Track for me has a deep message, specially the first lines and can be quite lonely sometimes when surrounded by people that are on a different channel then you are, its frustrating but a lesson.
normally i dont like music which makes you think deep and brings a few tears , but jamiroqiuai produce all kinds of music , and everyone has the class and quality of legends like barry white and bands like the whispers .no matter what they do , the talent they put into their work is so wonderfull , the instruments and the voice .
thank you jamiroquai , whenever i go out nightlclubbing , i come home and put some of you tunes on because i have heard too much autotune , technfied bollocks for one night , you will always be the light in the dark days which music is going through , thank you , i love you , there it is x
At first I thought this song was good, but a little sad and depressing. But then I began to clearly hear the lyrics and its a wonderfully positive song about someone who has been knocked down and is trying to get back up. And not listen to the naysayers who says its impossible. This song is about persaverance and I listen to it just about every day to feel better. Its all about not giving up on your dreams
this is what happens when a talented vocalists, knowing something about music, has some serious musicians to back him up, and compose with him, instead of radio-style mass music production. i feel happy that some years have passed since he's started to sing and it's still the same energy as it used to be.
Didnt like this song when i first heard it on the album, after a while i startet to hum the melody on the street, now tears are running down my face while i listen to that live version...
@argaretbea in my opinion music that you can remember and whistle is the music that remains forever,art not all the time is remembered.but if you can remember a song then is good music.
I like the harmonic vocals around 3:00 along with the trumpet... instead of stepping back into an previous Jamiroquai styles, it kind of styles itself on old soul tracks (... like Marvin Gaye soul tracks). I'm glad they kept that piece in the studio recording.
First I've heard this, it's nice and not "unlike" Jamiroquai at all. I can't see this being a single or anything like that but a nice album track. Welcome back guys!
@jamiroquai01fan & destituteillusion, I agree with both of ya but keep in mind that the band has had songs like this on previous albums. Some that come to mind, corner of the earth, tallulah, even in my opinion, stillness in time. I appreciate songs like these. It's a balance to the funky stuff.
@lakifran I agree but usually the slower songs are a little more musically interesting and distinctive than this one. I'm not saying this is a bad song, i like the lyrics and vocals by Jay, but if you take those things out of it and listen to the instruments, its a little boring to be honest. It's much better live though as i said before :)
I have to admit that this isn't what Jamiroquai should be doing. I like rock dust light star and white knuckle ride but this is not my kind of music. It's an alright (lol) song but they can do much better than this.
@destituteillusion Well it has some interesting lyrics and the vocals are good both live and on the recorded track, but it's simply not funky enough for me :) It's not a terrible song or anything but i guess we are all used to such a high level from past jamiroquai songs that we expect alot from the new stuff and sometimes, it just seems like it's "not up to par" as you said :). I still think the album will be good overall though. And they're live performances this year were unbelievably good :)
@jamiroquai01fan And there is still the short south american tour to come yet :). I'm looking foreward to that! I think the first gig is this saturday! (9th october 2010). In columbia i believe.
@jamiroquai01fan the whole 'nothin' but rainbows..runnin' like an appaloosa..rollin' like a rusty ship in a stormy sea..talk to the hand' bit makes me want to hurl.. gross. c'mon jay.
@destituteillusion I think he's talking about that kind of attitude to be honest :) listen and think about what he's trying to tell you, Jay is trying to say something to you and other people with the same views. However i do agree that it's a bit ... wet! lol
@jamiroquai01fan yeah, maybe he is. he can sing all he wants about us, doesn't change the fact that he's beginning to produce stuff he would laugh at 10-15 years ago. to me it's a weird way of saying yeah, i know i'm not as good anymore, fuck you for telling me what i don't want to hear..there's that ego
@destituteillusion I don't think he's saying that, and i think they are still almost as good if you listen to the live stuff from earlier this year. I think he's saying that he wants to try a new style "that's where i'm going" but the old jamiroquai is still here "i'm not gonna give up on all the days that i know i've won" and "how can i tell you i know this wont be the last song" so get off my back "the people are saying strange things and i dont wanna listen". :) Thats what i hear. make sense?
@destituteillusion 90's jamiroquai could pull this off, zender's bass, smith on keyboard, JK whe his voice was perfect.....hell they could have pulled most things off....but yeah thats a hollow statement now days i guess......=/
