Stumbled onto the video here and it just grabbed me:
The lyrics make sense, don’t they:
“Don’t wanna wait til tomorrow,
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems,
Built up, and stand in our way ,ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, dont dream about yesterday, hey
Cmon turn, turn this thing around
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon,its everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm,
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction,
Slipped a little off your pace, oh,
The more things you get, the more you want,
Just trade in one for the other,
Workin so hard, to make it easier, whoa,
Got to turn, cmon turn this thing around
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon, its everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Its enlightened me, right nowWhat are you waitin for
Oh, yeah, right now
(solo)
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon, its everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, and do it right,
Right now
Right now, oh, right now
Its whats happening?
Right here and now
Right now
Its right now
Oh,
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around”

Gooch,
It took a good 5 years of not hearing it for me to be able to enjoy it again.
I’ve haven’t been able to enjoy that song ever since a company I used to work for played it over and over again at one of the corporate rah-rah events they forced us to endure.
Hi BF,
Happy New Year to you as well.
Rain,
Jesus Jones- sort of a one hit wonder.
Mark,
Thanks.
Crizette,
Quite true.
FM,
Same for you and yours.
Mist1,
No excuses. 😉
Amishav,
Absolutely.
Shifra,
Me too.
That was always one of my favorite videos.
I remember when that video came out and thought it was pretty cool. Seeing it again makes me think, “Its still pretty cool!”
Quit trying to motivate me. I’m still recovering from last night.
Happy new year! May robust health,great happiness and much prosperity take up residence in your home and stay the course…
Love the song and YEAH…the lyrics make sense. A song where everybody can relate to it.
Nice “Year’s Start” sentiment – Thanks, Jack.
Glad you enjoyed it. Shame Jesus Jones went Poof! so quickly. This was not only perfectly of its time, it’s a great reminder All the time!
I always though that video was very clever.Very appropriate for today, too.
Happy New Year, Jack.
