"Hands" is the first single released from Jewel Kilcher's second album, ''Spirit'' (1998). A "Christmas version" of the song appears on ''Joy: A Holiday Collection.'' No commercial single was ever issued in the United States, and the singles that were issued internationally received the album version. The radio edit can be found only on promos for the single. Even without a physical release, the song still reached number six on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and the video reached #1 on VH1's Top 10 Countdown. ==Music video== The video, directed by Nick Brandt, begins with Jewel driving along on a rainy night when she comes across emergency workers responding to a collapsed apartment building. She gets out of her car and stands with the crowd looking at the rubble and notices other onlookers walking away in horror and hopelessness. She follows others into the rubble and helps dig through the rubble for survivors, finding a man, alive, under the rubble and later three young children trapped inside a room. Throughout the whole video, she remains calm and collected, full of hope, as chaos ensues around her. She explains the idea behind the video in an interview in 1998: '' "I think the director just wanted to picture an earthquake. That gave the video a somber feel to the aftermath of the disaster."'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hands (Jewel song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
