And I just wanted to let you know how absolutly AMAZING she was. No concert I have ever been to can compare! She has so much stage presence, but still seamed so down to earth! She sang all her newer songs and the older ones that I love like Escapade, Love Will Never Do Without You, Rythym Nation, and Nasty. And can she dance! Find the best dancer in the world and they can't compare with her. And she's sooo pretty and has a perfect smile!!! So if you ever get a chance to go see her, and he tickets are $50+, go, it's worth the money. She sang for 2 hours!!! I LOVE U JANET!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2001 23:38:46 -0700 From: "billy streeter" Subject: Re: [EDA] Jewel breathing Like in the song "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd, in the beginning Roger Waters hawks a lugie, for anyone who cares. =) - -billy - ---------- >From: Jason Quattrini >To: jewel@smoe.org >Subject: Re: [EDA] Jewel breathing >Date: Tue, Oct 16, 2001, 4:26 PM > > Actually, if you listen to most any of the songs, you can hear the > breathing... and guitar finger slideing somtimes too.

I CANT WAIT TO HAVE IT!!!! im so excited about cleaveland, and i cant wait to hear the studio versions of jesus loves you and the new wild west, they are both some of my new favorites, especially the new wild west!!!! and rowdy..... OH MY GOD!! you just about made me cry, the tears were forming. i have done that so many times, just all of a sudden remembered those nights where i would stay up all night just listening to every silable, every crack in her voice, every pluck her nails made on the guitar, EVERYTHING... and never wanting to hear anything other than her voice!!! then i would see how far that small love has gone, ive met so many people and had such wonderful experiences thanks to jewel! i at times just want to say good bye to the lists and the emails and everything and just be me and jewels voice and sweet face again... but how could i leave such great things... i cant! but i will still have days where all i want to hear is you were meant for me (the second single version/video with steve version) over and over and over again... just feeling how i did the first time i ever heard her voice. and i will always have days where all i do is listen to POY, cus there is no other album in the world or in the history of music that i can listen to over and over and over again and not ever get the slightest feeling in the back of my mind saying maybe i should switch cds now. last summer i was having a really bad night and i just happend to find paler shade of gray/train song for the first time, and i was so out of it and anry that i couldnt make out one word in the song, all i needed was the tone and the cracks of her voice to tell me all i needed to know, so i listend to it for 3 or 4 hours straight and finally came back to myself and looked up the lyrics......... that was an amazing night! and thanks to jewel i will always have amazing nights!!! now and zen girl..........alisa - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 02:20:54 -0700 From: "Jewel Fan" Subject: [EDA] couple things Hi.. 1st of all.. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm new! :) That was easy. I have a few questions. I would like to know where I can get a hold of these songs: Audios Amigo (The Next Rodeo) Another Round Of You Because I Love You Break Me Breaking Up Crazy Damn The Daisies Do You Want To Play Does Anyone Believe In Love Anymore Don't Want To Be Loved By Anyone But You Electric Quaalude Everybody Needs Someone Sometime Everything Is Cardboard Footsteps Of The Morning (Raven) Happy Endings How Long Will This Go On I Won't Walk Away I'll Be Seeing You Again Je T'aime Jesus Loves You Last Standing Vagabond Lay Me Down Lemondrops and Clover Long Slow Slide No More Heartaches Now That You Have Me Open Your Eyes Partial To Mary Pretty Crash Puzzle Of Stars Rosy And Mick Serve The Ego Shadows Play So Close To Heaven Stay Stephenville The Sue Lee Song 'Till We Run Out Of Road Take Me, Break Me The New Wild West Things You Don't Say Tough Girl Until The Fall Violet Eyes Weeping Tree You And I I know now that some of these songs are gonna be on "This Way". But I know they're rare, and would like the rare copy if anyone is willing to do this for me. - -----jewel's video is on... just thought i'd share! :D----- Speaking of Jewel's video.. I see that when it goes to the part where it shows her band... I don't see the same people! :( Did she get rid of Steve and the gang? Also.. I think this video has a bit of similarities to Michelle Branches Video Everywhere. What do you guys think? Ok, I think thats all.. Thank you all for your time! :) ~Jewel Fan~ http://www.angelfire.com/sk/killorgeteven (long story about the name of the URL.
