Hello Everyone, I think I'll take a few moments now to respond to this thread, as I think it's a wonderful idea. (I just hope I can put my thoughts down without it turning into a book instead of a post.) Keep in mind that I have only heard one or two songs that are not on POY, and don't know them well enough to consider in this responce. So here we go. To start with, let's look at the song that I relate to the most... I probably have to go with Painters here. I've spent a lot of wonderful time with my grandmother over the last year, with more quality time of just talking and sharing than we've had in many years. She and my grandfather owned a photography studio and squeaked by for several years doing what they loved with the person they loved, not worrying about anything else until he needed to get a "regular" job to support the growing family. He died a couple of years before I was born, but all my life I have reminded her of him in my personality and way of thinking, and now that I'm older, in my appearance as well. She loves telling me stories about him and the way they lived life, especially during those years before the studio closed, and she always enourages me to stick with my own art and photography even when my finances have me leaning towards a 9 to 5 job that would forsake my passion. I will always love her for this, and love the song that much more for it's reflection of them. Now for the song that reminds me the most of myself, it seems to be a tie between Little Sister and WWSYS. I went from highschool straight into college for an Engineering Major, and dropped it in less than a year realizing that it was the wrong path for me because it lead away from art, and the money wasn't worth that. I had the right idea, but then I got sucked down into a couple of years where I did just enough to get by in life, not pursuing any of my art, and spending too much time around both drugs and drinking. Somehow those became what I thought was important to me, but when I looked at myself I never liked what I saw anymore. (Enter Jewel, stage right) Listening to a friend's CD, found myself playing Little Sister and WWSYS alternately over and over for a whole afternoon. I knew a while before that I had gone off track, but I couldn't seem to find my way back until I paid attention to that sweet passion filled voice and what it had to say. I got a little help from family and friends, and mostly from myself, and now I can look in the mirror again and know that I love the person I see there. Anyhow, sorry that got a little bit long, but thank you for reading it. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend... Share a smile with a stranger, and a hug with someone you love...

I would just like to send out a round of applause to the extremely prolific Sean Hooks, for his profound insight and deeply rooted opinions. I encourage the rest of you to send out more applause and show him our appreciation! Also, I think Mr. Hooks should introduce himself (again, if he has already) to the list so we all know who we're reading from...

Jewel is not overweight. women are blessed with beautiful curvy fleshy bodies. Jewel should be praised for her appearance. she is sending such a powerful important message to young girls, every one actually. you don't have to weigh 100 pounds to be beautiful. beauty comes in so many shapes and sizes and it's really refreshing to see Jewel proudly proving that.
