"You Were Meant for Me" is a folk pop song written by Jewel and Steve Poltz and performed by Jewel on her first album, ''Pieces of You''. It relates the singer's incomprehension of a failed relationship, and her inadequate attempts at moving on with her life. It was the second single from that album and went on to receive a great deal of recognition. It became a hit and reached #2 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for 2 weeks, (held off by "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" by Puff Daddy & Mase & "Hypnotize" by The Notorious B.I.G.) & and went to #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart for a single week. Foolish Games/You Were Meant For Me ranked at number 15 on ''Billboard'' ==About the record== "You Were Meant For Me" was Jewel's second single to be taken from her debut album. Atlantic Records had Jewel re-record the song for a more radio-friendly version. Initially, the first version that was released was the "Juan Patino Radio Mix" (with a music video produced by Sean Penn). This version did not gather much attention, and it was later cancelled, with the video pulled from MTV and VH1. Jewel again went back into the studio to record the song for a third time. The version produced is known as the "radio version". The original radio version, "Juan Patino Radio Mix", was never released commercially, but on a promotional LP titled "Phyllis Barnabee Finally Gets A Bra" in 1996. The actual "radio version" was released on a commercial CD single, and later on a re-release of Jewel's debut album "Pieces of You". Steve Poltz later referenced the record in his song 'Happier Hour' through the lyrics "Did I ever tell you I wrote a hit with Jewel? I was truly meant for you and you were truly meant for me." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「You Were Meant for Me (Jewel song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
