Serena2009ification]

@TheScarebear111

First pop song I knew all the words to :) And 6 months later, my first slow dance (which really meant a lot)

[rockerboi18]

This song takes me back to my childhood I grew as a hardcore rocker (hence the screen name) but I am not afraid to say I love this song and most of jewel's songs 'cept those songs she did when she was doing all those dance/club songs

[Serena2009ification]

@rockerboi18

Yeah, those don't really stick out in my memory as much. IMO, she's at her best when she sings ballads. Her lullaby album is pretty good, too.

[KeepRockin55]

I'm a dude but this is a good song... it comes from the heart. When someone comes from the heart, even if I don't "like" what they're saying or doing, I can respect it!

[jacob4x]

baby we were meant for each other

[Qjemuse]

good ol' 90s

and no. they do not make them like this anymore.

[paulkjames]

oh hell what can i say, you're so hot.

fuck the reingdeer i wanna fuck you

you go girl the angel says ok

[Srastuckk]

I LOVE YOU JEWEL

[Merfinize]

No...coz i love this song too

[leach987654321]

Nostalgia is a bitch!

[NicholasWaits94]

Kevin Malone sent me here xD

[FRTM13]

nice

[PEIGirl52]

I love this song. It is possible to feel this way even when you are married and living with person. It is too little too late, you know who you are!!

[jadetanchannel]

great songs like this never die <3

[TheSprinkleCupcake]

The Office <3

[milkinmychocolate]

I just have to say that I love this song SOOOO much!!! :-) I first heard the song when I was eight years old on my radio in Tennesse!!! It brings me back to the 90's and it has such a country feel to it, if you know what I mean?? The music depicts such beautiful country scenery!!! Also, I just love how simplistic this song is and yet it's SO beatiful!!! I love to play this song and think of my husband King Michael:-)

[Pammigal]

1996 was a year of good music.

[bbags007]

When me and my mates are all drunk in the garage and its about to pack up and go eat we always put this on and just chill and buzz out. Best way too end a night of piss.

[NatalieGelman]

love this song!! All of Jewels first album is amazing :)

[xxxChubyxxx]

Great song from my past, baby we where meant for eachother, I love you...

[charlesmarlowe27]

That was a great blast to the past! love this one

[NotCreative1000]

Video was weird, she's a bad lip sinker, but she's really pretty and the best singer in the world. Plus this song is amazing.

[bnormalsauce]

@NotCreative1000 It's not her lip syncing, it's the quality of the video. The audio/video aren't well matched.

[mxb1708]

Always liked this song but when I found the love of my life in March of 2010, I never imagined that I would be living it. I love and miss you Karen Carr from Sunrise Florida. You will always be my Mama Bear!

[Christine29LuvMe]

Where can I get this version of the song? The one on iTunes and the ones on Frostwire are different versions that I don't like nearly as much...

[1danielday]

Beautiful, well written song.

[dancham32959]

....

[AGDcrazyikhjhit]

this 1 of my fav songs i can sing to backwords and forwards xD

[jgoth08]

Is it weird I'm a metal head who loves this song?

[LedWilde]

@jgoth08 No! Not weird! It shows you have a broad taste of music and not stuck liking just one genre. If music is good, it's good. No matter what style it is.

[1991ncw]

@LedWilde all music is good



[1991ncw]

@jgoth08 cannibal corpse, dethklok, pantera, jewel, decapitated, dying fetus.... wait what?

lol

[jgoth08]

@1991ncw

xD weird combination lol haha

[FaceNibbler]

@jgoth08 LOL me too!

[Gemquist]

@jgoth08 Good music is good music. Only a closed minded person solidly hates an entire genre due to fanaticism for one.

So, no, not weird at all man.

[gnrtop]

@jgoth08 first off, awesome that you like this and metal haha

i'm with you on this, i'm a power/death metal kinda guy (black, doom, sludge, oriental. you name it i love it!) but this song is (and her others) are awesome. almost everything from the 90's is awesome!

[DDDB13]

@gnrtop

I'm a metal fan, but love this, too.

I guess my mudvayne, static-x, and even coal chamber, have been categorized as 'nu metal'

My favorite Jewel song is Hands, I think. Like her even though I'm not relgious..

