Jewel Hands Live on Letterman September 2001 post 9/11

[lovesamsara]

my hands are small i know but they're not yours, they are my own...

[rosdaddy]

Just seeing this now...10 year anniversary and buried my dog the same day. A good cry is great therapy...thanks for this.

[Swedified]

Jewel pours so much into whatever she sings. I love her.

[bleedisaster]

and obviously you goons are missing the point of this song

[bleedisaster]

fuck.. this shit made me cry...

[TheMrTide]

No Jesus, No Hope. Know Jesus, Know Hope.

[RednaxLive]

One of the most heart-wrenching, raw performances I have ever seen.

[LodiDodi333]

So true..even though it was almost 10 years ago, still has a raw feel..

[Slushpuppy457]

this is the best live performance I've ever heard... its so true and amazing...God bless September 11, 2001 victims...you will never be forgotten

[dannigonightnight]

This is not a religious debate. Dang, can't you just enjoy the music without fighting a pointless battle over the INTERNET? Some of you are believers, and some aren't. Who gives a shit what you are? It doesn't matter. Believe what YOU want to believe, and fuck everything else. Damn.

[colovale]

@dannigonightnight RIGHT ON!

[grendeljack]

Prayer rocks.

[whoseontrial]

this is why i love jewel. what a hauntingly beautiful version of this amazing song.

she sings with her soul and heart. <3

[save3dollars]

I watched Letterman the night that this aired. Very moving, still moves me to tears.

[zerocoolct]

I remember shortly after 9/11 there was a package found outside a school in England. Containing a white powder.

Thepolice where called and for a number of hours everybody thought it was terrorists using anthrax. Until the news reported it was just cocaine

[VFA103JollyRogers]

@JesusFul100sProphec Amen

[zerocoolct]

DID i MENTION JEWEL IS GREAT. sexy, smart, sultry i'm time. After bush cut the FBI's anti-terrorism budget in april 2001 and thus left america open to attack - a song like this really picks us up of the floor.

[dsfddsgh]

@zerocoolct Ummm sorry but these attacks were planned way before Bush ever took office. Clinton didn't do a damn thing to get Bin Laden so by the time Bush took office we were ripe for an attack.

[zerocoolct]

I can see its convenient for christians to explain Gods position in the way you did. In actual fact you do not know the degree of gods involvement in world affairs. Unless hes told you. Which he couldn't have because he doesn't exist.

So when you say "god only creates" its simply an example of a belief system - not rational thought.

[swilsons05]

then who created us?? Wouldn't you want some say in what you choose to do?? There has to be evil in order to know/choose the good.

[tookool4school]

@zerocoolct it's not that he wasn't able to prevent it. it's called free will. he doesn't interfere. We ask God why he doesn't prevent these terrible calamities and he asks us the same question. Men kill Men. God only creates.

[colovale]

I think the direction the comments has gone is hilarious. But that was nicely put @zerocoolct. It could me my new mantra

[mistaflashboy]

@zerocoolct Why should God prevent war when man made it ? Man created war , Man should get rid of war.

[SpecialBoyHunturd]

@zerocoolct You're entitled to your opinion, mine, however, is your opposite's

[Jayjee123]

@zerocoolct it wasnt that he was unable to catastrophe, he willingly created the devil despite his knowledge that the devil would cause nothing but pain and suffering. having said that, the whole "god" thing makes even less sense. it was just some mumbo jumbo taught to idiots that would actually believe it to keep people from killing eachother before laws could sufficiently be carried out

[ewetterh1]

I've read the Bible, a real life part of history, and Jesus came representing God and is humble. You'll be amazed if you check it out.

[Critter145]

@zerocoolct

Being bothered by war, disease and recognizing that they totally suck is totally understandable. That does not, however, logically preclude the existence of a loving God.

[Zesya]

@zerocoolct well, why would God be responsible for the things we did? He didn't invent the war and some other events, PEOPLE do it. And whatever we get - it's just consequences of our actions. So we should be responsible for everything we do, not God.

[van1980]

@zerocoolct Perhaps it's your understanding of God that is flawed.

[Bripull]

This song was actually written for Rachel Joy Scott. She was the first to be killed at the Columbine Shooting. The shooting was on Hitler's Birthday, April 20th!

[Rooneyizzle]

Actually the song was recorded in 1998, and the Columbine Massacre was in 1999. So it is not possible that it was written for her. It's a nice thought though. horrible...

