Jem's interview: "It is a song about the things that 'they' say, whoever 'they' are that we listen to and we act on without questioning. [...] I had read in a New York guide, to not look people in the eye on the subway [...] I was really scared and literally would not look at anyone. Years later I was on the subway every day going to Brooklyn and I thought, 'Oh my God, it's fine!' I had completely believed this book. It made me think about all the things 'they' say."

I really like this song, it's very different and there's something I find strangely haunting about it. She's alternative and a lot better than most female solo artists. I hope she's back with a new album soon.
This brings me back to the days when I used to discover music on MTV and at Barnes and Noble. This was/is one of my favorite songs of all time. I will always prefer this music video over the "official" one, that's set in space, which feels disconnected from the human behavior which Jem is critiquing. This music video is down to Earth, asking the question, why do we live like this and why do we perpetuate living like this through teaching our children that this is how the world is? Thank you for keeping this original music video up after 15 years, I feel it better communicates the point she makes in the song than the "official" video on her channel. EDIT: After rewatching the "official" video again, it's visually all about her and her body, which downplays the important message of this song. But that seems to be the theme of the 2000's in the U.S.- all about appearances and not about substance. I have a feeling it was not entirely her decision to have the space music video be the "official" one. But I remember seeing this version on MTV once in the 2000's!
Hi-ya.....i hope your well,safe and not not melted away if you live in the S.E part of the UK......Anyway just found a tune from back in the days which is kinda like Jem's style..You may or may not know this tune...Saint Etienne....Only love can break your heart....
I looovee this song! When I first heard it, all i really liked was the interesting style, but the lyrics, when you really listen to them, carry such a meaningful and frightening message... It's really incredible and I really wish I knew of more artists like her. :)
What an incredibly profound video. As a ups driver, I relate heavily with the opening shot of the construction worker and cop arguing. As humans we are all under a fair amount of stress, especially these days. It’s so easy to become shortsighted and not think about the people around us. I hope this song by Jem continues to change peoples perspective 🎶🤟
My psychology professor played this video in class the other day to demonstrate the question of what reality actually is and who makes the rules.... 'they' apparently. :P
... I’ve been in this rabbit hole for the last 18 years... and I’ve been mind fucked and have had an insane spiritual journey to truth... and for whatever reason I have it, and from what I see, I’m one in a handful of people who actually connected the dots and hold the truth... I’ll make it as simple as possible even though it’s going to contradict everything of reality that we have been spoon fed, and I suggest you do your own research, but it’s so complex it’s impossible to even be able to explain all of it... but I’ll give you the simple answer the Illuminati do exist, but they are not the Illuminati(necessarily) they are the FREE MASONS... this is key to understand because they have so many psyop programs to confuse and prevent those who question the system from ever being able to identify them, so they can be known as the Illuminati, but once you start to go into that world you’ll get bombarded with bits of truth, some horrific stories/images about what they do and how they operate(some are lies just to make the mind traumatized/fearful) and then you’ll eventually be at a dead end with no solid idea on how you just got mind fucked, but if you focus on the FREE MASONS, you’ll have a similar experience like that of learning about Illuminati, BUT the FREE MASONS are not a secret society, there is an unlimited amount of information, books, knowledge that is confusing to navigate, but eventually can lead you to knowledge ... the occultist who control the FREE MASONS and the rest of the world, they use 3rd party representatives, like a lawyer speaking on behalf of his client in a court trial, or an agent working/speaking on behalf of a superior authority, or like a puppet and it’s master pulling the strings of a lifeless doll, animating it’s body while the master remains hidden from perception(another name for the Satan/the devil is the puppet master) and this is how they hide in plain sight, because they have other influential people/institutions/corporations operate under a completely different name/identity while covertly in control behind the scenes.... so who is owns not just the USA and the FEDERAL RESERVE banking institutions, but all of planet earth are the SAUDI ARABIAN ROYAL FAMILY... now I’m way to lazy to get into all of the various evidence and explaining the whole situation on what’s happening now and why and what the real agenda is... but as least it’s a starting point for you to research! ... look into knowing more about the free masons, ancient Egypt, Christianity, Islamic culture, and the Saudi Arabian Royal family
I think this is one of my favorite songs. I've never heard *anything* like it before, and it's so addicting. The Bach sample also goes really well too. I'm glad I have access to this song lol, because it seems like many have had trouble finding it.
I never knew the name of this song. I actually found it while looking at Aerosmith songs, googled "It's Amazing" (looking for their 'Amazing' song) and found Jem. I listened to that and thought, WOW, that sounds really familiar and somewhat remembered the lyrics to this. I can't believe it's only from 2005' feels a lot longer
Increíble, pasaron los años y recuerdo tal cual el video. Tanto me costó encontrar el video porque lo vi de muy chiquita. Gracias por sus comentarios hoy aprendí algo, luego de 14 AÑOS!
