Lyrics:
What we're living in?
Lemme tell ya
Yeah, it's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see, I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's gonna change the way we live
'Cause we can always take, but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse, see
Whoa, it's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these
Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground
And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother can choose the color
Of her child, that's not nature's way
Well, that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do, but pray
I think it's time to find a new religion
Whoa, it's so insane
To synthesize another strain
There's something in these futures
That we have to be told
Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, wow
Now there is no sound
If we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad
As a man-made man
Oh, yeah, I know, yeah (take it to the dance floor)
I know I can't go on
Of this virtual insanity we're living in
Has got to change, yeah
Things will never be the same
And I can't go on
Where we're living in
Oh, oh, virtual insanity
Oh, this world
He's got to change
'Cause I just
I just can't keep going on in this virtual, virtual insanity
That we're living in, that we're living in
And that virtual insanity is what is, yeah
Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, oh
Futures made of, now, virtual insanity
Now we all, we seem to be governed by a love
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
And now there is no sound, for we all live underground
Yes, we do, oh
now this life that we live in
(Virtual insanity) it's all going wrong
Out of the window (living in)
Do you know there is nothing worse than (virtual insanity)
a man-made man
(Virtual insanity) there's nothing worse than
(Living in) a foolish man
(Virtual insanity) hey!
Virtual insanity is what we're living in, yeah
Well... It's alright - เพลง

Jonathan Glazer, director of this music video, is now an Oscar winner.

Nice
Yep! The director of Zone Of Interest plus Sexy Beast (YES. YES. YES. YES...)
This should of been the win
Oscar it's trash now
Hes basically saying we will all become numb through our own technology . Good song
Crazy to think how accurate this song is today
Spend as much time with your loved ones and dont worry what you cant change and avoid your phone unless it rings
Numb? This shit is a curse!
@@cameronh5029Naw, this would just make you look more guilty. I do what I do, you all do your bullshit.
@@FingersMcNasty i believe we can change this, but it's about the billions being more comprehensible about all this stuff, something which a lot of people thinks to be impossible, but i have my hopes on, even if these hopes are far-fetched or outright stupid
Fun Fact: The illusion of the floor moving was not created by the actual floor moving itself. The walls themselves are all being moved around, and the camera is mounted to the wall. Also all in one take. Pretty incredible.
Whoa, really smart and pretty trippy if you think about it
Actually it was the floor that's was moving
@capn jack gallows nope. They even talked about it in an interview. Cost too much money to move the floor and a random stage hand suggested they move the walls instead so they built the room on wheels. And pushed it around him.
Clearly not one take. Any time the camera moved down there was a cut.
It was 4 different takes
Fun fact: It's the walls that moves,they are mounted on wheels. Floor and couches are standing still. What a masterpiece.
The furniture probably also have wheels on em since they move when pushed against the wall
Was that big ass bugs mounted on wheels as well?
@@merciless972 it's edited in bruh
You can see the wobble if you look up at the ceiling
At one point, when the blood was pouring out of the walls, the crew that was pushing the walls around left bloody footprints that had to be edited out.
The director of this video, Jonathan Glazer, has just won an Academy Award, and he was nominated for Best Director. His talent shines through from here
Well, he deserved the award.. It was a fine piece of work.
Long over due … and thank u for sharing 🎉🎉🎉
@@herintuion88 and people want to hate because he speaks his mind on his political view like you have the fuckin givin right to speak whatever he wants... and people are trying to discredit a GREAT. Glazer you the man bro. fuck the haters, they soft.
timeless music
Lol "Glazer",must be a funny guy
The connections! I was just thinking about how the direction is on point and goes well with the lyrics, which are honestly just ahead of their time and show a certain consciousness.
And now things really are getting worse, and Glazer is pointing it out to the world at great cost to himself. God bless him, and God help us all.
Three best Jonathan Glazer works
- The Zone of Interest
- his Oscar speech
- this music video
bro has watched 1 jonathan glazer movie
@@criticalhippo4294 correction: I have watched two Glazer feature-length films and most of the music videos
And "Sexy Beast"

