As I writer I am influenced by many great songs and songwriters. However, every so often a song truly touches me. In my opinion Shania and Mutt are the best songwriters there will ever be. All of their songs are masterpieces. However, one on her latest album has just really made an impression on me. The song "I'm Jealous" has really made me reconsider the way I write and reconsider true love. This song - words just can't describes how deep and magnificent the lyrics are but I'll try. Here are the lyrics just for reference...
I'M JEALOUS Shania Twain / R. J. Lange
If i were the moon, i could
catch your eye- i'm jealous of the moon
if i were the wind, i would
make you fly - i'm jealous of that too
I wish i were the sun shining
on your face - caressing like a lover
i would wrap you up in a warm embrace -
we'd be holdin' one another
(i'm jealous of the sun)
i'm jealous of the sun
(jealous of the sun) oh,
i'm jealous of the sun
Oh, i don't wanna share you with
nothing else - i gotta have you to myself
oh - i can't help it - i'm so in love -
i just can't get you close enough, no
Chorus:
when the sun's on your skin -
i can't hold it in
and i know it's a sin -
but i'm jealous of the sun
I wish i were the rain runnin' down your
neck - and drippin' from your fingers
then i could be the drops rollin' off your
back - i'd love to let it linger
(jealous of the rain) oh,
i'm jealous of the rain
Oh, i don't wanna share you with nothing
else - i gotta have you to myself
oh - i can't help it - i'm so in love -
i just can't get you close enough, no
Chorus:
When it rains on your face -
i almost can taste
your beauty, your grace -
i'm jealous of the rain
Chorus:
When the wind's in your hair -
the way it blows through the air
oh, it seems so unfair, yeah
Chorus:
When the moon's in your eyes -
you seem to light up the skies, yeah
and i realize -
i'm even jealous of the moon
WOW!!! Can you imagine being so in love with someone you are jealous that the sun is touching their skin, the moon is in their eyes, the wind is in their hair, or rain is on their face. This is the most beautiful love song I've ever heard! I know now what true love is. I know that when I find it I will feel this way. I just can't stop listening to the song over and song and wanted to share with the rest of your writers what this song was meant to me.
