Foolish Games (LP Version)   by Jewel...

Jewel Kilcher, an American singer-songwriter known simply as Jewel, wrote and released her hit song “Foolish Games” in 1996, and it quickly became an international sensation. The hauntingly beautiful ballad stayed at the top of the charts for weeks, and its emotional lyrics and powerful melody resonated with millions of listeners worldwide. So, what is the meaning behind this classic song? Let’s take a deeper look and explore the inspiration behind Jewel’s heartbreaking lyrics. 

“Foolish Games” is a song about love and heartbreak, about the pain of letting go of someone you love and the regret that comes with realizing how much you took them for granted. It’s a song that speaks to anyone who has ever been in love, anyone who has ever felt the sting of rejection, and anyone who has ever wished they could go back in time and do things differently. At its core, “Foolish Games” is a song about the risks we take in love, and how sometimes those risks can lead to heartbreak and regret. At the beginning of the song, Jewel sings about the uncertainty of love and how it can be both wonderful and terrifying at the same time. She confesses to her lover that she’s afraid of losing him and that she doesn’t know how to make their love last: Jewel wrote “Foolish Games” during a time of heartbreak in her own life. She was struggling in a tumultuous relationship with her then-boyfriend, and the song was a way for her to express her pain and frustration. In an interview with People Magazine, Jewel spoke about the inspiration behind the song, saying: “I was in an affair with a guy who wouldn’t commit, and I felt like I was doing all the sacrificing. Finally, I said, ‘I’m leaving.’ Once I did, he wanted me back so badly, but I didn’t go back because I knew I would just be sacrificing again. The song was about that. ”Jewel’s personal experience with heartbreak and betrayal is what gives “Foolish Games” its emotional depth and beauty. It’s a song that speaks to the universal experience of love, loss, and regret and resonates with listeners of all ages and backgrounds. Since its release in 1996, “Foolish Games” has become a timeless classic and one of Jewel’s most beloved songs. It has been covered by numerous artists, including Kelly Clarkson, and has been used in movies and TV shows like “Dawson’s Creek” and “Cold Case.” But its impact goes beyond just its popularity and success. “Foolish Games” is a song that has touched the lives of countless listeners, and has helped them to find solace and comfort amid their heartbreak. In her book “Never Broken,” Jewel reflects on the legacy of “Foolish Games,” saying: “I’ve had strangers come up to me and tell me how much that song meant to them, how it helped them through a difficult time or gave them the courage to leave a bad relationship. That’s the power of music, and it’s what makes writing and performing so meaningful to me. ”In the end, “Foolish Games” is a testament to the power of love and the pain that comes with it. It’s a song that speaks to the humanity in us all and reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Good afternoon, dear friend. Normally, as you know, I only post one song per day, but there has been a request by a Pandora Community member, @01312011Arianna, who wishes to have several songs posted. I will post the first of three this afternoon, and the next two over the next two days. Here is the first song by Avril Lavigne Bite Me (parents beware, this song is explicit). Enjoy the song as well as the read.

This high-energy guitar-and-drum-centered track finds Avril Lavigne returning to the pop-punk sound that made her famous. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker's DTA Records released the song on November 10, 2021, as her first single after signing to the label. Lyrically, this is a takedown of a former lover who failed to treat Lavigne properly. The sassy pop-punk queen rages at the no-good dude for being a liar and a playa. She assures him he'll regret crossing her for the rest of his life and kicks him out for good.

I gave you one chance, you don't get it twice
Hey, you, and we'll be together never, so baby, you can bite me

The cheating guy is getting his romantic karma. Speaking to Kevan Kenney on Alt 92.3, Lavigne said the song "is about someone who wants a second chance but they f----d up so royally they're kinda not really worth your time, and they realize after the fact that you had a really good thing going on, and you're sort of the one that got away." 

Lavigne collected an impressive cast of songwriters and producers to help her write the track. They are:
EDM/pop producer Marshmello. Los Angeles producer Omer Fedi. (24kGoldn's "Mood," The Kid Laroi's "Without You" and "Stay," and Lil Nas X's "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) ." Pop-punk producer John Feldmann, who is a frequent collaborator with 5 Seconds of Summer, blink-182, and Panic! at the Disco.
Machine Gun Kelly's writing partner, Mod Sun. Lavigne is a big fan of the Minnesota rapper/singer and recorded a duet with him, "Flames," which Mod Sun dropped in January 2021. John Feldmann and Mod Sun also produced the song with Travis Barker. Omer Fedi plays guitar on the track, and Travis Barker contributes his signature, ear-blasting drums. Hannah Lux Davis directed the video. It finds Lavigne and Barker terrorizing the ex that did the singer wrong, helped by some tutu-wearing tough guys.

