Jewel says:
External Links:This, like Pieces, was written in three minutes, or something ridiculous. It was a word burp, when your so upset or passionate about something that you throw up words. Also like Pieces Of You, I thought everyone would hate it. I wrote it because I'm tired of being cynical. It just doesn't feel good anymore, yet the world seems to stomp any tender notion we may hope to have. Originally the 1st line was "I was thinking that I might die today...." but I saw a recycling bin and remembered someone told me the power of the brain is to recycle thought. Just like a water filter it can take in an Ugly thought and turn it back out as something much more palatable. So much pollution begins with our minds it's amazing, and to quote the sageistic dadeo's of Earth Wind an Fire "Your only as beautiful as your thoughts."
| Warner Chappell music | If any song on Pieces Of You sums up Jewel, "I'm Sensitive" is the one. There has never been any question that... |

Jewel says:
I've never enjoyed things that lose their grounding. Like I talked about blind optimism, because of that I don't like people that are as optimistic. I don't hate to feel the ideology bothers me, because it doesn't seem more grounded in the world. There is suffering, there is problems. What are we doing about it? Are we staying real about how we'll get over it, or are we just acting like it will be fine: 'the children are the future and we don't have to do anything today'. For me that song was a look into what we do and how we do it and why we do it. And that we have to get very practical and realistic about how we overcome it. And what we put our energies into. And if we keep putting all our energies into this, then of course that will be reality. If we put our energies into this, this will start being reality. So making a sort of choice about what our realities will be.(Interview Answers Atlantic promo-only cd PRCD-8939)
