- The original video for RHRN, with an introduction from the wonderful Annie Nightingale, onstage in Romania. Taken from the Jesus Jones longform, Big in Alaska.
I worked security on their first tour. I worked for hundreds of bands and they were the most fun to be around. Their energy was immense and they were very talented.
Particularly the keyboardist. He looks too busy dancing to be able to actually play the thing.
@@66secularist That's a good thing seeing as there's not ONE cord running to that keyboard. Or to any guitar, bass, etc...
Damn you're lucky lol
Makes me think of America & the Black Lives Matter movement. Watching the world wake up from centuries of oppression. It's like the definition of woke.
@@multipletanksyndrome Oh BS. Nice way to besmirch a good song by linking it to some mythical oppression NO ONE living has endured. Perhaps BLM should be asking why 13% of the population is responsible more MORE THAN half of all homicides. What was that number again, 61, 64%? Yeah, it's oppression...
This song gives me a weird indescribable feeling of being nostalgic, yet excited and hopeful for the future at the same time.
That's exactly what it makes me feel too.
It makes me feel pretty stupid for it having caused those feelings
@@RellenMcDee Hope is never stupid.
It makes me feel nostalgic because I first heard it on a car commercial years ago.
You summed this song up
I appreciate this comment.
Listening again in 2024.....Anyone else? It seems so significant now, just as it did when it was released. The World is changing, hope on the horizon once more.
What?
2024 here.......nice profile pic btw...lmao.
the real HOPE for CHANGE. not obama, Trump 2024! Make America Great Again, Again!
@@shanes.6227 Politicians aren't our friends, dude.
This era is no comparison to the early 90's. Not even close.
If you were a teen or an adult in the 90's. You lived the best life.
you must have missed the 80's
I was born in 1981, you are right.
So do I.
@@tjstrongbone5373 I was born in 79. Don't get me wrong, I loved the 80's. But the 90's felt like the world was headed in the right direction. It felt like everyone's dream could come true. And technology was taking off. At that time it felt like those years were the best years to be alive. Then the year 2000 came and it felt like a huge letdown. Then Covid hit and it made me wonder, when was the last time I felt carefree and safe from all the chaos in the world. In the 90's.
the sweet spot, for me, is 85 to 95.
This song is an underrated classic.
It's so underrated it was a hit.
@@gogoyubari366 it was but not one I hear so often on the radio or TV compared to other music of the era
@@gogoyubari366 Kids try to change the meaning of every established word. Sheer idiocy. When a song is a hit around the world, explain how that is underrated? I will wait.
@@davymania700 true
Most underrated comment EVER!!! LOL JK. YOU'RE SO RIGHT I JUST LEFT A COMMENT YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT...YES YES YES!! 💀🎃👻✌💯
This makes me so sad, never thought the late 80's early 90's were gonna be the best times.
"compared to the 80s, the 90s are going to make the 60s look like the 50s"
Don’t forget the 60s and 60s
70s, lol. They were that good!
@@carolmorrison6075 (it's a movie quote)
Hey, I'm an old lady now, and I say it WAS ALL GOOD!
The late 80s-early 90s was such a great time to be kid. Every other generation never had the luck we did of growing up during that era.
The Golden Era of music right there.
So true !
True! Tell me what other eras in world history did you grow up in? You know, so you can actually say it was better? Oh, you only grew up in the one then? oof.
Kids growing up in the late 70's and early 80's had more freedom. I was too young to enjoy it. When this song came out cops harassed us no matter where we parked our cars to hang out. I recall seeing teens in the late 70's have a party with beer and those funny cigarettes they smoked (weed) out of a van in a grocery store parking lot where they bought there beer as the drinking age was just 18 then. Those were the times to grow up in but I was still pooping my diapers or pissing my training pants... but at least I didn't have to sit in a stupid car seat
Born in 92, I caught the back end of it and am totally jealous. I wanna go back!!
