|🏴| Jealous is reinterpreted by Josh Daniels in a very personal way. The back story of losing his best friends is heartbreaking and the pain in his voice is genuine and still present. When this was broadcast it stunned me, as it did the judges. Simon was overwhelmed. Yes, emotion should be conveyed (but constrained) and seldom is it done successfully. Although this X Factor audition hurts to watch I come back to it as a rare and precious example of the heart speaking directly. Lyrics (parts sung in bold) I'm jealous of the rain That falls upon your skin It's closer than my hands have been I'm jealous of the rain I'm jealous of the wind That ripples through your clothes It's closer than your shadow Oh, I'm jealous of the wind, cause I wished you the best of All this world could give And I told you when you left me There's nothing to forgive But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was Heartbreak and misery It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way You're happy without me I'm jealous of the nights That I don't spend with you I'm wondering who you lay next to Oh, I'm jealous of the nights I'm jealous of the love Love that was in here Gone for someone else to share Oh, I'm jealous of the love, cause I wished you the best of All this world could give And I told you when you left me There's nothing to forgive But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was Heartbreak and misery It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way You're happy without me As I sink in the sand Watch you slip through my hands Oh, as I die here another day Cause all I do is cry behind this smile I wished you the best of All this world could give And I told you when you left me There's nothing to forgive But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was Heartbreak and misery It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way You're happy without me It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way You're happy without me Songwriters: Timothy Mckenzie / Josh Kear / Natalie Hemby |
