Jewel doesn't appear on the official website yet, but that could be because of the last minute confirmation.

Scott wrote: >We, as EDA's, have certain expectations out of Jewel and some think we deserve these expectations for some unknown reason! But one thing you have to realize is that Jewel sings because she wants to and she loves to do so! It's not about the money with Jewel and you should respect that! We shouldn't expect that Jewel sing the same kind of song everyday, that gets old! You all should know this, Jewel makes the majority of her songs from experiences. She sings what she knows! You can't expect her to sing what she doesn't want to or like to or what was already sung! People do change!< I must agree with everything Scott said, but I think we all know that Jewel isn't money motivated!! That's one of the reasons I love her, cause it never was about money, maybe it was about survival at one time, but never to be rich and famous. To all the newbies, I just want to say welcome to one of the kindest lists out there. I'm sure you all will be blown away with all the heart-warming people that you find here, I know I have been more than once!! :-) Corina "Some things are true even if you don't believe in them."

It was that one line that got me- "We are never broken." I don't know what it was about that line, but it touched something in me so very deeply, It made me almost burst into tears. I love the song. I think it's amazing, it's one of Jewel's best-if the not the best, to me… What I love about it is that it puts most of what I believe in into words, and music, and so very beautifully… I am one of those people that are hardly ever depressed, because there was a time in my life that that was all I was-depressed. I hate to look back at it, because it is so different from the way I am today, but the song got me to think about it. I believe it is kindness that matters, because that is what will be left at the end. Not money, not big fancy stuff, just you, and the things you have or haven't done. I'm not a religious person (I'm an atheist) but this song really made me want to thank someone for allowing me to mature as I have, and now be able to help others… I do-and have been for the past three years-doing volunteer work with kids from broken and abusive homes, and I've seen it all, I really have. And now it's like…. I listen to the song, and I know that I am not useless, and that everything I do means something, and that perhaps I was the difference. Don't ever give up.

Hello all :) I thought I might introduce myself. I'm a Jewel fan currently residing in Stillwater, OK. If there is anybody on this list in OK I'd love to know. I got POY about a year ago just after I'd moved into a new apartment in OKC. I had no furniture, one set of dishes, and slept on a mattress on the floor. My alarm clock has a CD player and I sat on the floor, back propped against the wall, smoking cigarettes, and letting my mind wander where it will. I found myself easily spending hours sitting there listening to Jewel and just thinking....I've been hooked ever since. I just purchased Spirit and decided to check the website (now that I have a computer in my Stillwater apartment). I ended up at a link that led me here. I've never been a part of a fan club, mailing list, etc before. I never felt it was really worth the trouble. Oh, sure, I have artists who's work instills passion in me, but none in quite the way Jewel has managed to do so. Then, having read over some of the mailings, I found that the type of people who she inspires are more than worth corresponding with. I especially like the nom de'plume of EDA's. Well, I wont bore you all with much more at this point. I just wanted to make my presence known. I do have one request tho. I assume with all these Jewel fans that some if not all of you are poets also. I'd be very interested in trading poetry with you all. My brother and I are currently setting up a poetry website on which I'd love to post any works any of you all would like to have posted. We have our own domain name, no adds, and when we put up the updated artwork (being done by a friend in Lightwave, so its going to be almsot a Myst on the web once we are done, you will tour the house and open books to read peoples poetry.) it should be pretty outstanding. The site is www.newpoets.com. Right now its way outdated, but we should have all the new Lightwave art up by January.

Studies in Love #12 is one of my FAVORITE songs by Jewel. i know it's on Rare Angels but would it be on any other angelfood? Does anyone have tablature (not chords) for this song? Your help would greatly be appreciated! Does anyone know if she'll ever perform this song again??? Thanks and take care all. karyn idiosyncratic angel /\o/\ "/ \" - "It's not A: do i love him?

