I’m a big big fan of Jamiroquai since many many years (probably 30years). And for my wedding, this year, half the man was used for the wedding witnesses entry. I had the chance to see you several times in concert. So many thanks Jay Kay and team for these amazing moment since 30years
@@Kafelnya Yo soy un ferviente seguidor de este especial personaje desde inicios de los 90s, siempre mostrando un fascinante estilo muy particular, quien logró curar muchas heridas de su pasado, creando un tema musical de cada dificil episodio que atravesará. Y los cuales se convirtieron en un boomm desde los 80s y 90s, cuando recien solo era un simple soñador con muchas ganas de hacer realidad todos sus sueños. Ya que cada letra que compuso, relataba una gran inspiracion y apertura para expresar lo que siempre llevaba guardado dentro de si.
@@Kafelnya it's a beautiful love song! How can you not see that????? It is PERFECT for a wedding. The first time I heard this song I was thinking, that if I ever got married? This is the first dance song ALL THE WAY!
He is a fantastic musician, singer and songwriter furthermore his band colleagues are great musicians too who characterised the special jamiroquai sound. I m a fan since 25 years. I love jamiroquai!❤
"Half The Man" Yesterday I was Half the man I used to be Oh, maybe that's because You're the other helf of me Like the spring in bloom The summer of our love is soon Every bird will sing The melody of our love tune. Send down from above Unconditionally love Likened to a flower Stronger love grows by the hour Stormy weather days Make us go our separate ways Where our love was so at ease Now you got me down on my knees. Yesterday I was Brighter than the morning sun Now my love is lost And lonely days have just begun A solitary chair For a silent love affair A king lost his throne And now he sits alone.
Dezmo59 He is half the man he used to be the other half is the female which he didn’t transition into. Cosmic girl and his other songs are about being tempted to by the spirit of Isis. Which is why he now sits alone now. Ever wondered why he never won a nomination? Now you know.

This is one of my favourite songs ever, was in the day, will allways be, but I had forgotten the video...OMG it is stunning, everything about it, whose idea was to nail jay to the floor and put a camara just in his face? Brilliant, JK is usually praised for his moves in the videos but being able to do this... Another level, mesmerizing. What a pleasant rediscovery. Congrats evryone involved.
Groovy, cool, silky smooth......Swinging.with soul and.... perfect artistry....Thank you JK and the band....lasting more then 32 years....and you will last more... .'cause people will be more and more in need to swim in this Light yet Deep Beauty of - Sounds, Vibes, Frequences and Energy.....
I once fancied a girl who thought Jay Kay was a sex god and I couldn't see the attraction at all. Now, twenty years later, I am prepared to concede that he was and probably still is a very handsome man.
His singing and timing and rhythm are so good. I think he could have been a jazz musician. As a band they were just so good. That first album - they were all so young! Stillness in time is my fav.
2024 I’ve been looking for this song I knew Jamiroquai sung it but could not think of the songs name… After endless searches I’ve found you!!! My absolute favorite song from him!!! We need you in 2024… Music sucks!!!
@@jeffreyhighstreet6944Voice range always changes after 45...50 especially....and he is 54-5 now ! He is perfectly intitled to loose voice range and ...gain some weight.
I just love him and his music. fan since the early 90s. saw him perform in Chicago at metros. he is AWESOME in concert. oh did I mention I love him and his music. lol the chi smiles. glitter sparkles
1994 ... High and with my bestieboo ... We played this over and over and over again. No video ... Just a 90s DJ setup in a half a part of a half frat house. It was Dope AF then ... More so now. Longevity is created from a Masterpiece. This is such a thing.
Such a HEAVILY slept on tune, on a SEVERELY slept on album...its a shame really. Just one of the many gems on 'Return Of The Space Cowboy'. Have had this album on repeat for well over 20 years. One of my favorite albums, of any genre....
Heavily slept on band of you ask me. Dozens of killer tracks and most people consider them a one-hit wonder even though their one "hit" is probably their 20th best song.
@@nicholasmoore7659 I think they get their respect in Europe. American radio and the US market in general never gave them a fair shake. Doesn't matter because the ppl in the know, KNOW just how dope their music is.
This music is for the few that have a good taste and a good ear. And for the music lovers, because it has been made because the artist loves to make music.
Anya Semenova if u like this song u will like Ben Harper : waiting on a Angel i want that song and this song for my funeral i always said that I'm sure u will agree from the vibe i get from ur post hope u give it a listen see what u think I'm aware everyone as there own taste
I love this song because it's the kind that seems to just really flow out of the artist's mind, poetry and love and rhythm. Reminds me a little of Prince's "Forever in my life" (just the vibe)

