My favorite Jewel song; every time you hear it, you can't help but feel so sad for her. Whoever she wrote this about must've really jerked her heart...
I love her. She is awesome!!!!! She has her style just like everyone else does!!! I wish I had known she was living in her car…she could have stayed with me, my husband and sweet doggie!!

the part ''breaking my heart'' was truly heartbreaking and so intense.... u could hear the sorrow in her voice so damn well amazing... such an amazing version
Wasn't in my music comfort zone in the early 90's but Jewel changed that in 1995 with this song. I'll never forget hearing it on the radio in San Diego back then. I was emotionally moved by both her voice and this song. It lives on 27 years later. She's a outstanding vocalist and a incredibly beautiful woman!
I love how she basically says ..... I don't need drums .... I don't need a bass ..... I don't need any of you to tell my story ....... And she makes you feel her ..... It was awesome to see her at Lilith Faire ..... Only person EVER that made an entire crowd fall silent .....
I tell people all the time that I love Jewel's music. Every once in a while someone makes fun of me for it. I then tell them that it was her music that helped me through my deployment to Afghanistan. That shuts them up real quick.
I've been a fan since 1994. My friend who studied in the US introduced me to Jewel. I've been a fan ever since. Not many people know of her in the UK, especially not young people. In fact, only a few of my college friends from the mid 90s know and love her music. She's a special talent.
Oh, where has the time gone? I remember listening to this all those years ago. I was still hopeful then...untouched by the pain of loss and regret. It is still just as beautiful a song as ever. But it stings to remember the me that was then...But alas, time moves in but one direction..........
Foolish Games, the grown up version! I loved it when it first came out...now 20 some years later it is speaking to my heart in a whole new way. Brilliant performance.
This woman is so emotionally agile. She had a hard life, and thats putting it mild. Yet, she decided to not let that turn into stone. Shes able to remain playful, kindhearted, and vulnerable. One may think this beautiful woman singing emotional and spiritual songs is unnatural , cheesy or whatever... but this woman is a very REAL and STRONG woman.
Perfect. Hadn’t heard this in years. What a vocalist. Perfect pitch and control. She is a true singer. Just her and the guitar. She’s beautiful too. Love her. Xxx
My whole body goose-bumped during that amazing finish to this haunting and beautiful song.... One of the most talented singers of all time and one of the very few that can literally make you feel her emotions using just her voice.... even decades after whatever had transpired that caused her to write the song, happened. I feel blessed to have stumbled across this while looking for something else.
Brought me to pure tears...memories came flooding in through all the holes in my heart. Living can be hard at times because love is beautifully brutal. Appreciate her ability to tap into my deepest emotions.
This might truly be the realist versions of this song I have heard in some time and I have followed her since she was rolling in her old van before she was famous. We need to find her street performances for sure Blues and Soul with a tiny bit of country and pop She has always been the full package!
I have always had the biggest crush on Jewel ... so talented and so ....so beautiful. Why is she not more famous. This is pure talent no B.S. She pours her heart out when ever she sings. My absolute dream girl. Each time I hear these ballads I am touched... deep into my soul and it brings a tear to my eye. Thank you Jewel. Such a sweet heart!
You took your coat off Stood in the rain You're always crazy like that And I watched from my window Always felt I was outside... Looking in on you You're always the mysterious one with... Dark eyes and careless hair, you were... Fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care You stood in my doorway with nothing to say Besides some comment... on the weather In case you failed to notice In case you failed to see This is my heart... Bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees, these Foolish games are... Tearing me apart And your... Thoughtless words are breaking my heart You're breaking my heart You're always brilliant... in the morning Smoking your cigarettes And talking... over coffee Your philosophies on art Baroque moved you, you loved Mozart And you'd speak of your loved ones As I clumsily strummed my guitar You'd teach me of honest things Things that were daring, things that were clean Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean I hid my soiled hands... Behind my back Somewhere along the line, I must have gone Off track with you Excuse me... Think I've mistaken you for... somebody else Somebody who gave a damn Somebody more like myself! These... Foolish games are... Tearing me You're tearing me You're tearing me apart! And your... Thoughtless words are... Breaking my heart You're breaking my heart You took your coat off Stood in the rain You're always crazy like that
Whoa!! Ive always loved Jewel, and Ive ALWAYS loved her music too. Ha. Really though that woman is something special! Her voice there is no mistaking! Unique and beautiful. Nough said, her singing speaks for itself!
