Lyrics below:
Ain't enough to say that I think of you
Words can never do the things that I need them to
Tell me when I'll get more than a dream of you?
Cos a dream is just a dream and I don't wanna sleep tonight
Do anything to make you stay, do anything to start the day again
If I had everything my way we'd travel back and forth and back again.
If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay
In the moonlight, this is our time in the spotlight
If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay
In the moonlight, this is our time in the spotlight
It's like you never even left
I need a moment, just a moment
Blow me a kiss I'll catch your breath
Give me a moment
So devoted
If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay
In the moonlight, this is our time in the spotlight
If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay
In the moonlight, this is our time in the spotlight
Can't keep the sun from rising
Can't keep the heart from beating
Can't stop you from believing
Can't keep the sun from rising
Can't keep the air we're breathing
Can't stop your heart from leaving
If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay
In the moonlight, this is our time in the spotlight
If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay
In the moonlight, this is our time in the spotlight
If a dream is just a dream
And a dream is just a kiss
Then tell me what it means
Tell me what this is
And if a touch is just a touch
Then a touch just ain't enough
Tell me what it means
Tell me you're in love
Tell me when I'll get more than a dream of you
Tell me when I'll get more than a dream of you - Hudba
The song is what crazy expensive perfume would sound like
On a Christmas commercial
Totally
WELL??..Sort of...More like a 2020 Star Wars light Sabre delivery, with an expensive bottle of Vintage Champagne bought at an Auction at Christies long, long ago, in better times....., Popped by Diana Rigg as the lead, in
The Avenger's..
(Emma Peel).. would remove the cork , resounding in a terrific lightening fast, skyward, shot.....With a BANG so loud you would LOL with sheer pleasure...with only one perfectly executed swift and accurate speed from a very sharp object....(Perfume was so yesterday)... The sound of a very expensive 'cork' would be more fitting!! *wink* 23.9.2020. I heard this song for the first time yesterday...I had to savor it again, this morning........
Some times, you just desire more...
Black Orchid by Tom Ford.
Hah it's been in the Chanel 2021 spring collection show😁
Can’t believe this song wasn’t nominated for the Grammy Awards, it’s by far the best pop record of the year !
Grammys are the american version of a mafia... Let them sell their trophies, Jessie has the ARTISTRY no stupid academy can award.
grammys is basiacally white gringos with money giving trophies to white gringos with money, just look how many poc has won a grammy, or who are not from U.S.
@@matusantander7042 it does not have anything to do with color, as a matter of fact recent yearz more poc than ever has won grammy, they give awards to whoever serves their agenda that year, you can clearly see they're ignoring rock and indie music for past couple of years and making rnb hiphop mainstream, it's not cause they want more poc to win, thats just how they do business, i can name my top 5 records for past couple of years and none of em got even a nomination
Rina sawayama didn't get nominated as well
@@ruhmankhalid6675 exactly what i was gonna say..
EXQUISITE... Literally, the world was not prepared for one of the most sophisticated contemporary songs and artists ever.
I can't even agree more
Completely agree. She's phenomenal.
Pfffffft. First, what's the "literally" part for? And second, NO. The world? Nah.
total... es eterna.. y con el tiempo hasta lagrimas nos sacará...
@@TheVeek192 alright you disagree, we get it 🙄 calm down love
This song should have been a gargantuan hit. It's a f*cking masterpiece.
Riiiiiiiiiiiight????
Future Nostalgia on the street, What’s Your Pleasure? in the sheets....
Baby, are you ready for this Cold War?
Snowpiercer would have been a bit different if they found this at the front of the train...
totally
@@angeljackson1172 Chris Evans would have spared them
1989 had to walk so the "Nostalgia", "Pleasure" and "After Hours" could run
Can you imagine the engineers in the control room listening to the final mix of this for the first time?
Massive grins surely, and high-fives.
It's slick and timeless and beautiful to listen to.
