Hey everybody! Stop praising ONLY Jay Kay! For example, try to imagine what it would sound like without Paul Turner's funky bassline / without backing vocals /without strings / without this clavinet thing. Still, great band, great song, personally - my favourite off "Dynamite".
I never understood when folks said Jay sounds like Stevie Wonder but the way he's singing here does remind me of Stevie for some reason. Anyway this is one hell of a song from one hell of a band. I <3 Jamiroquai.
Question, why isn't jamiroquai THE most popular band in the world? this electronic, dancey, no instrumentation, shitty computerised shite that passes for music can't touch jamiroquai in any aspect.
WARNING 1 THIS RECORD CONTAINS EXTREME FUNKYNESS AND MELODICNESS WHICH MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY LACK OF BREATH AND ENLIGHTENMENT. PLEASE DO NOT ADJUST YOUR DIAL.
The song is about Jesus Christ (Superman) coming back to save his people. Listen to the lyrics closely. He also talks about Christ in Manifest Destiny(<<<<check this song out) and Rock Dust Light Star -- although he sounds a little angry in Rock Dust.
@cyman11 dude, it's a critique of organized religion. same with rock dust light star. the pre-chorus of this song "i thought you came down from heaven to save souls" and whole second verse is dedicated to commercialism in christianity. The chorus names superman and george clinton's Starchild as messiah figures and discusses how this starchild, even if he comes, won't save us "from what we've begun" since that would remove us from responsibility, but rather inspire us to do better for ourselves
Dang you Jamiroquai - you can do no wrong! I would cut off my foot to be in the studio with them for a day, I swear I would. I love them sooo sooo much....
Please Jesus, don't let me go deaf! What would my life be like without being able to hear such magic.... I don't wanna know.
Maaan, I'm 16 years old...and I don't know how were the 70's but this makes me feel and dance like a young Travolta! Alright! Jamiroquai rocks, he can makes you dance and at the same time make you care about our planet earth.
It's a great combination for me, Jamiroquai kicks ass yeaaah!
It is scientifically proven that you get 100% funkier by listening to this song. The speed at which you get funky is directly proportional to the volume at which you listen to it. You can't help it, it's just science.
how can anyone like anything this twat does?? he is rude, big headed and nothing more than a drugged up pip squeek !! i would give anything to punch him in his face !!
@aIteredbeast I'd say I would probably try to break my hand on Jay's face too, just to knock him down a peg. I would immediately pick him up and buy him a beer though, because his music is fucking awesome and hasn't stopped being awesome for 18 years. That's like 3 times longer than the Beatles even existed, mind you...
@aIteredbeast Well you're a knob head. I think Ronaldo is a twat but that doesn't mean he isn't one of the best footballers ever. Get a grip and listen to the music.
@aIteredbeast How is it sad?? the people who run the radio keep playing it some times not everyday. Only that one time they played Jamiroquai's music one after another it was like a Marathon of his music.
Jay Kay and the band can do no wrong. I have every album and the're all solid. Feel good tunes...great when your cruisin or at a get together. Just throw on the Jamiroquai and let the groove take you away...cause the kid's got a funky soul.
Each time I hear this... I imagine myself in Chicago Memorial Day Weekend and the beginning lyrics w/ the bassline start up... "I've never seen the sky so angry, Starchild... You've got to do something about these.... Mind Crimes" as a tornado front comes forth... the battle between elements and the emotional power of music... with the variable of excitement of Bear Pride 2010... I'm sitting here imagining myself playing the bassline.....
i just came in from work, had a bad day and thinkin bad thoughts, played this song and at least for now the little things that were bothering me no longer means a thing. thanx Jay Kay.....
great song..."dynamite" was my favourite cd of 2005, and 'starchild' is pretty much my favourite song, along with the title track, from the cd.....come on, jk, when are we gonna be blessed with another jamiroquai classic?
Best song ever. Even if it's somewhat derivative of The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive". Those strings, the female harmonies and Jay's ad-libbing KILL the whole thing. It's a wrap.
This song 'grows on me' every time I listen to it, again & again, because it has an irresistable groove with a lot of string arrangements going on in the background,an awesome tune
with fabulous lyrics thrown into the mix.... I JUST LOVE IT !!!!
this song remindsme the 60´s ,its a shame that this song dont have a video, but the point its that this song makes me feel amazing, i dance when i hear this song, to dance in a discotheque its perfect, to dance its perfect too for me dynamite its a gold album the best album off the all times, its best album that syncronized or emergenci on the planet earth.
My ears live for the bass.
