German rock band JÄST are back with a bang: their brand new single “I Can See Clearly Now” will be released on January 17, 2025. The song is an energetic testament to the band's commitment to bringing rock back to the radio - true to their slogan: “Bring Rock Back To Radio”.
“I Can See Clearly Now” combines the characteristic sound of JÄST's own musical style, the ‘80s AOR Reboot’, with a modern, heavier twist. The track is not only the band's fastest and heaviest song to date, but also an emotionally charged work that deals with the constant conflict between closeness and distance in a relationship.
The single was produced by Axel “Ironfinger” Ritt and recorded, mixed and mastered at Meadow Studios. The cover artwork was once again created by Jessica Conte, the band's multi-talented front woman.
“This song is a wild ride - faster and harder than anything we've ever done before,” says Axel Ritt, describing the new single.
JÄST is ready to kick off 2025 with a thunderbolt, and “I Can See Clearly Now” is just the beginning. Rock fans can look forward to another milestone that proves that real rock still has a place on the radio today.

Lyrics:
Strophe:
You play with distance just to demonstrate we‘re moving in the wrong way
(oh no, oh no!)
You want engagement - I‘m too high up in the sky to feel the ground
But there are moments in my life, I think about you only (too bad, it‘s too bad!)
My heart is crying: you’re the best I’ve ever found
PreChorus:
Once strong and sure, my way,
I missed the signs, astray
Dreams of tomorrow bring no hint of sorrow
With every tear I cried for our last goodbye
Regret's a guide line, heading for a good time
Chorus:
(I can see clearly now)
but heaven's on fire
(I can see clearly now)
and hope is in sight
With every step I take,
I own my path slowly
I can see clearly now,
without any fright
Strophe 2:
My head is plainly running wild - thinking we should be together (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Now I am trapped inside your silence, you’re the echo in the wall
should I just come up to your house - or should I send a letter? (I don’t know, I don’t know)
I wanna show you I am here and want it all
PreChorus:
Still you can’t see, I care,
I‘m on my way, I swear
As fast as starlight future‘s getting so bright
With every fear I faced, I know there‘s love in space
A brand new timeline‘s serving for a good time
Chorus:
(I can see clearly now)
but heaven's on fire
(I can see clearly now)
But hope is in sight
With every step I take,
I own my path slowly
I can see clearly now,
without any fright
(I can see clearly now)
Oh, my biggest desire
(I can see clearly now)
I want you by my side
With every step I take
I own my path slowly
I can see clearly now
without any fright
I can see clearly now
But heaven’s on fire
I can see clearly now…
(I can see clearly now)
my biggest desire
(I can see clearly now)
I want you by my side
With every step I take
I own my path slowly
I can see clearly now
without any fright
