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
Unforgivable
Jaren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your unrelenting spark, it always put a fire in me
You used to say I'm the one
The only ray of sun you could touch without a fear of burning
Well, you used to try to please me
Yeah, you used to try to please me
And my world shuts down
But this comes close, I'll have you know
It's just a matter of time
But it ain't over till it's over
But I won't be made a fool
'Cause leaving me the way you did
Was just so unforgivable
Unforgivable, unforgivable
What are you telling her now
While you hold her in your arms, are you pretending she's me?
And just how long will you go on
Before you realize you know she's the one but you're gonna lose her anyway?
Well, you just got there, now you're leaving
You just got there, now you're leaving
Well, it ain't over till it's over
And my world shuts down
But this comes close, I'll have you know
It's just a matter of time
But it ain't over till it's over
But I won't be made a fool
'Cause leaving me the way you did
Was just so unforgivable
Unforgivable, unforgivable
Unforgivable, unforgivable
The lyrics of Jaren's song Unforgivable talk about a breakup where the person being addressed is still asking questions and feeling hurt about how their relationship ended. The first verse speaks about how their partner used to make them feel alive, with their unrelenting spark, and how they were the only one who could touch them without fear of getting burnt. However, this seems to be a distant memory now, and the person is questioning how long their partner will continue pretending their new partner is them.
In the second verse, the tone of the singer turns bitter, questioning how their ex-partner could leave them the way they did, as it was unforgivable. Despite this, the singer is still holding onto the hope that it's not over until it's over and that they won't be made a fool. While it feels like their world is shutting down, it's just a matter of time before they break this stronghold and move on from the pain of the breakup.

Well, you used to try to please me
You used to make an effort to make me happy
Yeah, you used to try to please me

Well, it ain't over till it's over
The situation is not hopeless yet
And my world shuts down
If things truly end between us, it will be devastating for me
But this comes close, I'll have you know
This current situation is almost as bad as it can get
It's just a matter of time
Things are going to fall apart eventually
But I won't be made a fool
I won't let you make a mockery of me
'Cause leaving me the way you did
The way you broke up with me was cruel and unjustified
Was just so unforgivable
Your actions hurt me deeply and are something I cannot forgive
What are you telling her now
What lies are you feeding your new partner to make them feel special?
While you hold her in your arms, are you pretending she's me?
Do you miss me so much that you have to imagine her as me?
And just how long will you go on
How long will you keep up this act?
Before you realize you know she's the one but you're gonna lose her anyway?
Before you realize that she is not me, and you will lose her too?
Well, you just got there, now you're leaving
You are quickly moving onto new relationships, without any regard for how it hurts me
It's just a matter of time
The inevitable end of your new relationships is only a matter of time
Unforgivable, unforgivable
Your actions are unforgivable and have caused me great pain

Never said this would be easy

You just got there now you're leaving
Your sweet nothings are deceiving
Well it ain't over till it's over
And my world shuts down
But this comes close, I'll have you know
It's just a matter of time
But it ain't over till it's over
But I won't be made a fool
Cuz leaving me the way you did was just so
Unforgivable.

Perfect combination between vocals, sound, emotion, culmination. In 30 years that song will still be a great hit, one of the few dance hits that will live forever.
