They have plenty of songs that will always be relevant. Here’s a few to explore When you gonna learn Too young to die Scam Emergency on planet Earth Revolution 1993 All released pre-1994 🙌🏽
Yup, only one big difference though... Now technology is surpassing scifi. Look at AI for exemple, what we expected was inverse, first jobs to be replaced are the arts and administration. Good luck to all of us adapting to the brave new world.
Jamiroquai is actually a very big influence on the modern dance pop and funk genres. The producer Calvin Harris, who has collaborated with an unbelievable amount of current pop artists like Dua Lipa, cited Jamiroquai as the reason he started making music.
they are also a big influence on the hip hop community too, artists such as tyle the creator, anderson paak , sza or even dojo cat cited them as reference :))))
Calvin Harris is genuinely so insanely good its kinda nuts he just gets forgotten about now as someone who just makes the melodies for pop artists. His "Ready for The Weekend" album from 2009 is still easily in my top 3 Electronic House albums of all time. His singing alone on it is absolutely sensational
The song was created because of an crazy experience the band had in Sendai in the middle of winter. They were confused why the streets were empty, and then discovered everyone was underground.
As a Canadian kid who grew up admiring Japanese tech, i wanted one of those Sony MD Players so badly. I'd go to Sears (an old department store) and just look at them on display. they were like $300. In retrospect im glad my mother never got me one, being that MD format didnt get so far.
This is one of the few songs I’ve seen where people in the comments are actually glad it’s being introduced to a new audience. It’s a nice change of pace & I’m glad we’re all here 😊
I love the final message of the song/video being "Well, it's alright now." as blood is slowly leaking into the room. Really good metaphor for how we ignore future problems because they don't affect us in the present moment.
I just for the first time realized this is a padded room for the insanity part. I guess I was too busy watching the floor and the rearranging furniture LOL
Yes, this song was many years ahead of its time 😊 and there is a lot more to the words/visual and intention of songs than most people ever realize 😉 sometimes the people who write them are governed to write for a much higher force that they are unaware of. The difference is merely knowing if the force and intent behind all music is of good origin. I've never liked crows and it is appropriate they are in this video along with the rest of the content "forget your virtual reality" etc etc. Very good artist 🎨 👍 😊

this text reads as I still want to listen to it sometimes. I will come here again when that happens. The song is great, of course, but this music video is a work of art.
Hard to believe that this masterpiece is over 25 years old now. Seems like 1995 was just yesterday and I was in college. Miss those days. We had the best!

what barrier? there's only a fabricated barrier made up in the mind, likely predicated by the Media becuz they use it as a way to divide and conquer. "looking at the comments" ... people's opinions do not matter, only God.... and music is a gift given by the divine..remember where you came from!
This song is timeless, it's raw meaning will be applicable as long as humans are scared of our own progression. The music is funky, unique and recognizable. And the video, while the cgi might be starting to show its age the rest is super weird and unique. It has a chillness but uncanny weird going along with it. Truly, a virtual insanity Edit:When I wrote this I didn't realize the Bird and bugs were not technically CGI, my point still stands that these implementations are still aged look
Thats the thing - there is no cgi, unless youre talking about the bird. Everything else was filmed in real time, you can even see the corners of the movable "room" shake from time to time

