"Down So Long" is a folk pop song written by Jewel and produced by Patrick Leonard for Jewel's second album, Spirit (1998). Jewel wrote the song in 1992 when she was eighteen years old and that she "like[s] it on a musical level, not message-wise." This was the second single that Jewel had not re-recorded vocals for its single release. The guitar in the song was slightly altered creating a stronger sound. A commercial single was not released within the U.S., but was outside of the U.S. The single received a very slight change in the instrumental, which is almost undetected from the album version, it's credited as the radio edit or sometimes the radio remix.

The single peaked at number fifty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it also peaked at number ten on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart. It also charted in the UK and New Zealand, reaching the top forty and the top twenty respectively.

3.78 min. | 4.88 user rating		 Follow me on www.twitter.com/sonnyvp FOR A BETTER VERSION, PLEASE VISIT: soundcloud.com/sgtsonny This is my very first a capella multitrack which isnt Barbershop. Its a song by Billy Joel in a TTBB arrangement by Kirby Shaw. I heard the song for the first time last Saturday and it completely blew me away with its intensity. It is so sober, but it is charged with emotions. I tried to do the Billy Joel version justice, but I am but a mere mortal :). I see barbershop as a challange with boundaries I constantly need to push. I'm always looking for higher, longer, harder... so I just wanted to play it a little cooler with this one. This time it wasn't the arrangement that attracted me in the first place, but the lyrics did! That's why I placed subtitles in my video. Please read the lines as we go, and feel every word. I hope you enjoy it. And if you havent already, please subscribe at youtube.com/sgtsonny or I will hunt you down.. (notice that I didnt put a smiley at the end of that sentence. That means Im not kidding!)

2.92 min. | 4.66 user rating		 The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger. They are considered a controversial and influential band, due mostly to Morrison's cryptic lyrics and unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death on July 3, 1971, the remaining members continued as a threesome until disbanding in 1973. Despite a career that barely totaled eight years, The Doors still enjoy a huge cult following as well as status in the mainstream music industry as being hugely influential and original. According to the RIAA, they have sold over 32.5 million albums in the US alone. ________________________________________ Well, I've been down so Goddamn long That it looks like up to me Well, I've been down so very damn long That it looks like up to me Yeah, why don't one you people C'mon and set me free I said, warden, warden, warden Won't you break your lock and key I said, warden, warden, warden Won't ya break your lock and key Yeah, come along here, mister C'mon and let the poor boy be Baby, baby, baby Won't you get down on your knees Baby, baby, baby Won't you get down on your knees C'mon little darlin' C'mon and give your love to me, oh yeah Well, I've been down so Goddamn long That it looks like up to me Well, I've been down so very damn long That it looks like up to me Yeah, why don't one you people C'mon, c'mon, c'mon and set me free
