Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

I think I've heard this song before, but today listening to a cover done on Glee (Season 2, Episode 20 "Prom Queen") it caught my attention.

The owner of this song is Christina Perri, an american singer from Philadelphia.
Perri's song Jar of Hearts was featured on So You Think You Can Dance during the June 30, 2010 show. And after that she perfomed it live on the same show and signed with Atlantic Records, on July 2010.


Christina Perri said:
I go to all these places, and I've been fortunate enough to meet a lot of people who like the song and to play it for them. They come up to me, and it's not like they come up and they're like, 'This song about the sunshine and being on the beach all day. I love that song and I totally relate!' They're literally like, crying, and some of them are like, 'I've just gone through a divorce, and this song made me'... but that's normally the end of that sentence or story. [Then] it's always like, 'I have hope now,' or 'I've gained strength from this.' Even though it's really a kind of bizarre, sad, heart-wrenching topic, I feel like the main theme in the song, if you listen, is about getting stronger and not going back to that person that keeps breaking your heart. It's a weird one, but I like the fact that people end up feeling stronger after they hear it.


This is a song about a guy she once dated that was a heartbreaker.

Perri's debut album is titled Lovestrong. and was released on May 10, 2011. It follows the release of Arms, its lead single, released on March 15.

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all thats waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most


I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
