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!

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.

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.

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.
