A woman on the radio talks about revolution
When it's already passed her by
Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about
You know it feels good to be alive
I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history
I saw the decade end, when it seemed the world could change
At the blink of an eye
And if anything
Then there's your sign of the times
I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now

Another great story!
Just like to say, i know this is a 'moot linguistic point' but, i feel "those were different times" is kinda the wrong way round.
In the present, things are as they are. In the future they will (most probably) be different.
So in terms of relativity, it is the present that is 'different' to the past. if you see what i mean.
'Ya know, these are different times'
WOW! This was such a ubiquitous hit; all over MTV and the radio stations, when I worked my second stint in Summit County, as a Lift Operator at A-Basin, the long and what seemed almost never-ending season of 1990-'91, and I can't forget how, one bright and sunny day in between relentless powder-storms, at quitting time, we all gathered ourselves together and started downing pitchers of beer and shots of tequila, with this playing on the screens and through the jamming sound-system... Within a year, I'd be back down in Boulder, in Grad School, newly married, and on a path back to Japan and on to continue exploring every continent except Antarctica, and though none of us could have known how quickly the time would fly, we all treasured -- and drank endless toasts to -- being right there, right then. I still try to feel the same these days, but... -- Ya know, those were different times...

Perfect theme song for many occasions. I've heard it in the background of many presentations, shows, etc, over the years

This also happened to be a pop-radio/MTV staple right when the US launched "Operation Desert Storm" in 1990.
One of the big songs from the Desert Storm days had to be "Show Me The Way" by Styx. There was some remix of it a lot of radio stations played that had sound bites from the news. It was on a LOT, then unceremoniously forgotten by 1992. I'm sure YouTube has it though.
So catchy. Rocks so hard. Not bad for a song of this vintage.

It was an interesting time and a great opportunity that was totally squandered. No great shock, though, as human nature will never change. Just look at what's going on in the Ukraine as the USSR begins to reconstitute itself and wave its nuclear weapons in our faces again.
This should have been followed by History Repeating by The Propeller Heads (w/
Shirley Bassey). Just to put things back in proper context.
Did the world wake up from history in 1990? Or ever?
Berlin wall etc. I guess.

You need to pay attention to What he is watching on that TV. The Fall of the Iron Curtain...That is what the song is about. The communists lost the cold war and the people finally were free, and took it out on the Wall in Berlin. Having relatives stuck on the wrong side of the Curtain (and knowing others stuck inside East Germany) makes this song even more poignant. Watching The World Wake Up From History....Connie the Commie said We Will Bury You, and they failed. Sadly too many still think that those are good policies.....idiots.
This also happened to be a pop-radio/MTV staple right when the US launched "Operation Desert Storm" in 1990. This song was a nice/ironic anti-war anthem for the time.
I was 20 and the perfect age to get drafted (if it came to that). My parents still had (have) PTSD from the Vietnam draft and were openly talking about whisking me and my friends off to Canada (if it came to that). We weren't that concerned but, having now lived through two decades of wars in the Middle East, maybe we should have been.
Anyhoodles... my point is that I think this is a pretty great song that perfectly captured that moment in time.

How did that work? Did the director just put swimsuits in different places and film? Because I can't imagine that you would dehumanize a person by reducing them to an article of clothing. That would be gross.
Also helps that this was the theme song for a 1980s Tampa cable TV show featuring young bikinis in various local settings.

This song really hits my sweet spot: catchy tune, raspy vocals with a positive message, and the sub-aural guitar solo is excellent.

The knee-Jerk reaction that any song that was a pop hit is somehow "useless" and should be summarily dismissed as "fluff" say more about the person commenting than the song. Despite the incessant need of those individuals to diminish art than many people like and enjoy.

put this song into the playlist for our pinning ceremony from nursing school. Still puts me in a positive place. Nice one for today
this song seems to offer a lot but never delivers.

Well said, mostly. The fall of the Berlin Wall was shocking. The dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party was mind-blowing. Most people who grew up with the Cold War assumed that there was going to be a standoff quagmire for the rest of their lives. This song captures the hope that all that bullshit was going to disappear forever. It's a shame that Russia is still intent on bullying its way to a sphere of influence, but the collapse of Communism is one of the best things that happened in the 20th Century.
Too bad Jesus Jones couldn't find more success.
Yeah, it was a time of optimism, seems so long ago now...

Yessssssssss

Don't hear this much anymore. Kudos to RP for digging up this gem.
Haven't heard this in an age, might need to fish my vinyl out. Doubt and Liquidizer were great albums.

8yrs since last play...I love this song...brought Jesus Jones to MIT Spring Concert 1990...good call, this song hit after they booked. Show was great. And they hit a Zen nerve way back then.
Great early 90's tune, pretty much the one-hit wonder for Jesus Jones but I played the hell out of it. It still holds up.
about a great time of the beginning of world peace
One of the best pop songs of the 90s.
Contrary to the opinions expressed in many of the comments, I'm glad to hear it on RP.
Song just ended. Time to turn the volume down.... then again, here comes another awesome song. Jeez, I love RP!

Jesus Christ on a bike, this is one earache of a song. TFFPSD.
This song was bad in the 90s. Today, it's awful and outdated!