[Serena2009ification]

@DDDB13

That's my favorite Jewel song, too, and the coolest thing is that she wrote it when she was homeless and trying to change her life for the better. It helped get her through the rough times, and I think it is really inspiring. :)

[gnrtop]

@DDDB13 i grew up listening to this as a kid on kiss fm before it turned to crap lol. you have an awesome taste in music. i have all of static-x and some coal chamber. whoever says they are 'nu-metal' are idiots, i went to a sam ash and the staff posted metallica as 'nu-metal' because they used a baritone guitar...<-- good example huh

THANK YOU! i just checked out Hands, i never knew the name of that song. i checked it out after reading your response, my favorite to :)

[Beefyporkchops]

@jgoth08 I know what you mean. Don't worry, I won't judge you.

[ExodusFaces]

@jgoth08 Don't feel bad... I'm a Baltimore rapper... Strange indeed

[JayT851]

@jgoth08 Same here lol

[starlitbright]

perfection...I am going to cover this but would only hope to do her justice

[luckydiamonds5]

@ support4mysingers good point thanks

[GustavoRPSC]

Jeje me hizo acordar de los tiempos del colegio, de cuando MTV valia la pena. Ya debe estar cucha

[jacktsang05]

shes hot and her voice is amazing!

[shinkoro71]

I like her voice.

[luckydiamonds5]

What the fuck does coffee breakfast and all that shit has to do with heart break..just say ur heart is broken this song is kinda confusing????

[newginafets2009]

@luckydiamonds5 come on! song is like a movie. there's somethin to tell,like a story.She just remembers before when he was still with her.probably they had breakfast and coffee together,so when she had breakfast herself,it reminds her of him. geez.

[Support4MySingers]

@luckydiamonds5 She's talking about everything we do in our daily lives while we're heart broken..life goes on and we still eat breakfast and stuff...we don't just sit around crying!

[BohemianBeauty42]

Is there somewhere I can get this version? I like it better than what's on iTunes.

[Support4MySingers]

MEMORIES from when I was like, 11 LOL. Great 90's song! Feel so bad for kids born in the 90's because they missed out and only get the shit music of today!

[anonyrmous]

@Support4MySingers I was born in '91, totally agree.

[TurboPikachuX]

@Support4MySingers

I was born in '94... My favorite music came out between '98 and '05, but I ended up liking music in the late 80s and early 90s more than anything as time went on.

It is indeed very sad to have been born during an era of great music, but having to spend my teen years with shit music on the radio. I can't help but be optimistic though, because at least music this year isn't quite as bad as the music from '07-'10(the Soulja Boy/Justin Bieber era)....

[shenalou100]

Listen to 15 year old Jasmin Steer

[DaigoMoustache]

This song makes me cry. It's so heartbreaking!

[IsaacAkasha]

Everything but you...

[imredz]

[imredz]

[nutsack666]

[cguyrr]

@nutsack666 clearly you havent discovered ke$ha yet, she'll blow you away

[nutsack666]

@cguyrr Ke$ha? come on man...i would give it to her, but shes a talentless whore

[cguyrr]

@nutsack666 obviously you dont pick up sarcasm

[nutsack666]

@cguyrr picking up sarcasm thru text can be hard. ive had people post dead serious responses more ridiculous than that. 

[cguyrr]

@nutsack666 i mean dont get me wrong. would i fuck her, yes. would i buy her a lobster dinner, no

[nutsack666]

@cguyrr you buy her a lobster shes liable to find a way to masturbate with it

[SAPPHIRE0914]

why are there comments about this being "the pancake song"? I grew up in the 90's and vividly remember this song but no pancake????

[Support4MySingers]

@SAPPHIRE0914 Same, but I remember people always calling it that but it never made sense to me until now and I'm 27...took me long enough LMAO!

[SummerxMarch]

is that woody allen

[xxxx7706]

This was one of my mom's favorite songs! She was a fan of Jewel in general, but she could never get enough of this song...RIP mom...I love ya!

[k12kyle]

@xxxx7706

dude my mom was like that too!! she'd sing this song all the time :) and I would listen to the CD with her over and over again

[kissyadair]

look up 'Crystal Farmer singing Jewel.' Its me and my brother doing this song. You won't be disappointed!!!

[Nona09ify]

i still love her and this song. so old yet still classic!

[januarygurlguzzard92]

Ha remember this video back in 97 I was told not to watch it for some odd reason by my aunt lol.

[NostalgicTimeMan]

I remember back in the late 90's when I was like younger than 5 years old, I used to hear this all the time. On the mornings when my mom took me to preschool, this song was on and I remember that I used to refer to it as the pancake song. :) I loved it when I was a kid.