"Time has finally caught up with the lyrics. That's why you can hear the lyrics even better. We certainly live in a crazy world. The world I see from my window is beautiful." That's what this means
I greatly underappreciated this video when it came out. Dude is smooth as silk. Totally diggin the jazz. Lyrics could easily be talking about today's world, too.
This is what separates it from other music videos now. A dude wearing a long jacket, black pants, sneakers, and a top hat doing fluid movements around one set. Classic.
Sebas Aguilar I thought of one and it’s just wires that can cluster to form metal (I left the way metal so made from the stand vague on purpose, because anything from actual knitting to make a wall to two spiralling to make a pole work)
I have referenced this music video for years because of how amazing the song is and my love of the way that this video was filmed. Family Guy mentions it and it resurges in it's popularity. I hope that Jamiroquai are enjoying this rediscovery of their music! They deserve it.
Lyrics: And nothin's gonna change the way we live 'Cause we can always take, but never give And now that things are changing for the worse, see Whoa, it's a crazy world we're livin' in And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin Is all we have to give these
I'm a music teacher in Maine running a summer lessons program. I have my students pick a song to work on over 6 lessons to prepare for a concert. A 12 year old kid came to me with this song. Right now, in his 5th of 6 lessons, I'm having him play and sing along at 85% speed and he's working his butt off. It's amazing to behold. This is such a good tune on so many levels, but to watch this kid accomplish such a hard song in such a short time is next level for me.
this is one of those rare tricks where even knowing how it's done doesn't take away from the magic of it. his movements are so precise yet exaggerated that it perfectly compliments the trickery already there. I miss music videos like these.
So right. The walls move but still cannot see it happening. I just don't understand the couches. If I were in production, I'd use electromagnets to ''detach' the couches when they needed to be moved.
@@slammerw3 There are fairly wide gaps below the walls and in the corners. It'd be easy to have a little hook in that gap that keeps the furniture in place. When it's time for them to move, a person behind the walls unhooks it. In some of the shots, you can see the furniture moving ever so slightly as the walls move, indicating that it's not perfectly adhered up against a wall, which a strong magnetic pull would prevent from happening.
just got back from Zone of Interest, I can now say that this is my favorite music video directed by an Oscar nominated director edit: Oscar WINNING director :)
For anyone wondering how this all actually worked: The original plan was to have the floor move, but the producer had the math done, cost of the floor movement system was around 288,000 dollars. So! they came up with the idea that ended up being used to save cost: The whole room is actually on wheels as the crew behind the video push it around to give the illusion of a moving floor. The furniture also is bolted to the wall until it is time for it to move away from the wall, in which case a crew member quickly unbolts it. Since the camera is attached to a wall you can see small shakes whenever the room starts moving. Bugs and bird were added in post, as well as stage direction marks being edited out. Song was also post editing, he doesn't start speaking until around the 4th word in the song. One final thing: The illusion of the room moving is given away if you have a sharp enough eye to notice during the narrow hallway part, as the others leave the set the walls begin to shake a little. Really interesting how they managed to do all this!
Goat, i figured most of it out but I really thoight the floor was mooving, thats really cool. Means he had to do really precise choreography to move along with the room and not just reflexively like on a treadmill.
This will always be one of the most visually appealing and creative videos made for a popular song. The frame moves most, him within it..not a bit of software in sight...absolutely fabulous
I was wondering how it was done and how he came up with the idea to make the clip, and this comment only concludes, this guy is just a genius, and a very good meme kkkk
It just got uploaded on yt 14 years ago but this song came out 1996 before yt. You can try search this song on the google and it will tell what year it came out.@@shaynelewis9078

When you gonna learn
Too young to die
Scam
Emergency on planet Earth
Revolution 1993
All released pre-1994 🙌🏽
Yup, only one big difference though... Now technology is surpassing scifi. Look at AI for exemple, what we expected was inverse, first jobs to be replaced are the arts and administration. Good luck to all of us adapting to the brave new world.

Jamiroquai is actually a very big influence on the modern dance pop and funk genres. The producer Calvin Harris, who has collaborated with an unbelievable amount of current pop artists like Dua Lipa, cited Jamiroquai as the reason he started making music.
Not to mention: Carter Pewterschmidt
@@TheMuppetKid carter pewterschmidt inspired jamiroquai
they are also a big influence on the hip hop community too, artists such as tyle the creator, anderson paak , sza or even dojo cat cited them as reference :))))
Im literally learning today that its a group not just one guy!!😂😂😂😂
Calvin Harris is genuinely so insanely good its kinda nuts he just gets forgotten about now as someone who just makes the melodies for pop artists. His "Ready for The Weekend" album from 2009 is still easily in my top 3 Electronic House albums of all time. His singing alone on it is absolutely sensational
In 1996 we all thought he was crazy. But now it's a reality. Virtual Insanity is real Folks.
Yes, it became reality...
The world became truly insane after 2012, in my opinion. The end of the '90s was just the beginning...

