Watching the Cold War series on Netflix brought up a very powerful memory. The summer of 1991 I was living in London and hanging out at the Camden Palace (Thursday nights were “Guitar Rock Night” - Lots of Blur and R.E.M.) There had been increasing numbers of young people fleeing eastern Europe and discovering London and the club. The DJ played “Right Here, Right Now” by Jesus Jones. All those kid flooded the dance floor, with images of the Berlin Wall coming down on the screens. There were so many people on the dance floor, there was no room on the dance floor. We just jumped up and down and hugged and laughed and wept. The Cold War was over. “Watching the world wake up from history.”

Ah. When the wall came down, the iron curtain drew back, and it felt like we really were 'waking up from history'. Such a hopeful time. How did we make such a dog's dinner of it all?

[@econogate]

BY letting our leaders sabotage it with quick get rich schemes in Eastern Europe that drove them away from us again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Ongoing awakening. We weren't done with the work before us; we were just really optimistic at the time. There was a lot going on that many of us were not aware of. Cell phones and the Internet have done a lot to make us aware of the problems that were with us all along and that many of us were able to ignore.

I graduated from high school that year. I was so optimistic. Communism fell, apartheid was on the way out, Iraq was ousted from Kuwait ( I tied a yellow ribbon to my locker) and the world seemed like it was entering an era of peace and openness. If only I could have bottled that feeling.

[@deepblueinthedark9856]

One of only two famous songs which greeted the fall of the Soviet Empire. A nightmarish empire which suppressed all speech, artistic expression and life choices, and only two Western bands made kick ass songs about it. For that reason alone I will always have respect for Jesus Jones and the Scorpions.

How can you not love this profound tune?

[@jonathangolden9299]

ALREADY……..!!!!! This song was played at all the Rave parties I went to in the 90s. The '90s gave birth to so many artists. This decade, (Generation X), embraced and flourished many creative genres. Generation X also bred great cultural movements like Grunge, Britpop, and Techno. The birth of grunge, as a genre, bred bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Stone Temple Pilots. Jesus Jones brings back a lot of Nostalgic, Inspiring feelings.

[@jonathangolden9299]

You’re right, late 80s.

dude you are so wrong... this era only lasted for about 2 years 1990-91... then the decade totally changed to another style, and cool stuff like this was quickly (and unfortunately) cast aside.

I was so, and when I say so, I want to stress the obsessed with this band in the early 90’s. I thought Mike Edwards was the hottest man walking. He might as well be Jason Mamoa. I am 43 now. I listened to them in circa 1991-1993. Not to shabby for a young girl in elementary school. My sisters bought their tour vhs. I wish I still had it. I thought I was so cool. The young adults and teenagers born after 1997, they have no idea, how amazing and wonderful growing up in those decades were. I had a blast. I hate technology, except for when it’s convenient. 😂

Today is one day it really feels like the world is "waking up from history", for good or ill. Came to remember, this is a classic from my childhood and so the phrase has always been there. Thanks for the memory, over a lifetime, every one has great value. Time always moves on.
