Jewel - Pieces Of You Lyrics

My father this song reminds me him.

I'm here because of Jonathan Van Ness ' memoirs... Never heard of this artist or that song before... Tough words, but good song anyway...

Thank you Jewel.

looking for this song in youtube thar dont have disclaimer and explanation. fuck this offended generation.

This song didn't need disclaimers when it came out. Amazing how backwards we've become in the name of progress

Crazy. We have rules and regulations for every fucking thing, but that's not on the government, nor the people in charge. That's on society and the media egging them on to give them more. 😔

JewwwWwWwWwwWwWwWWWwwWwW

Anyone offended by this can fuck off this is good music

This song is an absolute Masterpiece. Its Brilliantly written and articulately sung with Perfection. So Glad you posted the actual Words to the Song as its meaning is amplified.

The truth will always offend,great song.

al fin te encontré! !!!!!

This is real life. If this offends you maybe listen to Hanson, instead.

Man oh man, how I could relate to the pretty girl verse, but I actually felt like the ugly girl verse. This song is the truth and the world wasn’t ready, crazy beautiful song.

a beautiful song made from ugly words

As a kid, I'd always put this jewel album (cassette tape) on when I had to clean my room .

Wow!!Very deep!! Best sincere song I've ever heard! I've always loved Jewel.

Haven’t listened to this is 20 ish years. Goose bumps, such raw and deep music.

I just like to sing FAAAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Me too bruh.

The fact that this has to be explained?......

Amazing to look back at this song now. I think the album came out in around 95 or 98 something like that. I used to feel a little sick in my stomach when she talked about the "faggot." I hid my sexuality even from myself for so long....but deep down that line always got to me. Now I am for the most part I am an openly bi sexual girl and I love my girlfriend. I have to admire how far I have come - and how far I have come.

RIP to all those who have been taken from this world due to hatred and ignorance. we are all one <3

This is why this country is torn apart. We're all hiding the darkness instead of addressing it. At least in the 90s we didn't run from our problems, we faced that shit head on with an attitude!

NO ONE In this world is UGLY!!!! Dumb ASS People try to prop up themselves to make the Illusion that they are Better

Why the disclaimer... Are all ugly girls retards? Wake up 3rd wave apologists.

I hate this song's ethics

This song is proof that the pen is mightier than the sword. The haters in the world NEED to hear it.

I am going to sing this song out the power on the street corner do you think that’s a good idea

This song is so lame

2:54your welcome

I think your all angry 🤗

This should be our new national anthem for the duration of the Trump Reich.

and the foreword was the most offensive part of the video......

Hilarious.

Very insightful, real and in an off way beautiful. Maybe the lyrics will resonate in the hearts who really need to hear them.

One of my favorite jewel songs ever

Mine too :)

I Iike this song, but I've always laughed at the "fa-guttt!" And "Oh, Jewwww!" Lines.

Mike R. Me too lol, I feel terrible but I can't help it. I'm a child 😂

a story of 1 person with a 2 faces ^_^ what a nice song but so weird hehehehe

Pro tip:
Say hello to them twice.
When they finally ask why, say "I just wanted to say hello to both of your faces."
That burn tho... :D

This is a very beautiful piece of music.

This song doesn't need play backward shit for subliminal messages, it's honest

One of the realest songs ever

Jewel always telling it like it is. So talented. Unabashedly honest.Then she went country..derp

I hate country! lol

No way! Can I suggest some songs?

first time I heard this song I cried. Simple, yet profound.

It really is..

So did I. I was 17 when the album came out & I heard it for the first time.

@ 41 I have to say I see this totally different, but I remember this like it was yesterday..

Saludos desde Monte Grande, Argentina!

¡Hola!! ¡De ninguna parte, Carolina del Norte!

This is one of my favorite yet rather offensive. We have to judge a person by its personality not color, ethnic, nor sexual orientation.

Pretty sure that's the point

I believe the disclaimer at the beginning is unnecessary... because the bottom line to the song is We are ALL pieces of each other, we all share the same characteristics, we should stop wasting time hating others. We should hate the things damaging this Earth. Pollution, destruction of forests, rivers, global warming.....and most horrible of all the killing and forced extension of the animals whom we are supposed to share this world with.

