Jewel - "Hands" Appreciation Thread

"Hands" is a song by American singer Jewel, released as the lead single from her second studio album, Spirit (1998). Jewel wrote the song following an incident in which she considered stealing a sundress after getting fired from various jobs due to kidney troubles, and she decided that her hands were better suited to writing songs than stealing clothes. Written as one of the last songs for the album, the lyrics express how the smallest decisions have the power to make change. A piano-driven ballad, the song was serviced to American radio stations on October 7, 1998, ahead of its planned release date of October 19 due to a radio leak in Dallas, Texas. The song was a commercial success and peaked at #6 on Billboard Hot 100 chart.

 

Deserved to be diamond :clap3:

    Jewel is very underrated on this site, my Dad was like her biggest fan in the 90s so I grew up listening to her non-stop. This song is one of my favorites and I love the lyrics :heart:
