i saw jewel! (and rob thomas smokes a lot) oh my freakin' jesus, i saw jewel yesterday! i'm still not over it. see, good morning america has this summer concert deal going on. pretty much the same as nbc's today show concert thing going on at the rock (just across from where i work at). abc was supposed to do this concert thing at bryant park a 42nd, but the weather wasn't cooperating, they had to do it inside their studio at times square. like the loser that i am, i hauled my ass in manhattan by seven the morning for her 8:45am performance. i saw rob thomas smoking outside while he's waiting for jewel to finish up singing. here's a pic (my phone doesn't have the best quality, so shut up. i think clicking the pic would give you a bigger picture):



abc uploaded jewel's performance in their website, here's the link to watch her sing good day. below is a screen capture from abc, and then another pic i took.




I say to myself
"Self, why are you awake again? It's one a.m."
Standing with the fridge door wide open, staring
Such a sight, fluorescent light
The stars are bright
I might make a wish, if I believed in it but
As it is, I might watch TV
Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me
I say to myself, I smile at the wall, let myself fall

It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be

I shiver, I shut the door
Can't think standing here no more
I'm alone, my mind's racing, heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
WIll you protect me like a daughter?
Will you love me like a father?
Will you drink me like water?
Say I'm like the desert, just way hotter.

Cause the point of it all
Is that if I should fall
Still your name I'll call

It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be

As long as we laugh out loud
Laugh like we're mad
Cause this crazy mixed-up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch, a joke we can't catch, God,
But still we laugh

I go back upstairs, turn off the TV
You say "I'll be okay baby, just wait and see."

It's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be okay,
It's gonna be all right
Just wait and see, just wait and see

It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be okay
Gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
Gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be okay.

Uh-oh, awake again, now it's three a.m.
Standin,
Fridge door wide open,
Fluorescent light
But the stars are bright.