This rendition is so insanely well crafted. Every sound is refined like she thought through every word and every emotion, took LSD for each phrase and came up with the perfect way to sing it. Nothing extraneous, no sound left to merely being "new" or "different". It is perfect.
Fun fact: some Japanese (mostly women) will intentionally have their teeth made crooked because they believe it makes one look more youthful. It's called Yaeba.
Wow, after 20 years she still has the voice and the emotion!
My favorite Jewel song; every time you hear it, you can't help but feel so sad for her. Whoever she wrote this about must've really jerked her heart...
3:00 thru the rest!!!! POWER!!!!
Jewel you are pure and for always 💕
That is Talent.. I've followed her since I was 14... Loved all her music she is Unique...

Anyone else get teary eyed? Best live performance ever jewel just another level omg
Totally agree, I’m wiping my eyes at the minute. Incredible 👏
Don’t be stupid, it was allergies.
I’m cutting onions… yeah that’s what it is. I’m a grown ass man dammit!
She's always been a very underrated artist. She's the real deal to the core. She never veered from who she was, not once.
It was the best live version of this on acoustic I seen it live n it changed my point of view on my playing the acoustic
The high note on "breaking my heart" absolutely shatters me
Jesse Colton she is an opera singer. I love it too! Her first Christmas Album is life changing.
agreed. I like watching her do it when she dressed up as a frumpy office worker and hits that note. you can literally watch people's mind being blown
Check this one out, Jesse: ua-cam.com/video/rmv1VhrtYRo/v-deo.html
This woman really has something special. God bless her.
She is absolutely incredible. One of the greatest artists of all time.
I could agree 👍, one of the best..
She was once homeless living in her car jewel is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just adore her , That voice!
@@lil69luv84 ✊🏼💜🙏🏼
Jewel had it hard. living out of her car until it got stolen. It didn't stop her she just dug in and she never gave up. she worked hard to make it
I love her. She is awesome!!!!! She has her style just like everyone else does!!! I wish I had known she was living in her car…she could have stayed with me, my husband and sweet doggie!!
Jewel uses her voice as an instrument. A Devine instrument. Beautiful.

She gives me goosebumps. I LOVE her. Even with autotune artists don't sound this good.
Auto tune is terrible. ‘Artists’ use it cuz they can’t sing. Jewel is one of the best to ever do it.
Me too dude
Such emotion, such control of her voice, just love her to pieces! So underated.
the part ''breaking my heart'' was truly heartbreaking and so intense.... u could hear the sorrow in her voice so damn well
amazing... such an amazing version
Irma Lynn what a voice...unreal
So gorgeous
By far one of the best versions... She has perfected the song.....right here.
Yes!!!
Especially at the end. She’s so amazing!! And she sings this one as if it really is breaking her heart!!

Pouderbern f.u. I agree, but search Lorde's acapella performance of Writer in the Dark.
I tell people all the time that I love Jewel's music. Every once in a while someone makes fun of me for it. I then tell them that it was her music that helped me through my deployment to Afghanistan. That shuts them up real quick.
So what?
Anyone who can't see her immense talent has no business picking on anyone much less a hero like yourself.
David Mulvihill bro. right there with you. I say it to my wife all the time. Jewel was on my playlist overseas as well
I've been a fan since 1994. My friend who studied in the US introduced me to Jewel. I've been a fan ever since. Not many people know of her in the UK, especially not young people. In fact, only a few of my college friends from the mid 90s know and love her music. She's a special talent.
Dog Groomer - I think he wants a medal for listening to music.
Jewel is one of the only musicians who can perform live make me cry lol and still sound like it was recorded in a studio
Its amazing that she can sing this with all the emotion and rawness as if she just wrote the song yesterday. Queen!
one of the best live acoustic performances that I can remember - the nuances, the emotion, the talent - she is something special
This song is a masterpiece of all times. ♥️🌻
Oh, where has the time gone? I remember listening to this all those years ago. I was still hopeful then...untouched by the pain of loss and regret. It is still just as beautiful a song as ever. But it stings to remember the me that was then...But alas, time moves in but one direction..........

