@wtfscrapie72 - This version of this song by Jewel is beautiful. That song you told everyone to look up makes me want to shoot you in the face. Just sayin'..... I swear the music industry is going down the toilet right in front of our eyes.
i love this song as well... take time to look up an angel by Declan galabreath, thats a wonderful song... im sure everyone will love it.... also his song, im all out of love...
Its a good vocal. This is one of those rainey day songs that demands "less is more". Jewels voice is capable of accomplishing more than the instruments can. She is so talented.
it's weird how they constantly play her music in EVERYTHING but not one video of hers has ever been shown in england, at least not to my knowledge lol such a shame.
Respond to this video... @ whoever wrote this 'trying to hard to look like britany spears' mate britany was about 11 when this was released no one had even heard of britany yet
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the pictures are just really disturbing, I mean she's not even that pretty
what's wrong with some nice pictures? I'm so tired of those blond bimbos with to much make up, who (yes, i admit) CAN sing but then ruin their credibility with trying so so hard to look like britney spears...
@imagineaboringlife She is who she is. If those ar her pictures, then that's who she is and how she looks. Can't a girl look gorgeous now? It's all part of being alive and having fun. Besides her voice will still sound perferct with or without make up. If she's talented and a great singer, that won't change by wearing make up or by not wearing it. Less credible? She sounds amazing to me no matter how she looks.
@imagineaboringlife Maybe BSpears is trying to look like Jewel "blond bimbo" read Jewel's biography...blonde yes, bimbo ... (what does that word mean exactly?).
seriously, I'm not a reckless teenager, not a manipulative succubus monster, never vengeful, not lost, and I don't bite off the heads of my mates after copulation.
I like Jewel, but she does not do justice to this song. This is a very emotional song and she sounds like she absolutely sleepwalks her way through this. No power. No emotion. She tries to crank it up halfway through, but it's just lame, lame, lame. Sorry, Jewel.
While you're on your road to recovery, keep in mind I'm with you in spirit.
"....Come here Darlin' from a whisper start, have a little faith in me.
And when your back's against the wall, Just turn around, you will see. I will catch ya, I will catch your fall. I said I will hold you up, so have a little faith in me....."
Just call, I will be glad to fix you a plate, anytime. And just wondering...how do you feel about sponge baths from your private nurse? ;0))
I would love to make love to John Travolta while this song was playing.I would love to make love to John Travolta anytime even if nothing was playing but this song would be a bonus.
I really love John Travolta and I loved him in Phenomenon. I would like to kiss John Travolta while this song was playing. but the song doesn't have to be playing. lol
this is a piece of shit cover of hiatts song. it's smothered with cheesy and commercial like influences. Nothing compares to the raw, gospel influenced original.
Jewel's was a version. JOHN HIATT IS THE ONE WHO ROCKS THIS!!!! It was from his own soul and raw emotion!!!
Don't get me wrong........ I love Jewel and her music, especially from her first couple of albums......... and the girl sure can yodel.. But OWNS the song!
I love Jewel's version; John's is good, but her's is so much more tender, sweet, & wistful; her voice just makes you close your eyes & smile--plus at 3:21, you can't help but notice a little Janis Joplin slipping in. It's a beautiful song, no matter who sings it, but I've always loved Jewel. (not to mention the fact that this version will forever remind me of "Phenomenon," & always makes me cry. ha!)
Yes, she obviously has a much different take on the song than John Hiatt, but you can really enjoy both versions. Anyone, though, who prefers Mandy Moore must be deaf or just willfully ignorant.
When you cover a song it doesent mean you have to play it exactly the same.. In fact you can't play it exactly the same cause if you hear the different versions it will always be different. Although I don't like this version.. John Hiatt's version got more "power" in it...
I second this opinion. I actually made a version for a friend's wedding with Jewel singing the first verse and chorus, then cut to Joe. She makes a nice intro, he provides a more powerful ending. But if I had to pick one version - Cocker for sure! Hats off to Hiatt for a GREAT song.

