Well I've always liked the singles Jewel put out but I was young when she started... I mean 1995? I was 12 ha ha. I remember liking Hands a lot and then when Standing Still came out I loved it but honestly I was like this big pirate so it was one of those songs I just DLed and put it on a mixed cd with I'm sure some other music I would be ambarrassed to list here haha I can't even remember what came out at that time... that song "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback I remember but I still love that song even though I don't really like Nickelback too much...
Anyways back to Jewel, I didn't really listen to her in between there and GAIW, I heard Intuition and thought she was a sell-out... when I heard Again & Again I downloaded it on iTunes and loved it so I started getting all her cd's (starting w/ Spirit) from my "bargain box" (except GAIW I got the Target cd/dvd)
and I was like WTF was I thinking she is awesome!!!?? So I guess I am fairly a new fan though I have followed her singles throughout the years kind of.
Honestly though before now I don't think my mind was developed enough to really "get" her music.