i keep coming back.... i have loved this song since it came out... before i was even a teenager.... it was the first song i tried to google the lyrics of... i cant believe i remember still how i was sitting in that room, so excited that i found it. i must have listened to it a dozen times that night. Q_Q
ALMOST 20 YEARS. I'll be 27 when this will be 20(!!!!!!!!!!! It will always remain relevant but old at the same time. I can't think of 2034, when it will be 30). LORD, MY CHILDHOOD VANISHED LIKE NOTHING. OH MY HEART ACHES... I MISS VH1, I MISS THIS MUSIC & THAT ERA :(
There was a brief stint were radio stations played this, & that was once or twice back in 04'!!! I haven't heard this until now, and it's been 7 YEARS!!!!
I pretty much have a grasp on what Jem is trying to say on her songs such as "They", "24", "Save Me", and "Just A Ride". It's crystal clear if you analyze the lyrics, conforming to "They" (I'm pretty sure most people here knows the "They" she sings about) perceiving reality, being distracted from what's really going on, allowing yourself to thrive in an ignorant blissful matrix, allowing yourself to be distracted for so long that you cannot react to events that might consume you.
Christ...I only knew the part from second 10-14 and searched for it 3 years. Never heard it anywhere since. Try to find a song that way, it's painstakingly hard. I mean really hard. Here is how it went the last 2 minutes: 1. Tried midomi with this part. Results were Good Riddance by GreenDay and so on... 2. Google search for "song in space..." google compelteted it with "...jam" 3. Brainwave! It was something with marmelade or traffic lights! Or... 4. Accidently misspelling the name Jem in google searching for "Jem song" 5. Finding this! 3 years later in just 2 minutes of constant brilliancy excess! 6. And I knew it was something with space. This video proves it. Not. But there is another version! :D
This was my riongtone for years, now it is Snoop Dog with Get a light. But I still pick up my phone if I hear this song on the radio :), I only searched for Gem, and then thougt "o it was with a J.".
Heard this song for the 1st time in a mall over the speakers in the store in '04 or '05. Had no intentions of buying any cd's other than dub or techno....long story short, I left the store with this cd
I remember hearing this on a podcast my dads friend made for me in 2005. This was when I was really little, like 2005 and 2006 but I can remember it years later. This brings me to tears as this was my childhood song. Im 13 now. #NeverForgetJemThey
Before she hits the 1st hook of "They", she also says "we"; "I'm sorry 'we' do this", admitting her place in the illusion/delusion. Was she once a boy? In "I Always Knew", it seems as though there came a time when there were some things she didn't wanna play along with, and was threatened that it's over for her. She says she'll fight to stay in music, but then says at the end: "I've sold you a million, baby..." She concedes that staying in is not up to her, by her words, "GIVEN the chance, baby, I'll sell you a billion more". Looks like a compromise was in order. The question is: Who Is Baby? Because, THAT'S who she wrote the song to.
She is apologizing to the children for our complacency and our continued support for the corrupt system in which we are living. The children are being poisoned by big pharmas toxic chemicals and are being molested by people in high places whilst the majority continue to turn a blind eye.
"Who made up all the rules We follow them like fools Believe them to be true Don't care to think them through And I'm sorry So sorry I'm sorry It's like this I'm sorry So sorry I'm sorry We do this And it's ironic too Cause what we tend to do Is act on what they say And then it is that way And I'm sorry So sorry I'm sorry It's like this I'm sorry So sorry I'm sorry We do this And who are they And where are they And how can they possibly know all this And who are they And where are they And how can they possibly know all this Do you see what I see Why do we Live like this Is it because it's true That ignorance is bliss And who are they And where are they And how can they know all this I'm sorry So sorry I'm sorry It's like this Do you see what I see Why do we Live like this Is it because it's true That ignorance is bliss And who are they And where are they And how can they know all this I'm sorry So sorry I'm sorry We do this"
Thank you. I agree with you. The ones who are "awaken" notice the symbols while the "sleepers" think we're crazy. People think that these songs are just coincidences or "just music" but there's more to the lyrics if people actually pay attention to what they're listening to.
+EpiKitten Of course it is strange, listen to the lyrics closely along with watching the images..... THINK ABOUT IT look up a few posts, there is someone who said the exact same thing you did, this is NOT a coincidence.!@#@!
Ansein and this was like back in 05. Although they started this trend ( making an alternative music video for the US audience) in the 90s...I think there should just be one video for all. :)
Seventh Heaven It would be nice, if there were just one video to relate to, but then you have to try to keep it interesting, while respecting the social limits of different cultures. Nobody makes videos like they used to back in the 70's and 80's.
some TV show had this song years ago... a long time ago.. downloaded it back then as mp3 and still have it and listening to it on winamp.. ps. winamp for the win. all my friends use spotify, I'm too old school for that
Also s real masterpiece! And where is this beauty comin' from? Again, it' s from Britannia, where the best music and sounds of the past decades is coming from!!
The whole album is excellent, if you can find it. My best girl friend and I used to listen it at work all the time, one of only a few cd's we would agree on.
Jem took the vocal sample from the 1961 album "Jazz Sebastian Bach" from The Swindle Singers, available on Spotify! It's a great album in which pieces from Bach are performed by vocals and a jazz combo.
Back in 2012 when I first heard this track at a shopping mall there was no Shazam and I literally had to pay close attention to what words she was singing to be able to look it up online later. Jem on in 2023!
18 years later this song remains legendary

