"These foolish games are tearing me a part... And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart..."
Monica, shut up! You're not Jewel!
Of course I'm not! No one can replace her!
You betcha!
For someone who lived outta a van and earned next to zero in a night to make it this big has to be fantastic!!
So, that's why she's on our cool list!
"Long before I wrote my first song, words formed as poems in my journals; and poetry drives my song writing today. I've learned that not all poetry lends itself to music-some thoughts need to be sung only against the silence. Poetry is the most honest and immediate art form that i have found, it is raw and unfiltered. It is a vital, creative expression and deserves to find greater forums, to be more highly valued, understood, and utilized in our culture and in our lives. There is such wonderful poetry in the world that wants to be given voice. My hope is to help inspire an appreciation and expression of that voice." -Jewel
On love...and loss
SO JUST KISS ME
*****
So just kiss me and let my hair messy itself in your fingers
tell me nothing needs to be done-no clocks need winding.
There is no bell without a voice needing to borrow my own
instead, let me steady myself in the arms
of a man who won't ask me to be what he needs, but lets me exist
as i am
a blonde flame
a hurricane
wrapped up in a tiny body
that wil come to his arms like the safest harbor
for mending
I KEEP EXPECTING YOU TO
*****
I keep expecting you to fade
to wake up one morning and not care
so I keep myself one carefully measured step away in anticipation of your loves decline
So when your cheek turns and your attention wanders elsewhere
my heart will not be left all akward hanging from an elastic thread
you forgot to pull off your old pair of socks
for it's in your nature to lose interest suddenly
we are both artists who suck the marrow out of each lovely bone
It just happens to be my lovely bones this time
How bare
I GUESS WHAT I WANTED WAS
*****
I guess what i wanted was to hear
you'd stay with me always.
I guess what i wanted was to see
those hands vowing never to leave my own.
I guess what i wanted was to know
I am not loving in vain.
On life
MIRACLE
****
Listen!
Do you hear it?
I do.
I can feel it.
I expect a miracle is coming.
It has set loose this restlessness inside me.
Expect it.
Dream about it.
Give birth to it in your being.
Know! Something good is coming down the line.
Finding its way to you like all things find their way to god's children.
Listen!

I had recently heard that Jewel's second album will be out the 17th November 1998. But I missed the name of her new album...:( If somebody knows, please e-mail us! I also heard that she will be on the cover of RollingStone and Vogue.
Jewel and her new horsey!