Good try at education jpfueler but, please keep in mind that this guy is from Texas. He probably thinks Jade Helm communists are hiding under his local Walmart.
It's not just the crap vocals and the over-poppy music that make this song worthless, but the video of some idiot watching TV just finishes it. Can't believe it's on RP.

I completely agree
I was just thinking about this song yesterday. Leave it to Radio Paradise...
This is definitely in the category of songs that one would judge very differently without the filter of nostalgia.

Without: Ma-a-a-a-ybe a 5
Love this tune- haven't heard it in years!
Don't know this.... But it sounds like Bryan Adams to me (at times)...

I love this song but except for this and Welcome back, Victoria (and perhaps a couple of other tracks) their albums have become unlistenable to me sadly.

I'm amazed the Obama campaign/inaugural did not co-opt this song. Would seem to fit quite well.
Doesn't knock me over like it did when it first came out, but I still like it. Thoughtful pop.

What a spooky coincidence! I'm off to see these guys on Wednesday (they're playing in London, then two more gigs supporting the Wonder Stuff)
One of the most energetic bands I've ever seen live. They only gig a couple of times a year these days, but they're still great to see.
Yay for JJ and RP!!

Every time I hear this song, which came out after some earth quaking moments in history.
I remember the images of seeing the Berlin Wall fall....
And Nelson Mandela released and becoming president....
It was an amazing thing to do, watching the world wake up from history
It gave me a bit of hope for mankind (until George Bush was re-elected)
Makes me think of Francis Fukuyama's claims in the early 90's about the "End of History," that the clash of ideas (capitalism vs. communism, democracy vs. fascism) was over, the cold war ended, the good guys had won.
And now, 17 years later, we seem to be on mired in what Benjamin Barber prophetically referred to as McWorld vs. Jihad.
So it seems we are living and dying by our history.
even after all these years...this song is still burned out for me.

Sadly Nelson was poor choice for leadership. See what S.A. is today. Terrorists, even those who "reform", tend to not lead well once in power.
Though I figured it would go more like ZimBobway than it has, most of the reprisals were better handled, but the infrastructure is falling apart due to neglect and corruption.
I remember.
I remember how much easier it was to get letters and packages to and from relatives behind the curtain (I'm an Out Of Town Czech. . among other things).
I remember how fast a German friend found my Aunt's relatives in East Germany after not being heard from after the Berlin Air Lift.
I remember the euphoria of watching them Hammer the holes in the Wall.

I can see that.
IIRC, there was a lot of talk in the media about how over the top good these guys were, how they were the future of music, etc. One DJ I used to listen to would use Jesus Jones as the yardstick to judge other new bands.
All this stuff goes to people's heads which is why I've always advocated public beatings for celebrities. How else are we going to keep them humble and stop them from annoying us by their getting media attention for being immature in public?
That said, it is a good album.

Your right, there is a Cassandra Wilson size hole in the RP playlist.
One extra point for mentioning Bob Dylan.
Always a toe tapper. Good times.
I still play this album a few times a year and enjoy every song on it.

Saying that a song is overplayed is in itself overplayed. Not that this song is worthy of continous playing, but sometimes it is nice to hear a song again after a period of not hearing it. So, maybe in a year or so (RP WILL be around in a year - positve thoughts) Bill can play it again.

I always disliked this song - because it got played so much on the radio, I guess - but I just put my headphones on during the instrumental bridge, and was blown away. Just goes to show you ... something.

I refuse to call this band a one-hit wonder (as someone else did). If all you listened to back then was hit radio, then maybe you're right. But this entire album was great. They were a one-album wonder (their follow-up album truly sucked).
Their first one (Liquidator or something...) was crap, too. But you're right. I still listen to this album once in a while.
This was a great album although, I recall growing tired of this hit I played out the rest of the tape. I got the follow up CD. Maybe I should add a few tracks from the first one to my cart @ iTunes. Album, tape, cd, mp3? My, how the times change. Look at all the formats I use to be nostalgic!
These guys make the list of top 10 worst acts of the 90s, along with the Spin Doctors, Billy Ray Cyrus, Michael Bolton, Chumbawumba, Creed, Hootie and the Blowfish.....

Wow, this tune is really taking a beating. If you just listen to it as a piece of music, without associating it with the much weaker songs from that era, or a car ad, or worrying whether liking it would make you a stooge of the MTV culture machine, it's really pretty good. A solid 7 or 7.5.
I agree. But man, that is one godawful guitar solo in the middle of it.
awwww. feel-good and forgettable.
Wow, flashback to student years, pi**ed on snakebite and black, dancing to JJ in the Union on a Thursday night, Friday morning practical be damned. Now how do I crank this powerbook upto 11 :-)
NOT a good song for the people of new orleans.
Yeah, it's a little silly and dated, but I still like. It's sad that I can remember when this was 'cutting-edge' for me.
Such is life. :)

The name of this band is BLASPHEMOUS! How dare they take the name of our lord Jones in vain? Believe me, Jones In Heaven will mightily smite them. Smite them good, my lord Jones. Smite them damn good.
Funny thing is, the band came up with the name sitting on the Costa del Sol in Spain...noticed how so many guys were named Jesus and decided to give him an Anglo last name.
Sorry to see them come and go so quickly. As someone else here pointed out, it's misleading to call them a one-hit-wonder. In many ways, they were cutting edge...ah well, I always back the losers. Excellent tune.
Down goes the Berlin Wall!!!!!!
