[@jamesdingwell4639]

She's seriously one of the most underrated singers. Ever.

[@LagmasterB]

Agreed

[@jackarmstrong1838]

The quality of her tone on that guitar is first class, also.

It's been ages since i tuned into jewel, but wow, she really delivers soul.

[@jaylan9162]

I'm a misfit

[@hardtymz2517]

she used to yodel. that was her "thing". did she ever fix her teefs??

[@lauriepalmer3593]

I love that she asked Howard why he liked the song….she is such a true gentle soul……❤ 💎

[@jubilee5642]

Jewel is truly a jewel...so damn gorgeous and always one of the best musicians ever...fingerpicking so well and the voice of an angel so beautiful!

[@elisezoli1756]

What a testimony to her skill and humanity. Wow! Thank you to Jewel and Howard Stern.

[@ReadingsbyDom]

To switch from conversation with Howard to such a performance - Astonishing! Thank you very much.

[@tens9100]

She is a rocket scientist. Such a brilliant and otherworldly talented individual

[@realtimerage6779]

This song floors me. I died that way and was brought back. Life is good now, it can be defeated. I am one of the few that made it back.

[@keeslogman9368]

Good for you. It isn't easy

You truly are.. don't give in my friend, it's a death trap.

[@ronnietoots6797]

my son made it back, so far

[@brandysigmon9066]

I have the same story, sometimes I wish they would have just let me be

[@tflyer98]

Thats gotta be the best cover version of that song ever heard - amazing vocals and great arrangement. Really nice guitar playing. She makes it her own. Just stunning.

[@jmadd1000]

Her voice gives me the shivers. It’s gorgeous.

[@jarbubba]

When I hear this song the feeling comes up through my torso and spreads out over my back and arms in goosebumps. I’ve loved this song cover she does and have always wished she would release it.

[@timarnott4483]

Best cover of this song i've ever heard........Jewel is VERY special, its her own intepratation, but serves what Neil wrote VERY well.......still brought tears.....TY Jewel!!!!......you have IMMENSE class and TALENT!!!...i respect you NOW more than ever.....(i'm 53)....this song has been a staple of mine for a LONG time...i can play it too, just cant sing like this God given Angel...TY for moving me!!

[@skepto-o-punk8286]

I forgot what an amazing voice she has. That vibrato is so wide and wonderful. So many unique phrasing choices. Wow.

[@courtbeall7768]

This is so much better than anything on Radio these days.Her rise to fame is really impressive and a testament to her hard work and sacrifice.Hugely underrated.

[@billtruttschel]

Yes, her talent stands on its own. I mean, being gorgeous didn't hurt things in her rise to wealth and fame, but her voice control alone is worthy of next-level respect.

[@theoneleggedchef]

July 7 was 12 years clean for me...12 off the needle (heroin/cocaine) I saw so many fall the 17 years I was using. This is an awesome version of that song. Made me cry, and remember my friends that didn't make it.

[@NotFalling4it]

How are you going today Andrea. Clean from the needle since 2012 for me. Congratulations girl, I hope life is good to you. xxx

[@theoneleggedchef]

@@NotFalling4it still clean! I am happy for you. It's slow but it totally gets better.

[@NotFalling4it]

@@theoneleggedchef Good stuff. Same here, just wish I was ready years before but … I wasn’t. So many layers to getting clean - guilt and grief were tough, still are … just to name a few. Anyway. Good to hear you still are.

[@theoneleggedchef]

@@NotFalling4it thank you! You as well. ❤️

[@paula-p7d]

😘🥰🥰

[@larrysnyder2273]

Wow, she made it her own. Powerful and haunting voice. Gave me chills.

[@gregcekot8875]

That’s song hits me so hard man. I first heard it when I was 14, I’m 52 now. The first time I heard it was on a record player, I was in tears by the end. I new nothing about addiction or even if it was real. Un-ironically, the friend that first played it for me died of an overdose years later. Since them I’ve lost so many friends to heroin. I literally could not listen to this song in public because it would just break me down into a puddle. Jewel is a special person, so I tried listening to her version, of course I cried, but I healed a little too. Thanks Jewel, I can now listen to the original version as well as yours. You’ve restored me to a song lost long ago because of an unbelievable amount of pain, I will forever be in your debt. 🤙

[@johnmurray3346]

Iv’e never really listened to Jewel but that was absolutely astonishing in every sense, incredible musician.

Been a fan of hers since the beginning. Met her back in 2003. Have seen her maybe 8 or 9 times going back to 97. She's amazing

[@Mayabee321]

This gave me goosebumps, so good. That hasn’t happened in a long time

[@krisbest6405]

Happened after a few words??

[@theAussie01]

Same with me.

Way to crush it Jewel! Beautiful and with so much heart!

[@wrt5983]

I also went down that road & by the grace of God I am still here to tell the tail,anyone struggling please reach out for help & never give up on yourself your worth so much more,the world needs you.

[@ronnyparker]

it is always up to you.

[@derekwilson6407]

She’s so perfectly imperfect! She’s beautiful with tiny flaws that most famous people would’ve had “fixed”. BEAUTIFUL!

[@tomacosta85]

This song is a heartbreaker to anyone who lost loved one to drugs.

[@ronnietoots6797]

i got my son back...fklife...he is doing well.

