Music World: Jamiroquai – Corner Of The Earth

by Michael Tieso on December 23, 2008

For our first song, I selected Jamiroquai -- Corner Of The Earth. Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa.
The calming sounds and the enchanting lyrics of this song can remind you of your last perfect place. Perhaps you were sitting on the beaches of New Zealand looking into it’s magnificent waters. This song can defiantly touch many travelers alike feeling at ease with earth.

Listening to this song, what pleasant travel memory comes to mind?

Little darlin’ don’t you see the sun is shining
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
From death until rebirth

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
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
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

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

  • good song! im looking forward to more music topics from you :)
  • Great song! My most recent "corner of the earth" experience was a month-long trip in Argentina. I took an unplanned excursion to Iguazu Falls... here's an excerpt from my blog post:


    Iguazu Falls: A Tropical Playground

    “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” - Henry Miller

    …turning the corner, one of the most jaw-dropping natural wonders revealed itself and I was in awe. Iguazu Falls, nestled in the northeastern portion of Argentina, is a world-class collection of 275 of the most breathtaking waterfalls one could ever see...

    ...It is all at once overwhelming, but in the same sense, calming. Knowing that places like these exist on earth is comforting. Other than a few mud roads and tourist buildings, Iguazu Falls is an untouched jewel.