Hey man it’s sound engineers, they just smoked a cigarette and went to bed
@@stanmusic424 Tbh they probably hated it by the time they achieved that mix
Jack Dean, true story😂
With the exception of the guy who found out a way to put in an owl sound in the chorus. That guy must be laughing his way out. 😅
It is a song with a kind of melody that has been heard many times since the 80s
Jessie Ware didn´t lost the grammys, the grammys lost her
Grammys have always been a joke, just like the Oscars and most other award shows
it's absolutely shocking how a record this immaculately produced and flawlessly engineered and performed didn't get a SINGLE nomination. Fucking tragic
Such a shame. This album was the best reviewed of the year, yet that dumb ass Taylor Swift always gets nominated for shit! Crime.
@@Davey7358 there’s no need to tear other women down to make your point clear! Taylor’s album is just as amazing and nominee deserving as Jessie’s! Sadly, the grammys are known for ignoring artists until the have a huge hit (like lizzo) and hype, then they nominate this artists just for the clout and the rating
@@datfili3726 Taylor is the defition of mediocrity
two years later and this is a classic. it feels like it vibrates at a higher frequency than most pop songs i know, it’s truly a masterpiece
IT NEVER GETS OLDDDDD
Honestly one of the most underrated artists out there. This QUEEN is serving bop after bop after bop!!!
Robin Kinnear Spotify added this to a few playlists (that’s how I ended up here), so maybe this one will get a bit more visibility.
Absolutely love her music, voice and this new song!!! Loving the video too with her dancing!!
Makes me think of lisa standsfield=Great pop-soul
Amazing 🔥🔥 subscribing to you
Bop bop bop bop to the top xx
Serving us disco on the orient express
PERIOD!!!!
It was Blue train in Belgrade actually 😅
all aboard! “Your a disco queen Harry” “I’m a what”
More like Sade ❤️
Yes please
Thank you for this melon
melon forever
ever.
Melon 4ever
Why has this woman not had the recognition she so deserves, huge talent and creativity !!
Because she sings dressed, instead of using underwear on stage like all the others 😢
@ okay but I actually like that !!!
I love future nostalgia... but Jessie really REALLY hit the mark with this album.
This wasn’t intended to put Dua down, because I love Dua and FN. But both albums sought out to recreate the 70s-80s funk/disco sound and I think Jessie perfected it.
Periodt
Same. Future Nostalgia is fantastic but What's Your Pleasure is simply perfect for me.
this album is a more mature Future Nostalgia that isn't concerned about getting playlisted on spotify or spun on repeat at clothing stores
Future Nostalgia sounds whithout a personality, I think F N sound forced to "look like" retro music
both are great, FN is the younger sister of this record, and more of a night time
This woman is in business for 8 years and I am still puzzled how this talent never got recognition it deserves
I concur
It? She's a woman lol
@@FieryFlamingFajitas this talent = it
@@magdalenastaszalek7278 ah ok. I interpreted it as he was referring to her as 'this talent' and then called her 'it' lol. Good old English language
She got it my friend! It's not necessary to be mainstream, so you can get attention. Most of the people today don't have a taste! they just consume! And the people offering the "food" are the same as them... So... I'ts a circle that never ends! But the people who can evaluate this music and the way it's presented are here, watching... inspired -loving, moving...dreaming!
This is my cousin and she has been singing literally since she was born. And she is also one of the most down to earth, chilled, fun, nicest girls you have ever met, before and after becoming a star.
well tell your cousin i cant wait until we collab :)
@@lleafos 🍾🍾🍾👋💗
Please tell her she is amazing!
@@lvlup.living 🎉😎🙌
If that's the case, tell her she's got this old lady of 61 back into music at last after being so disillusioned with what's been churned out. Bless her and her family x
Everyone who came here from Ajay should also check out the rest of Jessie's album because it's equally as incredible as this song, as well as Roisin Machine for even more sensual disco heaven
Adore You and Ohh La La are complete masterpieces
Yessssss Roisin Murphy, Kylie Minogue, Annie, and Jessie Ware are the 4 disco royalties of 2020
Yes! Roisin Machine is such a fantastic album.
exactly!! hear them out
i've been saying this! like could y'all just imagine a roisin and jessie collab? i would die and go to gay heaven.
