"'Til It Feels Like Cheating"
(Lisa Carver, Liz Rose)
This song marks the first time in Jewel's career she recorded a song she didn't write. Co- producer John Rich ran across this powerful country song that really blew them both away and so they decided to record it. "The concept of this song is unique- it's about having an affair with your own husband," says Jewel. "The writers did an amazing job with this tune. I'm thrilled to have it on my record."

"Everything Reminds Me of You"
(Jewel, Joel Firstman)
The pain of a break-up is tough enough. But when everything you see or hear reminds you of him, that cuts even deeper. Jewel and her friend, singer/songwriter Joe Firstman, put that feeling on paper to create an expressive ballad about getting used to painful memories. You can hear the conviction in Jewel's voice throughout this tune.

"Loved By You (Cowboy Waltz)"
(Jewel)
Jewel wrote this song for her dad, who she credits for inspiring her to revisit the cowboy music of her youth. Raised on a remote ranch in Alaska by her father, "this song recalls the fondest memories of my youth- sitting around open camp fires and listening to my dad's cowboy poetry and music," Jewel says. This is the first time she yodels on a record, a skill her father taught her at the age of six years old.

"Perfectly Clear"
(Jewel)
Whenever she's writing a song, Jewel asks herself if it's a song her heroes would like if they heard it. Like Bob Dylan, or Merle Haggard. On this title track she put together words in her quintessential style to create her flagship country song. Adding a little jazz trio with an upright bass, a piano and a shuffle gives it a progression through the melodies that suits the song perfectly. "This song takes place in a single moment," says Jewel. "I wrote this song when I was 18 years old and I've always been proud of this lyric. I'm so happy it finally made a record."
