Jewel - You Were Meant For Me (1995 circa)

[@type1warroirrath427]

She’s such a natural beautiful woman that’s not fake. Also she puts so much emotion into her performances

[@thedoctor2099]

This is my favorite version as well. The way she sings it, her expressions and just the overall presence are some of the things that make this version my favorite.

[@Hydrosized]

It’s as raw as can be! Love it

[@cmacgreg]

@@Hydrosized Jewel was always kinda on my periphery, this performance is so good, it made me more interested in all her music. if only it was always this raw and natural

[@GreenGenerationTV]

agreed. I like this the best because the LP version on apple music clips like a mofo.

[@pustoolio]

Omg, I was a 17 year old metal head back in 1995 but I was so in love with her... This son still gets me every time.

[@StacheBigote]

Love this. Sometimes songs just transcend genre. This song is good any way you slice it.

[@FallNorth]

Oi! hands off. When they invent time machines I'm first back.To ... er..... get rejected. But I loved her more, and that's a thing! .. I was a metal head then, she transcends time :)

[@eboethrasher]

@@FallNorth She caressed my earlobes and told me how nice they were when I saw her at Insomnia coffee house in 1995. I think it was 1995, anyway, it was right before she went out on tour supporting Peter Murphy because she had to cut the "Coffeehouse Residency" tour short to do that tour. She was amazing in those tiny venues. I had met her when I was working at the record store in the City Center mall at the end of 1994, Waves Music. I stopped working there in the fall of 1995, at a different location with far less foot traffic from famous musicians (like Steve Perry from Journey).

you too, huh?!

I was 14 in the 95’ ✊🏿

Still listenning during 2020' Coronavirus time. The music is magic. Watta beautiful song.

[@kingkeitheius2988]

One of my first songs i learned to play on guitar

[@kingkeitheius2988]

I'm 35 so I was probably 13 when that song released on MTV. Always loved your voice and music.

[@SatoshiNakamoto888]

Music isn't the same anymore, nothing is. Take me back to the 90's and my childhood.

[@tundra12555]

From brushing her teeth in public washroom ,taking showers at recreation centers, playing/ writing just for the love of music, to a supper star. What a life story! she's one talented woman that is highly underrated.

[@johnvucajnk5713]

Jewel is fresh as a daisy, yet beautiful like a rose, a spontaneous magic, glittering hope, sparkle , a mountain of dreams, she flows down like a river.

[@laurenreid5744]

I love her heart remind me of my poetry

[@RADKRAZY]

I doubt that she had any idea how beautiful she was in this Vid. Adorable and talented!

[@RADKRAZY]

@jewel_kilcher since I first saw the who will save your soul video.

[@1091Alcatraz]

What Pure raw talent.As I listen to this song 30 years later,its still better than most music.

[@angelray5994]

still listening to this in 2016. 90's where the best!

[@mattyoz0]

80's was better

[@mattr.9250]

80's were pretty good also ......

[@harrisonlittrell8842]

70s much better some good music comes from 90s

[@STAGENAME1]

Still listening in 2019. Jewel was just amazing, a wonderful singer-songwriter and beautiful beyond words. I so wish she would make a comeback.

[@SonnyGTA]

Angel Ray WHERE? WHERE?

[@OasisDNA]

Timeless. It plays like the linens that hang in the breeze of a summer evening. Thank you for this.

[@tessafosho2023]

timeless IS THE WORD YES

[@Vmieee]

beautifully put

[@tonyrichno4392]

I never get tired of watching her sing. You can see every note and sound coming from the very bottom of her soul. Seems like she never does a song the same way twice. Fantastic

[@shannonnonameinilovecats0]

My favorite version of this song so far. She is so cute here but later as she matures she becomes straight up beautiful 💕

[@MrSeanface]

Once in a while the industry gets ahold of someone who still writes their own music and sings from their heart. And they exploit them and do what the industry does. And, once in a while, its someone like Jewel, whose voice and artistic expression is so strong free and real that it will still allways shine through all that they are pushed through. Dont be supressed, let your creativity smash through those that try and change it! And, thanks Jewel, its a gift to us all!

[@bartvandenberg977]

Indeed. Like John Mayer

[@kaitlin2019]

Read somewhere that said this was written by a guy

[@imaginaryname7110]

She is certainly a rare gift for us all to share.

She’s amazing, always has been always will be …

[@rhuephus]

after watching some of Jewel's later recordings ... years later ... I would still consider *_this one_* as the definitive version

[@brianwalsh6666]

One of the most interesting performances I have seen by any singer. Only life experience can produce such. Amazing

[@regould221]

Like Loretta Lynn and Coal Miner's Daughter

[@Elronn]

Back when artists were still “discovered” she was such a wholesome and authentic person. I miss the 90s so bad.

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

She was the best. I miss the 90s

[@stephenlegette5082]

Don't Care What Anyone Says Jewel Has An Amazing Voice.