Watching the Cold War series on Netflix brought up a very powerful memory. The summer of 1991 I was living in London and hanging out at the Camden Palace (Thursday nights were “Guitar Rock Night” - Lots of Blur and R.E.M.) There had been increasing numbers of young people fleeing eastern Europe and discovering London and the club. The DJ played “Right Here, Right Now” by Jesus Jones. All those kid flooded the dance floor, with images of the Berlin Wall coming down on the screens. There were so many people on the dance floor, there was no room on the dance floor. We just jumped up and down and hugged and laughed and wept. The Cold War was over. “Watching the world wake up from history.”
Dude yea as soon as this came on it got me thinking about "Turning Point"
I remember when this song came out and how optimistic the times felt.
In 2020, I think of this song with the lyric "Back there, Back Then".
+AgentXPQ I also remember when this song came out, it was 1991, the USSR had fallen and it's replacement was the Commonwealth of Nations(did i get it right), and I had the cassette tape which was borrowed, but never returned . What an awesome time it was!!!
You know I felt that there was a sense of hope seeing that the USSR had fallen down on November 17, 1991. But I guess that what I felt it was just that moment and nothing else.
And here we are again!
AgentXPQ perfect
cool
This song was such a big part of my growing up. I miss the 90s so much
It's a anthem for all generations !! Look at today !
I hear you.
Fuckin' eh! The next musical era moving into something different. It was exciting. I was to go from this to grungy distorted guitars of the early 90s and I'm thankful for Jesus Jones being on the radio.
Yep
Kamala Harris brought me here.
30 years later… still watching the world wake up from history.
The great awakening has certainly begun long may it continue…👍🏻
I’ve had those words tattooed in my mind for 33 years. I didn’t even speak English when I first heard it but I still remember that lyric and I still don’t get what it means 😂
No shit
Or die being a guinea pig taking that experimental product 😂
@@Our_creepy_adventures eat shit
the 80’s were crazy…. the 90’s were a new beginning for the world. Everyone was hopeful and the music represented that optimism ❤. I miss the 90’s
The 2020s is like someone farted in the room and left.
bring the 90s SPIRIT BACK! the chronic too!
I was in the USAF in the first half of the 80's, then in college, and my first civilian career job. Compared to the Shytt Storm of the late 70's (stagflation, Jimmy Carter telling us to turn out lights, put on more sweaters and turn down the heaters, while he let all the hostages rot in captivity of the Iranian cult mullah pigs???? That was after we abandoned a million freedom fighters in Viet Nam, and suffered Watergate, and the infiltration of the American Psychology Association by mentally ill "activists" .... P.S.. The Berlin Wall came down.... we had won the COLD WAR (only recently did the leftists Dems enrich the Communists in Russia and China to start it up again!!!!! ) See Ukraine and Taiwan for the next "expansion"..... Yeah... the Domino Theory was just stupid.... sure..
I’m a 90s era kid. The last best decade of television and music and movies ❤
NO! The time is RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! You are missing the point of the song.
As a faithful representative of generation X, this song is included in my "top 10 songs of the 90's" playlist. I listen to it daily to be more precise and it was the first ringtone for calls on my mobile phone.
Yes indeed. This captures the incredible moment in history when the Cold War ended and we had peace with our former enemies. So much hope, then. It is a shame that we didn't do more to bring Russia fully into the fold of the 'West', and they are again our enemies.
Bunch of SAPS!

This content is culturally significant. Posting it on RUclips will ensure that future generations will have access to it and appreciate it. Thank you for sharing it.
Yep, and it's about the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the Revolutions of the Eastern bloc nations from the domination of the Soviets. None should forget the horrors of socialism.
Agreed, but who are you quoting?
@@ViirinSoftworks I did not mean to make it in quotes. It was a mistake. I said it. I love this song. And I'm thankful I can watch it for FREE!
This song is an anthem. It's as powerful and enjoyable to listen to today as it was in 1991. One of my favorites.
@Big BlackDawg It's still enjoyable.
Larry Lee Moniz Well said!
