(Replying to every new Yvie topic)
The first time I heard (and saw the video) of 'Supersonic', it blew my mind. I couldn't stop watching that  ! I was like 13 years old and I didn't know ANYTHING about music. I was a nerd 
After that I bought my first ever CD, which was 'Synkronized'. The rest is known story.

I always remember when I first fell in love with "Cosmic Girl" My mum had borrowed my uncles car & unlike their car he had a cd player in his car & had left TWM in the player. Everytime we went in the car I fought for the front seat & drove my mum CRAZY by keeping playing "Cosmic Girl" again & again!!!  |

I remember watching the "Little L" video on my music channel on TV, and it made me want to play "Bust A Groove 2" for playstation. There was a character in that game named "Heat" that kind of reminded me of Jay Kay from Jamiroquai. I played that game like crazy after that |

this year, in my birthday, some friends made me a "surprise" party... and they played Space Cowboy and Cosmic Girl ten million times for me... they didn't play any new songs cos they know i don't like the new jamiroquai that much... but i really enjoyed that moment... and those are my favorite songs...

i will always remember the first time i heard jamiroquai, it was in 96, i was 14 and my oldest brother came to home with twm cd, he put in the cd player and told my other brother and my father to listen.......it was amazing! i neverd heard nothing like that, i heard virtual insanity and asked my brother what was that, he showed my the cd and i was amazed again with the artwork, then when i listened to cosmic girl i couldn't believe it....it was better than the first! that was my favorite song for long time and i listened to it million times in those next weeks.
i become a big fan and nobody else anywhere knew the band around, so everybody links jamiroquai with me (and still), in the graduation travel to england in the ferry in 99 when at the disco they put canned heat, everybody looked at me and waited for a dance...i started dancing like a crazy, doing all Jay's moves....everybody did a big round around me and everybody was like this  , when the song finished everybody came to me to say how good i danced (lot of girls came too, and that was a big step for me as i was a very shy boy)
those are my jami's big moment...but i have lot more

Special moment with 'Little L'
Hello again!
I remember my first moment with 'Little L'! I was with my uncle in the car at night and the radio was on, not very high volume, but I could hear Jay's voice singing and it wasn't one of the songs I knew! It was the new song from the new album!! The guy said 'Laitel El' (horrible english). Later I went to my house and spent the whole night waiting for the song to be played again. The funny thing is that it was a dance station and they were playing mostly the remixes of 'Little L', so during a whole week I though that the Boris Dlugosch remix was the actual song!

I actually remember Ananda Lewis, the famous U.S. MTV VJ debutting "Virtual Insanity". It was probably 3 months after it had been out in Europe, but for probably 9 out of 10 Americans that know the band, this was their introduction to Jamiroquai.

I put some remembering moments of a couple of songs:
1. Too Young to Die. I listened to this in a library, I think it was summer 1994. The first Jamiroquai experience ever. And I thought this is a black woman singing
2. Revolution 93. While in disco, a saturday night. Most of the songs played were chart-music and so on... but suddenly.. this started playing. And it was played from the beginning to the end. Some people left the floor but some grinned with me and we had a great time, of course.
3. (Don't) Give Hate a Chance. A recent memory. It was played in a disco before the album was even released. So of course... what a smile on the face I had..  (and a drunken mind  )

Hello Talkers,
I remembered a new one! Is a recent one.
The first times I heard 'Starchild' (without reading the lyrics) I thought it said "Santa wants to save the land".. I mean, it had sense...! With starchilds, supermans, why not a worldwide character like Santa?????

OK I'll sum it up because if I told the complete story you'd get bored and I'd cry more than I should so here we go: I had a very bad depression by 2002, I hardly ever eated (I had lost 10 kilos in one month and a half) and I didn't do anything but cry. That was my daily routine. My parents took me to every doctor they could, and they gave me vitamins, but they couldn't heal my depression, so they though something bad would happen to my health and, according to them, it was imminent.
But things changed on the 17th of June at 7.05 pm. That was the first time I saw Corner Of The Earth on MuchMusic, I remember as if that have been yesterday  . I remember my face after the video (there's a mirror in my parents' bedroom). My eyes were filled with tears, but it was such a beautiful sensation, I can't even describe it  . When I got back to reality (it took me a few minutes lol) I ran into the kitchen I told my mum about the video, I was so excited! During dinner I didn't stop talking about that beautiful video I had seen , where "a bloke called Jamiroquai" was dressed like an Indian. And I eat normally that dinner, and the following one, and the following one... And I didn't need vitamins any more  The depression is gone now and I feel much more better now.
Someone once said that doctors heal body wounds and sores, but music feel the soul's ones. Here you have one example of that.