[Bripull]

My school had an assembly a few weeks ago and they said the song was written for her so thats y i thought that!! Lol! Idk!!! The ppl from the foundation might b wrong or maybe i just misunderstood!!!! Lol!! Idk!!

[VFA103JollyRogers]

@Bripull sadly that was one day after my birthday 4/19

[Bripull]

=( dat is sad! it was 19 days after my birthday on 4/1! I wish it never happened! Ther was a threat at my brothers school just recently from a kid sayin he was gonna "pull a Columbine"!! He was caught b4 it happened tho!! Which Im rly happy and relieved about! My brother could hav died! It would hav been terrible! The kid had gun ammo and explosives hidden in his room and ther was another guy from a catholic high school near by with guns and they were goin 2 gun down and bomb the school 2gether!

[VFA103JollyRogers]

@Bripull A Catholic HS now that's strange

[kayawithpig]

My uncle used to go over to Venice Beach, California. He would see Jewel in Venice Beach back when she was in poverty, living in her van, doing street performances.

[Bripull]

My dad met her too!!!

[laarbe]

Yes Jewel my hands may be small, but they are not yours they are my own. We can all do something to make this world a better place. Start with yourself and then use your hands to help someon else. Thanks Jewel and thanks for the post.

[cherishthememories]

"only kindness matters, only kindness matters" ... "we are Gods eyes, we are Gods hands, we are Gods heart"

Beautiful lyrics

[ggllk3]

Lol. He touched her butt.

Nice song.

[columbinestylekilla2]

sexy bitch

[MandyB65]

I hope you're not proud of your name, "columbinestylekilla2." I was living 2 miles from Columbine, on that terrible day. It was a tragedy that the community of Littleton, Colorado will never forget. You should be ashamed of yourself! Murder is NEVER glamorous! Just ask the famillies and friends who lost their loved ones. God made Jewel beautiful, talented, brave, and, yes, sexy! (She sure isn't a bitch.) You must be a dispicable human being, to focus your vile thoughts on Jewel's Site!

[bobbydesi]

whats funny is that this song is used by the organization rachels challenge, based on one of the victims of columbine

[columbinestylekilla2]

?how is that funny?

[Bripull]

She wrote it for Rachel Scott! And I don't find that funny!

[katenuknuk]

Amen!

[MandyB65]

Yes, to question below...it was posted by skribzzz in memory of her Uncle Judd. It was titled Jewel Hands 911. I've been watching it over and over this year and telling all my friends and family members to watch it, but it is no longer available. At least I can't find it. What a tear-jerker!!! Skribzzz....please post again if you can. Thank You

[disneydanceVMK]

Does anybody know the version of this song that has the 9/11 voice recordings mixed inside?

[MandyB65]

This is the best song, sung by the BEST SINGER, I have heard in all my 44 years on planet earth! This is also one of my favorite versions of this song! Thank you for posting it, I know others have also...this song has carried me through one of the hardest years of my life. I love Jewel! I'm amazed only <7,000 views. (So many people are missing out.) My next favorite version of "Hands," is the Live Christmas at The Vatican Version. Too bad so much controversy surrounding such a SAD time.

[Helthazus]

thousands die everyday in iraq, nobody gives them a tribute everyday.

then AMERICANS die... oh they're like the most special people on earth, we should wipe their ass and kiss their feet everyday, and when they die we should remember them and mention them everyday if possible. because they're AMERICANS.

but thousands of people in iraq die everyday, but who cares, they're not american.

[GIJonathan730]

don't be stupid. incomparable.

september 11 caught us by surprise. it was a deliberate attack to shake up America and to weaken us at our core. thats what it was designed to do, and it did so

for decades, the people of iraq have asked for our help to fight for their freedom. finally, we spend near a trillion dollars, and our own lives for their freedom. sure we respect them, as they are civilians, too. but there is a war going on there, and there are always civilian causalties to war.

[Helthazus]

yeah incomparable because Iraqis are inferior to americans right ? retard dumb ass

[daisylou56]

She really is a jewel. Beautiful voice and songwriter.

[leach987654321]

one of the very few performances I've seen that actually made me tear up......amazing.

[eoconnor82]

wow

[patient451]

1:52....it's almost like she's looking at everyone trying to assure them of what she's saying. Chilling.

