How are you doing? I was just looking through Jewel lyrics and I noticed something (by the way- I'm sorry if this is an old thread). What I saw was that Jewel sometimes uses the first line in the song at the end- like in "Satellite" and "Foolish Games". I don't write poetry or songs so I'm not sure if this is a special technique or anything. I remember seeing it in other songs but I don't remember the names. Oh well, I just thought this was kind of interesting. Bye! Jen The Hopelessly Romantic Angel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 19:44:33 -0500 (EST) From: Chatadict2@aol.com Subject: Jewel article in Faces In Pop Dec. 97 Hello everyone, I said earlier I would post the Jewel article out of Dec 97n Faces In Pop so here it is =) At the tender age of 21, Jewel Kilcher has already appeared on the cover of Time magazine, seen her debut album, Pieces Of You, sell over four million copies, and become the most prominent symbol for the growing role of female singer/songwriters within the contemporary music landscape. She has been acknowledged for her insightful lyrics and four octave voice - as well as for her fetching good looks. All-in-all, it's been quite a ride for this very special young woman who hails from the decidedly out-of-the-way wilds of Homer, Alaska. In fact it was her rough-and-tumble Alaskan upbringing (in a home where there was no shower, no television and that was heated only through a near-constantly burning fire) that filled young Jewel with many of the life perspectives that were later to fill her songs with their striking lyrical images. It was a life with few luxuries, where making the morning walk to the outhouse - through two feet of snow - was a necessary fact-of-life. But rather than becoming angry, frustrated or bitter because of her childhood experiences, Jewel grew to love both the rugged Alaskan landscape and her spartan lifestyle. Her parents, who were both songwriters and singers, provided a rich environment for knowledge - as well as a love for the arts. From her earliest days, Jewel's mother used to take time each day to teach her and her two siblings all she knew about art, poetry and music - all of which remain vital parts of Jewels' day-to-day psyche. It was from her original love of poetry that Jewel's music began to take root. "Through those lessons from my mother I was given a tool," she said. "After my parents got divorced, I started writing poetry a lot because I didn't always know how to express myself. That to me is the real beauty of writing. It makes you more intimate with yourself." But how does one make it from the wilds of Homer to winning Grammy Awards? For Jewel that long and tangled journey started when she won a vocal scholarship to attend Michigan's Fine Arts Academy. Moving away from Alaska in her early teens was a traumatic time for Jewel because it exposed her to the "real word" for the first time in her young life. But the experience also provided her with the outlet she had been craving from the first moment she discovered her love of music. Once she reached Michigan, Jewel nmever looked back. "My two years there were a turning point," she said. "I saw a bigger world. I immersed myself in everything - drama, dance, sculpture, music. I imagine I was 16 or 17, during my senior year at Interlochen that I first started studying guitar and getting serious about my songwriting." After graduation, however, instead of jumping into the fray of trying to land a record contract - or at least test her music in a more competitive environment, Jewel decided to take the path of least resistance. Rather than moving to an industry hub like Los Angeles or New York, she drove her van out to San Diego and camped out for a period of six months. With no income and no responsibilities, Jewel lived a simple life that reminded her of her Alaskan upbringing. But instead of waking up to freezing temperatures day-after-day, in sunny So Cal, she could swim, relax, write poems and work on her music to her heart's content. She began hanging out in "hip" local coffee shops where she would sing her songs for other aspiring young musicians - until the day the coffee store owner recognized Jewel's talent and offered her a job singing once a week in his "club". "Until I started finding my direction, my time in San Diego was a difficult time for me," Jewel said. "I felt a lot of social pressure to figure out what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I had no desire to go to college. But I also felt no peace in traveling or just bumming around. I got a number of dead-end jobs...got fired a couple of times. I was frightened and a little depressed. The idea of spending my life in a 9-5 job made me feel trapped and hopeless." The coffee shop gig proved to be a blessing for Jewel for not only did it provide for some much-needed pocket change, it also finally gave her a clear career direction. Her little shows became hot-ticket items in San Diego, with the intimate coffee shop environs being packed beyond capacity on the nights when Jewel was scheduled to perform. Even the local media began to pick up on the fast-growing Jewel phenomenon, labelling her voice as "crystalline" and "beautiful." It wasn't long before such praise reached the ears of record industry powers a few miles up the coast in L.A. Within two months label executives began pounding on her van door, hoping to get her to sign a major label deal. "I was so surprised when I started to hear from record labels," she said. "My first reaction was one of relief - that I might be able to do something I really enjoyed and get paid for it. My next reaction was one of shock - that people would actually hear my music." Hear her music, indeed! In the more than two years that have now passed since Jewel's debut disc, Pieces Of You, first became available, that effort has become one of the most successful - and important - albums of the late '90s. Following a relatively slow start, the disc began building comercial momentum that saw it pass the quintuple platinum sales level in late '97 - and it's a phenomenon that shows no sign of slowing down at any point in the near future. For many Jewel's chart-topping success has signalled the welcomed return of the singer/songwriter - performes with insight and passion whose effort stand in sharp contrast to the more blatant energies of other rock genres. Her songs such as "Who Will Save Your Soul" have won countless industry awards and turned Jewel into an international phenonemen. But for this still naive young miss from Alaska, each day continues to bring new and amazing experiences to her doorstep. "I wake up each day and wonder what wonderful thing is ging to happen next," she said. "It's all been like a wonderful dream. But if it is a dream, I hope I never wake up."

