  • jewel is not just a musician, she's a poet. her lyrics are so powerfull

  • I like the fagget part

  • This is a horrible video, the poor girls in it....its not fair to discriminate them. The song is completly against discrimination. She's saying just because your diffrent, does that make you wanna hurt them? Shes saying treat everyone equeally, she's not calling them ugly, and hateful things! ugh.

  • very sad song.feel sorry for those girls.and to those who said ugly crap about thissong,bet you are a looser,and have noone that really cares  about your hateful ass!

  • you sound like a crap of ugly retarted girls.

  • nice :)

  • It's hard to watch because you know, we all know, we've called people these names because no one is pure, even though it hurts so bad to admit. it makes you want to yell at yourself and rethink your actions. it's very strong.

  • this is such a powerful song with a strong message. i can't stop listening to it. on top of a wonderful voice, she also has the message. it's prefect.

  • what?!?!?!?

  • cool very nicely done.

    Like a tear rolling down my face, the dream has fadded away.

  • dragi nemam tvoj mail javi se...

  • Wow! that was an awesome video to portray the songs meaning.

  • All categorizing is wrong and flawed.most of these categories are based on what we see and many people dont "look" like their category. im part portuguese n my name gets mistaken for p.r. or some other spanish related nation. i also look as italian as it gets. guess what the portuguese and armenians and others dont even have a category. how stupid. we are just different varieties of human. there are dif. colors of everything; clothes, cars, cups etc. itd be pretty fucking boring without variety.

  • i get your point.. but the video was kinda mean...

  • this stuff happens so often no one even cares anymore and its so sad it goes ignored in our society

  • Purely amazing...

  • yeah.. this is about right. i love this song. and your video is also pretty good.

  • I love this song.

  • love the song the vid was ok.

  • this song is incredible... as a result of being abused in my past i understand the feelings jewel put into this song... its amazing!!

    i love your music jewel!

  • anche per me è così...capisco le emozioni di questa canzone torno indietro nel mio passato e vedo una ragazza convinta di essere inutile...

  • and its people like us, hu have been hurt in this way that will come out stronger in the end, we will come out better people, and we will love more and understand that of which others can not.

  • This is her best song :)

    Love it !!

  • Isn't the message of the song suppose to be "people call others bad words because they're different and the person saying the bad words is afraid that they could actually be the bad words they call others", like that people call other's the gay slur, jew, or ugly girl, cause they're afraid they could actually be gay, a jew, or ugly themselves?

    Did it I get right?

  • yep i think u got it right

  • yeah, i think you pretty much nailed it.

  • Sara Palin REALLY reminds me of this song.

  • Love yourselves.

    We are all same inside. Marks that seem indelible change us. Those parts of you that you dont love, you hate. And when you see them in someone else, you attack those same faults you have. Its nothing personal. Learn to love yourself, lovelovelove.

    I wish themes like these would be explored more in popular music but ... guess not.

    I can only do my part, love =).

  • wow the things she sings lol

  • nice song!

  • As I have been abused and now standing up against it - this song makes the point ....

    No one should be afraid to just be alive.

  • I love the message of this song, but once it got to the Jew part, I started crackin up.

  • why???

  • what a great thinking song....

  • This song is so deep

    it always makes me sad T___T

  • This song is so deep!

  • this song is beautiful.

    it really puts people in their place that feel the need to discriminate against people that aren't exactly like them.

  • umm a faggot is a pile of sticks...

    so why not say gay.

  • cause faggots a more hateful slang term

  • "Pieces of You" This is exactly what the song is about, pieces of you, NOT discrimination. We are all a piece of everything in this world and beyond. We are a tapastry of many different strings attached in someway...just another oppinion.

  • personally I think it's sad that songs like these have to exist.

    don't get me wrong, I like the song and the purpose.

    we all know that we judge to quickly. everyone who claimes not to do it is a foolish liar.

    all we can do is try to stop ourselves when we notice we judge to quickly.

    we need to be remembered to the fact that all people look and act to things differently.

    well that's all I got to say.

  • I love this song. Jewel rocks!

