Lyrics:
Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya)
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 going to change the way we live
Cos' we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse,
See, its 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 When You Gonna Learn now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground

I remember when this song came out. I was 14 years old, and was a big Queen fan at that moment. The first time i heard When You Gonna Learn on tv, i was hooked up. Jamiroquai became a part of my life, and i could not get enough of their albums from the 90´s. Nowdays i still listen to their albums, but one thing is for sure. Emergency On Planet Earth is still today an album, that´s epic. Even if 20 years have passed, the message is still strong.

+Claudio Gutiérrez This Bassline comes from We gettin down by Weldon Irvine which was based on Herbie Hancock's Chameleon. The Chorus is from Johnny Hammond. None of these basslines belong to Zender. They are from Earth Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang, Pleasure, Patrice Rushen, Roy Ayres, Lonnie Liston Smith and others from 70's Funk.

[@egyptianminor]

Still Jamiroquai's finest moment IMHO. Being there in 1993 and hearing this come on the radio (!) for the first time was something else - what an impact this song had, especially back then - the groove, lyrics/message, chord progression, arrangement - all perfect - and still as up-to-date as ever, hasn't dated a bit, yet it take me back to the early '90s. Peace.

[@rsrocknroller]

Yeah, that was the spirit back then. Here in Brazil it was a major change of times, and this music came with its powerfull message...this phase lasted about 5 years, then the sucess came...but we still have youtube, right? ;)

[@NYCOrganix]

I think this is their MAGNUM OPUS and I've bought ALL of their albums 😏. "SYNKRONIZED" and "DYNAMITE" are probably my favorite from the collective but that had a lot to do with my natural progression since their early stuff (essentially "Travelling Without Moving") which RE-introduced the BAND to a whole new audience mainly the MTV generation and their offsprings. "King 👑 For A Day" which is by the way a song written by Kay about a parting band member and their tumultuous relationship 😂😂is without question the group's single BEST WORK;from concept , execution, video treatment , song theme, critical reception etc etc

[@robertacanossa]

The song is “when” you gonna learn? Not “are” you gonna learn. It’s not about if humanity will wake up, it’s about “when”. Stop giving up and saying that nothing will ever change. It’s not true. At some point all of us, as a collective will learn the value of love during our time on this planet. Yes, the greed and violence and torture is rampant in our world, seemingly to no end, but that doesn’t mean you have to feed it or give it life. There is an abundance of love and care and light in our world too, stop choosing to ignore it. Stop focusing on the destruction.

Classic, a track that defined the year 1993. I remember first seeing this clip on MTV - life changing experience, so different from anything that hit the airwaves and clubs back then - this is what really got me into Groove/R&B/Acid Jazz/Deep House and '60s/'70s original Funk. IMHOP this is still Jamiroquai's finest moment - and I'm sure some of us who were there and then will agree.
