I have returned, as of around 10 minutes ago, from seeing Jewel in Wellington (New Zealand). I don't really have much to say, as no doubt other people will have better recollections than mine, but I have a _Question_, at least: Does anyone know the origin of Steve Poltz's song, "Ten Chances"? I seem to have heard it before, though I can't remember where. Perhaps I am just suffering deja vu. Edmund. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 12:53:10 +0100 From: "alx" Subject: who will save your soul lyrics Hi Just need some help (again) about lyrics on " who will save your soul" on the original album some phrases seem to be missing : People living their lives for you on TV They say they're better than you and you agree * ???? * Another burger, another hot dog, some fries A wish in the well, hope your health don't go to hell, well Does someone knows where to find the complete lyrics??? bye alx Ma page Jewel: http://members.tripod.com/~JewelWorld/ Ma page Björk: http://come.to/alx_ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 12:32:15 +0100 From: "Roel Cobben" Subject: Japanese Down So Long single Hey EDAs, Can I anybody tell me what songs are on the Japanese edition of the Down So Long single?

I'm in the draw to meet Jewel backstage!!! Hey Angels, you know that radio competition I was talking about where someone gets the chance to meet Jewel backstage after monday's concert??? well I just got into the draw!!! had to twist the guy's arm though - he was supposed to give me movie tickets or something... :-) anyway, the draw's on monday so I'll let you know if I manage to win... I think I've only got like a one in 30 chance or something... but I guess that's better than no chance at all... oh yeah, she's arriving at the airport tomorrow too so hopefully I'll get to meet her there too!!! :-) Kim Lees Your New Zealand Angel Standing By ICQ# 9270797 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ check out Kim's JEWEL Shrine... http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Stadium/7485/jewel.html includes a Real Audio section of over 100 songs - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "They always say, 'Hey, great kid, have a nice day Happy birthday, have a great day day' But it's all just fake anyway They need an excuse" Jewel Kilcher - "Need An Excuse" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 21:53:58 +1300 From: "Kim Lees" Subject: The "Fat Boy" Story Hey Angels, since mentioning it in one of my posts I've had a few angels asking me about the "Fat Boy" story so I've transcribed it for the benefit of those who haven't heard it... many of you already know it though, so you may as well just skip to the next post... :-) OK, this is taken from the second night of JewelStock... she used to tell this story practically every time she played it (back in the days it was usually referred to as "Fragile Flame") so I guess she'll be telling it on this latest tour but I won't know for another 2 days!!! so anyway, here goes: "I grew up with a sauna - we didn't have running water or a shower so we had a sauna. And every Sunday night all the neighbours would come and there was a big pottle of dinner and we'd take saunas together. And there was this little boy named Edward and he helped me weed that potato patch listening to Ella Fitzgerald over and over. And he just recently killed himself back in Alaska and next to him was a note saying that he didn't think anybody would ever love him cos he was fat. And I thought what an incredibly sad thing to think you could actually be denied something like that in your life. I figure suicides happen in small ways, little cruelties add up every day. So I wrote this for him as kind of a eulogy..." I hope to soon have Real Audio files of stories such as this one on my site soon so you'll be able to hear them too... :-) Kim Lees Your New Zealand Angel Standing By ICQ# 9270797 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ check out Kim's JEWEL Shrine... http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Stadium/7485/jewel.html includes a Real Audio section of over 100 songs - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "They always say, 'Hey, great kid, have a nice day Happy birthday, have a great day day' But it's all just fake anyway They need an excuse" Jewel Kilcher - "Need An Excuse" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 08:15:44 -0500 From: Lisa A Klecanda Subject: From Atlantic Records--Spew *JEWEL ANNOUNCES DATES FOR EUROPEAN LEG OF HER WORLD TOUR* Jewel, whose current world tour finds her in Australia at the moment, has announced the itinerary for the European leg of the tour, to begin in Belfast on May 1st and wrap up in Barcelona on June 6th.

This prompted quite a few emails to me from American fans concerned at the "seemingly high" prices compared to the webstore/catalogue. There's a good reason for this! To those who wrote me & others concerned by that post, please realize that American dollars & Australian/New Zealand dollars are NOT THE SAME DOLLARS. Although it fluctuates, the current exchange rate is one US dollar = 0.6304 Aus/NZ dollars. So...that means a little less than twice as many Australian/NZ dollars (compared to US dollars) per item. Am I making sence? Hope so.... Have a great weekend, MrBB ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 14:42:13 -0600 (CST) From: Julie E Graham Subject: Jewel/Wizard of Oz video found Hi Angels, I was in Nashville on business last night. I stopped by Tower Records, and I found a copy of "Wizard of Oz: Dreams Come True". I was so happy because I've been looking for it forever. ;) If there are any other angels in the Nashville area, Tower had one more copy that I saw. The price wasn't bad either; $14.02 with tax.

