It is: "I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea In a thousand people I do not know But really they are no different from me They all have passion They all have fear They all have intense confusion And no sweet moments that are clear They all have aspirations High hopes and dreams And are really that alone like me" Peace.

Remeber her song that made us who we are...Every Day Angels. "I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way" I don't think we have to worry about her losing her sensitivity. She may try new things and I think she is entitled. Remember who and what we are. I am reminded of a quote "I like to believe the best in everybody, it save so much time." I have had a few personal experiences with Jewel and I know that she values her privacy (as much as I would) as well as loves her fans. One day recently my friend and I were out at Pacific Beach's Crystal Pier studying. My friend had to go to the restroom and who do you think she bumped into on the way back? Jewel was with a friend so she didn't was to keep her longer than to say hello. When I found out she was standing only a few yard away I wanted to go say hi, but I knew she was there for privacy so I left her alone. Now, who do you think gave my friend a call at work a few days later to say hello? Yep, Jewel. And do you know what? She thanked her for giving her her privacy and then proceeded to sing a song on her boss's voicemail for her. See, we all get little gifts in return for doing the right thing. (As Adrian pointed out) Jewel didn't forget about her. She is still the same sweet person we all love and respect. Change is good if it makes her happy. It doesn't mean she loves us any less. I will love her no matter what she chooses to do because she reminds me of the greatest gift we have to offer...love and kindness. I don't think she has lost any of that. That's all.

How's it goin? Does anyone know if there will be another Jewelstock? I wasn't around for the last one but I'd really like to attend one. I doubt there will be now that Jewel has reached "superstar status" but oh well, it's just a thought. I don't care what anyone says about how Jewel has changed (change isn't bad, it's normal). I still consider this woman to be one of my idols. I greatly admire and respect her and I hope one day to meet her. Also, this is very doubtful too, but is there any chance that FCS may be a double album since Jewel has so many unreleased songs? Maybe I'm dumb and this has already been talked about or confirmed or something. I dunno. I guess not considering she probly wouldn't have time since she's putting out a book and starring in a movie. Does anyone know if Jewel will be performing in Lilith Fair '98? I hope so. Last year's Lilith was the bomb!!! Well, I guess that's it for now. Take care y'all. Peace. The Poetic Angel ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 05 Feb 1998 20:03:34 -0600 From: BrianBC Subject: Jewel line I felt compelled to respond to the post about favorite line from a song; I think it's one of the better threads I've seen, not to discount any of the other recent ones, which have also been positive overall. 1000 Miles Away is one of my favorite songs, so logically it would come from that one. "Sunshine is golden I feel like my car, a little rundown, a little beat up, maybe just a little green. Maybe it's not that dream, maybe it's my starter, maybe my heart's too weak. There's just this feeling, thought I had to get going, got too scared got too big said girl got's to get out of here and now, I don't know how to get home." A close second is from Summer Home in Your Arms: "You feel so familiar as you get into bed, cigarette smoke halo around your head. When you lean over and kiss me so sweet I could lay with you like this for hours, hours, and hours..."

Somebody who gave a damn. Somebody more like myself." "Foolish Games" This is my favorite line for a couple reasons: One- I put so much faith in my first love and he turned out to not care, ect... and Two- A while ago I moved and I met various people, each time thinking "This person seems like someone I can identify with." and each time they turned out to be somebody totally different then I thought.

Can't say why I like it exactly. :) Also love the way she sings "I'm just a real small man with a real big car" from Race Car Driver. Really cute. :) Subash ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 02:23:30 -0500 (EST) From: Joseph Chou Subject: a couple of questions ... etc Hi, everyone, A little while ago someone posted: " ... I'm losing faith in Jewel ... " etc, and the next day, " ... I'm a diehard fan again! Jewel forever! ... " or something to that effect. So what does "diehard fan" mean?? I'm a little confused. On the issue of "Jewelstock II", I again am a little confused about how such a concert will make Jewel look like some capitalitic (sic) fascist elitist bitch. (ok, so I'm a little biased since I'd love to attend such an occasion :). I believe freenets are available in many city libraries .. if anything, charging $100+ for tickets to her concerts may seem a little capitalistic. Besides, didn't she perform at the Nobel prize ceremony last December?? Funny how she doesn't seem like a elitist to me :) what's the deal with fans losing faith anyways?? if anything, it's Jewel who has lost faith in the fans. She shared with us the many wonderful stories, and a beautiful vision of the world. What did she get in return?? drunken people talking during performances and others who only want to hear her yodel (or FG)... I wouldn't be surprised if she's lost some desire to perform music. and finally, for those who think that because we bought Jewel's album, we have the right to demand such and such of her, just remember that we bought "pieces of YOU", not pieces of her.

But after looking through the lyrics, I simply could not choose a favorite line based on the poetic value. When I thought about it a little more, I realized that my favorite line would actually come from FG. The line "Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you, You loved Mozart...." seems like a strange choice given all of the wonderful options Jewel has provided. However, everytime I hear this song, I listen specifically for this line. When I first started listening to Jewel I read about her appreciation of Baroque, and I have always remembered this line. I think it just illustrates her insight and her passion for music. Ron angle angel ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Feb 1998 18:33:25 -0500 From: "Seth D.

I was starting to feel disillusioned about this list. I was wondering what happened to the group of people who were special and understood the way Jewel affects people-- for some reason, she just... makes you think about things or something. I wrote a post yesterday about the many complaints on the list...I think the reason for them is that people just don't understand Jewel in the same way I do, or the way I can tell a lot of you guys do. I was looking at some Jewel sites today and I found one I think that everyone else who is feeling disillusioned on this list should see. Unfortunately, I forgot the address! Aaaah! It was called "Soda Magazine" or something and I got to it from a link from a link from Adrian du Plessis's story about Jewel and music...which was amazing. Adrian's article and the interview with Jewel (which was from 1996) made me realize why I liked Jewel so much in the first place. If someone out there knows the address I no longer have...could they mail it to the list... please? Thanks... * Jewel list moderator addition: the URL for the site is: http://www.sodamag.com * and I'm sorry if this post sounds discombobulated... but my mood has just improved a great deal. Reading those things made me feel better about Jewel....and I feel a whole lot more optimistic. I think that's definitely a good feeling. Sarah p.s. to all the people who emailed me about my other post, agreeing with me...Thank You! I was thinking, if anything, I would get flamed. ..and I didn't at all!

Well, I only know POY (so far, but not for long, thanks to some nice EDA's that are sending me some angelfood) but there are three phrases that strike me, one has already been mentioned "They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow.... " I love this phrase, especially how she says "yeeeeeeeelow". Then I also love from that same song how she refers to "oil streaked daisies" and "water coloured roses" I think it was clever how she mixed art terms into descriptions of flowers. Then I love how in another song she says "your words were my freedom...". Something about the way she sings this line brings a tear to my eye, I can't say why, it just does. I thought that maybe another new thread could be "What were the things (qualities) that first struck you about Jewel? When I first saw and heard Jewel, two things struck me...that I had never heard someone with such a vocal range before. She could go to sounding like a sweet little girl, to a raspy Melissa Etheridgeish powerful note to a low almost Elvis Presley like note (especially in WWSYS), and she can hit really high notes. I thought wow, this girl can sing!!! The other thing was her facial expressions, the way her lip curls and she kind of scrunches her face. It seemed so different, so simple, cute and pure, amost wistful. Anyway, that's all for now.
