[edit] Song Information
Jewel explains her creative process for Who Will Save Your Soul website.
"When I was about sixteen years old I took a train from Michigan to San Diego and then into Tijuana and hitchhiked around Mexico. It seemed like everybody else was looking for somebody to save them. I wrote it during that trip, but I had no idea it would ever be on a record."
[edit] Single Information
The original version of Who Will Save Your Soul was recorded in 1995 and then removed from the track listing of Jewel's first album, Pieces of You when she went back into the studio and reworked the single for the radio. Instead of just a guitar and her voice, other instruments were added and more pop sound was created, a verse was cut, and the radio version of the single was produced.
It incorporates unique vocal key changes and is a classic example of her honest lyrics and raw voice.
A commercial single of Who Will Save Your Soul was released in the United States in 1996.
