After living in Nashville, TN for nine years, passing out hundreds of demos, performing live at several of Nashville’s hotspots, Jaimee Paul has finally found her niche … jazz. “I guess I should have realized this several years ago, since I would always list Ella Fitzgerald, Natalie Cole, and Etta James as my top female influences,” says Jaimee. “My love for Jazz standards has always been there, I just never really thought that I’d be given the opportunities to explore it.”
Now 27 years old, she’s exceptionally sincere when it comes to being on stage and performing. Since being in Nashville, Jaimee has been given several unique opportunities for performance. “I was selected for Belmont University’s Best of the Best showcase, held at the historic Ryman Auditorium and it has got to be one of my fondest memories.” Well, the best of the best is right. It was merely a launching pad.
From concert background vocals for Barry Manilow and Dolly Parton, to studio work for Radney Foster and for Lyle Lovett for the movie score for “Dr. T and the Women,” the stage is where Jaimee has really shown her talent. “I love the whole idea of sharing my music on stage,” she says with glee. “There’s something special and invigorating about connecting with the audience. I even like to visualize a crowd when working in the studio.” Apparently it’s paid off. She has garnered credits that include the latest American Idol video game release, jingles for the Ford Motor Company, CBS-2 Chicago, WSM-AM in
Nashville, as well as many independent artist recordings.
Steve Winwood - “A lovely, lovely voice - I have thoroughly enjoyed the show.”
“Classic record that you never get tired of and wish you could sound like.” - Kelly Clarkson
Robert Luke (DJ at WFSK) - “Don’t thank me, I’m just doing my job. Finding a new star and playing her new hits.”
“God has blessed me in this endeavor so many times already; I can’t even begin to count my blessings. I honestly can’t wait to see what happens next.”
Fever
Jaimee Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever!
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever!
In the morning
Fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said,
"Julie, baby, you're my flame
Thou giveth fever
When we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever! I'm afire
Fever, yea, I burn forsooth"
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him,
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare!
He gives me fever
With his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever! I'm his missus
Daddy, won't you treat him right?"
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centrigrade
They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever! 'till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
The song "Fever" by Jaimee Paul is a classic jazz track that was originally written by Eddie Cooley and Otis Blackwell in 1956. In this rendition, Jaimee Paul puts a sultry spin on the melody, adding a seductive and haunting tone to the lyrics. The song is about the feverish intensity of love, and the passion that is ignited between two people when they come together. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer expressing how much they love and care for their partner, and how their embrace drives them to a feverish state.
Throughout the song, the singer talks about the intense physical sensations they feel when they are with their partner - from the heat that rises in their body, to the burning desire that consumes them. The chorus, "You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight, fever, in the morning, fever all through the night" repeats throughout, emphasizing the all-consuming nature of their love. The verses go on to describe how even the sun and moon pale in comparison to the intensity of their passion, and how this feverish love has been a part of human history for centuries, from Romeo and Juliet to Captain Smith and Pocahontas.
Ultimately, the song is a celebration of love and desire, and the way in which it can consume and drive a person to madness. It is a song that speaks to the raw, animalistic nature of love, and the power it can wield over us.