I was 12 years old in 1990. Great time to be a teenager.
As someone who grew up during the Cold War this song really nailed the feeling of when the Berlin Wall finally came down.
There was no one who ever thought in those days that the Cold War would end peacefully.
This song and the Scorpions Wind of Change.
@@arserobinson7118, I agree. Winds of change was the great song during this time.
Totally
When Winds of Change pops up on my Spotify, I still get chills. Was explaining the Berlin Wall & the Cold War to a colleague as their eyes glazed over ....
@@LaSorciereFeuillue Ur OLD.
Born in 1975. I remember the late 70s, played all throughout the 80s, partied and rocked in the 90s. Great decades. After 2010 . . blah!
1976 myself and I totally concur.
'77 ... Miss the '90s, but my chest caves in with sorrow, when I think back to the '80s.
Lembro demais de dessa época de ouro.
I had a terrible childhood so the 80s were painful and I'd love to forget it, but I miss the 90s more than anything. I wish I could be in a time loop and repeat the 90s again and again.
The 90s. America's longest weekend.
I am a Baby Boomer, now 76, in 2024. This is a brilliant song and yes, still listening to it, periodically. And we are still “waking up from History”!
I'm also a boomer, 65 years old, in 2024. This is a nice, little, pop song but nothing brilliant. I'm here because, once again, this song, 'Right here-Right now', has been called 'racist'. I just read the lyrics and there are two short verses and that's it. The writers of the song claim they were moved by everything that was happening in '89 in Europe; the fall of the wall in Berlin, dictator over-thrown in Romania and so forth. I have no idea how this song can be called 'racist'?
Dunno, Gen X here. Seems like the world only changes the bullshit train it's riding.
GENERATION "X"🤪THAT'S US thumbs up if you're generation x and proud
"I saw the decade end, when it seemed
The world could change at the blink of an eye"
Love that line.
This song was a massive hit in 1991....still great.
Oh God, I remember the very first time hearing this song and feeling so hopeful for the future....like nothing could stop this freedom...and now it's 2022 and I'm crying because it truly seems like we're back to *before* this song was released.
the time before this song was for the most part better than 2022 as well
Yeah, we've regressed
Exactly
GREAT SONG!!! We are screwed 😔 Brandon is destroying USA 🇺🇸 everytime he opens his disgusting pie hole!!

68 years here, and when I listen to this song (and some others), I most definitely hear ya! I feel the same.
One of my fav songs from the late 80's/early 90's that takes me back,... newly married, feeling so positive and hopeful.
Looking at the present day state of the world (and my life), would love to go back to those late 80's and feel that again.

This song was SO spot on! This song really encapsulates what the immediate post Cold War era was like. What a cultural anthem!!!
And Vladimir Putin has fucked it up.
I find this song still very relevant, even by today's standards and expectations (Dec. 2022). The Band's name, Jesus Jones, is "so prophetic", in its own right. The song title, "Right Here, Right Now", suggests the perpetual pivotal juncture, that we, as "a global human species, have been latently standing on the edge of tomorrow, namely, our collective state of hostage restraint before "an imminent World turmoil and unrest", especially for the last 75 years to date. Jesus, the lead singer, having written this song ahead of his time, is urging us "to wake up" from the past and enter "the new era of human enlightment and revival", the Age of

Today seemed like a good day to go back and remember how it felt back in 1989 as we all watched history, and remembering how great it felt.
Seemed is the depressing word. They might have been onto something with these lyrics.
Ah. When the wall came down, the iron curtain drew back, and it felt like we really were 'waking up from history'. Such a hopeful time. How did we make such a dog's dinner of it all?
BY letting our leaders sabotage it with quick get rich schemes in Eastern Europe that drove them away from us again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
Islam awakened after a few centuries of slumber.
Exactly my thoughts/feelings. We were uniquely fortunate. Unfortunately history came back with a vengeance in many places. But what goes down must come up again someday...
dimMcratts! that's how.
