At the age of 16 Jaren got her start as a country/folk singer. While touring Sweden a few years later, she had the opportunity to write and work with the musical minds behind such major pop acts as Roxette, Ace of Base and Jill Johnson. This formative experience has served Jaren well as she also wrote the lyrics to "Light the Skies", "Saved Again" and "Me & You".
Jaren's introduction to dance music happened when she met Matt Cerf in 2005. Soon after, the two started collaborating with Shawn Mitiska under the name of Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren. The success of the Retrobyte remix of "Light the Skies" placed Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren solidly among dance music’s next generation of heavy hitters. The track was included on Armin Van Buuren's A State of Trance 2007 and named as one of his top tracks of 2007.
2008 will be a phenomenal year for 24 year old Jaren, the "new voice of dance music". High profile collaborations are in the works and Jaren is also finishing production on her folk album… you can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the girl!
WYOMING native, JAREN, fuses her country and soul background with rock, pop, and a good 'ol fashioned upright piano. Her unique piano stylings paired with a voice described as 'haunted by angels and demons alike' are what captured the attention of her producers, Alar Suurna (Roxette), and Jerker Eklund (Jill Johnson).
After several years writing for other artists, JAREN finally delivers the album she wrote for herself, titled "Fixin' It Upright".
"...a distillation of classic songwriters, Tori Amos and 70's music with a European twist."
-Jerker Eklund, Producer
"A heartfelt, haunting and ultimately uplifting blend of folk and pop, by way of Wyoming and Sweden. Jaren's sound gives you the joyous yet peaceful feeling of watching shooting stas with your soul mate in a country field."
- Elizabeth Squires, VP Marketing & Programming, MGM
Another World
Jaren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn down the radio
Let's let this silence tell us where to go
Listen with heart and soul
Listen with heart and soul
Like I should have done so many years ago
Oh, oh, what a feeling
About to fly through the ceiling
To another world
To another world
Oh, oh, what a feeling
I'm alive and wild and
About to fly through the ceiling
To another world
To another world
I live in a stereo
Live in a stereo
Now that I journey with an open soul
And all of the letting go
All of the letting go
Is necessary for my healing heart to grow
Oh, oh, what a feeling
I'm alive and wild and
About to fly through the ceiling
To another world
To another world
Oh, oh, what a feeling
I'm alive and wild and
About to fly through the ceiling
To another world
To another world
The lyrics of Jaren's "Another World" can be interpreted as a call to introspection and self-discovery. The repetition of "turn down the radio" can be seen as a metaphor for turning down the noise of external distractions that prevent us from listening to our inner selves. By "listening with heart and soul," the singer suggests that they are finally paying attention to their emotions and desires, which they may have neglected in the past. They acknowledge that there has been a lack of active listening in their life "so many years ago," which could have led them astray from where they should have been headed.
The chorus of the song is a celebration of this newfound clarity and sense of purpose. The singer feels that they are "alive and wild," almost bursting with energy, ready to take flight to "another world." This world is likely a metaphor for a new state of mind or a new chapter in their life that they are excited to explore. They acknowledge that this change requires them to let go of certain things that may have been holding them back, but they believe it is necessary for their "healing heart to grow."
Overall, "Another World" is a song that encourages listeners to take a step back, tune out external noise, and listen to their own hearts and souls. It celebrates the power of inner exploration and the transformative potential of embracing change.

Turn down the radio
Let's lessen the noise around us and find direction in silence
Let's let this silence tell us where to go
Let's use the absence of sound to guide us to our destination
Listen with heart and soul
Pay attention intently and with sensitivity
Like I should have done so many years ago
I regret not listening with heart and soul before
Oh, oh, what a feeling
Feeling ecstatic and exhilarated
I'm alive and wild and
I feel alive and uninhibited
About to fly through the ceiling
I'm about to experience something amazing and unexpected
To another world
To a new and exciting place
I live in a stereo
I used to live confined in a particular way of life
Now that I journey with an open soul
Now that I'm open to new experiences and ways of life
And all of the letting go
By releasing the things that held me back
Is necessary for my healing heart to grow
I need to let go of the past to heal and move forward
Oh, oh, what a feeling
Feeling ecstatic and exhilarated
I'm alive and wild and
I feel alive and uninhibited
About to fly through the ceiling
I'm about to experience something amazing and unexpected
To another world
To a new and exciting place
