I would agree but maybe the revision of history is even worse. This is a great tune but I fear Jay Kay has simply swallowed the propaganda that his ancestry is shameful, it is on the contrary because he is an Englishman. Far from starting slavery 400 years ago (we didn't have slavery in England since about 1300 since William the conqueror made it illegal here and African tribes were always enslaving each other we just helped with some transportation) we are the country that emptied its own coffers to have it abolished against our own interests and only on moral grounds. It was the absence of it here and the industrial revolution that led to its abolishment and this was a practice in every country of the world, universally excepted that the victors would enslave the vanquished. We changed that, he should be proud.
@@Daveyboyz1978 Slavery wasn't practised in England but they allowed it for the longest while within its colonies. And any culture, creed, nation or ethnicity found guilty of owning slaves or have performed violent acts against their fellow humans in the name of superiority or creed should be ashamed of that particular action. You might also be thinking he is saying he is ashamed of the entirety of his lineage but seeing as how this is a song about the topic of superiority as well as some of its negative effects, he might instead be calling that the shame of his ancestry. Also, the most pivotal reason for the abolition of the slave trade was not the morality of the time but appealing to the pockets of the planters. They eventually reasoned that if the slaves were able to take care of their own expenses such as food, clothing and equipment they would make a profit. The revision of history is important it all depends upon how. It should be as unbiased as possible, as honest as possible and when we see the ills of the past we call them out for what they are.
@@drebeck2542 Not true. Because of the vaccuum of slavery in England (the one and only place it wasn't occurring) the church came to the moral position against slavery. This in turn influenced the congregation which then spurred political activity.

Having said that the fact that in the American civil war it was the non-slaver who emerged victorious rather goes to show that economically it was a flawed system. I am not saying that the transatlantic slave trade was not abhorant but it is only in the states that the idea of racial superiority existed to try and mitigate the "all men equal under god" thing... The reality is more white people have been enslaved than black people (though most died during castration and those who survived left no offspring) and Africa kept far more slaves than it sold (black people keeping black slaves) This racial narrative which applied to only 5% of slavery is unhelpful to human progress, better not to stoke historic resentment for one injustice while ignoring all others.
@@adrianomartinez6231 For once the pronoun issue seems to be important. Jamiroquai identifies as they/them rather than he. I wasn't offended but felt it was appropriate in this context to chime in.

This is one of if not the best track Jamiroquai ever produced. There isn't a thing about it that isn't perfect. The vocals, the lyrics, the keys, the bass, the brass... it's pretty much the complete piece of music!
This is my first time hearing this. I first heard this bass line sample on Tupac’s “Who Do You Believe In”..which I think is his best song ever! That song makes me so emotionally sad and makes me reminisce on those who are no longer here..
after all these years still one of my go to Jamiroquai tracks, will never forget the first time seeing at club "Infinity" on Santa Monica Blvd. (a BRASS special night)
I dont think Jamiroquai is not underestimated. they were very famous in 90s and early 2000s. MTV often played their songs very frequently on MTV non stop hits

Este tema trata sobre la esclavitud de Afros en todo el mundo "hace 400 años o mas", que los habian llevado lejos de sus tierras hacia una "Tierra prometida" (Norteamerica, el Caribe, Brazil) pero para el Hombre Blanco "La superioridad fue la clara intención de ser", un tema de Jamiroquai extremadamente profundo.

@@lucia-belen-vera "Fueron llevados lejos de su hogar, a una tierra prometida". A los nativos los invadieron y colonizaron, pero no los sacaron de América. Fueron a los africanos a los que trajeron acá como esclavos.
Definitely a great execution. The horn section and jazzy vibe makes it a winner. Incognito have not yet reached this level. The more you listen to it, Chicago is there as well. A British born band that knows the American sound
As I remember It was four hundred years or more Since you came to crucify And they were taken far away from home There were promises of paradise But if they had been told that day That they would be sold that this way To satisfy the souls of chosen men See I had to look carefully At the shame of my ancestry To redefine the storyline again.