Ongoing awakening. We weren't done with the work before us; we were just really optimistic at the time. There was a lot going on that many of us were not aware of. Cell phones and the Internet have done a lot to make us aware of the problems that were with us all along and that many of us were able to ignore.
Generation X. This is just one of our theme songs. I think so much about the great times as a teen in those years.
I think this is a gift from Gen X to every generation as they come up into the world, it seems since then we got both bigger and smaller at the same time, as folks come to realize it's always "history in the making" in the now if you know where to look.
as a preteen in those years, it still pops in my head on the regular
I'm from British Columbia, sitting in my van in South Florida, about to drive through the night to do a triathlon in Georgia in seven hours. I'm doing triathlons every weekend until 2030 in the name of my friend, Michelle, who died six months ago. She changed everything about my life. Everything was different after her. She was my girlfriend when this song came out. It makes me think of her...which is why I'm sitting here at 11pm listening to it in my van before my drive. This song breaks my heart, but also keeps her alive. I will never stop listening to it.
I'm sorry about you losing your friend. 😥
Good luck with your triathlons! She will always be with you, but your pain will pass in time...I believe that is what she would want)
Steve, you have a pure heart. Keep her memory alive. This song rocks. ❤
Stay safe
Calm down
This song after the Berlin Wall felt like an anthem for my generation. I cannot help but feel we didn't live up to the promise of that time
Please don't self blame! We the people are not the 'top' 1%:The sociopathic reptillian overlords who run the world.
same
we failed, we made our world significantly worse without the "threat" of them: bad commies, that threat make them live worse and us so much better with expanding social plans and expand freedoms to "compete" with the commies
Scorpions 'Wind of Change' must surely rank up there for an anthem of the era.
This song was very ahead of its time.❤ Even today? It still is.
It is happening!
Geez, what's happened these past few years flies in the face of the theme of this song and shows how unduly optimistic he was in writing these lyrics. And the same goes for the Scorpions with their Winds of Change song.

This guy had one of the best voices I have ever heard. I totally love it. This band is so underrated imo.
agree! I love Jesus Jones
This song was a true signature of this time. I look back and felt exactly this way. The cold war had ended and we believed that we had entered an era of peace (how very naive we were). A musical revolution had and was about to erupt (electro music was booming and the following year Nirvana would change the rock world with smells like teen spirit) and I was a young adult in the prime of my life. I love this song for this reason.
Listening in 2024. Anybody here???

Great song
Of course I am!
2019... 28 yrs later and i still find this to be a feel good song
For some reason this song keeps playing in my mind over the last few days.
Because of how wrong this hopeful feeling was?
@@RellenMcDee Hope? Hope is wishing for something better to come. The wall was down and the cold war was done. The chance that the whole planet would get destroyed in a nuclear war dropped way down. You don't hope for something that's already happened. That's celebration!
It was playing in my mind today; it's the reason I came to RUclips 😂
i remember when i could hear the anthem "we are the world" in my head so crisply...pregnant with my beautiful first born, laying with ears half immersed in the water, in the bathtub circa the turn of the millenium. he was born march 10, 2000. possibly he was already born, but no....i felt big with the fullness and small with the peace, and trumpeted on with the voices of many, in hope and dreams and realizations. My son told me before he was conceived, that he would change everything in this world. Our New Hope
why do i still feel blue.? He is ...a miracle. i want to see him know

Watching the war in Ukraine and I’m devastated remembering this song and how amazing it was when the world woke up from history. 😢
so sad to see history repeats itself
America siempre ganara y siempre se metera en otros asuntos...guerra, pandemia...y Billi Puertas escuchando esta cancion en su casa tranquilo viendo como los demas mueren...despierten amigos..todo esta y estara controlado por sociedades secretas y nadie se ira de este reino.
