A beautiful ruin is a woman that has been damaged by a man and transformed into a forgiving beautiful woman. A woman that accepted what she couldn't change and grew from her experiences.
Her lyrics are so sad, she speaks of how her father was never around and then she finds a partner that was suppose to love, protect and fill that space... but he never did. I love the way she writes and sings her lyrics. It’s truely sung from the heart.
I hate to sound like a hater but her music just don't hit the same anymore. It's like she used to be a Poet but now she's just any other Alternative RnB Industry clone
Each one of her old songs (this one included) used to be like an intimate portrait of her life and sum of experiences, often shedding light on how her decisions changed her as a person or how she learned to understand her shortcomings. Now her music is just like she makes it for the sake of it. Don't get me wrong it's still decent music but I can't be the only one who can notice the difference.
same. My favorites are jukai, remember, beautiful ruin, comfort inn ending, speak, and b's & h's. all of her music is beautiful, healing, and relatable.
I just found out I have been autistic living in a typical world without any accommodations. This world completely tarnished my self esteem and distorted any sense of self I had. I am picking up the pieces and learning to live in my new world. Please be kind to others, you know not their struggles or anxieties. ❤
anyone else miss when jhene made music like this? i mean nothing bad happened and her music evolved but damn... this really brings me wholesome nostalgia. i discovered this song years ago and this song brings me vivid memories of the past ):
I really did fall in love with Jhene 😩😍 she is so rare. Her voice always puts my mind at peace; I listen to her for hours on a daily. She really helps me thru the day. My only escape ✨
She literally is talking about how she never knew love because of her parents but this man knows live because of his wife and child like 🥺 this song is so beautiful and so real
this song is such a masterpiece im so mad its not on apple music or spotify :( ughhh i love everything about this song from the guitars to the melodies and her voice not to mention the lyricsss
Narad Tevari you got it no matter what my love. Always believe and be strong. Sometimes thing d ont always go the right way as we expect it to but we just have to learn from it and grow from it.
Listening to her songs is really helping me get thru the sadness of being single and finally ending being in a toxic relationship n wasting 5 years of my life. I’m 34 n I have no kids, and I’ve been so down on myself... wondering if I did the right thing by letting him go. I’m not interested in having to do this “new age dating “ and just pray I can meet a man who is my soulmate n wants the same things in life as I do. But for now I will be single n love myself
i hope you were sucessful similar situation just recently happed to me but he wasn't toxic he was lost mind body and spirit some where along the lines the love could and would not allow us to hold on any more i have been grieving many years now learning to love myself while he looked to find someone else he never could have been alone i feel so sad knowing that he moved on and im stuck and single hoping that one day i will find my love in the mean time it hurts trying to forget him
she's just a breath of fresh air. she is the type of singer you can just lost in the song and who can bring you peace💜💜💜 love her and I'm just a huge fan of her music💞😘
+Peace B yeah I don't compare artists with others. I feel like all artists bring different sound and make you feel different things but another artist I also like is Tori Kelly, her voice is so beautiful and she makes you feel something in her music. she gives me goosebumps but yeah they're different singers but Jhene I love her so much for the peace and calmness she gives and yeah it's got a nice tone to it too
This hits home 💯. 7 years later I’m listening to this song and I truly feel her words and acknowledge the meaning of Beautiful Ruin 🙏🏽. Thank you Jhene Aiko You’re a Blessing ✨
I remember listening to this song going through a rough breakup 7 years ago. The memories lol!!! I’m not even the same person anymore. Jhene got me through so many tough times lol
First verse was crazy "The day you came inside, I felt brand new So what am I to do now? Well you don't have to say it Cause I can read your mind You do not have to stay here If you don't have the time" 🤔 damn
I found this song and new balance 5 years ago. They were posted with a white background, a picture of her, and it said vevo. Or something. I love this song its so peaceful. It use to make me cry. It’s so relatable. It eases me now that ive come to terms with my scars.
I’m happy this song made its way back to me again. As a teenager, I would listen to this song all the time because it related to my situations growing up. Now as an adult, it relates even more
Why does this song always make me cry, I feel so emotional listening to her. Such a deep song but so peaceful at the same time. This song makes me feel grateful for what I have in life
Every time she sings , it sounds like heaven..it's so soothing and peaceful. She has such a good vibe and spirit.. Very soulful song. A sound like no other.... Beautiful ! 😍
When I put her on it's like the whole world slows down and begin to move in slow motion and all I hear is her voice and it puts me in pure peace like I'm floating in the clouds ..
my favourite song. every woman can relate to this song in one way or another. jhené truly is an angel sent from heaven. whenever im going through it, her music calms me. thank you jhené. 👼🏽🌨🖤
i dont think people really realise how deep this song is shes talking about s a womans broken heart from s guy she thought was the right for her but then he ruind her in the end she got a broken heart ps a broken heart is what a woman or man fear the most
Jeremy Manongdo i think she cld always b talking about how she was played. She says"u alrdy knew love, from a beautiful woman, and ur beautiful child. Left me in beautiful ruins, so i think i shld just walk away"
Jeremy Manongdo you are so RIGHT. And one will only hope and pray the next who tries to come in doesn’t scratch on the wounds that tried to heal from the last! I’m speaking from experience.
I remember Like lightning to the heart, I saw things clearer The day you came inside, I felt brand new So what am I to do now? Well you don't have to say it Cuz I can read your mind You do not have to stay here If you don't have the time And if you muust go, just know I gave you my whole world Trusted & loved you, must've been cuz I'm a crazy girl Yeah you really took things too far... And there are some things that you should know My mama was a gypsy My daddy was a rollin' stone I wonder did he miss me.... cuz he was never home So I thought you would, I thought you could be the one I never really knew love So I thought you would, I thought you could be the one But you already knew love From a beautiful woman & your beautiful child Left me in beautiful ruins, instead of pullin' me out So I think I should, I think I'll just walk away From the beautiful moments we made From the beautiful ruins you made here What a beautiful woman you've made of me
In 2017 when I use to play this song and tears we’re rolling down. Such 😢a sad and nice feeling this song gave us. It was beautiful and still will always be. ❤❤
this song really makes me feel great inside I have a baby on the way his father isn't very sure what he wants to do n I feel bad BC I don't want my baby to be without a father but after I heard this song I feel like I have hope being alone ❤👶🌌
First listened to this song on DJ Finesse's compilation called Xclusive R&B volume 45 and been looking for the song on iTunes. The voice is seductive and the music is awesome. A great song.
A beautiful ruin is a woman that has been damaged by a man and transformed into a forgiving beautiful woman. A woman that accepted what she couldn't change and grew from her experiences.