  • why is humanity so judging u see ppl and u judge thats all we do its sad u hav 2 get 2 no the person first its horrible how we hurt everyones feelings i wish ppl could understand.

    I love this song it means alot to me reminds me of alot of ppl who discriminate we are all the same blood,flesh,bones

  • you are very rude!!

  • ugh.

    your a dumb fuck seriously.

    you prolly dont know what societys real problems with people are.

  • && thats to sitaka

  • This song makes me cry cause it reminds me of my life. I appreciate Jewel singing about the issues of descrimination.

  • WHAT BEAUTIFUL SONG. i dont understand why it is in this world people care what you look like and the relgion you are. you should all know that on the inside we all have blood running throw our veins and blood flowing throw our hearts and thoughts to our minds, so why cant anybody just look upon the inside.peace out world:)

  • u r o right we werent put on thi earth 2 judge others

  • amazing

  • one of my fav songs!

  • beautiful song !

    amazing voice !

  • love the song cuz it reminds me of me at one time in my life

  • this song is beautiful simplicity

  • inside we are all the same

  • I can't understand it; Hate is stronger than love in our world; Why...?

    Is a shame, all we need is just give a chance to love. Peace out

  • I know! All the hate breaks my heart. :'(

  • down with the discrimination!!!!!

  • I don't hate any of the people mentioned in this song, guess it doesn't apply to me.

    *shrug

  • I think it applies to everyone; there's more discrimination than just to the people categorised into the groups mentioned in this song.

  • Omg this song is great..im from kentucky and im gonna play this song for my dad just to fuck with him

  • very good song and very good video...i didnt know jewel till last week and im already a fan =]

  • The video is very very good

    i love it <333

    and the song too ^^

  • Love:P

  • Hatred poisons and transforms people into monsters, bigots. It slowly spreads through your mind like a disease till you're completely blinded by it. The good thing is that people like that ALWAYS end up lonely and miserable. You reap what you sew.

  • This has always been one of my most favourite Jewel songs because it's one of the most powerful. It's a positive song. People who misinterpret it clearly don't understand the message. The message is still relevant today, which really shows society hasn't changed much in the fourteen years since this song was written. Sad isn't it?

  • Beautiful video and message! love it!

  • I love jewel:)

  • Well Done!!.............the video and song speak to the heart!!

  • It's saying there are people out there with pretty faces and a heart of stone-- Others are hideous but the easiest to love because they know what it means.

    --the only person that can help on this fall and backup this comment would be God--Maybe you should try reading a bible :) He would love it.

  • Hmm... Iv'e never commented on these things before.

    But Iv'e got to back up a "Jewel" song because she's the best:D

    Anyways If you took time to watch this, LISTEN, notice the imperfections, criticize and post like 2 paragraphs up on how you hated this. You obviously are the example of the type of person that DOES NOT understand. Anyone who undersatands this song has a heart :D

  • and the 2nd is self explanatory, and some people arnt AS bad about being racist anymore (though some will never get over it) but i think hating people because their gay is no different then being racist, and even about Choosing a religion, you should respect ppls beliefs and culture if they have been raised muslim or jewish or whatever, why should they convert because you tell them there religion is wrong? what if yours is? what if they all are? ever think about that?

  • I totaly agree with you on this This song is a complete reminder of what our world has become&you know surprizingly ive come to those same questions a lot "what if my religion is wrong or if they all are?" Of course you never want to question your own belief because you feel its betraying what youve been taught&ppl get overwhelmed with this subject&end up hating other ppl not like them&thats not only racist but childish it seems this world still hasnt come out of their highschool days

  • i'd say 2 of the most vital lines in this song aside from "do you hate him/her because (s)he's pieces of you" would be in the "faggot" section "are you afraid your just the same" or in the Jew section "as if being born were a sin", for the first 1 i'd like to point out that about 50% of homophobes have some gay feelings, they're taught its wrong and if they feel that way a little they get scared and hate it beyond reason...(continued next comment)

  • This kid below me is hella smart.

  • Asshole. This should be more offensive than eye opening. By putting up those pictures, you're admitting you think those people girls are ugly, too, since you picked them yourself.

