That song has always represented black spirituality. P.M. Dawn was in his spiritual element and connected to the source when he created that record. Such a classic.
For the record this wasn't a normal occurrence back then & was not readily accepted in the Hip-Hop Community back then. It was No.1 for a while & even beat out Such names as Micheal Bolton, Micheal Jackson, Boys II Men, & Prince on the Top Billboard Charts. The 1st fusion of it's kind & they sounded like no one else inthe Music game at that time.
@@radamezprince3505 I finally looked it up, it was KRS One. He questioned him as a teacher KRS One & BDP stormed a PM Dawn concert forcing them off stage & performing some of his hits.
PM dawn was considered whack by many but their sound is so crispy,poetically smooth and hypnotic. Definitely a lovely hip hop💯💯💯.I can tell you felt the vibe yes indeed!!!...😃😆😃
here let me tell you what it actually means ... "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" by P.M. Dawn is a song that explores themes of nostalgia, longing, and the power of memories. The lyrics follow a reflective and introspective narrative as the singer reminisces about past relationships and the emotions associated with them. In the first verse, the singer describes a hazy and dream-like scene in which they struggle to recall details of a previous encounter. They express a sense of confusion and wonder if there is a deeper meaning behind their memories or if they will ever be able to stop thinking about them. The mention of a past-time intimate friend and their nonchalant attitude towards her suggests an emotional detachment or a tendency to relegate past relationships to the back of their mind. The chorus, "Baby you send me, baby you send me, Set adrift on memory bliss of you," conveys the idea that this person from the past holds a strong influence over the singer's thoughts and emotions. The phrase "set adrift on memory bliss" suggests that the memories associated with this person have a powerful and captivating effect, immersing the singer in a state of longing and nostalgia. In the second verse, the lyrics introduce more conflicting emotions and experiences. There is a reference to a "careless whisper" from a "careless man," hinting at a betrayal or disappointment. The mention of "marionette strings" highlights the idea of being controlled or manipulated by external forces. The singer mentions someone named Christina Applegate, perhaps as a symbol of desire or admiration, but ultimately acknowledges that even this person will end up being just another memory. Overall, "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" speaks to the bittersweet nature of memories and the emotional weight they can hold. Through its dreamy and reflective tone, the song evokes a sense of longing for the past while recognizing the transience and inevitability of memories' fade.
i was around...21....a DJ in the Netherlands in a club called Rendez Vous....we played this many times...and good times we had... I miss those guys... hope you are all safe my friends
When you ask ..." who is that ?".... that white gentleman is one of the writers and original performers of the song's main beat "True" by Spandau Ballet, check out that song, you would love it, ciao'. God bless.
PM DAWN was so underrated during a time when people were chasing gangster rap and violence.. You should check out Arrested Development's song "Tennessee"
Underrated 😂😂😂😂 It was a world wide hit and caterpullted them to stardom 1 year later they led the soundtrack to boomerang one of Eddie Murphy biggest films and then even better songs " I'd die without you" and " patient eyes" Underrated 😂😂
So sad that the track is no longer available on any streaming services. I guess they lost the copyright to this. Also, RIP Prince B. Your lyric were beautiful in all your songs.
I've loved this song since it came out when I was a teenager. However, I got a different interpretation from it than him running into his ex. The part about him seeing the ring on her finger and some other things he says tells me this is a married woman he's been seeing and has mixed feelings about. They had some other great songs also, paper doll and I'd die without you to name a couple. RIP prince B
I did react to it, but unfortunately they blocked it right when the movie came out. Idk why but I’m trying to see if I can appeal it without getting a strike. Sorry about that.
@@adoseofjoy1 i notice that some reactors blur out elvis and then react don't know if that would work, i am not sure how that all works any way but they mention they do that so they don't get blocked??? not sure
There will never be another era like the 90s
I was there and I approve this message.
Me too rock on
This song was way aheaad of its time. It really is a CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The guy you asked about is the original singer of the songs sample. The group was Spandau Ballet and the song is called “True.” Great song too!
Yep and part is borrows from Sam Cooke’s Send me
Watched this video umpteen times over years, oddly never realised the lead singer from Spandau Ballet made an appearance. Glad they paid him homage.
The beat comes from "Ashley's Roachclip" by the Soul Searchers (1974)
Very little. Most of it is Spandau Ballet & a Paul Simon song. Stop.
My only all time favorite group. Rip Prince B. U are sorely missed.
Homie at the end is the lead singer for Spandue Ballet
I use to love this song in the 90’s , PM dawn was way ahead of their time, they would’ve been super popular today
That song has always represented black spirituality. P.M. Dawn was in his spiritual element and connected to the source when he created that record. Such a classic.
You do realise the original song waa written by a white group. Why do some people have too bring race into everything.
✨🙌✨
Yup. I'm from Africa (though I'm Indian race), and I feel this beat deep in my soul, reminds me of the powerful transient rhythms of Africa.
LOL!!! A beat made by white British guys, the only girl he names is a white actress and it's about wanting women... that's black spirituality.
So African blackness is two white guys from England?
❤ HE WAS INLOVE OR STILL INLOVE WITH A GORGEOUS ACTRESS... CHRISTIANA APPLEGATE ✔️💯💋🥰✨🎯🎬🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎼 80S AND OUR BELOVED 90s MUSIC 🎶🎵🎼
He wrote this song about her, wow never heard him say her nsme in the lyrics before. sad about her health now
The white dude is Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet from their hit song, True, which this song was sampled from.