@@tjones7915 word , that last album still didn’t get a full listen yet . She needs to break up with big Sean 🥺
Her most underrated song idc. This was always one of my favorite songs by her and her song called “remember” their both so genuine and reflective
This is my favorite by her... totally underrated
facts!
agreed! 💜
same. My favorites are jukai, remember, beautiful ruin, comfort inn ending, speak, and b's & h's. all of her music is beautiful, healing, and relatable.
the only reason why its underrated is because not that many people have heard it because you can't listen to it streaming platforms
Possibly the only person on this earth that puts me at peace.
Took the words right out of my mouth
same girl 😍
agree her voice is a fresh breathe for this music
GeminiBarbz yessss!!!!!!😍

I know this was 3 years ago but I hope you’ve found happiness and healing in the time since. ❤

A blunt, deep thought and this song..... What more can i ask for?
One of my favorite songs by you jhene ! Brings tears and calm to my soul , every time I listen ..
First verse was crazy
"The day you came inside, I felt brand new
So what am I to do now?
Well you don't have to say it
Cause I can read your mind
You do not have to stay here
If you don't have the time" 🤔 damn
She speaks about love someone (feel brand new inside), but know that he dont want stay with her anymore....
I found this song and new balance 5 years ago. They were posted with a white background, a picture of her, and it said vevo. Or something. I love this song its so peaceful. It use to make me cry. It’s so relatable. It eases me now that ive come to terms with my scars.

Why does this song always make me cry, I feel so emotional listening to her. Such a deep song but so peaceful at the same time. This song makes me feel grateful for what I have in life
Her voice is indescribable, no words will ever be suitable. It's some kind of effortless, it's just some kind of pure that I can't explain...
this song...so lyrical..I can really relate to jhene alot...and she's a Pisces and I'm a scorpio
Exquisite Lyric same
It’s the Water
Me too scorpio.🎶🎤

Jeremy Manongdo i think she cld always b talking about how she was played. She says"u alrdy knew love, from a beautiful woman, and ur beautiful child. Left me in beautiful ruins, so i think i shld just walk away"
LizzAngelus yeah great reply :)
Omg
Jeremy Manongdo you are so RIGHT. And one will only hope and pray the next who tries to come in doesn’t scratch on the wounds that tried to heal from the last! I’m speaking from experience.
Its even deeper than that still... all the heart break was the making of her... 'what a beautiful woman you made of me....'
her vibe is so chill. I keep her on repeat everyday all day. I be on cloud 9 💤
Jhene voice is pure and soothing
my vibe in a voice. so chill and refreshing. the beat is always Poppin.
Did you see that this track is getting some great radio support on GirlPower Radio in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Still brings tears to my eyes 😢
Her vibe is amazing 💕
On REPEAT 🙌🏽😍😍 thanks soundcloud for this beautiful discovery 💕❤️
The part where she says her daddy was never home gets me every time
The first jhene song I fell in love with - hope she makes more tracks like this
I remember
Like lightning to the heart, I saw things clearer
The day you came inside, I felt brand new
So what am I to do now?
Well you don't have to say it
Cuz I can read your mind
You do not have to stay here
If you don't have the time
And if you muust go, just know I gave you my whole world
Trusted & loved you, must've been cuz I'm a crazy girl
Yeah you really took things too far...
And there are some things that you should know
My mama was a gypsy
My daddy was a rollin' stone
I wonder did he miss me.... cuz he was never home
So I thought you would, I thought you could be the one
I never really knew love
So I thought you would, I thought you could be the one
But you already knew love
From a beautiful woman & your beautiful child
Left me in beautiful ruins, instead of pullin' me out
So I think I should, I think I'll just walk away
From the beautiful moments we made
From the beautiful ruins you made here
What a beautiful woman you've made of me
I remeberrrrrrrr! I love the way Jhene Aiko starts all her songs and especially how softly she sings, i be thinking shes singing to me! lol
My momma was a gypsy my daddy was a rolling stone, I wonder did he miss me!!! Cause he was never home. Beautiful Poet She Is
That beautiful run at 3:23 tho 😍😍 she is everything
In 2017 when I use to play this song and tears we’re rolling down. Such 😢a sad and nice feeling this song gave us. It was beautiful and still will always be. ❤❤
I hope she puts this on streaming platforms too 😭
Seriously in this same situation at the moment 😔 this song speaks to my soul man..
your words speak to me jhene , i could listen to this particular song all day. Music is life
Best Jhene Aiko song ever am still listening in 2020 damn I love the guitars and bass..Makes me want to be on an island alone.lol😁
Jhene has gotten me through difficult days and easy nights. Her voice is angelic poetry
Still listen to this song til this day ❤❤❤❤