I just love her zero-energy energy there's something ethereal about it
Yes gurl give us nothing!
She just knows how to exude sensuality in a mystifying way
A true chanteuse. Very Sade, Peggy Lee, and many others who delivered the goods smoothy...
It sounds HIV to me
She is a narcisst
I love that this disco/funk sound is coming back.
I hope so
AMEN TO THAT!!
dua lipa’s record is another take on disco music. probably one of the bests this year too
@@johnearldelacruz8498
Not really. I prefer this one. Clean production.
Justin I'Onn new Roisin Murphy, forreal? Hot damn, that’s the news I needed to hear during this horrible year. Disco gets a bad rap from some old-heads, that say it’s a tacky genre. It’s pop-adjacent, & pop has its fair share of tacky tracks. That doesn’t change the fact that there are so, so many excellent songs that fall under that blanket, & this is like...mature, future-disco, & not even remotely tacky. In fact, those vocal harmonies & string embellishments sound like a very well-educated musician came up with them. I’ve been sleeping on this artist.
*WINNER*
Album of The Year 2020
TheNeedleDrop
🥇🥇🥇
Who cares what some musty wyte dude gotta say 🤦♂️
@@johannesgutenburg6425 ^^^
wtf no
@@johannesgutenburg6425 nah, he introduced me to alot of good artist including jessie ware. Props to him
Production on this whole album is impossibly tight
Sade, 2000s disco revival, snowpiercer, masterclass voguing, shirtless British guy. Yeah, Jessie Ware knows what we want
Keep calm & take...
could you point me to albums by Sade that are similar to this? i’d very much appreciate it
@@Artur-jx7zd Is not that I agree %100 but I think they feel a kind of Stronger Than Pride álbum. Could be PARADISE , TURN MY BACK ON YOU, KEEP LOOKING. Is not a disco oriented album but has a urban sound (1998) and Sade's voice is unique but I can feel similar vibe from JW .
Soyuncometa Atemocnuyos thank you! i meant to be similar vibe wise too so this is great
I would love her to perform a Bond song.
Mikołaj Solik tea!
I though that said 'Birdie Song' which would have been epic :)
Running should have been a Bond song
Absolutely! She would SLAY a Bond song!!!
Sweet Jesus yes
This entire project as a whole is incredible. Miss Jessie Ware looks incredible, everybody looks dressed up to the nines, the concept of this whole groovy fashion train is just absolutely doing it for me today, and everybody looks FABULOUS as they dance. I'm obsessed with all of it: the music video, the people, this amazing song, her vocals, everything. Hats off to Jessie Ware, this is amazing
I'm just as stoned as you are
@@lesslindias2566 LMAO ok yes i was stoned when i wrote this comment, but i'm completely sober now and she's STILL my queen
i'm still obsessed with this music video haha :')
@@justiniantbh I totally agree. I was going to say the same but I'm so glad I didn't have to because others caught the drift.
This is how Art sounds, pure essence
you know the album is legit when you can't even get past Track One cause you're repeating so many times
I think we need to stop saying she's an 'underrated artist'. She isn't, I've been a fan since the beginning (and I know there's a lot of us!) Jessie is in her own field, owning the game and killing it. She's been giving us life! And this song is everything...
Well considering the fact that we live in the digital era and "artists" get even billions of views Jessie is underrated.. :)
AGREED! not sure what "they" want to rate or how to rate Jessie. I've been listening for years. Trust, she ain't going hungry anytime soon.
Just because you were a fan doesn't mean she got the recognition she deserved until this album. Shhhhh
I remember the 'Devotion' days, she cause a lot of buzz for a debut album. It was a great album, afterall. She really hit it out of the park with this new album.
Stop lying, her previous album was a disaster and that's why she almost quit her music career.
