Kids growing up in the late 70's and early 80's had more freedom. I was too young to enjoy it. When this song came out cops harassed us no matter where we parked our cars to hang out. I recall seeing teens in the late 70's have a party with beer and those funny cigarettes they smoked (weed) out of a van in a grocery store parking lot where they bought there beer as the drinking age was just 18 then. Those were the times to grow up in but I was still pooping my diapers or pissing my training pants... but at least I didn't have to sit in a stupid car seat

Born in 92, I caught the back end of it and am totally jealous. I wanna go back!!

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.”

I vividly remember. In...it must have been early 1991. I was in my last year of high school. I was in the car with my dad and brother both - to date the last time (or near to it) we've been in a car together. This song was on the radio. We pulled up to a stoplight, and across the way there was some girl in her car. She was dancing her ass off in the driver's seat, clearly to the same song. I don't know who she was, but she was *SO* into it. Her happiness was so contagious it made *me* feel alive and amazed and joyous that I could witness her happiness and abandon in such a hopeful time. So, thanks, lads, for giving me that memory.

One of those songs that takes you back with a smile

Every Saturday morning during cartoons…80’s…greatest decade in HISTORY!

I heard this song in a T-Mobile commercial, and the song had such a cool tune that I HAD to look it up. So glad I found the original video!

This song was a true signature of this time. I look back and felt exactly this way. The cold war had ended and we believed that we had entered an era of peace (how very naive we were). A musical revolution had and was about to erupt (electro music was booming and the following year Nirvana would change the rock world with smells like teen spirit) and I was a young adult in the prime of my life. I love this song for this reason.

iconic. Few songs can capture a moment in history like this song did. Props.

Summer of ‘91 Buffalo NY! This album was on heavy rotation at the restaurant I worked at. Such a great summer and band. I loved all that dancey, psychedelic, funk backbeat stuff coming out of England during that time. So good.

I had such a cool life experience in October 1991! I was in college and a local band learned that I used to play drums from 4th grade all through high school, and in jazz and garage bands. Their drummer couldn't make three gigs so they asked me to relearn how to play the drum set and learn an 18-song set, and I had never played such a gig. I had one week to accomplish this. Jesus Jones was big at the time and we started off the whole set with "Right Here Right Now". We played at the campus pub and since some of the band members were music majors, other music major students volunteered to do the sound system without pay, so I played on a fully-mic'd drumset, which was awesome from the start when I did the sound check on every part of the kit. From the start of the gig, I had such a great time, but was surprised from the start when a five-piece brass band covered all of the parts of the song! We also played Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" and I was wondering, "How are we going to cover that last part where a man sings in an African language?!" Then a beautiful, young woman, a music major showed up on stage wearing a soprano saxophone and blew that part of out the ballpark!

Why can't music be this good now? Damn I miss the 80's early 90's)

This song was written partly in response to all the tired old boomers constantly going on about how great the 60s were. So you've now become that tired old boomer.

I strive to have the enthusiasm for life that keyboard guy has. Great memories.

YES. This just popped up on MTV! I witnessed a lot of this history in this video while living in Germany from 1984-1995. Let's not destroy what so many people lost their lives for. PEACE!

Classic 90's. Glad I was a teen then.❤🎉

Who knew this song was going to be a forever classic, I'm still dancing to it here in 2020 😇🙏🏼💯🕺🏻

This song came out in 1991 I was only 13 years old and great a song as well.

I remember I liked this song the first time I heard it back in 1991. Still love it in 2024

I could just cry hearing this song again! Such nostalgic memories of those times

One of the best concerts I ever saw for a minor band. They were at Visage in Orlando, right when they were moving up. The A/C broke and 500 people were packed cheek to cheek, sweating profusely, and dancing as one. I can still feel and see that show, what 30 years later?

Well written song. Will forever be a golden hit 🙏🏽

This was one of those songs that seemed too short so you had to listen to it over a few times. What a great bass groove. For me, I think the poignancy of the lyrics was lost on me a little at the time because I loved it so much musically.

When San Francisco radio station LIVE 105 gave free concerts in early 90’s, I waited in the rain for this Jesus Jones show. What a fantastic time! In a tiny packed club where everyone was elbow to elbow. When the music started everyone started jumping up and down. I was one of the taller people there,a short girl all of a sudden appeared right in front of me looking up, I jumped up with the crowd and looking down at her elbowed her in the head and she disappeared, sorry about that, I’ll never forget you. I believe they did one more show after? Not sure, but as I was leaving there were much more people waiting on the block to see them. One of the best times ever! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

*Right Here Right Now Watching The World Wake Up From History...* I miss hearing Jesus Jones!

Wow.. Remembering my high school years in the early 90s. Proud of growing up in the 80s and 90s 👍👍😎

Scorpions 'Wind of Change' must surely rank up there for an anthem of the era.

This song always brings me to tears of appreciation of this experience of life.

This song is so inspirational! It abounds in samples and sonic manipulations, yet its hit is clean and pure: a blast of optimism and goodwill. One of the greatest songs of the '90s. ❤

I'm 25 years old and heard this song on the radio in 2017. I now listen to this when I need some uplifting. Good song

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?

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.

Music changes, but we sorely need more music like this right now. Not the style, just message and the musicianship.

I was in 9th grade when this song came out ❤❤

Thank you for taking me back to my senior year. So many years passed by.

Watching this in April 2020 as I work on reports while 'sheltering in place'. After what 30 years or so? I still love this song!

What a badass song!!! So powerful, and special.

Wow me and this song are the same age , my how time flies let’s love and value each other I’ve heard this song on so many commercials ,Live from 2023 #Free Palestine

Such a great song. It gave a lot of optimism to us when the Iron Curtain fell.

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.

It’s the kickoff. Berlin Wall came down in Nov. ‘89, Warsaw Pact countries followed in 1990, and the USSR collapsed in ‘91, just in time for Nirvana, I guess. 😆

No other song captured the moment of November 1989, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the Soviet empire, like this song. The energy, the hope, the optimism. Not pensive like Scorpions "Wind Of Change", but brash, in your face.