I kept hearing YWMFM on the radio, and I couldn't get enough, but I never heard who it was. It was my favorite song, and just totally fit my feelings at the time. So I finally heard that it was Jewel singing, and w/o further hesitaion I went to get the CD. When I got home I poped it in my CD player, I put it to YWMFM first, and my first reaction was "this isn't the radio version, what's going on?" I listened to it but was a bit disapponted, until I realized that in the other versions, they left out parts of the song. It was the first CD I had bought since Alanis I think, so I was not used to the mellowness, if you will, of POY. The begining of every song sounded the same to me. In fact I hadn't heard WWSYS but once or twice before I bought it, and I didn't know she sang it. I was delighted however when I knew it was on POY as well. Getting to the point... I read through all the lyrics, and instanley fell in love with the music, it was the most profound thing I had ever heard, or seen written from my generation. I listened to that CD 24/7 well when I could that is. I even wrote her a letter, which may not seem very significant, but it the first time I had ever been so compelled and inspired to write a muscian or actror or anyone that I didn't know. Anywho that was 2 years ago, and I listened to POY so much it drove my biatch x-step mom crazy, and she scratched it purposely and I had to buy another one. Which I continued to listen to constantly, for a long time. Anywho, point being, that POY kinda had to grow on me, and I know that I'm grateful I read through the lyrics because I don't know what kind of crap (no offense anyone) I would be listening to if I never discovered Jewel. And if anyone is wondering, I absolutely love Spirit!! Jewel is the best thing to happen to this generation!!!

I mean, I have talked to angels who have really helped me (you know who you are), but it's great to know that a lot of you are posting pretty much saying "I don't know you, but if ya need to talk, you can lean on me, I'm here for you." You guys don't have to care, but you do, and that is going to make a lot of people really happy if you stay that way for a while. You guys rule.

In a message dated 11/29/98 8:12:27 PM Pacific Standard Time, "Michael Santos" << I was just thinking the other day, what a awesome song "hands" is. I mean it has such a awesome message. I figured I would try and start a topic for discussion. I was wondering what this song means to you? Does it have a special meaning or can you relate to it in some way? >> I can relate to "Hands". I mean it is a pretty sad when you first hear, and when you keep listening, and wear out the cd/tape (what ever you own), you kinda get the meaning. To me it means not to worry because if something is going to happen, you can't really stop it, "....And not to worry cause worry is wasteful ...". But that's kinda of part of my take on "Hands". ~Lesley The Futbol (Soccer) Playing Angel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 15:30:09 PST From: "Erin Benoit" Subject: What Hands means to me Hey there fellow EDA's, I'll try not to write an essay about this topic...I hope. I was in a deep depression when I bought Spirit. I had heard the song Hands many times on the radio and sang along but never really ingested what Jewel was saying...until I read the words. At first, being in a very negative state of mind, thought that she was stupid telling us what to do...basically telling us that we are useless...but that is not true. The more I sang along with her "I won't be idle with despair" the more my depression lifted. It wasn't as though somone had taken the blanket off of me...it was me taking the blanket off of myself. Her words enabled me to dig myself out...with out relying or blaming others for not doing it for me. "I am never broken" is wishful thinking it seems, but it "sticks to the roof of your heart" so to speak when you learn to say it yourself. You start to believe it and to live it. I owe my life to Jewel. That night just before I read the words..I OD'd on pills hoping not to wake up the next day....I felt like sh*t but there was something different...a spark in my heart. I am a Fragile Flame and getting stronger with time. I would love to one day thank Jewel personally, and that means I now have goals! I am living for something....for myself. I actually WANT to do something. I've never felt this way before. And there will be times inthe future I'm sure that I won't feel this way anymore and that's when I can play her CD again and remember...and I have you guys too! My Angels.... If you are still reading, thank you! I tend to ramble on... *********************************************************** "And she wrinkled her nose when she said it; that's how you know she meant it, Jessica." ~Jewel Angel of the Zodiac ************************************************************ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 19:09:01 EST From: Freakbus6@aol.com Subject: J Cards I am doing a lot of trading, I kinda feel bad cause the J-cards I have, were copied about 1,000,000 times, so the pictures are pretty blury, and hard to see, so if someone has either the originals or one of the first copies of the originals for JewelStock, I Swear to God it Won't Happen Again, Tiny Lights Tour, and/or Jewel Rocks the Paridise, can you make me a copy of them i'm sure it won't cost past fifty cents, and i'm willing to pay that.

For those of you which HAVEN'T read the review of Jewel's "Spirit" in SPIN, please do not. It is not only negative of the album, but attacks her senses of optimism and hope. And that's not even telling you how it refers to Jewel's lyrics as "stupid s***" Also in the SPIN, it has a blurb about Jewel having a topless scene in Ride With The Devil.

(so far I've only really heard it once on radio, plus twice more on Rick Dees which doesn't really count)... it'll be interesting to see how well "Spirit" does - our album charts tend to be more representative of what actually gets played on radio unlike our singles chart which tends to be about 75% R&B/hip-hop...