This song is incredible, sophisticated, and alluring. Not only does Jessie deliver entrancing vocals that keep you hooked throughout the slow burning track, but it shows that everyone involved in crafting the track were incredibly knowledgeable about the genres of disco, nudisco, and house that they were incorporating. Also, the sound engineers could not have done a finer job with their handling of Jessie Ware’s outstanding vocals.
This is one of the only songs I find myself hardly ever singing along with, only because I don’t want to distract from my ears hearing Jessie’s vocals
such a beautiful critique
I have to absolutely 💯 fully concur with you. The whole team should be applauded. I had made a similar comment on another video just discovering or recalling her now after the brain-washing Scamdemic. She is a marvel and an understated, super talented artist. From the Genre of Summer and all the disco/pop greats but then transcends with other sultry, almost hypnotic tracks. The thing is I searched her out for local shows in the NY area and irritatingly I had just missed her perform last month Oct 22 in Brooklyn, NY. Always a day late and a dollar short with securing a timely ticket. Oh well. Enjoy. She's da 💣 ! BOOM!
Totally agree ❤
MOST EXPENSIVE AND EMOTIONAL INTRO TO A SONG/ALBUM EVER
I definitely like this. This is elegant, romantic, a bit nostalgic and catchy.
Wisely picked words Raphael. Exactly as you said.
Sounds a bit 80s .Not a bad thing . Great song .. love it
the slick pony is back and i am living for this tune. seriously, no song made by this woman ever disappoints. stanning forever.
caitlin stanning indeed
She serves the kids all day. Love her!
Well said!!!!
this song is so perfect, i can't explain the feelings i feel whenever i listen to it
Ikr..
I feel the same way
Found out about this masterpiece after Ajay best song of the year list, I'm so embarrassed:)))
It's ok! Your here now and you've blessed your ears.
I’ve been seeing it for months on suggestions and people talking about it on Twitter. Can’t believe it took me months to get to this!!!
I have just found out 😁
Sameee
Me too!!!!
Wow! Based on her latest singles, and now Spotlight, is it safe to say that we’re finally getting a disco/dance album from Jessie? I’m here for this! 🕺🏻
I hope so. It'd explain why "Overtime" didn't make the tracklist.
I'm a slut for disco and I can't wait to see this happen!
Jessie Ware, Roisin Murphy and La Roux. Their recent videos have been very disappointing. They don't have the right dance vibe!
I WISH
Vincent Ruvo you’re clearly in the minority.
George Michael is dancing to this song in heaven
Honorable👏😭👏
You mean the King of Pop dancing on this.
If heavan was real he would for sure be there!
Very "Fastlove" feeling.
This song is fashion 🤩
Not even 3 million views yet? SMH. This is a top song of 2020.
This has to be a contender for one of the best pop recordings ever .
This video belongs in a Vogue spread.
Look the recent Chanel defile ❤️❤️❤️ this song its there 😘
No lie I heard this on a local radio station recently for the first time. Totally blown away. Utterly, utterly hooked.
Damnit! This is the fourth video I clicked on of hers, and I'm ABSOLUTELY loving her sound. WHY I HAVEN'T HEARD OF HER BEFORE TODAY?!!
WOW 😍👍🏾
The best song I've heard in such a long time!!
Best song I've ever heard!
This song is a masterpiece and should be a big hit. Jessie is so underrated. Pure talent.
It’s unreal - this album plays like a greatest hits compilation. She totally crushed it!
This woman and her songs are so gentle and sophisticated...hard to find this kind of artist today with those two things and a beauty....
It sounds so nostalgic yet so modern at the same time. True to Jessie's style! Welcome back mama!
Coudn't agree more.
Katherina you have put that very well!!
To hear the sounds of disco revitalized so brilliantly! The strings are so, so beautiful, the drums are snappy & groovy, the modern synthesizer bass line snapping & popping, the extra percussion embellishments, the beautiful backing vocals...ugh I love it so much!
yesss! indeed!
