Important Hit Singles by the Recording Artist ♦♦♦ Jewel ♦♦♦

Easily "Foolish Games" for me.

was about to vote "Foolish Games", but I can barely remember how it goes, so "Standing Still" gets my vote.

Jewel was just about the only music my dad listened to in the late '90s (before Norah Jones and Dido came along), so I know way too many of her songs by heart. and yet he recently heard me playing The Sundays' "Wild Horses" and asked, "Is This Jewel?" so I think he's over her at this point. there's a memorable poem in the liner notes to one of her first 2 albums where she talks about guys "comparing penis sizes", but I can't find it anywhere online, darn.

Would vote "You Were Meant For Me" if it was the original, bouncy, electric-guitar version and not the mopey piece of crap she put out later while disappearing the original. Otherwise "Standing Still."

her aunt Mossy was a cool hippie folk chick who put out a double album in the '70s, and Jewel even recorded one of her songs. maybe this should have been a Mossy Davidson thread.

0304 was her best album, but her best singles were from earlier i think.

huh, I don't remember two version of "You Were Meant for Me", xxpost. maybe I'm not really a True Fan.

*versions

"Who will save your soul" had the dope bassline, was the little single that could for like a year before she started shifting units, going with that

Not only were there two versions, the video for the first one was directed by Sean Penn!

"standing still" is the only one i like. "foolish games" is a bunch of senseless moaning to me.

some dude otm coffeehouse tori brickell jewel was the best jewel

would have gone with foolish games once upon a time but today "you were meant for me"

"you were meant for me" for the pjs

some dude otm

mossy is such a great name

first four are all classic, never liked standing still, no recollection of intuition

oh god how is pieces of you one of her popular songs on spotify

it is the title track of her far-and-away biggest album

and also the most cringe-inducing song of all time

yes but we're talking about people typing jewel related keywords into spotify

like ♦♦♦ me ♦♦♦ ;_;

Standing Still

Every one of these songs is responsible for destroying my hairline, hour by hour.

You listen to Jewel a lot it would seem.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Foolish Games.

Wow, great poll. Bit weird how many of these songs I know. Suppose I watched a lot of music videos back in the day.

Foolish Games.

Great song!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

kinda wish i'd voted for "Intuition," Jewel doing a synth pop song and tarting it up in the video was an Important Cultural Moment imo

No love for Hands?

in the end, only kindness matters.

the love for Hands is small, I know

i liked intuition, prob not enough 2 vote 4 it tho

there's a memorable poem in the liner notes to one of her first 2 albums where she talks about guys "comparing penis sizes", but I can't find it anywhere online, darn.

Leaving Las Vegas

Bill, Butch and Bart
Swapping penis size
in the front seat
while Thelma, Theisel and
Lou Lou up there
bouffant hairdos
and secretly go
where Blue eyeshadow
has never gone before

I'm pretty sure Blue eyeshadow has been there many, many times.

feel like "your philosophies on art / baroque moved you / you loved mozart" anticipated "she checks out mozart while she does tae bo"

oh man Kilcher and Monahan really are two sides of the same coin

Except for the obligatory 'it's the 90s do a spoken interlude' - which in this case goes 'sweet sorrow is the goal tomorrow' - GArrrghhGH.

But the 'do you - want me' parts are really great, very vulnerable, I can get all Jewelry on this, esp. on a car radio.

I don't really know shit abt classical music but p sure mozart wasn't baroque era

Las Vegas

Women who suck
their cigarettes
as though they were
giving their
hatred head
