13-Corner of the Earth
Jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just for you, only today
If you hurry you can get a ray on you, come with me, just to play
Like every humming bird and bumblebee
Every sunflower, cloud and every tree
I feel so much a part of this
Nature's got me high and it's beautiful
I'm with this deep eternal universe
[Chorus]
This corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of this I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
So inspired of that there's nothing left to do or say
Think I'll dream, 'til the stars shine
The wind it whispers and the clouds don't seem to care
And I know inside, that it's all mine
It's the chorus of the breakin' dawn
The mist that comes before the sun is born
To a hazy afternoon in May
Nature's got me high and it's so beautiful
I'm with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth
[Chorus]
This corner of the earth, is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
When the sunlight comes for free
I know the corner of this earth it smiles at me
The song "Corner of the Earth" by Jamiroquai is a beautiful ode to the wonder and beauty of nature. The opening verse sets the tone for the entire song, with the lyrics "Little darlin' don't you see the sun is shining / just for you, only today." The singer invites the listener to come with him and enjoy the natural world, mentioning hummingbirds, bumblebees, sunflowers, and trees. He describes feeling a deep connection to the universe and the eternal cycle of life and death.
The chorus repeats the message that this corner of the earth is like the singer in many ways, and that he feels blessed to be able to sit and observe the natural world. He describes the sunlight being free and the earth smiling at him. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer expressing a sense of ownership over the natural world, as if it's all his to enjoy. He mentions the wind whispering and the clouds not caring, and says he knows that it's all his.
Overall, the song speaks to the power of nature to inspire and uplift. The singer feels a deep connection to the world around him and finds joy and beauty in even the smallest details. The simple message of the song is to slow down and appreciate the natural world, and to find peace and happiness in doing so.

This man can't write a bad song, Jamiroquai can do no wrong in music, absolutely brilliant artist.
@hagen1113
+Richie Allan I totally agree, he just moves between great, superb, and brilliant songs
@srexzangetsu6554

@leupideuvache7155
but it's a band, not just jay kay
@blackout57
So true.
@emiliasmetanov3393
generally yes but their new music just sucks. they try to connect it to the pop and mainstream music genre in 2018 and it is just horrible. even some of the tunes from earlier years. somewhere in 2010 they just lost their creativity, maybe because of the global culture change,maybe because of all the other musicians that they replaced along the years,maybe everything together. even this song is already not as good as others,and i'm not even talking about the iconic songs'just the generally good ones. it's very, very disappointing. i just wish i was old enough and really lived in the era when they started becoming famous.
@sofianobili-noub113
i know that nobody cares about what i'm gonna say, but this is my happy song, that song that you listen when you're alone bc it's like your secret that nobody can hear. thank u jay
@alisonsanter8074
Why did you say that 🥺 I care. It's a wonderful song and I am very touched that it is your happy song. Used to make me happy too. Cant listen to it anymore, since it was chosen for a much loved young man's funeral. I hope to be able to return to it one day and smile. Take care and enjoy your happy time xx

This is my song of comfort when I am alone and wandering