Avril Lavigne had two failed marriages: first with Sum 41's Deryck Whibley, then with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger. But the singer was blissed-out with her boyfriend, Mod Sun, when she penned this song and felt it was time to rock again. "I'm in a happy place in my life, and it's all like it's fun and it reflects that," Lavigne told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. "I've been through the wringer, so like yeah I'm writing about it again... and I feel like 'Bite Me' is kind of about a guy wanting a second chance but not giving him the time of day because, you know, you did before... It didn't work out, and having that self-respect." (Source comes from Bite Me by Avril Lavigne - Songfacts) 

@01312011Arianna, thank you for your request.

Have a blessed day. Take care, and GOD bless. 

[01312011Arianna]

@MOHLovesAlaska Thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate it 

[01312011Arianna]

@MOHLovesAlaska you as well take care and god bless 

[MOHLovesAlaska]

@01312011Arianna, you're welcome, dear friend. I will post another one of your requests tomorrow and then the third on Monday. If I get some time over the weekend, then perhaps on one of those days. Have a blessed day, take care, and GOD bless. 

[01312011Arianna]

Thank you. 💖. Have a great day and I hope to see more posts from you. I wanna make another post. @MOHLovesAlaska  Do you have any ideas. I was also thinking I don't know how to do it, but like you could be kinda like a helper of mine or a co-worker kinda thing on the post. Let me know and I'll make it. Also let me know your thoughts.

[MOHLovesAlaska]

@01312011Arianna, I have a great idea for you if you are interested. I used to do a post called GSOTD (Genre Songs Of The Day). But with all the other posts I curate, I don't have the time to do all of the ones that I have created. There was a time I did have the time, but life became busier than before. You don't have to continue the one I have started; you can create your very own. All you have to do is just add some songs that are in a different genre for each posting, then add a little info about each song. I can help you get it started, or you can come up with your own ideas; you can take a look at my old posts to give you some ideas as well. 

Take care, dear friend, and GOD bless.  

[01312011Arianna]

@MOHLovesAlaska I love the idea but I was also wondering when I create that post that you suggested if we wanted to kinda tag team it and we both help eachother out in the post whteher its posting a song if one of us are busy, replying to comments or anything we think we need help with. So for example in a job you have the manager and the workers and co workers I was willing to give you kinda the opportunity. I would be the manager/worker and your the co worker helping me out. Let me know. Take care and god bles

[01312011Arianna]

@MOHLovesAlaska Also if you could help me get stated that would be lovely

[MOHLovesAlaska]

@01312011Arianna, of course, this will be your very own post, and I would be more than happy to help you kick-start it and give you a hand with it whenever you need. Come up with a title for it, something similar to GSOTD (Genre Songs Of The Day), but make it your own. You will enjoy doing it that much more if you make it an original (your own). I will help you as much as you need and as often as you need, but you should make the subject title yours. We all have a creative side within us, and I know you do as well. You came up with the idea to start your own post. Now lets begin with your title. Give it some thought, and we will go from there. Deal? Great! Will be waiting to hear from you.

Take care, and GOD bless. 

[01312011Arianna]

@MOHLovesAlaska lol deal!!🤝 So I was thinking the title could be The electric treasures of the day?? Um let me know if that's like a good title and your thoughts. Include a different title if you come up with it and I'll let you know. Cant wait to chat next. Also I don't have a creative side to me.

[MOHLovesAlaska]

@01312011Arianna, you need to have more faith in your abilities...I know you have it in you; you just need some guidance to make it sparkle or come to fruition. 

Here are some ideas that I would like to bounce off of you. Tell me what you think. And if you like one of them, then it is yours to have. 

• MSOTD – Mood Songs of the Day

• VSOTD – Vibe Songs of the Day

• TSOTD – Theme Songs of the Day

• SSOTD – Spotlight Songs of the Day

• CSOTD – Curated Songs of the Day

• The Daily Spin

• Fresh Finds Daily

• The Sound Spotlight

• Daily Dose of Discovery

• The Listening Lounge

• Tune of the Moment

• The Music Moodboard

These are all music-related, and some are kind of catchy. You can still use your original idea if you would like, but I just thought I would throw something more in the mix for you to choose from. 

Take care, and GOD bless. 

[01312011Arianna]

@MOHLovesAlaska I like today's track treasures. Thank you. I guess I should have a little more faith in my abilitys

[01312011Arianna]

@MOHLovesAlaska do you want me to create the post or you? And what are plans tomorrow because if free we could text on her and kinda make up some ideas of how to set it up 

[MOHLovesAlaska]

@01312011Arianna, so track treasures is yours to have. I will delete it from my previous post. If you like, we can try to give this a jump start on Monday. Let me know what you think? Your very first song should be your overall favorite. By starting with your favorite, you can make it a conversation piece as well, explaining why it is your favorite, which gives the reader a more detailed personal view of the creator and curator. 

Take care, and GOD bless.

[01312011Arianna]

@MOHLovesAlaska you don't have to delete it but it's up to you. Thank you. We could text on Monday. For some reason it's not stating the accurate time on my end it' say for me you posted that last comment at 436. What time is it for you
