Synopsis

Filmed against the vast landscapes of the Australian outback, "Stillness in Time" presents Jamiroquai in a relaxed, sun-drenched performance setting. Jay Kay and the full band dance, move through the open terrain, and briefly play their instruments as the video shifts between wide landscape shots and close-ups. Its bright, playful presentation matches the song's Latin-tinged groove and reflective lyrics, while the desert setting gives the performance a sense of freedom and distance from everyday troubles.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video is notable for featuring the entire band prominently. This was unusual for Jamiroquai videos, which often concentrated heavily on frontman Jay Kay.
  • Filming took place in the Australian outback, where Jay Kay later recalled that temperatures reached approximately 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • At least two edits of the video circulated: a UK version and an international version. The international cut continued to appear on some European music television channels.
  • Didgeridoo player Wallis Buchanan wears a shirt featuring the Aboriginal flag, a visible detail that connects the band's lineup with the Australian setting.
  • The song first appeared on the 1994 album "The Return of the Space Cowboy" before being issued as a single in 1995.
  • Three principal audio versions exist: a radio edit, the standard album recording, and an extended vinyl version.

Lyrics

There's a stillness in time
Which I cannot define
Does your heart bleed like mine
For a place we can go
Where the troubles of our time are far away
And I had all my life in front of me
Now my darkness days are trouble free
There's no place where I could rather be
Than this journey of discovery.

I found love in that way
And I'm never sad, and I'm always glad
Anything you give me today
