JAMIROQUAI - ROCK DUST LIGHT STAR - LIVE ON JOOLS HOLLAND - HQ video

http://www.jamiroquai.com/ CHECK IT OUT
Jamiroquai's first single, "When You Gonna Learn", was released in 1992 on the Acid Jazz label. Following its success, Kay signed an eight-album record deal with Sony BMG Music Entertainment. The first Sony album, Emergency on Planet Earth was released in 1993. It was followed in 1994 by The Return of the Space Cowboy. The single "Space Cowboy" gained notice on the charts and in club rotation.
While Jamiroquai was growing in popularity in the UK and Western Europe, they remained relatively unknown to U.S and other international audiences. The band's international breakthrough came with the third album, Travelling Without Moving in 1996, which yielded two big hits, "Virtual Insanity" and "Cosmic Girl". The success of "Virtual Insanity" was due in part to its Jonathan Glazer-directed video, which featured Kay's dance moves and some physics-defying images. At the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards, the creative music video for "Virtual Insanity" won four awards, including Best Video, Best Special Effects, Best Cinematography, and Breakthrough Video.
In 2003 Jamiroquai compiled and mixed a DJ mix album for the Late Night Tales series for Azuli Records. The track selection shows some of the band's funk, soul and disco influences, including tracks from The Pointer Sisters, The Commodores, Johnny "Hammond" Smith and Johnny "Guitar" Watson.
The acid jazz flavours and ethnic influences of the first three albums continued with the release of Synkronized in 1999. Jay Kay's interest in funk and disco music were shifting the band's directions towards such. By their fifth album, A Funk Odyssey (2001), they had evolved so drastically, that some critics and listeners would remark they lost the 'Jamiroquai sound'. With the departure of more and more original band members, including Wallis Buchanan and his didgeridoo, Jamiroquai had become a very different band than that of 1992. In spite of the changes, the fifth album's first single, "Little L", reached #1 in many charts worldwide.
Their sixth album, titled Dynamite was released on 20 June 2005. It reached #3 on the UK charts. The first single, "Feels Just Like It Should" was released early in June, the second, "Seven Days in Sunny June" released on 15 August 2005, followed by the third, "(Don't) Give Hate A Chance" on 7 November 2005.

I didn't care for this song in the least, but now I think it's great- lyrically and musically. The better quality allows you to hear the instrumentality (harmony and melody) better than those random live versions

@cheebalover

This is definitely a grower, got that classic Jamiroquai vibe.

@msdogooder May I challenge you to do something. Watch the youtube video ''Zeitgeist Complete Original 07 with 2010 updates". If you have the discipline to actually watch this film in entirety (and with an open mind which is the most difficult part especially for a religious person ), then perhaps you will watch two more: Zeitgeist Addendum and Zeitgeist Moving Forward.

If you are hopelessly indoctrinated, then please just disregard my message. Peace.

virtuosity as Jay Kay...

[msdogooder]

I use to luv this song but now I will no longer listen to it because the message in the lyrics goes against belief in Christ.

0:34 "No use in getting down upon your knees tonight".

0:40 "Because I got no faith, I've seen those twisted lies thrown back into my face, I’ve heard the crazy doctrines of the human race".

1:08 "I know where I'm from and it cold and dark".

1:55 "I never prayed, I don't have to join in with the other slaves."

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ALLOW INTO YOUR SPIRIT!

[beccccccccccy]

it really grows on you there are not many jamiroquai songs i don't like!

[byrongreen22]

If you listen carefully, he speaks of something to happen eg. Coming at you,

"Rock Dust Light Star

Coming at you baby,

36,000 miles away

Rock Dust Light Star

What you made

And what you areCan't you see

The stars for you and me

Waiting like silent candles in the night"

But damn lyrically immaculate!!!

@indulgeinthemusic Actually he does sing the word "pig". The message behind this song is "Don't use religion as an excuse to go to war", as Jay said on the French tv show "Taratata". The world pig is a religious reference. Some religions forbid people to eat pork, and in some cases they forbid people to even say the word pig! Basically Jay is just saying how pathetic he thinks that is.
