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
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 it 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, yeah yeah
I'm with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth
You know that 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 it I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me
I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me
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 it I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me
I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me
I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me
(I know this corner of the earth)
The song "Corner of the Earth" by Jamiroquai speaks to the beauty and wonder of nature and the human connection to it. The lyrics are full of vivid imagery, painting a picture of a sun-drenched corner of the earth and the singer's deep appreciation for all the beauty around them. The singer invites a loved one to join them in enjoying the natural world, describing the beauty of every creature and every element of the landscape. In these moments, the singer feels connected to the universe and the eternal cycle of life and death within it.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer recognizing how much this corner of the earth is like them, and how they are blessed to be able to sit and watch the world around them without any ulterior motive or distraction. They recognize that the world smiles at them, and they in turn feel grateful and inspired by the beauty around them. The song is a reminder to take a step back from the chaos of everyday life and appreciate the natural world, and the connection we all have to it.

@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