Yeah, you can hear all that you described from 4:55 to the end, I swear I keep repeating the final part over and over again , i´ts so funky, chic, sassy, glamorous, hypnotic, uggggh I love it
This is house music.
House is at its core, stripped down and looped disco. The bassline, synth driven and not modulating for bars is typical house, and the accent percussion is sparse and much more simple that in a disco record. There is no orchestra or tonal percussion, the chorus is almost a Todd Edwards/Mark Kinchen style chop job, and melodically it is circular which is not a feature of disco. Check out 90's house, or even Tensnake. I love it nonetheless.
Holy shit where has this song been hiding all year?
Here's my original opionion: best album of 2020
Same
Totally original and not informed by some bald man
I couldn’t love this track anymore I’m 68 and it so reminds me of my disco nights I could listen to this on a loop and never get tired of it -- wonderful Jessie love you xx
Instant hit. Glad that people are still keeping disco alive.
The music video for "Spotlight" was filmed in Belgrade, Serbia aboard the Blue Train, the private transport of former Yugoslavian leader Josip Broz Tito. It was directed by Jovan Todorovic.
i was wondering how and why does she have music from my region at the end of the mv, thank you for this info!
This song rises above so many other tracks of the 'dance' genre. The build from the start, with that beautiful bassline is just exquisite. Jessie is truly a modern-day female disco icon.
this was recorded in Blue train in Belgrade, that was used by ex yugoslavian leader Tito for meetings, traveling and for his funeral.
p.s. you should come and visit it, when you are passing by Belgrade, it's only 2.5 eur for a tour
Yeah looks really nice :))
@@Komentariram Well, it was a train made just for communist dictator, so for sure it is nice. But Ok, if I think twice, the plane for American President or vehicles of other "rulers" who completely forgot that they are payed by the people are also nice, for them only, of course.
🙄🙄 nisam znala sve ovo wow
This is the album of the summer, hell THE YEAR.
this song gives me chills all over my body, funk and disco moves my soul, this song is such a masterpiece
Deserves a Grammy
Most underrated Singer!!!
She's definitely underrated and underappreciated as a vocalist and an artist. Real ones have known she's a superstar in every sense of this word.
She's feeding us gays in times of need, a truly commendable effort.
She is feeding off gays you meant
@@narcabusevictimgermany9687 Nope, sorry not sorry, we're living for this absolutely epic banger of an album.
I'll happily join you all in dance - I love everything about this music
Aidan Bason-Mitchell speak clearly!!! What do you mean?
@Ali Joon What? Y'all are not making any sense. How is this exploitative? Who is this "advertising" to? It's literally just people being themselves and dancing and having a good time.
The fact that this was not nominated for a Grammy highlights how the Grammys ignore music that doesn’t breakthrough in the states. This vocal performance and how the production layers it is stunning.
I was only recently introduced to Jessie Ware's music. Where has she been all my life?
The last time I heard a song this GOOD was Refelektor by Arcade Fire. It's only taken seven years but Jessie was the one to finally deliver.
I agree.
Oh shit yeah, I’d somehow forgotten about that album (& frankly, that group, somehow...used to be a favorite of mine!) until I read this...thanks for the reminder :)
I will check them out, thank you for the recommendation (even tho indirectly )
Hahaha omg I actually had the same thought! That's too funny! 😂
Omg now i figured out what this sounded like. THANKS
I just heard this in the Chanel Spring/Summer 2021 show. I was hooked immediately and had to look her up. Amazing vibe.
same here! this is pure class.
Welcome and enjoy. The entire album is amazing!
Same! Chanel brought me here!
Listen to the whole album! You won’t be disappointed!
@@mengyuxie649 listen to the whole album “What’s your pleasure?” It’s amazing :)
Absolutely magical, sophisticated and refined pop. The best pop song I heard in 2021. Perfect!
Better late than never!! This is Eternal.
The spring vibe brought me here 🤗
I’m sorry, I’m absolutely floored by this. How do you open an album with this track, my god.