  • Congratulations on skirting around the issue by criticizing an unimportant detail. Ugly, pretty, faggot, jew, whatever. It isn't about judging whether people are those things. It's about whether or not you will hate them for it. Thinking something about someone and hating them for it are two totally different things.

  • This is a beautiful song and I respect it so much. I have always been the 'ugly girl'...

  • I loled

  • So wat they're gay!?!  LEAVE THEM ALONE GOD!!!!

  • you have no right to even like this song if you dont like one aspect of it

    hypocrite.

  • gosh how retarded can a person be. seriously

  • dont' say retarded

  • Ok for younottubebutty or whatever your ridiculous name is. This song is inspiring and beautiful.. It makes me want to kick you in the face. It's not funny it's shit thats important...Grow up and get a new you tube name, it's dumb!

  • I agree w/ it all except, I lived in Israel for much of my life as a Christian, and I have to say, Jewish people (in Israel) are rude and corrupt, self-ish and vein, believing that they are the choosen people of God and using every momnt of past persecution as a means to seek pity and favor of the public. Its a real problem!

    (btw this isnt a complete sterio-type, its just what I've come to see and expect, but I do believe there are exceptions to this mostly correct rule)

  • ...yeah thats funny cuz that was the same impression I got from christians.. But youre right. There are acceptions to the rule.

  • I know, Christians can come off like that as well, but if you lived in both America with a lot of the Christians, and then in Israel with a lot of the Jews, you would completely understand my position and it wouldnt take much to make you see who's more corrupt.

  • ...I'm jewish.. I have lived in Israel... i live in America now.. How bout this. Lets just agree most people are corrupt and selfish and vein. Some more than others but it has nothing to do with anyone's nationality, heritage, or religion. I have met christians who spit on me and tell me I will burn in hell,I have met muslims who embrace me and welcome me into their homes. Sorry you had one too many bad run ins with assholes that just happened to be jews.I guess I don't understand your position.

  • By saying its mostly correct you stereotype- Try understanding why people act the way t hey do before you judge them- there is a lot of hatred in ME on both sides. Everyone is right from where they come from and you should reach out before you condemn them

  • oh wow great song

    i love the way jewel writes songs

    its not like the songs that always rhyme over and over again

    but you understand the meaning of the song in a different way in a poetic type of way and i congrat her for that =]

  • omg. reely immature. fuckin growupp

  • WTF?!?!?!?! go to hell

    SERIOUSLY

  • how the fuck is it hilarious grow up

  • This song is sad and depressing but things like this need to be said. and pretty and ugly really only are perception, what someone thinks is pretty the person next to them might think is ugly and vice versa, people need to truthfully get over themselves enough to see that we are all the same no matter what we look like, inside we are all the same, and no one person is better than another.

  • Id lick her from head to toe!

  • This song is profound, it gives me chills every time I here it. The images in the video go great with the song.

  • I remember this song back then, its true how we all are just hypocrites with the world when will we learn that we are all truely the same with different ideas

  • I can't even remember how I found this song.

    Not that that matters but I loved it straight away.

    Made me really think!!

    Love it.

    On a random note, my friend thought it was,

    "Did she sleep with your hotel?"

    What the..

  • When she says do you call her a....Bitch? it is chilling. Women say women are evil all of the time. Just look at how much hatred is in this country.

  • That was so true. We hate other people because they are just like us but we don't want anyone to know.

  • now that was sad... but hey great job!

  • beautiful vid. very beautiful.makes me think of sophie lancaster.

  • This moved me. The lyrics and the pictures was just excellent!

    Nice job!

  • I have to admit that I laughed a bit... But it really is sad...

  • dam what a beautifull girl jewel is.. have loved her since i was 13 when this gril in my class lent me the cd

  • very moving

  • amazing

  • Its so true we hate most of others of what we hate about ourselves

  • you are so right

  • That was a powerful video....

  • Your video makes the song that much more powerful.

  • Your video makes the song that much more powerful.

  • i love how shinelikefireflies put it.. it's true.. we project our hate of things we see in ourselves onto other people because it's so much easier that way..