It just goes to show this was Jewel's year. The 23-year-old singer/songwriter had been fairly ubiquitrous since her spring 1995 debut album, Pieces of You, hit the top of the charts in August 1996. But this summer, she was everywhere: on the radio (with her paean breakup, "You Were Meant for Me:); on the television (MTV, VH1, etc.); headlining one of the summer's hottest tours (Lilith); and on the news-stands (in addition to Time, she graced the covers of Spin and Rolling Stone). Her omnipresence prompted one backstage reporter at September's MTV Video Music Awards to ask, "Is this all becoming old hat?" In her sweet and whispery voice, Jewel let out a little laugh and a sigh. "No. It just always feels like I'm going to the zoo." What a long, strange stroll past the monkeys it's been. Her trip from Homer, Alaska, to stardom is a well-documented one: performing with her father from the age of 6; living in Alaska, Hawaii and California; waitressing and surviving off of customers' leftovers; and singing in coffeehouses. When Atlantic Records signed her in 1994, Jewel Kilcher was living out of a van in Southern California. No wonder she feels she's been given a second chance at life. "I get to make a living doing something that I love," she says. "At the same time, I think that when I live my passion, people remember their own, so I feel very blessed." Ron Shapiro, senior vice president and general manager of Atlantic, told Rolling Stone, "She has one of the most God-given voices I have ever heard. Even if you don't get the record, even if you don't think it's critically perfect, you can't deny what she does onstage." Plenty of people are getting the record, however. It's already sold 7 million copies. And if the lyrics occasionally sound as if they were written by an angst-filled teen, well, Jewel was as young as 17 when she penned them. Her second album will, for all intents and purposes, be her debut as an adult. When asked what her message is, Jewel responds: "I think that it is becoming increasingly important that we figure out what our dreams are. I think what really separates us from the animals in that we're capable of doing more than just surviving. And it's time that we start demanding that for ourselves." - ----Darcy Lockman ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 15:46:37 PST From: "Michael Bulat" Subject: Eagle feathers Hi EDA's, I'm a Newbie and this is my first post. I just wanted to share an interesting story I found that related to the posts about Jewel wearing an eagle feather. I found it at http://www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/ __ "The Eagle Feather by Randy Macey, Mohawk When the world was new, the Creator made all the birds. He colored their feathers like a bouquet of flowers. The Creator then gave each a distinct song to sing. The Creator instructed the birds to greet each new day with a chorus of their songs. Of all the birds, our Creator chose the Eagle to be the leader. The Eagle flies the highest and sees the furthest of all creatures. The Eagle is a messenger to the Creator. During the Four Sacred Rituals we will wear an Eagle Feather in our hair. To wear or to hold the Eagle Feather causes our Creator to take immediate notice. With the Eagle Feather the Creator is honored in the highest. When one recieves an Eagle Feather that person is being acknowledged with gratitude, with love, and with ultimate respect. That feather must have sacred tobacco burnt for it. In this way the Eagle and the Creator are notified of the name of the new Eagle Feather Holder. The holder of the Eagle Feather must ensure that anything that changes the natural state of ones mind (Alcohol and Drugs) must never come in contact with the sacred Eagle Feather. The keeper of the feather will make a little home where the feather will be kept. The Eagle feather must be fed. You feed the Eagle Feather by holding or wearing the feather at sacred ceremonies. By doing this the Eagle Feather is recharged with sacred energy. Never abuse, never disrespect, and never contaminate your Eagle Feather. The Mohawk man will have three Eagle Feathers standing straight up on his Kahstowa (feather hat)." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 17:24:30 PST From: "Allison LaNeave" Subject: Re: jewel-digest V2 #901 I think Jewel has a great passion for people in pain.