[@joemaccabee]

I can't tell myself how not to fall in love with her, she's so genuine and you can feel her heart pouring all over. What a great and fascinating woman she is!!!

[@YenCrew]

Jewel is Angelic. Signature of Divine! 🙌😭

[@zzzzz77771]

Agreed. All that is beautiful is from above, her talent is from God. That's why it resonates so much in people's soul

[@agentbb007]

20 years ago!? Crazy how time flies...

[@Clearanceman2]

She's still smoking hot

[@boringrainbow6958]

i prefer her present voice because i personally preferred lower pitch

[@jamescraig5852]

One of the best female artist of all time. I never get tired of her

[@randomguy781]

this is a real singer/songwriter. no autotune. no ghost writers. no lip synching

[@shotgun2a]

Auto-tune wasn't invented in 1995. And she had a co-writer on this song. Lip syncing isn't an indicator of talent, but more of production aesthetic in a live performance. As a side note, metronomes WERE around in '95...

[@randomguy781]

Jason Vanhoy i kinda think you missed the point of my point. oh well though.

[@MusicHeartofMine2012]

+Jason Vanhoy you can speak all the bullshit you want but if you gloss over this woman you are a blind fool!!!

[@shotgun2a]

MusicHeartofMine2012 Who's glossing over? I'm a huge Jewell fan, I bought this record as soon as it dropped. My point was that the melodramatic, emotional way some people talk about music is ridiculous. Usually it's people who couldn't point out the Antares gear if they were IN a studio, who really just want to say "hey, I really like this person's work"; but, instead they have to go off on some rant about things they have little experience with to somehow justify what is already a perfectly valid opinion. Which music you like is always valid because it's your choice. Saying something is universally "good" because it does or does not use some particular technology or production methodology is ignorant. What if plate reverb was a new thing, would OP be all up in arms because of the fakeness of it and only like "real" music that was really recorded in a huge physical space? No. Likely he wouldn't know a plate reverb from a plate reverb plugin from a large hall reverb from a large hall reverb plugin. Bottom line: calling one person a "real artist" and another person not a "real artist" because of the tools they use is a completely masturbatory exercise with no redeeming value whatsoever.

[@dannyworks2030]

Jason Vanhoy

[@zzzzz77771]

I was 12 when this was recorded. I never heard it growing up in England, whicy is strange as american pop music usually went across the pond. I knew of her, but I never heard her songs.... until last week when I across the original YWMFM video. Wow! What a woman!

[@Superlundi]

she was so incredibly amazing in her early years - loved her first album !

[@samgent4604]

The crush off my life :) can’t ever get enough of watching her sing

[@coltonsmith1466]

Amen Brother!

Wow. I read the comments and I agree with EVERY ONE of them. I adore this young lady.

[@rhuephus]

well .. she's about 26 years older now

[@rhuephus]

great music is timeless ... wow ... she's singing with eeemoootions

[@eboethrasher]

This is the Jewel I met. She was so full of talent, awesome to talk to, such a great performer who could really hold a room, even if that room was only full of 60 people in a small coffeehouse across from OSU campus in Cbus.

[@andradehomepage]

WOW! At this time born an angel in music. Incredible this talent to sing, act and write. It's rare! We are all waiting her in Brazil, some day...

Check out Missy Higgins from Australia. She does all those things too and is a great talent just like Jewel. :)

So young and creative. She did a beautiful job. It's a really good tune lyrically and melodically. She was very good when we saw her live too.

[@Xoselo1]

Amazing!!! Talent of very few. To put this kind of feeling in a song, so well performed. You could hear her passion to sing and play the guitar!!! Now a great classic.

[@mikemartin8088]

Best version of this song I've ever heard!

[@brendanchwascinski1561]

I miss the 1900s because it wasn't hard to find love

[@brianirish3215]

Still beautiful to listen to

[@IDR2005]

I couldn't agree more. Watching a true musical craftsman getting into it, eyes wandering but not really looking at anything, owning the audience with their performance, draws in such a positive ambiance that its physically and emotionally attractive. This is a good genuine performance by a professional and she's just a kid.

[@judyblueyes1275]

It's absolutely amazing how much she improved and perfected her talent and style over the years....hard to believe how rough this sounds after hearing her later concerts....her guitar playing,singing, presentation, EVERYTHING is AMAZING now!!! 🤩

[@KevenTalks]

The record label must have freaked out when they found her. You don't expect someone who looks like this to put out music like this. It's a record label's fantasy! She can appeal to little kids and older, more cynical music lovers simultaneously. Very rare and unusual quality.

[@eboethrasher]

They busted their ass to get her out there, too. It wasn't easy. The thing that got her out there was her role as Dorothy in a TV version of The Wizard of Oz. Before that, she was still kicking it around in smaller gigs, though she had gotten to open on some decent theater tours like Peter Murphy.

[@Dday_]

That voice.. amazing..
