Jewel’s “Stay Here Forever” is at No. 3 on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown, and she’ll be the featured guest when Nan Kelley hosts this weekend’s edition.

It’s been 14 years since Jewel first came to national attention with her pop hit “Who Will Save Your Soul,” and in that time, she’s gotten to know a good bit about videos and how they fit in a career.

“I love doing videos because they allow you a chance to complement your lyric and your writing,” she told The Tennessean.

“Stay Here Forever” came directly from the Valentine’s Day soundtrack and carried Jewel for several months. She recently shot a new clip in Nashville for her latest single, “Satisfied,” which examines a topic that’s often taken for granted.

“It’s funny because I feel like we all are interested in happiness, but I feel like very few of us sit down to actually see how much we’re doing in our day lends to our happiness,” she said. “It also seems like when you’re a kid you have all these goals about what you want your life to become. Now when you accomplish those goals, you have to re-evaluate and see if they are making you happy because what makes a person feel satisfied might be different than what you thought. It was for me.”

In addition to Jewel’s appearance on the Top 20, Kellie Pickler will debut her new “Makin’ Me Fall In Love Again” video.