Actually 300 years later. J. S. Bach, 1722

Looks like a compromise was in order.
The question is: Who Is Baby? Because, THAT'S who she wrote the song to.

She is apologizing to the children for our complacency and our continued support for the corrupt system in which we are living. The children are being poisoned by big pharmas toxic chemicals and are being molested by people in high places whilst the majority continue to turn a blind eye.
I LOVE JEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Who made up all the rules
We follow them like fools
Believe them to be true
Don't care to think them through
And I'm sorry
So sorry
I'm sorry
It's like this
I'm sorry
So sorry
I'm sorry
We do this
And it's ironic too
Cause what we tend to do
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way
And I'm sorry
So sorry
I'm sorry
It's like this
I'm sorry
So sorry
I'm sorry
We do this
And who are they
And where are they
And how can they possibly know all this
And who are they
And where are they
And how can they possibly know all this
Do you see what I see
Why do we
Live like this
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss
And who are they
And where are they
And how can they know all this
I'm sorry
So sorry
I'm sorry
It's like this
Do you see what I see
Why do we
Live like this
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss
And who are they
And where are they
And how can they know all this
I'm sorry
So sorry
I'm sorry
We do this"
The lyrics are most relevant now than before
👍 👍 👍 🙏 🙏 🙏
These lyrics slap so damn hard, especially in today's time.
Jem is a genius lady, i'm glad she understands, questions and thinks about these IMPORTANT things.
Thank you. I agree with you. The ones who are "awaken" notice the symbols while the "sleepers" think we're crazy. People think that these songs are just coincidences or "just music" but there's more to the lyrics if people actually pay attention to what they're listening to.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR OVER A DECADE HOLY FUCK
still listening in 2015
Yep
+Giss Loconte 2016
+Angel I. me too
Listening in 2017.
I've been looking for this song forever!
I just love JEM. I listen to this album in my car....it's the best music to listen to while driving.
I used to listen to this when I was younger.. I found it very strange..
+EpiKitten Of course it is strange, listen to the lyrics closely along with watching the images..... THINK ABOUT IT
look up a few posts, there is someone who said the exact same thing you did, this is NOT a coincidence.!@#@!
This video is better than the other one..
This is the original video for the song.
Ansein no this is the US version. there is an original UK/Europe video where she's floating in some sort of space machine.
Seventh Heaven
ok. That makes sense on different countries having different MVs.
Ansein and this was like back in 05. Although they started this trend ( making an alternative music video for the US audience) in the 90s...I think there should just be one video for all. :)
Seventh Heaven
It would be nice, if there were just one video to relate to, but then you have to try to keep it interesting, while respecting the social limits of different cultures. Nobody makes videos like they used to back in the 70's and 80's.
almost forgot this existed
some TV show had this song years ago... a long time ago.. downloaded it back then as mp3 and still have it and listening to it on winamp.. ps. winamp for the win. all my friends use spotify, I'm too old school for that

Bach Prelude in F Minor Vocal brought me here
GA season 14 episode 7
The whole album is excellent, if you can find it. My best girl friend and I used to listen it at work all the time, one of only a few cd's we would agree on.
Johann Sebastian Bach, prelude 12 F minor (II vol.)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bwv 881
Jem took the vocal sample from the 1961 album "Jazz Sebastian Bach" from The Swindle Singers, available on Spotify! It's a great album in which pieces from Bach are performed by vocals and a jazz combo.
It made 10 years!! :)
Y es genial
They know all these because they had internet and smart phones before we did.
Back in 2012 when I first heard this track at a shopping mall there was no Shazam and I literally had to pay close attention to what words she was singing to be able to look it up online later. Jem on in 2023!
i used to listen to this song on VH1 when it came out