  • awesome voice, g8 lyric...just love this song

  • that was a really good viedo i love how you did it

  • Great video for a great song...The lyrics are meant to be harsh. That's part of the brilliance of the song.

  • The song has a good feeling... but it's kind of bad for a song... it's beautiful in a way, but I just dont like some of the wording... faggot is kind of a harsh word.... and to put peoples pictures up is humiliating to them...

  • I love Jewel

  • Wow,really impressiv! I did not know jewel does such songs.

  • what happened to Jewel - she used to be so real.

    now she is part of Hollywood

  • i like this song xD

  • This song is protesting descrimination. If you note the main line of the chorus: "Do you hate her because she's pieces of you?" It's saying that people senselessly hate other people because they remind them of their own problems and their own issues that they choose not to deal with. I'm not sure if this is true in every situation, but I've seen plenty of closet case homosexuals that are homophobic.

  • Ohh .. now i get it, thanks for the explaining;)

  • No problem.

  • hermosa creacion de tal angel sin alas...

  • Love it.

  • omg i love this song

  • its a fabulous song, and the vid is well done. but do u have permission from all those people in the photos? i wouldnt be happy if i found a video and there was a photo of me on it saying ugly girl!

  • It is a good song, it'd be hard to make justice of a video without expensive equipment, the lyrics are priceless, and I think Mellowdee Ska did a great job.

  • mellowdeeska, thanks for making the video. it was a very good song.

  • If done well, this song could have had an amazing video. would have broke boundaries like Christina A's video for "Beautiful".

  • truely touching video. beautiful

  • Everyone needs to STOP putting up adds for dating websites on the comments because this was a beautiful song, and a beautiful video and people are TRYING to put down their thoughts!

  • this song breaks my heart

  • thanx For Your Time!!!! Jewel is an Angel,the voice Proves it!!!!!!!!!!

    Apache---sky

    R.I.P. Mr. King-----and, RACISM.

    Apache-_-Sky

  • the martin luther king quote is genius

  • luv all ur songs, JEWEL =)

  • thats the truth this song isnt no lie

  • Rodney King said it best......"Can't we all just get along"?

  • i am NOT gay male and i still like the message this song sends.

  • Listen to Anti-Flag's " Right to choose "

  • people who say this song is stupid must not really know what REAL lyrics are. Since theyre isnt any works about fucking girls and money and cars then this must not be a real song!! I am a gay male and i love jewel this video and this song. all three potray a message that should touch everyone like it does me!

  • this song breaks my heart

  • Awesome!

  • What the fuck..

    xD

    "Fagg-ut."

    That part fucking made me lol. [:

    Not cause I'm against gays

    But the way she said it.

  • I like this song.. the video isn't the best, but i love jewel

  • I totally agree with boomm06. This sucks.

  • this is ridiculous... this does not at all convey the message she tries to convey. i laugh at how dumb she portrays different groups of people because it's so nonesensical. good "intentions," but very poor execution. i am offended despite the purpose so it basically adds a more negative affect than reversing the hate.

  • was this video made for those who cannot hear? lol

    what a waste of time...

    I LOVE JEWEL! but what a crappy vid...

  • I use to love this song Back when it came out NOW that i seen someone has made a Video and a VERY good one i that I LOVE it MORE !!! good job

  • shes a pretty girl and i call her a bitch =]

  • Great video!!!

  • wow nicely done!

  • i love this vid it is one of my theme song!

  • This is a good vidio, thanks for making it!

  • dunno, but there is something about the way she says...faggot; powerfuL

  • This made me cry... It is so beautiful

  • and i love that quote on hatred

  • powerful

  • it's all about the inside that counts!!!

  • Great video! Only thing I'd change would be to use high resolution pictures.

  • we all have a life, heart and blood running through our vains. we're all the same we live and we die.

  • I fucking hate Paris Hilton

  • her voice is very similar to shakiras voice

  • That is true!! Maybe that is reason why I always like it more and more... because I like voice of Shakira :)

  • sensitive people lol, i dont no what all the dolphins in the world would do or if they would even still exist today , god bless the sensitive people, because i think dolphins are okay .

  • jewel just kicks too much azz let me tell ya
