Picking Up the Pieces (Jewel album)
Picking Up the Pieces is the twelfth studio album from American singer-songwriter Jewel, released on September 11, 2015, through Sugar Hill Records. Self-produced, the album is said to be a bookend to her 1995 debut album, Pieces of You.
Background and writing
The announcement for the album came on July 1, 2015, as part of Jewel's monthly "EDA INCLUSIVE" series on her website. In the same post she describes the writing process:
"My focus for this CD was to forget everything I have learned about the music business the last 20 years and get back to what my bones have to say about songs and words and feeling and meaning...It took real effort to clear my thoughts and have no rules and just create - going back to my folk/American roots that I began with."
The album features new material as well as songs Jewel has been playing live since the mid-nineties but never recorded. One of the new tracks, "My Father's Daughter," is a collaboration with Dolly Parton.

Plain Jane
So simple hearted and not so remarkable
As an ordinance with the common folk
Expecting nothing from the coming
Of another person's joke
And what you do remains as empty
When it's full of giving life
So that no one sees the deeds you've done
And no ones hears you cry
You make all the fashion statements
Just by dressing up your mind
Stay free, stay the same
Play it straight
And own your name
Plain Jane
You're a hero and you hardly know it
So it goes again
You're the reason that I fell in love
You're the reason that I am
Your belief in being normal means
To wrap around my hand
You are more than just the average girl
You've more to give the world
Yet you keep your secrets to yourself
Till you press them to a pearl
You are everything the every man wants to see
And longs to be
Stay free, stay the same
Play it straight
And own your name
Plain Jane
You're as you are
Your mother made it so
As you are
Your mother made a star
You'll go far
If you stay free, stay the same
Play it straight
And own your name
Plain Jane
Stay free, stay the same
Play it straight
And own your name
