    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."

    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!

      ... 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 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!

      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.

    "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

    I'm sorry
    So sorry

    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.

      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.
