Jar of Hearts

"You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul."


For some reasons, this line of lyrics send chills down my spine every time I hear it. Its a line from the song "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri. I really love the song: the soft tune of the song matches the sorrowful mood of the lyrics. The chorus of the song is so vivid and very creative. I listen to both the original and the glee version. I really can't decided which one I prefer. Even though they sing the same song, there's a different feeling in each one. Christina Perri's sound makes the song sound distant and cold. The Glee version (sung by Rachel Berry) is more emotional and sad. This one great thing about Glee. Its reproductions give a different edge, a different point of view and personality to each song. I don't watch the TV show too often, but I sometimes listen to the songs they sing on youtube. Sometimes, the Glee version is better than the original!


Here are the lyrics and for the chorus and the link to the two different versions of the song... Enjoy :)


And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