this is possibly the worst I have ever heard jewel, her throat must be sore or have stitches in it because she is murdering this song, and I say that even though I like her voice normally.
I think the lesser known Bon Jovi version is the best I've heard. His voice fits the song perfectly. Jewel has a beautiful voice, but i don't think it's right for this song.
And no, I don't have anyone's arms to lay in at the end of the day and have been through hell and back in more ways I care to talk about, so yeah, I do have a clue and can understand why you would get carried away. I am truly sorry for the loss of your wife. That's something that no one should ever have to experience and of course I can understand your emotional attachment to it.
Also, I thought Jewel's version was terrible? Now it's pretty and well done? Which is it? Besides, who ever does an cover version of a song that sounds exactly like the original, especially if the some people's opinions the original can never be topped? On a lighter note, after reading your comments I listened to John Hiatt's version again and can see what you mean. So, consider my mind changed!
Hey, you opened the door wide open yourself for that one. Granted, the other gentleman's comment was not appropriate either, but you went into attack mode immediately and then proceeded to insult anyone who likes Jewel as stupid. So, no sympathy there! I just called you on it. My whole point was, everyone has a different opinion. I think rap music is the most horrible thing I've ever heard, but I don't call people who like it stupid.
I just listened to many different versions of this song, and none of them impressed me that much except this one, not even the apparently worshipped John Hiatt version. I think Jewel has a beautiful voice! But that's just my opinion. See, that's what one would call "personal taste". The only "fucking idiots" on this board are the ones like jacobwalters85. Wow, your intellect and name calling is SO impressive! Do you feel cooler now? Fucking idiot, indeed.
My wife and I loved this song, the John Hiatt version was our song. We danced to it at our wedding, and I even played it for her when I drove her to the hospital to have our son. Unfortunatley, she died during child birth. So, this was the last song she heard. If you listen to John's version, it's just a piano and his voice. He didn't want a bunch of instruments to clutter his message to the woman he loves. So, maybe I get a little carried away, but John' version helps me remember my wife.
So, call me an "fucking idiot" if you want, I'm sure you get to put all the negative comments you want about people, then at the end of the day lay in the arms of the person you love. That must be nice. You have no fucking clue. This song is supposed to be a cry out to John Hiatt's love of his life, not a pretty, well sung and played song. Sure, Jewel's version is pretty and well done, but this song wasn't written that way. This song is a heart-felt ballad with a one-person audience in mind.
There should be prison time given to "artists" who cover classic songs. There are few songs ever written that are perfect, and John Hiatt wrote this one perfectly. Jewel (what a stupid name) should go back to yodeling. This is terrible, it's almost like listening to a small child being mauled by a bear. I paused it at 0:59 when blood started to trickle from my ears. I wish someone would taaaaakkkkeee her soul.
I agree this version FUCKING SUCKS, but not all cover classic songs are shit. Youtube "Stairway to heaven" by rodrigo and gabriela and you'll see that it's better than Led Zep's original version.
Love Jewel; she's been a great inspiration & motivator for me on my own musical journey; i learned to play guitar at 22 yrs old much thanks to the gorgeous soul & beauty of Jewel's music & songwriting; thanks so much for sharing this one!!
i just heard this song on the movie Phenomenon starring John Travolta during that kissing scene. I googled the lyrics and saw mandy moore and jewel. I said..i gotta hear Jewel sing this song, she's one of the best! and the lyrics were like right there. Thanks to whoever posted this!
I love this song, make me feel something extrainge inside, and I think that all versions are really important because they contain diferent ways about to feel and that enrich us...
john hiats the best, he wrote this but other people get all the credit. johns written so many other songs for tons of artist that he dosnt put on his album. he's even writen songs for eric clapton and b.b.king. it just makes me feal bad that he dosnt get as much reccignition as he should for writing songs that chang so many diffrent peoples lives
uhh u seem to be under an illusion that there the only ones who sing this song...hears and update for u..JOHN HIATT WROTE THIS..and he's ten times better than mandy or jewl. its one thing to have a good voice but its on a whole diffrent thing to be able to write something amazing as this.

I paused it at 0:59 when blood started to trickle from my ears. I wish someone would taaaaakkkkeee her soul.

I need to be "taking" to the woodshed? You need to be TAKEN back to English class. No wonder you like Jewel, you're a fucking idiot.

I agree this version FUCKING SUCKS, but not all cover classic songs are shit. Youtube "Stairway to heaven" by rodrigo and gabriela and you'll see that it's better than Led Zep's original version.

Wow, that version is really good. I'm diggin the classical guiters. Check out Zakk Wylde's Stairway cover, it's amazing.

i just heard this song on the movie Phenomenon starring John Travolta during that kissing scene. I googled the lyrics and saw mandy moore and jewel. I said..i gotta hear Jewel sing this song, she's one of the best! and the lyrics were like right there. Thanks to whoever posted this!

john hiats the best, he wrote this but other people get all the credit. johns written so many other songs for tons of artist that he dosnt put on his album. he's even writen songs for eric clapton and b.b.king. it just makes me feal bad that he dosnt get as much reccignition as he should for writing songs that chang so many diffrent peoples lives

Sorry for this but I can't help to say she's really sexy.
Otherwise, I still prefer John Hiatt's version.