[RodneySTR]

i believe it lizzabbott.. this country is in trouble.

[joeyjokester]

yep. all those obama voters fucked us.

[patient451]

Yeah, because that was the whole point of this video. Douche.

[lizzabbott]

On a different note.. since apparently, actually pondering about the Truth & thinking outside the box is frowned upon.... even when our future depends upon questioning the official story.... try watching this w/ the sound off. OMG LOL!

[Monica93555]

She is simply amazing... I love to listen to her, no matter what setting it is in.

[lizzabbott]

Errie how this video w/ this song was about a disaster, & then this became like the "911 Theme Song". Since 911 was an Inside Job ( google/watch "911 Mysteries" & "911 Chronicles: Truth Rising") & the New World Order who planned it also owns all the media, incl record companies, I can't help but wonder if Jewel was TOLD to write a song w/ this theme, which was, unknown to her, to be used to further the trauma based psy-op/deception of 911. Maybe she even got wise to them & thus left "wonderland"

[greenorangeviolet]

holy crap, people still belive that it was an inside job? wow, what other crazy shit do you belive?

[lizzabbott]

What crazy shit do I believe?? That the Council On Foreign Relations, formed in NYC in 1921 as an off shoot of the British elitist roundtable groups, has a stated Mission to destroy the Sovereignty of the USA. They have worked on this incrementally for decades, via taking over the media, even your education curriculum, which pushes the CFR Marxist agenda, & destroying the economy. Don't believe me? Then you are HAPPY w/ the state of the economy? Can't you grasp that this was ENGINEERED? WAKEUP

[dayman121]

STOP DOING ACID! STOP!

[lizzabbott]

If you can't fathom anything unless a tele-screen told you, then by all means, educate yourself about the New World Order right here on youtube while you still can. Type in "Bilderberg Group", "Council On Foreign Relations", "Dr Katherine Albrecht/REAL I.D. Act". Google & Watch "Wake Up Call: New World Order", great documentary. "Washington, You're Fired" & "911 Chronicles: Truth Rising" See infowarsDOTcom for TRUTH in the news. Quit supporting Hollywood movies freedomforceinternationalDOTor­g

[Monica93555]

Actually, she wrote this song from her own heart. Her and her present husband Ty were in Yosemite when 9/11 occured. Find someting else to do that doesn't involve jumping on the liberal bandwagon.

[lizzabbott]

Never said it wasn't heartfelt. I never said it had anything 2 do w/ where SHE was on 911. Are you happy w/ the bailout?? Are happy to know that Obama is now going to keep the Troops in Irag for THREE MORE YEARS, after saying 9 mos ago he hates war?? Do you think he was actually voted in, rather than bought & paid for?? You need to get informed. What?? I can't THINK?? If I am not spitting out canned, mass media-induced mindsets there's a problem?? Listen to the Alex Jones show at infowarsDOTcom

[Monica93555]

No I am not happy with the bailout! I do believe that if my parents had troubles with their business then the government wouldn't bail them out. I also believe that filing bankruptcy would be better for them and our nation. I do believe that -oh go figure- after Obama was better informed by military briefings he then realized what an idiotic thing it would be of him to do to pull our troops out of Iraq so soon. Gee what being informed can do for a president-elect and his nation!

[lizzabbott]

No doubt! They would never help ppl w/ their business. And if you or I had screwed up at work the way these banksters have, we'd be fired. Instead they get a bailout & send it mostly overseas, even allocated some 4 CEO bonuses! But the Federal Reserve engineered this crisis, as they did the Great Depression. Read: The Creature From Jekyll Island by G Edward Griffin, 4 more info on the Fed / the root of our problems. END THE FED Nov 22!! Rallies in 39 Cities. Restore Sound Money To America!

[Monica93555]

You probablly believe that man never walked on the moon too, huh? And you probablly believe that Sadam Hussein was a man of kind deeds too! Do you disagree with our nations takedown of his regime? You also probablly didn't know that the media (liberal media that is) distorts information and facts about our success over there. You also didn't know that instead of raping and pillaging villages over there our troops are instead building schools and water wells and medical centers over there!

[greenorangeviolet]

wow, someone else on youtube thats not an idiot, thanks!

[1177rr]

Don't worry.. It's still a great post. Thanks..

[JordanMarmara]

Wow! Great performance! Right from the heart.
