I've posted this song* on my site because I think this is one of the greatest recordings I've ever heard. This was recorded at the Embassy Theater in Fort Wayne, Indiana on July 21 2004. I'm hoping that by raising awareness of this recording, that it will be released on a future Jewel CD. This is a duet between Jewel and Joe Firstman.
My interpretation of the lyrics:
EVERYTHING REMINDS ME OF YOU
[Jewel]
I walk around the room
It's funny how these silly things remind me of you
And I have this hole in my chest
But I guess you know me good enough
That you know all the rest
[Together]
If it makes it alright
I'll spend the night with you dear
(It could) only reappear
'Cause everything reminds me of you
And it's just gonna take a little getting used to
And it's just gonna take a little getting used to
[Joe Firstman]
And when I had to ask you why
I'd remind you of what you said to me
And how you said it to me that night
And if you had to ask me when
I'd remind you of how you kissed me
When I held you back then
[Together]
If it makes it alright
I'll spend the night with you dear
(It could) only reappear
'Cause everything reminds me of you
And it's just gonna take a little getting used to
And it's just gonna take a little getting used to
[Jewel]
Love is built kiss by kiss
Just like a house brick by brick
So it has to be undone
[Joe Firstman]
And you got your sad eyes to hide behind
And you got your lies
Lord knows that I got all mine
[Together]
If it makes it alright
I'll spend the night with you dear
Wish it never disappeared
'Cause everything reminds me of you
And it's just gonna take a little getting used to
'Cause everything reminds me of you
And it's just gonna take a little getting used to
And it's just gonna take a little getting used to
