very surprised by how little views this has, given the radio play it got here in the UK. She doesn't even have a proper Vevo channel which is a sign of irrelevance if ever there was one.
Forget Lily Allen. Jem is a cut above! LOVE this song .... if Jem inspires, I would like to recommend Washington (Megan Washington). Different but another inspiring female lyricist. Other than that, Tori Amos is a traditional favourite. If I was Jem, I would like to be short listed with these amazing ladies ......
I love the words to this song because it's such a positive outlook on not taking life so seriously. It's great. Life's just a ride... and in the words of Queen, "nothing really matters..."
She seems to be a quite a bad singer. I was listening to her first album and sometimes her voice is very low in the mix or otherwise she does like 4 overdubs like this song. Her melodies also has quite a small range and are very simple and her voice seems to always just lazily gloss over the notes in a loose sense. I guess this could be cute or something but in this case I usually just find it annoying. A bit like Lisa Mitchell but I find her better.
I have to say.. i didnt much care for Jem at first but she has a way of getting under your skin in a good way... found myself humming her songs i really didnt like (or so i told myself0... now more and more of her songs are finding their way into my favorites list and i am finding myself telling ppl how good she is :)
@metalheadneji what do you mean you would want to marry her? what a stupid random comment, do you normally go around saying you want to marry strangers?
Love that Welsh deliciousness! You can sense her awakening (as in "Finally Woken")... So much purpose and depth... and I think her style even has the ability to get through to the masses! Always a good message with her; so Positive! BIG Thumbs Up.
I can't quite figure Jem out. Her songs have such poppy, accessible, radio-friendly sounds to them, but the messages are often rather subversive (for instance, with "Finally Woken" and "They").
Nice to see a beautiful girl like Jem making her way... nice to see a clean, inspirational singer... such a nice girl, very talented... Good for her!!!
personally, I think Jem missed the point. she says, "so live it, just gotta go with it, cause this rides, never gonna stop"
and what Bill actually said was, "Its just a ride and we can change it any time we want. Its only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now, between fear and love."
What a great song and she has a lovely voice..it doesn't hurt that shes hawt ^^ I mean have you ever heard a song and the girl was hidious? it ruined the song lol well just my opinion
@ArkanTheClean look, you know nothing in this world is free. so i'll make you a deal, you get me mary weiss's number, and i'll get you jems' deal? and that's mary of the shangri las.. :)
