This song is so hard to find...and it is raw and honest. So sad that people avoid the truth.
how is it hard to find?? it is on spotify and youtube
Forgot all about this song- so well written and will sadly probably always be relevant. We are all one and pieces of each other. Be kind guys ❤
RIP to all those who have been taken from this world due to hatred and ignorance. we are all one
That's why I'm here
I Love Your Comment.. It's straight real, short but yet it says so much baby doll
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
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..
James P my first CD, I didn’t really get some of the songs and then years later I was like damn! Some deep topics in this album
Childhood favorite. I love to dive deeper into the lyrics. It doesn't matter who you are everyone's sinful and we have predisposed inclinations of the heart.
Everyone can draw a whole new meaning from this song.
FACTS
Haven’t listened to this is 20 ish years. Goose bumps, such raw and deep music.
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.
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.
Jewel always telling it like it is. So talented. Unabashedly honest.Then she went country..derp
No way! Can I suggest some songs?
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.
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 :)

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.
very old but deep and amazing
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 :-)
Are you afraid you're just the same?
This is a very beautiful piece of music.
Yep :)
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.
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. 😔
I mean, this song says some pretty horrific things that gave me pause, and I infiltrate incel forums to push people towards help.
Also, what's wrong with having empathy towards people? A disclaimer doesn't hurt you.
@@blacklightredlight2945 artistry shouldn’t be given warnings. It ruins the surprise that the artist intended for people to experience.
Powerful song 💫
Agreed
An American Theme Song....lol....every word in this song has a truthful meaning.....
Jewel is a prophet of sorts.
As a kid, I'd always put this jewel album (cassette tape) on when I had to clean my room .
This song is so relevant in our world today the truth always hurt. With that being said it's also needed Thxs for posting this song...
my momma loved jewel so much that's what my middle name is . I love it 😂
Aww :)
Hali Jewel adorbs💎❤🎵
My mom had already finished having kids so she named her dog Jewel lol.
Hali Jewel omg same. Awesome.
Thank you thank you thank you so so very much Jewel for all of your songs! Imagine being as brave as she is to sing this!!! 😘😍💓💕🤩😓👏
Excellent album and single.
Found this on accident and I’m really glad I did. Beautiful song. Thank you.
Who still listing in 20/20
me
One of my favorite jewel songs ever
Mine too :)
I'm here because of Jonathan Van Ness ' memoirs... Never heard of this artist or that song before... Tough words, but good song anyway...
Still relevant in 2023
@ 41 I have to say I see this totally different, but I remember this like it was yesterday..
This song hits home RIGHT here haha
Good night..it is hard to find this completely honest song..jeez people!!
Song is so deep and so relevant
Literally Stan Twitter language in this song
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 😂
Rude Jude brought me here
same how the fuck did I sleep on this its not like it was hiding
Deep. Daring. Great song.
Very insightful, real and in an off way beautiful. Maybe the lyrics will resonate in the hearts who really need to hear them.
I was very nervous posting this :P
Matt Jones just kick that ugly girl in the face!
Matt Jones nothing to be nervous about, this song is fantastic :)
Man, you did the right thing. Don't worry about it. You rock! #PayingAttention
We're going to win this. Guaranteed.
Matt Jones I think it's fine. It's Jewels song and her thoughts
Very powerful song hopeful the meaning doesn't get lost in it... Well done....
I love this song my sister use to sing this to me when I was little aww
Thank you Jewel.
If no one gets the real meaning of this song God Bless Them!
This song is proof that the pen is mightier than the sword. The haters in the world NEED to hear it.
When I get this song I cry
The truth will always offend,great song.
Thank you again
You're welcome again :D
Love this Song thanks for putting up thr lyrics!! x0x0
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
Thank Matt!👍
i bought the album when it came out on cd i like all the songs
Saludos desde Monte Grande, Argentina!
¡Hola!! ¡De ninguna parte, Carolina del Norte!
Peace & much love to you Matt:-)
:) Back at you!!
This is real life. If this offends you maybe listen to Hanson, instead.
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!
My father this song reminds me him.
🍀
agree
Hi there Matt ! my dad sent me the new CD of jewel ' picking up the pieces ' have you heard it?
To the comments posted before this one.
You must know what ugly truly means and find it offensive..... I think it's great
This song doesn't need play backward shit for subliminal messages, it's honest
One of the realest songs ever
very deep
Indeed...
ikr
We need karaoke of this
I agree, I wish there was one. Someone with that skill set needs to get on that.
A beautiful song written about herself to herself from herself
The fact that this has to be explained?......
al fin te encontré! !!!!!
It's just so stupid and sad that we put labels and push people away based on stupid categories we invented :\
This song is the best of Humanity ......We as a society Represent the "ugly Girl" We as one are pieces of all of us... hope that makes sense
TONIGHT IS HEAVY 🫶
This song is still fantastic in 2021 during Covid. I have this album and I love the whole thing. Jewel does this type of song with a punch and a strong emotional feeling. I love it. It certainly made me think. :)
a beautiful song made from ugly words
The meaning doesn't matter if the form doesn't hold up.
There is also about a hundred words for homosexual and I promise you he will never opt for calling himself a slur XD
💜💜💜💜
Great
❤
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!
......girl you do *not* have the right to reclaim that slur in verse 3 holy freakin crap???? O_O
Still makes a point
When I hear this song is what I meant
Me too. Every time.
2:54your welcome
😊❤GVB 🎶💕🙏
I hate this song's ethics
💖🙏💕💗😁
I love this song but I cry because my boyfriend broke up with me
right now I am😭😭😭
:(
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
I know that isn't the point of the song but the lyrics, "shes a pretty girl, dont ya wanna tie her down" MAKE ME FEEL SOME SORT OF WAY
I think your all angry 🤗
Hilarious.
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.
Fucking top kek. This is too funny. How is this real?
It’s truth.
Everyone calls this song "deep". The music is well written, but the lyrics sound like they were written by some 15-year-old hippy. This song makes her sound like an airhead who's TRYING to be profound. I think it's hilarious personally. This is the only song of hers that makes me cringe. Well, Fatboy also makes me cringe. She's at her worst when she's trying to stick up for people cuz she always goes right for the "word" that's offensive. "You say he's a Jew"...is there anything wrong with that sentence...what if he IS indeed a Jew...then it wouldn't be such a bad thing to call him then would it JEWEL???
Raw, honest, direct, heartfelt - but I'm not convinced that we all call the lyrics deep. Indeed I believe she was 16 when she wrote this. I'm guessing you're not a Jew because you wouldn't have experienced the irrational hatred that can be directed. Try to embrace the different state of mind of someone else.
I don't think you understood why I thought the "Jew" part was stupid. I said it was stupid because saying someone is a Jew when they ARE a Jew isn't an insult. If she was 16 though, it all makes sense.
@@666gorewhore I don't think thats her point.. Yes, calling somebody a jew isn't an insult at face value. But clearly she is singing about when people use the word in an insulting way. Not sure how that went over your head.
@@natalie-lb2zt It didn't. I watch South Park.
@@666gorewhore it’s the notion behind what people perceive Jews to be- just how people judge pretty/ugly girls.
This song is so lame