More than a hit for me... Who cares the awards? This song already wins keeping places in our minds... AWSOME Jessie.
this is sooo chic... absolutely fabulous
Jessie never disappoints. ❤️
Jessie definitely delivered! Can’t wait for the album!!
Brilliant voice,classy lady, emotional lyrics, great bass
Stylised to the nines!! And not in a cheap way. She deserves more recognition!!! Can’t help dancing sensually whenever Jessie drops bangers like this.. we need more stuff like this.
The fact that this masterpiece came to the world in the middle of a pandemy is really sad. I wish she was able to promote it in the right way... this song deserves way more attention.
Jessie Ware the new Queen of Disco.
At last
One word: MASTERPIECE!
Why do I feel like the world is sleeping on this phenomenal singer and this perfect album and these visually exquisite videos? This album will always be on repeat!
Jessie Ware x Yugoslavian aesthetic ♥️
This song is my new addiction!
that subtle CHIC guitar hook .....Melancolic, chic, classy, full of intense longing. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Her voice makes me want to cry!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!❤
I love how her outfit is giving me Ruth Bader Ginsburg vibes. What a MOOD.
Oh my god...i cannot get enough of this song. Yesterday, I must have listened to it over 30 times while dealing with flight delays and listening to it again first thing this morning. Jessica Ware you are amazing .. cannot wait for the album now. Thank you.
This is one of the most elegant music videos I've ever watched in my life.
I've lost count on how many times I've listened to this track Jessie you are pure class. The vibe is amazing, impossible not to dance to this while it's playing
I love it and you deserve a Grammy recognition
Ashley Brexton at this rate, this album is shaping up to be one of the best of the year
I need a Festival after all this covid ends, with Jessie Ware, Dua Lipa, Perry, Gaga, Kylie Minogue, Robyn, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Madonna, why not Cher and ABBA... all of these divas of disco/dance/pop song and spectacle!
Oh I totally pictured listening to this on amplified sound! I hope so!
This is the song of my life. It's just mesmerizing how classy, chic, sophisticated, brilliant, beautiful and out of words this whole era was specially this song and video. I first transcended here and now I have the pleasure to feel the same with Begin Again. Thank you, miss Ware
This phenomenal artist is a blitz of the senses.
This is the sounds of late 70's right into the 80's. Outstanding vocal oh yes just dore' it.
Back to my teens & twenties then.....fabulous times
@@kdp8133 Lol I was a teen the last decade during the 10s and I'm barely bout to start my twenties this decade. I definitely will miss these two decades when I become old one day.
Post Disco
She sounds a bite like Vanessa williams ...
Or lisa stanfield
I always feel like I'm having an out of body experience every time I listen to this
who's here after watching ajay's best songs of 2020?
Me me me 👋🤗
it's her "best song of 2020" and it's so deserving!
Meeee
Meeee
Meee
30 sec in, I'm sold.
It's not a bird, it's not a plane. It's Jessie Ware. She's on the train! Maybe her best video yet.
Maybe THE best video yet.
Real music is still alive 👏🏾👏🏾
THE ALBUMS IS A MSSTERPIECE !!! Listen to it in its entirety
Your music is pure luxury. I just can’t get enough. So decedent. In all the most best of ways! 🔥😍
I live it SO MUCH!!!
The Bass, The melody and The way Jessie Ware looks
So thankful that music and videos like THIS are still being made.
It´s absolutely gorgeous! Rarely have I seen a video that captures the lush, surreal and dreamlike mood of a song like this. That´s an instant classic!
The video also reminds me a bit of Bong Joon Ho´s Snowpiercer, which has all of earth survivors living on a giant train.
so glad you said this, I was thinking the exact same as she moved up through the carriages 😁
Wow this song is so irresistible and this music video is STUNNING!
I just discovered this song yesterday and I can’t stop listening to it 😭😭😭
She’s so underrated
I mean...This song is just LIT. Love all these disco references throughout the album and how layered the sound is. Hope she's gonna win awards for this, cause she truly deserves them.