-under the skin
Fun fact: the dude's name isn't Jamiroquai. It's Jamiroquai's monster
Wdym?
@@vuilnisgod4388 It's because Jamiroquai is a band, but a lot of people think that Jamiroquai is the name of the singer, like how a lot of people think that Frankenstein’s monster is named Frankenstein, I think.
you must be J/K
ok
That explains the blood at the end
For anyone wondering how this all actually worked:
The original plan was to have the floor move, but the producer had the math done, cost of the floor movement system was around 288,000 dollars.
So! they came up with the idea that ended up being used to save cost:
The whole room is actually on wheels as the crew behind the video push it around to give the illusion of a moving floor.
The furniture also is bolted to the wall until it is time for it to move away from the wall, in which case a crew member quickly unbolts it.
Since the camera is attached to a wall you can see small shakes whenever the room starts moving.
Bugs and bird were added in post, as well as stage direction marks being edited out.
Song was also post editing, he doesn't start speaking until around the 4th word in the song.
One final thing: The illusion of the room moving is given away if you have a sharp enough eye to notice during the narrow hallway part, as the others leave the set the walls begin to shake a little.
Really interesting how they managed to do all this!
Wow! Where did you get all this valuable info. (I need a video to watch instead of studying algebra)
@titicad8938 Hey it should be on Jamiroquai's youtube channel actually, I could be wrong though lol. God bless!!
The part everyone leaves out in the explanation is that the camera is connected to the moving walls, so it move with them.
日本でこの曲が流行った頃、MDディスクが最先端でした。
あるメーカーのMDディスクを買うと、ジャミロクワイのこのふかふかした帽子が当たるというキャンペーンがあり、とても欲しかったのを今でも思い出します。
The song was created because of an crazy experience the band had in Sendai in the middle of winter. They were confused why the streets were empty, and then discovered everyone was underground.
I agree
As a Canadian kid who grew up admiring Japanese tech, i wanted one of those Sony MD Players so badly. I'd go to Sears (an old department store) and just look at them on display. they were like $300. In retrospect im glad my mother never got me one, being that MD format didnt get so far.
Increíble 🎉

This video was made for the future, and the song. It plays as well in 2024 as it did when it was new in 1996, and that smooth funk sound is timeless. It wasn't over or underdone, it doesn't date itself, it was made to feel fresh forever.

I know how this video was made, and remember it debuting on MTV, and it still just blows me away every time I see it. So cool, and simple.
The best thing about listening to this song today for me is that it auto-played and I’m re-reading Brave New World right now… talk about synchronicity! It is indeed a crazy world we’re living in. More relevant than ever.
This is the only song that I want to add to my playlist but can't due to the sheer fact that the song can't be enjoyed to its full potential without the music video
Apple Music let’s you install the video and same as the YT music shit I’m pretty sure
yea but it doesnt matter cuz when im listening to my playlists im not using my phone and usually working or smth
so i can only hear the music not see it, its either in my pocket or on the floor/on a shelf
Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer is another good example. The music video was made by the same animation studio responsible for Wallace and Gromit.
I feel that, but I still put it on the playlist.
I love that there's a few seconds of silence while he stands dancing and it's only after the slide starts and your brain goes "wait a second" that the music starts

Came here because of that lol
My brain didn’t go “wait a second” I just knew there was music after the music started since I’m not retarded.
@@BruceWayne-fj9bm I think you are because you obviously didnt understand the comment
My friends and I saw Jamiroquai way back in summer of '97 at an outdoor venue in Boston. We smoked so much that I can't believe that I remember as much as I do. We went to so many concerts that summer it was amazing being 21 back then
idk how but this is one of those music videos that genuinely makes you wanna see the whole thing
2:41 I am crying right now. This is the best part!
Me trying to catch a dragonfly by the wings:
Me attempting to sneak towards the toddler next to his mother and snatch him without his mother noticing:
me sneaking up behind the distracted officer to grab their service weapon:
"the stand user could be anyone" "there's no diference between a stand user and a normal person"
The stand user:
me reaching for the strap in the glove box when i get pulled over
It’s 3 am. I’ve woken up with a scratchy throat and my phone at 1% and this starts playing. Bed marks on my face. This was nice