So where has the love all gone A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale Of how I was put down where I don't belong Woman, child and man for sale For ethical slavery is just an absurdity How can you be alive when you are dead With these chains of hypocrisy The shame of my ancestry Forever stained by blood in which you tread.

No it's not. Manifest Destiny was the idiotic belief that God gave North America to white people, so they brutalised and took the land from Native Americans. It has nothing to with black people, also, black Americans are in plight because they made themselves that way. It's time you accepted this fact, stopped blaming others, and worked to better your community.
Isn't that statement cultural appropriation in action? It's definitely about First Nations not slavery. Not to diminish the suffering of African slaves at the hands of the same christian halfwits, but it isn't about that.
@@christopherbloor3901 oook😒...you obviously dont know that the true native americans are being referred to as "black people" and "african americans" today.... so-called black people are the true indigenous original natives of these americas...its time you accepted this fact, stop pushing your pale ideology on others, and work to fix the false history that keeps getting put out by your community.

No es necesario que Jamiroquai crea canciones para hacerte bailar. Algunas veces, disfrutar de un calido Té en Dias/Noches de frio escuchando Manifest Destiny te hace pensar en las acciones y errores que cometiste durante la semana que está acabando en este mismo instante. Domingo 03 de junio 2018 a las 23:54 pm, Comenzando una nueva semana para ver que cosas buenas tanto como malas me entregará la vida :D
Je suis en train de vraiment découvrir le groupe depuis que j’ai acheté le Cd de Return of the space cowboy, et honnêtement rien que cet album là me met dans un état… ❤️ j’imagine pas la qualité des autres (même si évidemment comme tout le monde j’ai déjà écouté virtual insanity Cosmic Girl et Too young to die…)
He really goes in hard at the end of this song! This entire album is a masterpiece it gets better as time pass to! Fan of Jay K from day one! Masterpiece this song is the meaning behind it is more beautiful!
5:27-5:29 I'm sure you can hear that subtle difference in chord/bass progression. Music goes semi-tone up, contrary to the rest of the whole, looped phrase. ...And that little change needs a genius to be written/invented.
This is one of my TOP favorite songs from Jamiroquai. The lyrics itself give a power message that people don't see or choose to ignore. The song begins about Christ, his crucifixion, the disciples...the promises of paradise...to satisfy the souls of chosen men. Throughout the song, he paints the picture of the shame, loss of love (Matthew 24:12), and slavery along with the hypocrisy of it....wow he went deep. Upon Christ death on the CROSS, the blue was taking out of the sky (Matthew 27:45)....and in God's sovereignty....HIS DESTINY HAS AND WILL MANIFEST IN TIME (1 Peter 1:19-21).
not trying to downplay a christian interpretation/motif but if you google how manifest destiny was justified/ applied to in terms of usa american history you can see the most obvious interpretation by jamiroquai fans (given jay k's consistent wearing of native american headdress, etc. and their other songs with lyrics and mvs referring to native american and native australian cultures and which can extend to other cultures made victims by imperialism/colonialism)
@@numetalslug I cannot totally disagree with what you said but I think he melds the two together in this song. The American Indian history and biblical scripture….Just my thoughts for this song.
@@cyman40 Given some of the comments that Jay Kay has made about religion in the past, I don't think he would be slipping in references to Bible verses. Jay Kay: I was sat in Malaysia, in Kuala Lumpur, working. And we were having dinner and a few people turned up. I don't know who they were, I didn't particularly like them. Anyway, the whole subject got on to religion. And I'm not a religious person, never have been. But I always find it fascinating, the whole concept of religion, things that there doesn't seem to be any existing proof of.
Beautifull album,remember it coming out and we would sit as musicians working it all out,me on bass really soaking it all up and learning all the lines.Fond memories of getting stoned with my old pals who have all gone theyre own ways.Respect boys i hope your all well and hope you too look back fondly.
He new back then to learn about true history as a white man like John Lennon and refused to ignore it..much love to Jamiroquai and those that truly feel the way he do
What a dumb comment. More white people have been enslaved than black hence the word from SLAVIC. Africans had been enslaving each other since since time immemorial we just had ships which allowed export. The history of the white man is we had the practice abolished at personal expense, for 50 years we patrolled the seas and set them free and we campaigned to the rest of the world who didn't want to give it up, and ideed the middle east still hasn't entirely. AS an Englishman JK should be very proud. Try learning about history rather than parroting the propaganda of a leftist media seeking to divide and conquer.
Man I would love to know how Johnny J came across this gem for 2Pac who do you believe in. My step pops was a very well traveled man and acid jazz was one of those sounds along with bosa nova that he essentially put me on to as a kid.
@@banaboyent3995 I think Tupac liked Jamiroquai. There is a list of albums he would/wanted to listen to out there on the internet. He was very diverse in his musical taste. In his songs he referenced Billie Holiday a lot, Jimi Hendrix, Phil Collins, Cameo, Prince, and a whole lot of funk but of course that's hip-hop
That instrumental part is just perfect
I love it❤

