Its such a beautiful song. As well i was wondering if there were any australian EDA's (preferably from melbourne).

I think she is trying to get new inspiration for a new cd and to release later this year a new book which we really will enjoy. But i think this is Jewel's most quiet period of her career since her breakthrough in 1995. Is Jewel choosing for this appereances break on tv and programmes?? I think Jewel of course did tape Austin city limites and did record the Oxygen show... But the point i wanted to try to make is that Jewel is such a gitted artist on stage that we all would love to see Jewel returning to the concert halls and helps her fans with her music which is truly a wonderful means of help.

I think we have gotten a lot more than should have been expected! Gina EastAngel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 Apr 2000 00:35:15 GMT From: "~* cymbaline *~" Subject: * Re: Jewel's quiet period - new album idea I agree with Gina, it's selfish! IF Jewel is even having a quiet, workless time right now... she deserves a long one. To make up for her endless 7 day a week schedule last year. How would you like to work practically 365 days straight w/out a break? And to solve the new album dilemma... if we absolutely MUST hear a new album, let Jewel still have her "quiet time", and lets all petition to Atlantic asking that the 1996 recordings be released on CD. (note the sarcasm) Jewel has enough money to retire. But she won't. She even said so (I forgot the exact wording). So be patient. You've got many years ahead of you to hear new songs, see more shows, and read more poetry. All it takes is a bit of patience. In the meantime, why not find someone else to obsess over? The music world doesn't revolve around Jewel. And she's not the only talented, inspirational singer. Peace, Love and Happiness, Cymbaline ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 16:37:04 -0800 (PST) From: Juliet Forbes Subject: * Jewel Website Hey all my Angel Babies!

I am a 19-year-old college student from Orlando, Florida. I have mild Cerebral Palsy. I got Cerebral Palsy from brain damage that I suffered as a result of being a premature baby. At birth I weighed 2 pounds 13.5 ounces. Most of the babies in the neonatal unit with me, died. There were many, many times I came very close to dying myself. Since then, I've been in and out of hospitals my entire life. In kindergarten I had an operation that was very new. I was the first person in the state of Florida to have this type of operation done because of this I had to have the operation in New York City, 1200 miles from home. I spent 56 days in the hospital there, during my stay I was shadowed by all 3 local news crews. They even reported from the operating room, I have a video of this- it's kind of weird to see. One reporter named Barabra West went way beyond her duties as a medical reporter she became my friend. Several times over my stay spent time with me without her camera crew, on several occasions she played video games with me in the hotel basement I haven't been able to go back since to New York in over a decade. I'm hoping to be able to go back this summer. I want to do the tourist bit and maybe meet some local EDAs *wink* =) Third grade was the worst year of my life. This was the first time I ever faced harassment for being quote "different". Two months later my parents got divorced so at the age of eight I was dealing with both of these stresses at the same time. The harassment was almost daily for 3 years then it slowly diminished and by high school was almost non-existent. In the summer after my sophomore year I discovered singer named 'Jewel' shortly after I became a member of the Every Day Angels. It has literally changed my life. I have begun writing and am going to learn to play the guitar. I have met the most wonderful people. Jade Dietz, a great singer but she doesn't believe me. Megan, Who loves horses-I'd love to go riding with you. Sarah, she's the first EDA I became close with. I feel like I can trust her completely, she's become my best friend. Then there is Jade- the tiny angel. She's incredible. No one has ever made me feel the way she does. I love her<3. Thanks for reading my ramblings. You guys are awesome Eliot~centralfloridaangel ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 20:20:47 EST From: Jwlfan112@aol.com Subject: * Re: Jewel's quiet period - new album idea Did we not just have this discussion two weeks ago or so? And didn't the same person start it? No offense, but could we please stop the obsession with her starting up again, and just focus on what she has already done for many of our lives.. I posted my message to the list about Jewel saving my life hoping it would spark some inspiration to others to share their stories too.. BTW - thanks to people who responded to my message.. I'm glad y'all could relate to it.. //..scott.. ...a local boy with local scars... man i gotta get outta this town < &@&..http://altern.org/jewellmf..&@& > ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 22:04:33 EST From: "Devin Starr" Subject: * regression without purpose Hey beautiful angel babies.. I hope this finds you all healthy.. and just as a warning.. I dont know where this email is going.. it just is. First of all.. Jewel's little break... I know that there are quite a few singer/writers/musicians out here on the list. And I'm pretty sure I can say that we have all taken breaks from it every now and then.. some as short as a few days, others as long as a few months. There is only so much creating a person can do before the song begins to take control of you. It's not a good feeling. I personally at one time didn't write a word for almost a year. It happens to us all. And we live to write/sing/play again... and so will Jewel.. We just have to wait until she is ready to be heard... So enjoy the old, and welcome the new. Just give it time. And I guess I want to share how I came into jewel.. or how she came into me...k.. Heres my story. The Craft. It all started with the Craft. I loved the movie.. I dont know why exactly.. Real witchcraft is nothing like it.. But I don't kwon.. not important... but under the water was so different from anything that I had ever heard before I linked to it emidiately. but still having no idea who sang it, I listened to it constantly (I had to buy another cd cause my sister apparenly got sick of it and kinda took a hammer to it.. oops.. oh well..) then a few years later came WWSYS... and I really started to jam into it... really getting into jewel (even thought I had no idea she sang under the water) WWSYS came to me at a time that was part of my darkest years. I was going into the full effect of manic depression without knowing what it was. I thought I was going insane. I probably was. I got the album and began to listen to the songs... mostly concentrating on the darker ones, because they seem to know how I felt... I wasn't alone. I had the music. Songs like Pieces of You, and Little Sister and Daddy raged in my head and when I sang them I got some of my pain out without feeling like I needed to hurt myself physically... it was a relief. then... came Jessica. It came at one of those moments that seems like its the soundtrack of your life.. it just fits in that time and place so perfectly. and to be honest that day I had been looking at pill bottles trying to guess how many it would take to die. I took 13 of them. then came Jessica... which literally spoke to me. (my name being Jessica and all... scary..) and I began to think about the song, the lyrics... and I didnt want to put any one thru that. I didnt want my best friend Mike to have to go that.. to feel that loss and pain... so, I took it upon myself to rid my body of the chemicals (Im not going into anymore detail about that.. I have gone far enuf...) the next day I made an appointment to get put on anti-depressants, and to get some councilling. today... Im still alive, still listening to and loving jewel and Im doing better. Im not saying that I am one of the shiney happy people now.. but Im getting there... there are still days that I look at the pill bottle.. but I know that I can beat the pills one day... and Jessica will always be in my head reminding me of what would happen if I ever thought that the pills would beat me. Im not going to let them.

I was listening to one of my tapes and i came across the song " Does anyone still belive in love".I can't believe how much i love it! I was woundering if anyone had the lyrics to it? Or if it is on a web site somewhere? Wait!! i have one more question. I know that it is dumb, but my mom asked me a while ago and it has been bugging me. What is Jewels favoret color? If you can help me please do. Thanks, Caitlin "Call me naive but i believe that your two blue eyes are all i need" ~Jewel~ ( does anyone still believe in love ) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 22:50:16 EST From: Jwlfan112@aol.com Subject: * Re: lyrics and color Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that on Total Request Live, Jewel said that it was white. But she's a woman, it's her prerogative to change her mind.