Hard to believe this song was composed in 96, it is waaay ahead of its time and it’s aged like fine wine
The 90s already had the Internet which was capable of most things we can do today, it simply wasn't mainstream yet so the realization of our new technological era hadn't set in yet with the majority of the population, but the few who knew, knew.
You make it sound like ‘96 was 100 years ago. lol Believe it or not, we had the internet and many other various forms of technology back then, too. 😉
@@hharts83 Yeah… I’m aware lmao. What we didn’t have (in large scale) was people identifying as dogs, cats and other ridiculous things that they simply are not, self driving cars, dating apps that are designed to feel like games, and AI that can simulate a celebrity’s voice almost perfectly. It’s the never ending advancement of technology that keeps this song relevant and modern sounding.

Not sure if it's the set that's shaking or rather the camera vibrating as it moves with it.
@@nicktallfox5266 the walls are moving.
It's honestly really impressive, I wouldn't have guessed that the way they accomplished this was by moving the entire set around him, sure the camera shake and that part at 1:02 where the entire set shakes do give the illusion away now that I know how it was done, but apon first watching it I didn't notice any of it

"Our future is made of virtual insanity"
Made in a time before the internet dominated everything, mans was onto something
I mean it wasn’t 100 years ago, computers, robots, phones, game consoles, and even Ai existed then. Ai has existed since before the 60’s, so a song about the world being dominated by technology is not very advanced for the time. It’s a great song though
I was just listening to this and reading the lyrics, Wow!
@@revilno i feel like it's definitely a LOT more accelerated since this song has been made
@@puzzlepuddles6712 yes, but I’m just saying that he wasn’t on to something. The idea of technology taking over or at least consuming our lives has been around for decades. Even when machines were being made, people freaked out because they lost their knitting and quilting jobs to archaic machinery. It’s a good song, but it’s not a prediction, it was just a good assumption.
@@revilno idk how it's possible to be so wrong in one comment.
computers existed in the 40s, yes, however they were the size of an entire room, and could only do what would now be considered extremely basic calculations. robots did not exist, animatronics did. ai did not exist whatsoever and i don't even know how or where you pulled that one out of your ass from. games consolses didn't exist before the 60s, the first video game ever made was a one-off project created IN the 60s. and phones actually did exist 100 years ago lol.
i agree with your sentiment, people have always been wary of new technology, but wtf are you even talking about?
Still gives me the same super chill relaxed vibes when I heard this and still have the same energy, vibes here in 2024.
Nearly 30 years later and still is one of the greatest music videos ever made.

Yes, this song was many years ahead of its time 😊 and there is a lot more to the words/visual and intention of songs than most people ever realize 😉 sometimes the people who write them are governed to write for a much higher force that they are unaware of. The difference is merely knowing if the force and intent behind all music is of good origin. I've never liked crows and it is appropriate they are in this video along with the rest of the content "forget your virtual reality" etc etc. Very good artist 🎨 👍 😊
@@Tracey-zr5do agreed
Agreed, but the jogging scene in 2001: a Space Odyssey was 1968ish and used a “hamster wheel” for a similar effect. (Song still amazing though)
I think any piece of media whose theme is "things be different" are always going to seem ahead of their time.
@@iavv334 In psychology of media (psychology in general), that is called anchoring, priming and conditioning, or more broadly - engineering of consent.
The quote 'well it's alright now' while the blood is rushing is a great metaphor on how future problems are ignored in the present times.
now the man who directed this is an oscar winner!!! congrats jonathan glazer for being such an iconic director and an antizionist badass
Jamiroquai is actually a very big influence on the modern dance pop and funk genres. The producer Calvin Harris, who has collaborated with an unbelievable amount of current pop artists like Dua Lipa, cited Jamiroquai as the reason he started making music.
Not to mention: Carter Pewterschmidt
@@TheMuppetKid carter pewterschmidt inspired jamiroquai
they are also a big influence on the hip hop community too, artists such as tyle the creator, anderson paak , sza or even dojo cat cited them as reference :))))
Im literally learning today that its a group not just one guy!!😂😂😂😂
Calvin Harris is genuinely so insanely good its kinda nuts he just gets forgotten about now as someone who just makes the melodies for pop artists. His "Ready for The Weekend" album from 2009 is still easily in my top 3 Electronic House albums of all time. His singing alone on it is absolutely sensational
When Jamiroquai is playing, your life gets 10x better, fact.
FAX !! I LOVE JAMIROQUAI !!
Literally listening to this banger to celebrate that my life got better today.
True
0 x 100 is still 0 unfortunately
That's a real fact
サビが好きすぎる❤
Oh my GOD - his dancing is so amazing! This is one of the best music videos of all time.
I love the final message of the song/video being "Well, it's alright now." as blood is slowly leaking into the room. Really good metaphor for how we ignore future problems because they don't affect us in the present moment.
Nah that’s clearly motor oil from jet engine the furniture used obviously
XD
Don’t even remember the blood or roaches before…. Strange
@@MediaBear Shh... It doesn't matter anymore now...