As I remember
It was four hundred years or more
Since you came to crucify
And they were taken far away from home
There were promises of paradise
But if they had been told that day
That they would be sold that this way
To satisfy the souls of chosen men
See I had to look carefully
At the shame of my ancestry
To redefine the storyline again.
If I was taken for a day
And shown another way
Now every child can learn a different thing
See I tried a million times
But I had to change my mind
Sadness was the best thing I could bring
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said
As he took away the blue above the clouds
Superiority was clearly meant to be
So destiny will manifest in time.
So where has the love all gone
A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale
Of how I was put down where I don't belong
Woman, child and man for sale
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity
How can you be alive when you are dead
With these chains of hypocrisy
The shame of my ancestry
Forever stained by blood in which you tread.
If I was taken for a day
And shown another way
Now every child can learn a different thing
See I tried a million times
But I had to change my mind
Sadness was the best thing I could bring
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said
As he took away the blue above the clouds
Superiority was clearly meant to be
So destiny will manifest itself in time.
So where has the love all gone...

Perfect song to celebrate my birthday weekend with ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
ja ouvi um milhão de vezes e sempre é legal!!!
Esa línea de bajo por Diosss 😍 Me muero! Tremendo tema.Larga vida a los viejos temas de Jamiroquai ❤👍
He new back then to learn about true history as a white man like John Lennon and refused to ignore it..much love to Jamiroquai and those that truly feel the way he do
What a dumb comment. More white people have been enslaved than black hence the word from SLAVIC. Africans had been enslaving each other since since time immemorial we just had ships which allowed export. The history of the white man is we had the practice abolished at personal expense, for 50 years we patrolled the seas and set them free and we campaigned to the rest of the world who didn't want to give it up, and ideed the middle east still hasn't entirely. AS an Englishman JK should be very proud. Try learning about history rather than parroting the propaganda of a leftist media seeking to divide and conquer.
Jay came out swinging against the Republicans last election's and especially so bc one of the jan 6th freaks looked like him ☠️
Jay Kay of Jamiroquai is half portuguese
Forever my favorite song... from my favorite album, from my favorite band
Quel album fabuleux !!!
The piano !
One of the best acid jazz songs on one of the best acid jazz albums. Stuart Zender is amazing as well as the rest of Jamiroquai.
Que CRACKKKKKKKK!!!! Todos sus temas son un deleite total!!
Absolute ear candy, jamiroquai made me an audiophile
Such a Nice music ❤
That Bass line it's a fucking drug 😍
Yes one of his best. Songs and mine❤
De mis canciones favoritas y tenia que ser de JAMIROQUAI.
I love this song, I love it 😍
Man I would love to know how Johnny J came across this gem for 2Pac who do you believe in. My step pops was a very well traveled man and acid jazz was one of those sounds along with bosa nova that he essentially put me on to as a kid.
To my understanding pac wife ask him to remake it.
@@banaboyent3995 I think Tupac liked Jamiroquai. There is a list of albums he would/wanted to listen to out there on the internet. He was very diverse in his musical taste. In his songs he referenced Billie Holiday a lot, Jimi Hendrix, Phil Collins, Cameo, Prince, and a whole lot of funk but of course that's hip-hop
One of tupac ex girlfriend gave him the idea she's a big fan of jamiroquai