I got to be involved in part of the history that is not well known. I was stationed in Germany in 1991. I participated in Operation Silent Echo- the safe and secure removal of classified artillery ammunition from the Federal Republic of Germany, as my award certificate states. This song was on AFN a lot. I liked it then and it means much more to me as I reflect on that time. I got to watch the world wake up from history that they weren't necessarily aware of yet, save for the residents of the nearby towns who would have been aware of the presence of a dozen or so Chinook helicopters in the area, plus a few security birds flying security around the perimeter the day before. Not to mention the MP's celebrating over the intercom that night. Physical security was tough duty and they were happy to be released from their watch. For me personally, it had deeper meaning. I have great grandparents who came from Russia before 1917. He was Ukrainian, she was Russian. They didn't speak much about their life in Russia, so that history is lost. They left behind family and I'm sure it was not easy for them knowing of the suffering they endured. I resemble that side of the family and as a child, wondered if there was little girl who looked like me, who would have been a victim if nukes had been used in the Cold War. That haunted me. That's why it was an honor to have been there that day in 1991 watching.......
My heart is with the people of Ukraine. I know you will prevail. This monster is trying to bring back a nightmare, and you will continue to triumph over him. Sinking the flagship of the Navy fleet in the Black Sea and farmers towing abandoned Russian tanks out of their fields in order to get to work preparing their fields for planting is further proof of the strength and tenacity that is going to win this.
@@SilentEcho9194 Your story is so moving. I watched this video just now, feeling the nostalgia of the hopefulness this song radiated - all the while thinking what a lack of hope I now feel. You are a beacon. To the Ukraine: stand strong. Your beautiful history, your people, your country must endure. Let us once again awaken.

This gotta be the most 90s song and video ever made.
dude you are so wrong... this era only lasted for about 2 years 1990-91... then the decade totally changed to another style, and cool stuff like this was quickly (and unfortunately) cast aside.

It’s the kickoff. Berlin Wall came down in Nov. ‘89, Warsaw Pact countries followed in 1990, and the USSR collapsed in ‘91, just in time for Nirvana, I guess. 😆
One of only two famous songs which greeted the fall of the Soviet Empire. A nightmarish empire which suppressed all speech, artistic expression and life choices, and only two Western bands made kick ass songs about it. For that reason alone I will always have respect for Jesus Jones and the Scorpions.
Probably best comment posted :D
Why thank you kind sir! Nice to receive some positive vibes here on RUclips 🌈
As a Cold War Kid, when the wall fell was outstanding! This song gives me the goose pimples.
Had forgotten this gem ran across it by accident damn it takes me back👍👍👍 when this came out in 91 I was 24. I just turned 56 yesterday may 29 2023 where has the years gone they disappear like evaporating water???
At 68 here, man, I can relate! Always loved this song, always uplifted my spirit and sparked inspiration as to where we could go as a planet.
These days, not so much.
They didn't realize they were writing a song thirty years before it would really play out in real time!!❤
It played out in real-time back in the day , I think as I've gotten older things tend to play out a lot like that , as they say for decades nothing happens and then in no time, decades happen.
hahahaha
My fellow GenXers……we got old yo….but thankfully we can listen and take that trip back in time.
I know it! The 90’s music is now “classic rock “ but songs like this are ageless
Took me to 47 in 2024 to realize how slick this song is.
The subtle horns.
I wished my band in 95 had learned this to cover.
Watching this in April 2020 as I work on reports while 'sheltering in place'. After what 30 years or so? I still love this song!
A happy 2021 everyone 🙏 let's make this year better than the former one 👊. 30 years later and this song still relevant as it was in 1991
@D W we can still hope and act as private citizens, as human beings and as a community. Whining won't help, positive and constructive actions will 🙏. Wishing you and your family all the best 🙏
i loved 1991 i go back i was 14
@@shannoningram3840 me too 🙏. Beautiful time 🙂 But in life "the only way is forward". We will create ourselves better present and future 🙏
I vividly remember. In...it must have been early 1991. I was in my last year of high school. I was in the car with my dad and brother both - to date the last time (or near to it) we've been in a car together. This song was on the radio. We pulled up to a stoplight, and across the way there was some girl in her car. She was dancing her ass off in the driver's seat, clearly to the same song.