Hi there Matt ! my dad sent me the new CD of jewel ' picking up the pieces ' have you heard it?

Peace & much love to you Matt:-)

:) Back at you!!

I am glad you that you did post this. There is alot of truth behind her lyrics... it's raw perhaps even too heavy for people to grasp or who may not want to. Her ' message ' is so prevalent in the ' social media... of 2017!' sad but true :-)

When I hear this song is what I meant

When I get this song I cry

I'm surprised people never heard this before. The album sold damn near 12 million. Anyone who grew up in the 90's should remember this CD, I'd think lol

Passthedutch 9890 and that's why people haven't heard it... Because not everyone grew up in the 90s that was 20 years ago

I still love this song and I was born in late 2005 . Ever since I heard it the message has stuck with me

I remember this album for sure, one of my 90s favs, most def. She is so talented and has an amazing voice.

When I was about 6, my parents got me a boombox for my birthday, this was one of the first albums I ever had!

I certainly remember these songs 🥰 mum repeatedly belted jewel ballads as she washed the dishes.. they still give me goose bumps to this day..

this is a really weird song I don't know if I like it or not and I don't think it's a good sign if you hate people like this and want to kill them only pshycos do that but I'm sure there's a greater meaning then that

It's what people say, like they hate them or want them dead,But they are saying, "So you really hate them?Or are they bits of you?" And off topic but Not all people who are "Psychos" Kill people.

Ms. Scary well, it's a 22 year old song. The album sold 12 million. Your criticism is a few decades late my friend.

Are you afraid you're just the same?
<3

This song is so hard to find...and it is raw and honest. So sad that people avoid the truth.

Good night..it is hard to find this completely honest song..jeez people!!

💜💜💜💜

They say she's illegal
But you don't even know her
Her head is covered
Do you want to beat her to death?
Brown girl, Brown girl
And you hate her 'cos she's pieces of you

thank you for this..I believe Jewel would appreciate this ,I know I do

Shut the fuck up. Illegal is illegal no matter what you wear or your skin color. Race baiting bitch

They say she's illegal, do you want her to go home? Does that make you evil?
She is forced by men to cover her head, don't you wish she were free?

No we are Americans. We just want to virtue signal over her misery.

You say she’s illegal cause she’s pieces of you?




Ancestors were illegal bitch

Fuck you bitch! You wouldn't say shit in front of my friend who served years in the Marines. And no, he's white, but me also being born here in the U.S and my parents who escaped dangerous situations in their own country. You would be eating through a fucking straw if you said anything in Tx.

Powerful song 💫

Thank you again

You're welcome again :D

my momma loved jewel so much that's what my middle name is . I love it 😂

My mom had already finished having kids so she named her dog Jewel lol.

Hali Jewel omg same. Awesome.

I love this song but I cry because my boyfriend broke up with me

right now I am😭😭😭

very old but deep and amazing

We need karaoke of this

I agree, I wish there was one. Someone with that skill set needs to get on that.

I loved this song as a kid. Now I realize it's kind of weird. This song is what I imagine you would hear at any college open mic in 1994. haha Jewel has definitely gotten better with her songwriting and singing.

Hi Nola!
You are cute!

And I'm sure if you heard her newer stuff when you were younger you might have had a different opinion. This is a beautiful song and if you can longer see that I suggest you look inward.

very deep

Indeed...

An American Theme Song....lol....every word in this song has a truthful meaning.....

Jewel is a prophet of sorts.

YES, everyone should listen and love this song, not for the words, but for the message !

I then also challenge you to listen to this song, not for the words...but for the message :)
https://youtu.be/B3u_ySYF5Fo

Don't understand why anyone could hate this song despite the use of some explicit words. They have a deeper meaning than just offensive. Anyway, I went through your channel. Definitely underrated quality of your videos, well done. Nice taste in music too!

Wow, thanks!! :)

Yeah its amazing especially the way she varies the speed and volume of the guitar work.

I was very nervous posting this :P

Relevant.

I believe that when this album and this song came out, Jewel was too advanced for us. This song is a good reminder for me, not to judge others. I love this song.

Its a Brutal Song but is also filled with Redemption. Its about exposing the Hatred and Jelousey that lies within so many people.

Matt Jones thank you for this Society needs to listen and understand the context of such great songs✌️❤️👍

I've got you
Kindness