I was sitting in the front row and it was just me a nd Jewel, she looked at me a couple of times, i know she really did, got out of the spot light to see who was singing so badly to YWMFM, it was only me and my mate in the fornt row singing, the crowd was rather quiet. Oh well. Poltzie's star wars song was awesome. Jewel didn't read any poetry, i wish she had but she played all the good songs from spirit and PoY, she even played cold song. oh and her mother Nedra, sang little bird at the end of the set. All in all it was an awesome night. I tried to goto the Parkroyal to see if i can bump into Jewel for some signings, but i bumped into Poltzie, got a photo with him, the bass player, and the everything player and the keyboard player, got signatures and photos of them all, but no JEWEL!!!!!! :-((((( I am happy that i went and saw her anyways. In case you were wondering, Jewel was wearing this nice glittery grey top that was rather strappy. Leather pants and a leather coat. MAn she was awesome. Have fun you chch EDA's and the rest of ya, i most certainly did!!!!

You'll see right away why I thought you all might be interested in it... - -- Untitled by Emynd the Living Thought Saved from Myself By Jewel How often I've cried out in silent tongue to be saved from myself in the middle of the night too afraid to move horrified the answer may be beyond the capability of my own two hands so small (no one should feel this alone) Aright ummm... what the hell is life? Perhaps I'm just a deranged individual but I dunno... Life is a more frightening concept to me then death. I can't count the nights where I'd lay in my bed shivering with a massive lump in my throat with the only comforting thoughts being those of love. It's crazy. The whole concept of existence just astounds me. Let's break this down right quick. Let's suppose that there is no afterlife just for argument's purposes. Let's suppose that when you die, you're soul doesn't do shit and we just don't exist anymore. 100% non-existence. Ok. That sounds kind of scary doesn't it? But, doesn't it sound more reasonable then existence? Is existence not the most fucked up puzzle ever? I mean, non-existence is such a more feasible concept to grasp then actual existence. Just pondering the thought of existence overwhelms me to a degree that I can't even begin to describe. Perhaps Jewel did not mean for it to be interpreted this way, but her poem entitled "Saved from Myself" seems like a clear representation of the frightening aspects of the abstraction known as reality. Her late night fears are parallel to those that I feel when confronted by the uncertainty of existence. The horror she speaks of overwhelms her making her feel so minute, laying incapable of finding an answer spawning a feeling of inequabicle loneliness that "no one should feel." This short poem is a remarkable description of the awe that the mystery of permanence and existence inspire. Sometimes I find myself wondering though, if the answer is actually beyond "the capability of my two hands." I'm not one for backing down from my fears. If there is something that is bugging me (especially emotionally and mentally) I analyze it and break it down until I've reached a clear verdict which I exclaim as my victory. Hence, sometimes I feel that if I peer long enough into this void that existence sparks in my heart, that I will see something that perhaps I wasn't meant to see and learn the 'mystery of life.' I know it sounds like a load of shit... It's naive as hell to believe anything like that to be even remotely true but... shit, I dunno. Sometimes I feel as though I've stumbled into this indescribable emotion on accident and perhaps shows a form of insecurity or even weakness in faith of fate, religion, or anything supernatural or metaphysical. But I'd have to say it's something more then that. I can honestly say that the emotion I've been referring to is easily the most intense of any emotion I've ever felt. Whether it be intense pain, love or the like, I've never felt something so vehement and unwavering; something so profound and furious and just flat out frightening. Perhaps I am just uncomfortable with the thought of death and so the thought of life, which inevitably leads to death, scares me. Perhaps I am just dumbfounded by the "freedom" we might acquire through a sort of pointless existence that has just been a fluke in evolution which has created me as opposed to a divine hand in which I firmly believe in. Perhaps I am just emotionally unstable and the thought of life some how stirs all my emotions into one big passionate amalgam in which I identify with a fright caused directly by existence... then again perhaps none of these are true... ... and then I always come to the same conclusion. None of that shit matters. The fact of the matter is, I am existing. To contemplate why and/or how is not only completely useless, it's simultaneously self destructive in a sense. 1999 is the year of optimism for me. "No negativity in '99!" I guess I gotta listen to Ab and "stop trying to be and just be." Life is a gift. Every emotion is a gift. Regardless if it was given by a God or by a lucky hand in the draw of evolution, it is all a gift and all we really gotta do is be the best humans we can be. So eff it... Life does scare the crud outta me. Death does too. But for me to say that life isn't the best thing that ever happened to me would be a complete lie. I love life... and it's all love. All of it.
