This song is one of my all time favorites from Jewel. Its really a little known track from her first album: Pieces of You. I just love the poetic meaning behind all of it which inspired me to make this video. I hope you enjoy it. Its the first time I ever made a video. So can I at least get some positive feed back. And yes I know the song is very long.

This is my love song & so it just became apparent to me the other day after 15 yrs!........1999 I first laid eyes on this adorable young man in my class at College. I was so excited to hear he was in the fine arts program like myself. We were young aspiring artists! Gawd he was cute! I was 21 yrs old and he 20. Later that day it was pouring rain. I was driving my first car and I saw him walking from the college in the rain with his portfolio....I pulled over and offered him a ride...he politley declined. I told him "get in." He did....thus became a yr of friendship and courting....we were married 6 yrs later and a yr later we had our 1st daughter Madeline 6 and now Charlotte 2.5. .. 15 yrs later (2 days ago) gutting the spare room to make a kids playroom and we stumbled across a box of letters between him and I. We read them together and it brought tears to our eyes and brought us even closer !.....for a moment in time, it was just him and I again in the world we created with these four hands together.....The very first letter I wrote him was on Dec 5th 1999 (before cell phones, text or internet) We had none.....The letter....I read it to him.....and I read I knew then we were meant for each other then and even more so now when we read it. The second page of the letter was the entire lyrics for this song...Painters. And we were both emotional once again because the song depicts our life...from start , mid way and confident the same for the finish :(...Him and I are the luckiest people alive. We shared that song in front of a fire on a rug one night in 1999.....but that's between us ;) We were destined to find each other and never lost sight of the strength of our love for too long over the yrs, the power of our love will last until death. I never believed in soul mates until I met him. I wish the same for all those who want it. Love this man more than any one could understand. This song paints the picture for him and I and it has since before we even committed. lovers til death...Painting our lives lovely..

I bought the 'Pieces Of You' album in the late 1990's,but I haven't heard it for a while.I was reminded of this song recently-I had almost forgotten how beautiful it is.It is a wistful,melancholy song,beautifully written and performed with passion.The combination of the strings and her haunting voice and lyrics (at 3:45) are just so moving.

brings me to tears with her poetically vivid lyrics and angelic voice. so honest and pure. beautiful song. I wish mainstream record studios would sell music like this. music with meaning, soul, depth, and passion. something u can feel. jewel's song is simple but powerful. love her lyrics what a talent she has.

"Painters"Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porchWatching the clouds roll byThey remind her of her lover, how he left her, and of times long ago.When she used to color carelessly painted his portraitA thousand times-or maybe just his smile-And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go'Cause I'm a painter and i want to paint you a lovely worldA lovely world.Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wallHe put water-colored roses in her hairHe said, "Love, I love you, I want to give you mountains, the sunshine, the sunset tooI just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselvesA lovely world.So they sat down and made a drawing of their love, they made it an art to live byThey painted every, passion every home, created every beautiful childin the winter they were weavers of warmth, in summer they were carpenters of loveThey thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselvesA lovely world.Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oilAnd in her heart she knew something was wrongShe went running through the orchard screaming,'No God, don't take him from me!,'But buy the time she got there, she feared he already had goneShe got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for herShe threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave mewith nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits to remind me!He said, 'Love I leave, but only a little, try to understandI put my soul in this life we created with these four handsLove, I leave, but only a little this world holds me stillMy body may die now, but these paintings are real.'So many seasons came and many seasons wentand many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers,talking to the trees and singing to his childrenAnd when the wind blew, she knew he was listening,and how he seamed to laugh along, and how he seemed to hold herwhen she was crying'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselvesA lovely world.Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porchWatching the clouds roll by, they remind her of her loverhow he left her and of times long ago, when she used to color carelessly,Painted his portrait a thousand times, or maybe just his smile,and she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would goYes, she and her canvas still followBecause they are painters and they are painting themselvesA lovely world