"The return of the space cowboy" is a great album and this song sometimes gets neglected, but every time I listen to it I love it even more. If I'm not mistaken, Toby Smith's relationship inspired it. Could someone bring some light about the story of this song? Regards.
Not raw...very sofisticated sound...although sincere ..and so authentic and unique inspite of tge music eclectism and so many influences...a very unique sound ....and posutive vibe so typical for JK
1:35-1:45 that´is the reason why i like his music and this band on particular,jay kay always had his father present,on fact he looked like luis when he was most young,my mother listen the music of luis saraiva she have some of her works on vinyl,this guy got an amazing genetics by part of their parents,talented gift of have this amazing composer called jay kay with us.
hesher77 DAMON Man i dont know exactly when you can find his álbums,my mother just have 2 albums of him but for that time i'm not was alive so i dont know when she buyed this albums, sorry.
Wow.. some men choose to be doctors and lawyers and other men choose life of crime.. but none of these men brings that special kind of message to us as those that choose to sing to us.. those that feels our hearts not with pain but with love and kindness..
We forget this is a band, not just a lead singer. Having said that. We love J.
No wonder since he's usually the only one appearing in the music videos
Like Sade 😮😊
i really like the meows in the background of the music
Me too!!!
Omg me too
HAHAHA me too
Meow meow meeeeooow
Same lmao
What an insanely talented man... the voice, the dance moves, the vision, the style. Music that has aged very well.
Unfortunately JK is a fucked up wreck now. Makes me sad beyond belief.
@@Oli1974why cos he likes his drink and smokes tabs 😂
@@Oli1974 Why he is a wreck now ?
@@simonidastankovic2627 Alcohol, for example. Just compare the JK of 1993 to the one of today
The quality of his lyrics deserves huge props. You can hear every word. Been a favorite for 20 years now...
That high note in the beginning of the song is just from another world!

A masterpiece never gets outdated
"Half The Man"
Yesterday I was
Half the man I used to be
Oh, maybe that's because
You're the other helf of me
Like the spring in bloom
The summer of our love is soon
Every bird will sing
The melody of our love tune.
Send down from above
Unconditionally love
Likened to a flower
Stronger love grows by the hour
Stormy weather days
Make us go our separate ways
Where our love was so at ease
Now you got me down on my knees.
Yesterday I was
Brighter than the morning sun
Now my love is lost
And lonely days have just begun
A solitary chair
For a silent love affair
A king lost his throne
And now he sits alone.
I king *has lost his throne

This is not a band... it's an orchestra. Man they have synchronicity! Luv em
My first introduction to Jamiroquai. I love this F’ing song so much. Was in a 411 skate video.

I like watching him SING sing. Shows you how much effort/emotion it actually takes to record a tune like this!
Check out the live version from Wolverhampton 1994... It's only an audio upload of the concert, but my god that band was awesome live back in day
Bravo to whomever decided that THIS is how the video should be shot. #Bravo #OMG #Jaykay #Briliant

One issue is that Jay cannot play any instrument.

0:12 - That's how a kitten can make your song a hit. 😺
Never gets old. Just perfect.
he is ..just takes my breath away :)
Always been my favorite Jam jam!
timeless piece. always feels like it came out recently despite being made 2 decades ago
In the grand cosmic scheme, it came out recently.
Yeah exactly, it sounds like it could have been a song by Maroon 5 or something (although I’m glad it’s not)
Because it came out two decades ago, not despite of it.
Exactly, for years to come.
It strangely also sounds like it could've easily been substantially older (And ahead of it's time)
he is lovely
This song maked me miss times I wasn't even born yet
Hahahahaha
I feel the same, nostalgic for a time i never experienced…
One of my Jamiro Top 5
This video has amazing production value
....and the artistic value as well...
This type of music/art will last forever.

Good music,everywhere, everytime, especially in those time of trouble. Thanks a Lot Jay Kay
Love this song and the video with Jay.

always my favourite Jamiroquai song this one
Hello it's me ........listening to a love tune❤
Lovely song from a lovely soul ..Love you Jay and the way you make people remind themselves of their feelings..and their lost happiness!
Still cheers me up 💗 happy belated birthday Jay, hope 2023 treats you well! Sincerely yours 💃🏽(a tiny dancer😏)
Jay I know u didn't just bite ur lip @1:47.......First Michael now Jay Kay.. how much can a woman endure.Lord have mercy.
Jay Kay, what ever happens, we will love you! what an awesome stile of music that always reaches my soul
Oh my gosh it's been years. I forgot completely about this song....I used to adore it! 🙂🙂🙂✌️✌️
I come back every now and then just to reminisce.
He is beautiful.
Haven't listened to this song in years and years.. still know the lyrics. Suich a beautiful song.
I first first heard this song in a 411 skate video mag in like 1995. I’ve loved jamiroquai ever since. It was a Mike Santarosa profile or something.
2pac loved the Space Cowboy LP he sampled Manifest Destiny on Who Do U Believe In
Yup!
Jamiroquais messages in his songs are so smart and the way he conveys them are awesome I think the band itself is better than Tupac
So beautiful.
Omg, wonderful, what to say, perfection shows itself in that song
totally ok with you.
You know that's no lip sync. Total soul, total funk - he just loves it. Best UK voice talent ever.....?
Fredie mercury!?
+ BigJoe_Buster I'm only 99.6% sure what you said was a joke, but I'm laughing my ass off.
LMFAO come on haha
2:17 : mouth says "i wanna tell YA", we hear "i wanna tell YOU".
I do agree with the rest of you comment, though. :)
@@sergiorcs82 yeah I think most of his music videos are lip synced but he can do it live so its not like it matters
So talented then and now xx thanks for the melody and the lyrics
Still ❤
he’s so good this makes me cry
Wow.. some men choose to be doctors and lawyers and other men choose life of crime.. but none of these men brings that special kind of message to us as those that choose to sing to us.. those that feels our hearts not with pain but with love and kindness..
he's so handsome
