Long Way 'Round - Guitar Tabs and Lyrics

[jewelwiki]

New single out today!

[Jessica]

This is a pretty decent little bop!  Listened once and the hook is stuck in my head. Hopefully some more mainstream folks agree.

[kjm030584]

Yeah!!! This is great, I’m really liking how all of these new songs are feeling.

[MWB]

big fan. I feel like jewel is coming into her prime-- PUtP was a few years back, i know, but that and everything since bas been so good. Up there w This Way amd PoY. Definitely getting a lot of respect from the mainstream these days.

[Haynaynay89]

I am totally into this album so far. I have missed some groove and fun melodies from her. Definitely is a bop! How do we know if it’s doing anything at radio? Too early? I want her to have a hit damnit!!

[Javo]

The new album has some groovy songs indeed. I really like it.