I just for the first time realized this is a padded room for the insanity part. I guess I was too busy watching the floor and the rearranging furniture LOL
Me: *opens bag of chips
The entire class: 2:41
Omg
Thats every public school.
Underrated
Thats the only nonjojo coment that i like
Underrated
The director!! The same of Zone of interest.
Astonishing! Just watched a vid on how they made it and I still think the floor's moving. Fantastic dancing and perfect timing. 👏
This was SO fresh when it came out, still is and will always be a vibe i need in my life
Truth Indeed
Man that guy scared me when he started approaching slowly without moving.

frr
I’m fifteen years old. I’m a Japanese .

@@camrynr.4706 great song, tragic what happened to the artist
yes
Love from Holland
It's 2024 and EVERYTHING he sings about is so true for today....😊
❤You Man,still listening to ya!
From 1989 to 2024 this song still plays in my head, happy to actually hear it as an adult.
This band is what Maroon 5 could've sounded like if they kept their artistic integrity
Like a different pop music act, yes
@@MegaZeta I mean JK kinda sounds like Adam Levine so
hehe "moron" 5
I was just thinking in the car yesterday this sounds like an older maroon 5 song
Adam Lavene turned out to be an absolute WEIRDO... having affairs on his wife and wanting to name the babies the names of the girls he had affairs with. Sick shit
2:41 is what you're looking for
How did
@@drawgeta8647 I know?

Every single time I need a dose of serious funk this song shows up!!! Jamiroquai is amazing 🤩
何年経っても名曲は名曲のまま
色褪せず次の世代にも引き継がれていくね。
Yea
This song was decades before its time. Jamiroquai was a genius.
Jamiroquai is the name of the band btw :)
Was? Is you mean!
no lies told! light years ahead of his time
Did you mean ahead of his time?

Its crazy how the lyrics still hold up to things going on today
I just realized how hard this song’s Lyrics hit in the modern era.
Even knowing how the video was done my brain won't let me not see the floor moving. And his choreography is SO on point
One of my all time favorite music videos.😊
2:40 broke me, so emotional
This is one of the most iconic music videos ever. Saw this back when I could barely even remember anything yet this stuck as a young child haha
Yea the stuff moving in its own and the random GIANT bugs are really cool
Nah Jamiroquai is just so good that their music can eternally plant itself into your head
That and Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice .
This was one of my favourite videos of the 90s and I just saw it was directed by the guy wo made The Sone Of Interest, one of the most harrowing films I’ve ever seen. Funny how it works.
Will never forget this song. Idk how i heard it back in the day, but i was shocked by the lyrics
Honestly I hate the fact that family guy and TikTok is why I’m learning about this song, it’s a masterpiece and I wish I knew about it before hand
Try this earlier track from 1993 th-cam.com/video/eo7iwlMFPrM/w-d-xo.html
oh please this song was well popular before this
That is one the (few) good things about TikTok - catchy songs go viral, and you see them all over the internet and get to expand your music taste beyond what you knew existed!
@@emmahealy4863 Jamiroquai are a whole vibe. Huge in the 90’s and still performing albeit with new musicians. Superb live act too. Early years they were known for their jazzy funky sound. Very talented musicians and the bass player was a beast. Check out Mr Moon live th-cam.com/video/wBJyUou4-xI/w-d-xo.html