[@dijin456]

Lost a bunch.directly and indirectly..my generation

[@emmavardanega9700]

Amen

[@michaelhtritter]

Wow. I almost passed this by, but then remembered that Jewel always surprises me with how good she is when I give her a listen ... and even knowing that I was surprised. Gob smacked tbh, amazed. Blown away. Just wow.

[@snoot79]

Wow! My whole body is now covered in goosebumps!! Jewel is a true talent and there's nothing more spiritual than watching someone really FEEL the soul in what they're singing or playing- I've been a fan for decades!! Straight up GORGEous!

[@johnc1280]

kelly lynn w you’re not shy of nice looking either ☺️

[@ryanjones4150]

Randomly came across this, it's very good. I am a major fan of music, have a giant album collection, and I have to say, I'm familiar with her first album because my wife liked it, it is so good, not the normal kid of music I listen to, but I love it. She's a real class act and a true artist.

[@franco1188]

she's so under-rated, she has a magical voice

[@grayboo212]

"Underrated" by who? She's known world wide and has sold millions upon millions of albums. It always makes me laugh when somebody feels the need to say a person is underrated when the exact opposite applies.

[@glennkettler2190]

To me, underrated "female" voice and talent brings to mind one lady Johnette Napolitano.

[@singingfedexmanjoshcampbel1614]

@@grayboo212 surely he meant underrated In comparison to the junk artists that are being pumped out by the machine nowadays.

[@BenAlbert]

actually she isn't

[@madcrabber1113]

[@revjamesgraham1]

Love Neil, Love Jewel, love the combination of them together! Thank you Howard and Jewel. I write this as I end my day in a Mental Health Facility filled with damaged and broken souls.

Well I hope you are better now, we are all a bit damaged.I worked in a crisis unit I know what you are talking about.

Jeez how does anyone know this person doesn't work there ? Also one of those meds mentioned is mostly given to kids . I come to KZbin to check out The odd song and to laugh at the BS comments of the keyboard warriors that live in cyber world. EG someone mentions a death = 500 people who had the same experience or have PTSD from thier time in spec ops in Korengal valley , or a competition to see who flatlinne the longest, not that you would know and EMT don't come back to tell you, still KZbin entertaining fairy land with a laugh and no long lasting side effects like acid lol the false empathy and " one upmanship " of YT, " yeah feel your pain bro " ever think you're talking to a 14 year old on his mum's laptop 🤔🙄 .Go call a real friend u grew up with, go for a pint and spend at least one day a week OFF the net 😆👍🤪🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@jsawyer5037]

Beautiful, Im glad ive found this! This is real! I knew alot of good people that are at rest trying to escape pain both physical and emotional I am glad they arent in pain anymore but it pains me because I miss them so! 😇 R.I.P.

[@epep50]

Jewel is still so talented and gorgeous. Christ, I feel like it was a lifetime ago when I bought who will save your soul and absolutely lived my freshman year of high school listening to her album.

[@razback8661]

That truly is the most awesome rendition of that song that I've ever heard. Jewel and the song were one.

[@scottyo64]

I love when she sings this, just amazing!

[@normalpsychology]

No one has EVER asked Howard a question about himself, but Jewel does and Howard is kind of taken aback. It's fascinating to see and it makes me happy and sad at the same time. I wish more people would ask Howard questions about himself, genuinely, because NO ONE does -- ever. Except for Jewel. :,)

[@en5788]

I noticed that too. Sign of a genuine person.

[@mikestewart5194]

Well if you've ever heard him talk about takin a dump, that would curb anybody's interest in him altogether!

[@WeekndWarriorrr]

Yep. It says alot about her character. She's was genuinely curious, and cared what he had to say. She was trying to have a conversation instead of just being interviewed. Seems like such a small thing, but it says so much.

[@slicko69ng]

I think they don't ask him because Howard Stern. Can be a real asshole sometimes.

[@zachroberts1994]

wonderful... not many can cover neil with such difference and it still sound so great. Thank you!

[@TheBrewQ]

She sounds so damn fantastic on this. Can’t say that about many of today’s artists.

What a great version, real passion in her voice.

[@RyanAnthonyDigitalMedia]

Gorgeous & talented.. she’s the whole package

[@Canyoutakemebackwhereicamefrom]

The word compound "cellar door" is said to be one of the most beautiful in terms of the phonetic sound, without taking into consideration the meaning of the word. I first heard that anecdotally and then in the movie Donnie Darko. And now I'm hearing it in this song. There really is something poetic and beautiful sounding about 'cellar door'

[@MarlonDeanMcQueen]

Actually, The Cellar Door was a club in Washington, D.C. where Young played.

[@rowdy4148]

Think it means.. hell's doorway

I was dating a girl that was really into her and me being a douche didn't appreciate her talent. I took my girlfriend at said time to see her live. I was jaws dropped. She is amazing and actually told the crowd they didn't have to sit. It was funny because everyone stood up after she said that and never sat down again. Prior to that everyone was sitting down like we were in the movies. She put on a hell of a show and I am a dude that's not supposed to cry, but I'll be damn if I didn't cry 🤣 She is amazing!!!!

i was lucky enough to see her live in los angeles at the Hollywood bowl a few years ago. she was accompanied by the orchestra which is a once in a lifetime experience because its like having the actual album and all the instruments there. This is how great jewel is, she had laryngitis that night and still managed to belt out an amazing performance that ill never forget. Her confidence and how she can laugh at herself made me really fall in love with her. I wish she does more stuff today.