This comment moved me...and is exactly how I feel at this moment
I could listen to Jewel for hours! What an amazing voice 💕
Foolish Games, the grown up version! I loved it when it first came out...now 20 some years later it is speaking to my heart in a whole new way. Brilliant performance.
I LOVE ALL her various versions....SUCH a BEAUTIFUL voice....WOW!!!!
She's literally so beautiful and her voice is still crystal clear and she's been singing since before I was born! Icon! Kween.
the most incredible female voice I have ever heard.. I LOVE this woman ! ;-)
The transitioning from high note to raspy low gets me everytime! LOVE LOVE JEWEL!❤❤❤
A master class on how to sing a song and move an audience. Where's the love button when you need it? Amazing!
I had the pleasure of seeing her live in 1997 and she hasn't missed a beat. Still has a great voice and still puts out quality material.
And still looks great too . easy on the eyes and the ears :)
This woman is so emotionally agile. She had a hard life, and thats putting it mild. Yet, she decided to not let that turn into stone. Shes able to remain playful, kindhearted, and vulnerable. One may think this beautiful woman singing emotional and spiritual songs is unnatural , cheesy or whatever... but this woman is a very REAL and STRONG woman.
This is very technical and difficult to do. & the emotion can never be duplicated. Cheers to you Jewel.
She'll always own this song, such an underrated artist, a more talented singer/songwriter I have yet to find!!!
She is not underrated.
She's so famous....even in my country. The radio always played her song until now as a classic great artist and music
Jewel is one of the biggest 90s icons out there. She is amazing and far from underrated! 😀
a masterpiece by a genius!
Wow she is amazing live.... Most people can't sing it live just their albums
Wow what a rendition of this song. It still sends shiverers up my spine. Thanks for sharing this x
My favorite song of hers ❤
To love her is to acknowledge you’ve got taste and talent to see her for her beauty and extremely rare musical talents 💕
Still so amazing and beautiful!!!
One of the best performances I've ever seen, from anyone, anywhere.
Simply brilliant and beautiful ❤️
Just as pure and as beautiful as it was when I first heard it... and it still makes my heart flutter thinking about the love that came with it. ❤️
I've loved this song for so long. She sings full of emotion. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Perfect. Hadn’t heard this in years. What a vocalist. Perfect pitch and control. She is a true singer. Just her and the guitar. She’s beautiful too. Love her. Xxx

She has tremendous pipes and a totally unique voice! Also, she's gotten more beautiful with age like a fine wine! Love Jewel
Ethereal. Heavenly. An orb of warm passionate light. Jewel.
Anyone at 2022...so majesticly beautiful! ❤
I love how she is always so true to heart... it always shines through so beautifully with that perfect ache.
Brought me to pure tears...memories came flooding in through all the holes in my heart. Living can be hard at times because love is beautifully brutal. Appreciate her ability to tap into my deepest emotions.
This song will last forever. What a master piece of work! She is the only one who can sing the complete beauty of it.
That watered my eyes. Beautiful. Amazing.
omg, jewel... you bring so much memories... you are one of my favorite singers in the 90s.
A true talent 🖤🙌🏼 I remember when this song first came out, she made me love her music ever since 🥰
I love this women she has such talent and a beautiful voice
Goosebumps every time I hear her live. Saw on American Idol and she is amazing.God bless her. She is very talented, singing from her heart
Incredibly gorgeous both inside and out, with amazing talent to top it all off
This might truly be the realist versions of this song I have heard in some time and I have followed her since she was rolling in her old van before she was famous. We need to find her street performances for sure
Blues and Soul with a tiny bit of country and pop She has always been the full package!
WOW. JUST FUCKING WOW!!!! WHAT A TALENT. AMAZING. WHAT A VOICE!!!
This brought me to tears! One of the greatest artists of our time. Hope she comes out with another album!
Comes from the inside. Does it for me. Awesome song.
Jewel is so underRated .. She is amazing with absolutely NO effort .. Much Love ...