[LeahJane1995]

Lol funny you thought it was the pancake song hahahahahahahahahahah@Nostalgi­cTimeMan

[AK4711892]

Im a 19 year old soldier.my girl left me when i deployed. Still cant enjoy this song without crying and zoning out.

[warnergurl05]

@AK4711892 ah, I'm sorry, she doesn't sound like a good girlfriend anyways.. you deserve better than that! doesn't take that pain away, i know. but one day you will find the perfect girl for you

[warnergurl05]

@AK4711892

[TheBrohaan]

congrats phyllis and rob vance (vance refrigeration)!

[joacoggg]

No se por q en este momento me acorde d esta rola.

[okremington]

I have Pieces of You on cassette in my car, the version on the tape is a little different than this.

[pimphstrong1]

this song makes me think of my crush

[LeahJane1995]

I was a year old when this was released in 1996 I'm now 16 and love it

[bornforleavin1989]

i was 8 when this came out its a tear jerker

[SuperKare123]

my dad likes this song haha

[mrwillf1995]

the office rules

[wojtuniakfrog]

@mrwillf1995 Your argument is invalid.

[1991ncw]

@mrwillf1995 i dont get it... like the office with jim and dwight and shit?

[cozygoby15]

i do a cover of this song:)

[shenalou100]

Listen to Jasmin Steer sing this. Brilliant, just type in her name :)

[stylestar07]

Male, female, gay or straight.. it really doesn't matter.. amazing music is amazing music.. it shouldn't demasculate you or make you feel odd to love good music..j/s

[2drewbaker]

No song can be written to fit all people and all situations.

I think the chorus comes close...since we all have had lost loves.

And the hope of getting them back.

The chorus is also meaningful for a new love. Forget the rest.

[brianolvr11]

So sexy in something so casual, man I really miss women like Jewel......

[Krucius]

Woody Harrelson?

[cwogensen]

What a voice, just amazing

[d50lbcurls]

This song remains me of Lisa Emmi, You Live, You Love , You Lose, I Will Always Love You

[tubbyferchu]

Me había olvidado lo que me encantaba este tema.

[cheesecarrots]

ROFL at the comments. Hakuna Matata, dude. Just enjoy the song.

[watchthesetens]

@cheesecarrots Fuck off, cunt.

[cheesecarrots]

@watchthesetens Hahahaha wow, kid. That hurt me real deep just now. Thanks for the love

[watchthesetens]

@cheesecarrots I'm going to have to ask you to STFU.

[imortalsappy]

Hahaha, if this guy @watchthesetens is serious then wow it just shows how evil both sides are becoming. Your rhetoric is a little much bud. You need to read bit of Orwell and educate yourself on a language called NewSpeak where people weren't allowed to convey themselves in certain ways. You cant scrutinize every last string of words for its possibility to offend as everyone is offended in different ways and are their plights no less than any other individual or group. PC is a dangerous road!

[watchthesetens]

@imortalsappy Shut. The. Fuck. Up. There's nothing unclear about that, is there? NO, so DO it. Thanks.

[Braxtonrox]

preach missjulyandsuch.

[MissJulyandsuch]

so what if you like it.. man, woman, gay or not.. it's a good song. i don't know anyone who doesn't just love atleast one Jewel song. simple as that.

[ZWCH7]

There are parts when she looks like Mandy Moore. I absolutely love this song.

[Jennycake82]

I love this song so much...

[amizanm]

Sweet, soothing lullaby

[laura21ish]

this song reminds me of a lot of good times, but dreams last for so long

but this song rox foreva <3

[shenalou100]

horriehomepage. Thanks for your comments. Jasmin Steer is my daughter so its nice to get feedback from others

[shenalou100]

Listen to a cover of this song by 14 year old Jasmin Steer. Just type in her name!

[horriehomepage]

@shenalou100 I actually like that Jasmin girl's version better. The rhythm of the chorus is slightly different such that the "even after you're gone" part comes in earlier (same as Kevin on the Office episode).

Also she doesn't have that "greatest adventure" hobbit voice shaking thing that Jewel does. I think this is a great song, but nothing about Jewel's voice really strikes me. Thanks for mentioning Ms. Steer! Hopefully she'll make a recording of this song some day.

Just because she is not like one of those people who dress all fancy and she doesnt does not mean she is not mature and good she is beautiful in her own way <3 you jewel!