Nope. Prince got on the wrong side of some rappers. Surprisingly it only hit 1 for a week.
@@fletchbundy oh yeah, he rubbed some other emcess the wrong way as well?
@@radamezprince3505 I'm trying to remember who he beef'd with. It was some stuff he had no business in. Super weird.
@@fletchbundy oh wow, I didn’t know Prince B was out here wilding’ like that … May he rest
@@radamezprince3505 I finally looked it up, it was KRS One. He questioned him as a teacher KRS One & BDP stormed a PM Dawn concert forcing them off stage & performing some of his hits.

would love to go back to the 90's and stay there ☺

Talk about irony. A song about nostalgia, this somg brings us nostolgia
Someone named Christina Applegate😂😂😂 ....not just a someone
each time I hear this song, literally takes me back in my mid-teen days, I was 14-15 when this song came out.
Late 80s early 90s. We had the greatest hip-hop ever.
Nice sample of the song “True” by Spandau Ballet with a cameo of the singer at the end of the video (The guy that you said “Who’s that?”.)
The original song is fire🔥...but PM Dawn took it to a whole new LEVEL 😎
Oh man this used to be my favorite song when it first came out! Reminds me of 7th grade dances... 💜
I bought this on cassette when it came out. This album is fantastic..
one of my all time favorite songs 🧡

Woah how haven't u heard this song 😂 man I must've had a great childhood because I remember these classic 90s songs and I was born in 91
Are you serious if it ain’t happened in the last 5 years people not going back. 😂
PM DAWN was so underrated during a time when people were chasing gangster rap and violence..
You should check out Arrested Development's song "Tennessee"
Suena Duro Cruel y Nostalgia _: Me enviaste a la deriva de los Recuerdos, Por Tu Felicidad... 😪😰
That beat was probably influenced by 'Paid n Full' by Eric B & Rakim. Other artists borrowed that sound.
Paid in Full was sampled too
Excellent reaction
love your personality keep it up
?The Bliss Album?" is amazing. I need to dig out that CD...
A dose of gorgeousness 😊.
That damned song is CRAZY underrated outside the East Coast Underground Hip Hop scene!!! 💯
Underrated 😂😂😂😂
It was a world wide hit and caterpullted them to stardom 1 year later they led the soundtrack to boomerang one of Eddie Murphy biggest films and then even better songs " I'd die without you" and " patient eyes"
Underrated 😂😂

I did react to it, but unfortunately they blocked it right when the movie came out. Idk why but I’m trying to see if I can appeal it without getting a strike. Sorry about that.
