"Stand" by Jewel

This video is posted for two reasons. First, I like Jewel. She's a talented lady. Second, total disconnect of video with song content. What was the director thinking when they set a social conscience song into a video with gratuitous shower scenes?!! Do I really have to ask the question?

cute...yeah
talented....m'kay
snooze-worthy night in concert, hard time staying awake, everysong running together like at a Dave Matthews concert....you bet'cha....

she'd make more fans with a covers album, and sell more records.

You mean to tell me Dave Matthews has written more than one song? I guess I did notice the tracks had differing lengths on his CDs, so they must be different songs. Jewel was really good in "Ride with the Devil", Ang Lee's film about the Missouri/Kansas border skirmishes during the Civil War. It's one of the best films no one has seen. I recommend it highly.

Having seen the vid and the "art" of the juxtaposition/disjoint... i think i prefer the song without. There's nice things to Jewels voice that I like.

Effect laden voice and sultry camera looks. Ick. So contrived. I remember hearing an interview with the guy that wrote her big hit song. He told a story about being on the way to a gig when his truck broke down, and he was in a big autoparts store looking for a part when the song came on. He thought, wow, I just earned .05 Cents. Why do I bring this up? Not really sure now.

She hasn't come out with anything good in 10 years. When you've lost "it" you have to do SOMETHING to sell albums. Getting naked has worked for so many others.

Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven’t before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven’t before

If you are confused check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around

[repeat 1st verse]

Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
If wishes were leaves the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
Season is calling

[repeat 1st verse]

If wishes were leaves the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
Reason is calling
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around

So Stand (stand)
Now face North
Think about direction, wonder why you haven’t before
Now stand (stand)
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven’t

[repeat 1st verse]

Stand in the place where you are (Now face North)
Stand in the place where you are (Now face West)
Your feet are going to be on the ground (Stand in the place where you are)
Your head is there to move you around, so stand.

I mentioned it before, but if you haven't seen the movie "Ride with the Devil", you really should. Jewel does a very respectable acting job. There is a sweet scene in the movie when she is nursing her infant. She appears capable.

Calvados,
"She appears capable."
I had that scene in my mind from "Raising Arizona" when Gale looks at Ed, bottle feeding little Nathan Jr.
Gale "Why ain't you breast feeding? You appear capable."
Evelle ;"Ma'am, you don't breast feed him, he'll hate you for it later."
Ed "Mind your own business."