I don't know who she was, but she was *SO* into it. Her happiness was so contagious it made *me* feel alive and amazed and joyous that I could witness her happiness and abandon in such a hopeful time. So, thanks, lads, for giving me that memory.
Music changes, but we sorely need more music like this right now. Not the style, just message and the musicianship.
This song appeals to the optimist in me.
As it should.
Exactly!
well, when the optimist is done, you should play it for him! :P (jk man. hope you can take a stiff joke ;) )
How did such a talented band fly under the radar?
They didn't. This song got a lot of airplay.
One hit wonder band.
@@keithhinchcliffe4377 two hits. Real Real Real was a big hit at the time, just forgotten and overshadowed
what about mc 900 foot jesus?
they arrived just before grunge swept everything aside. Madchester slowly evaporated too in 1991.
This song came out in 1991 I was only 13 years old and great a song as well.
timeless. alex jones played this on his show a few years back. graduated hs in 91. lots of old memories listening to this and seeing it ...when mtv was music tv.
Watching the world wake up from history! Right here. Right now! It is written. It is done! 😇🙏🏼💜🔥
Praise God! 🙏
Hallelujah 🙌 ❤❤❤
This American, who was born 1965, never thought he would see the fall of the Iron Curtain. This band and this beautiful song sums up that hopeful era for me 1989-1991.
Wow.. Remembering my high school years in the early 90s. Proud of growing up in the 80s and 90s 👍👍😎
In a decade full of great, great music, this song right here was the anthem of that time for me. It just held it all. We were in our 20s, and it was our time; everything was possible and it was all coming out right in front of us...
May 2020. Still love this song, I'm 46 now. I remember when it hit the charts nearly 30 years ago. Xx
This music was a big hit in 1991 in FM radio. I really like the rhythm.
Pure 90s throwback jam!
80s
I had such a cool life experience in October 1991! I was in college and a local band learned that I used to play drums from 4th grade all through high school, and in jazz and garage bands. Their drummer couldn't make three gigs so they asked me to relearn how to play the drum set and learn an 18-song set, and I had never played such a gig. I had one week to accomplish this. Jesus Jones was big at the time and we started off the whole set with "Right Here Right Now". We played at the campus pub and since some of the band members were music majors, other music major students volunteered to do the sound system without pay, so I played on a fully-mic'd drumset, which was awesome from the start when I did the sound check on every part of the kit. From the start of the gig, I had such a great time, but was surprised from the start when a five-piece brass band covered all of the parts of the song! We also played Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" and I was wondering, "How are we going to cover that last part where a man sings in an African language?!" Then a beautiful, young woman, a music major showed up on stage wearing a soprano saxophone and blew that part of out the ballpark!
Why can't music be this good now? Damn I miss the 80's early 90's)
This song was written partly in response to all the tired old boomers constantly going on about how great the 60s were. So you've now become that tired old boomer.
Summer of ‘91 Buffalo NY! This album was on heavy rotation at the restaurant I worked at. Such a great summer and band. I loved all that dancey, psychedelic, funk backbeat stuff coming out of England during that time. So good.
I strive to have the enthusiasm for life that keyboard guy has.
Great memories.
I attended a journalism conference in 1990 that featured a slide show set to this song of images from the fall of the Berlin Wall shot by some of there world's finest photojournalists. It was the most moving thing I had ever seen. It still gives me goosebumps to think about.
This song for some reason pops in my head from time to time i wanna be there
Good times! Miss the 90’s!
Most of the 90's up to 1995 then music truly started to suck @Lyn Raposo.
Jfa
@@mikeysuzefour Maybe in 2000 but since 2010 really sucks
Who knew this song was going to be a forever classic, I'm still dancing to it here in 2020 😇🙏🏼💯🕺🏻
When I lived in San Diego 25 years ago one of the local ABC or NBC stations used to use the slogan "Right Here Right Now" for their news casts so every time I hear this song it makes me think of that.