Shes not underrated but people just does't know the true artist
Oh my what a performance, what a voice, and she more beautiful now than she was twenty years ago...
Can’t nobody touch her she’s absolutely beautiful on top of everything else
Jewel is the only artist I’d pay to watch just stand there with a guitar! She doesn’t need all the theatrics, love her!
Her and Adele!
She's really really really talented!!!! Love her voice so much!
That was such a beautiful performance!!!
Wow. Gave me chills .....love her.
The voice of me. No one can be you, my precious jewel.
Sends a shiver every time,stunning.
I have always had the biggest crush on Jewel ... so talented and so ....so beautiful. Why is she not more famous. This is pure talent no B.S. She pours her heart out when ever she sings. My absolute dream girl.
Each time I hear these ballads I am touched... deep into my soul and it brings a tear to my eye. Thank you Jewel. Such a sweet heart!
Beautiful inside and out. Love you Jewel from Houston Texas
Wow!!!!!!!!! Beautiful
She was raised right, honest, to the bone, music shows it
Gives me goose bumps all over.......
One of the songs that I hear in the radio and instantly fall in love of the song!!!
2020!!! We NEED MORE JEWELL!!!
10/10,. Wait, this is so raw, emotional and supernatural that it is deserving of 100/10. Extra, extra credit.
I love love love Jewel
Amazing and timeless voice, definitely an under-appreciated female talent who does not sell herself out or short.
It's 2024. She is still amazing.
You took your coat off
Stood in the rain
You're always crazy like that
And I watched from my window
Always felt I was outside...
Looking in on you
You're always the mysterious one with...
Dark eyes and careless hair, you were...
Fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
You stood in my doorway with nothing to say
Besides some comment... on the weather
In case you failed to notice
In case you failed to see
This is my heart...
Bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees, these
Foolish games are...
Tearing me apart
And your...
Thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You're always brilliant... in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes
And talking... over coffee
Your philosophies on art
Baroque moved you, you loved Mozart
And you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
I hid my soiled hands...
Behind my back
Somewhere along the line, I must have gone
Off track with you
Excuse me...
Think I've mistaken you for... somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself! These...
Foolish games are...
Tearing me
You're tearing me
You're tearing me apart! And your...
Thoughtless words are...
Breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You took your coat off
Stood in the rain
You're always crazy like that
Whoa!! Ive always loved Jewel, and Ive ALWAYS loved her music too. Ha. Really though that woman is something special! Her voice there is no mistaking! Unique and beautiful. Nough said, her singing speaks for itself!
3:20 one of the most incredible things I've ever heard. Wow!
Jesus, what a beautiful voice. I like her since 90's, great artist...
Greetings from Croatia
The most beautifull Jewel, odd nobody replied ever again after this was posted :O
Oh my god! This version is perfection.
goosebumps!rare talent that comes and jolts you!still hoping for a talent to change today's music world!
just stunned........... wow, so pure
This rendition is so insanely well crafted. Every sound is refined like she thought through every word and every emotion, took LSD for each phrase and came up with the perfect way to sing it. Nothing extraneous, no sound left to merely being "new" or "different". It is perfect.
Her imperfect teeth makes her more beautiful.
I don't know why, but it does.
China Teves I agree, I've always thought crooked teeth can be quite sexy on some people
agreed I always notice imperfections first and hers is just perfection.
Fun fact: some Japanese (mostly women) will intentionally have their teeth made crooked because they believe it makes one look more youthful. It's called Yaeba.
It makes her look more authentic other than she would with a perfect white Hollywood smile
it gives her character plus shes got a great body
she really has that voice and delivery that captures a tone and mood sublime....ARTIST....
Omg what a voice!!!🙀she is beautiful
I love her music so much 💕
A truly talented and beautiful musician
Jesus she's amazing
Beautiful!!
🎶🎵💖
Awesome as always, no one compares!
Beautiful !
I could just listen to that forever.😊
Wow as if this song didn't make you want to jerk a tear already! This made me cry, so much emotion
Damn, the dramatism she puts in this song, the emotion. What an excellent version of this classic.
OMG! This is so good. I can feel her pain
This fullish games are tearing me apart. You are breaking my heart.