日本でこの曲が流行った頃、MDディスクが最先端でした。
あるメーカーのMDディスクを買うと、ジャミロクワイのこのふかふかした帽子が当たるというキャンペーンがあり、とても欲しかったのを今でも思い出します。
The song was created because of an crazy experience the band had in Sendai in the middle of winter. They were confused why the streets were empty, and then discovered everyone was underground.
I agree
As a Canadian kid who grew up admiring Japanese tech, i wanted one of those Sony MD Players so badly. I'd go to Sears (an old department store) and just look at them on display. they were like $300. In retrospect im glad my mother never got me one, being that MD format didnt get so far.
Increíble 🎉

it's nice to see the comments talking about how beautiful the song is and how ahead of time the music video was again
Yes, this song was many years ahead of its time 😊 and there is a lot more to the words/visual and intention of songs than most people ever realize 😉 sometimes the people who write them are governed to write for a much higher force that they are unaware of. The difference is merely knowing if the force and intent behind all music is of good origin. I've never liked crows and it is appropriate they are in this video along with the rest of the content "forget your virtual reality" etc etc. Very good artist 🎨 👍 😊

No.
This song is timeless, it's raw meaning will be applicable as long as humans are scared of our own progression. The music is funky, unique and recognizable. And the video, while the cgi might be starting to show its age the rest is super weird and unique. It has a chillness but uncanny weird going along with it. Truly, a virtual insanity
Edit:When I wrote this I didn't realize the Bird and bugs were not technically CGI, my point still stands that these implementations are still aged look
Thats the thing - there is no cgi, unless youre talking about the bird. Everything else was filmed in real time, you can even see the corners of the movable "room" shake from time to time

I made a stand called virtual insanity and it’s user controls is with a ver headset so it’s range is really far.
If we rip straight from the name, Virtual Insanity could be like Man in the Mirror on crack, but that wouldn’t be very original so :c
*Jamiroquai is Weathers Report’s hat Type, so that’s why.*

I'm a music teacher in Maine running a summer lessons program. I have my students pick a song to work on over 6 lessons to prepare for a concert. A 12 year old kid came to me with this song. Right now, in his 5th of 6 lessons, I'm having him play and sing along at 85% speed and he's working his butt off. It's amazing to behold. This is such a good tune on so many levels, but to watch this kid accomplish such a hard song in such a short time is next level for me.
That's awesome!
You should post a video of him performing it and let us know!
To perform those lyrics in sync with the song is a challenge to anyone, let alone for a 12 year old, so thumbs up!

So right. The walls move but still cannot see it happening. I just don't understand the couches. If I were in production, I'd use electromagnets to ''detach' the couches when they needed to be moved.
@@slammerw3 Every time one of the couches on the wall moves, there's a cut just before, whether for the bird or beetles
@@slammerw3 That's similar to what they did using a bolting system to "bolt" and "unbolt" the couches when needed.
@@slammerw3 There are fairly wide gaps below the walls and in the corners. It'd be easy to have a little hook in that gap that keeps the furniture in place. When it's time for them to move, a person behind the walls unhooks it. In some of the shots, you can see the furniture moving ever so slightly as the walls move, indicating that it's not perfectly adhered up against a wall, which a strong magnetic pull would prevent from happening.
There is no trick, he's a magician

I like to imagine that the holocaust is happening just out of frame in this video too

For anyone wondering how this all actually worked:
The original plan was to have the floor move, but the producer had the math done, cost of the floor movement system was around 288,000 dollars.
So! they came up with the idea that ended up being used to save cost:
The whole room is actually on wheels as the crew behind the video push it around to give the illusion of a moving floor.
The furniture also is bolted to the wall until it is time for it to move away from the wall, in which case a crew member quickly unbolts it.
Since the camera is attached to a wall you can see small shakes whenever the room starts moving.
Bugs and bird were added in post, as well as stage direction marks being edited out.
Song was also post editing, he doesn't start speaking until around the 4th word in the song.
One final thing: The illusion of the room moving is given away if you have a sharp enough eye to notice during the narrow hallway part, as the others leave the set the walls begin to shake a little.
Really interesting how they managed to do all this!
Wow! Where did you get all this valuable info. (I need a video to watch instead of studying algebra)
@titicad8938 Hey it should be on Jamiroquai's youtube channel actually, I could be wrong though lol. God bless!!
The part everyone leaves out in the explanation is that the camera is connected to the moving walls, so it move with them.
Goat, i figured most of it out but I really thoight the floor was mooving, thats really cool. Means he had to do really precise choreography to move along with the room and not just reflexively like on a treadmill.
Also it was 280,000 pounds since this was in the UK which is a small correction but still nice to know
This will always be one of the most visually appealing and creative videos made for a popular song.
The frame moves most, him within it..not a bit of software in sight...absolutely fabulous
