Jewel - Hands

[RJN]

Maybe the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

In the end, only kindness matters

 

[RJN]

Because of the other threads, this is a JEWEL DAY for me

 

[Marilyn]

Her best song

I think that might be what prompted my parents to buy any Jewel albums/me to become obsessed with her as a child

Lady Gaga should release 911 (September 11 Remix)

If I could tell the world just one thing it would be that we’re all okay

She posted a story on FB last year about how she was invited to visit ground zero not long after 9/11 and meet the emergency workers who were all obsessed with Hands

Beat that Enya

[Devil]

Typical Jewel loveliness, but not her best

 

[Christian]

I always enjoyed this one on Spirit but it is a bit gloopy. She's done a lot worse on that front though.

The so-called Christmas Version on Joy isn't worth bothering with.

 

[krang]

we'll fight
not out of spite
someone must stand up for what's right

 

[Marilyn]

Another random JEWEL MEMORY but when this came out I thought it was a soundtrack song for the movie Twister because of the video, I think I must have seen the movie and the video on TV around the same time and fused the two in my mind

I was 8, but even at that age I think I should've noticed that the video did not actually contain any reference to, or scenes from, Twister

[Shoat]

Fuck yes to the single version of What's Simple Is True

One of my bigger Spotify gaps. One of her most gorgeous moments.

Paging @disneyteletubby!

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

LOVE

 

[Christian]

I haven't indulged in a bit of a Jewel for some time, this looks like just the thing

 

[Suedehead]

Love it but
I mean it’s no Intuition but then what is

 

[Suedehead]

“In the end only kindness matters” is beautiful

You can be cynical but it never fails to move me

 

[Suedehead]

Quick album rank:

1. This Way
2. 0304
3. Pieces of You
4. Spirit
5. Goodbye Alice in Wonderland

The others are gloppy country shit I have no desire to listen to ever again…

Last Dance Rodeo (Home Boombox Demo)

Interesting that between the Home Boombox Demo and the version she eventually recorded for Goodbye Alice In Wonderland she changed SMEAR to QUEER
