The heat
Doing all that I can for you
To be a woman and man
So I can treat you better
No I, I can't feel the heat
Yet don't let it catch you
No, I, I can't feel the heat
I know I can't get you home
No, I can't finish my workout
I knew that the moment I run, honey
Won't help it make you better
Still I I can't feel the heat
Yeah, don't let it catch you
Don't, I I can't feel the heat
I know I can't get you home, no
(Keep together, stand on together)
I know I can't get you home
(Keep together, stand on together)
I know I can't get you home
No I, I can't feel the heat
Yeah
I know I can't get you home
No I, I can't feel the heat
No, doing all that I can for you
To be a woman and man, honey
So I can treat you better
"The Heat" by Jungle is a song that explores the complexity of relationships and the struggle to maintain them. The lyrics reflect on the effort that is required to keep a relationship going and the feeling of failure that comes when that effort falls short. The recurring phrase "the heat" represents the intensity and pressure of keeping a relationship alive, despite the challenges that come with it.
The chorus of the song, "No I, I can't feel the heat/Yet don't let it catch you," speaks to the fear of losing someone that is felt when a relationship is not going well. The singer recognizes that they can't handle the pressure of the situation, yet they don't want their partner to give up on them. The lines "Doing all that I can for you/To be a woman and man/So I can treat you better" reveal the desire that both partners have to make their relationship work and show that they are committed to each other.
The final repetition of the line "I know I can't get you home" acknowledges that despite the efforts made, the relationship may still fail. The use of the phrase "get you home" suggests that the relationship has not reached a stable and comfortable state, and that there is still work to be done to achieve that.
Overall, "The Heat" offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of relationships and the struggle to maintain them in the face of external pressures and internal conflicts.

2024 still here 🫡
@parkerhughes434
10 years ago this video was released! Anyone else remember when Jungle was kind of a mystery? No images of the band, no website, no wiki page, no show dates or locations, just banger music videos being dropped without a peep until their first album released.
I was OBSESSED. And 10 years later still am!!!
@RIJU9285
Totally hear ya
@caseybittle5565
I remember they had a Spotify Ad that I heard over and over again for some band that I never had heard of but it was an AMAZING sound, and I could never remember who the group was, it took me like 3 months to find and have been obsessed since. Saw them Live in 2017? amazing group
@ericlee9940
All of Jungle's videos are sick. All the dancing and the mood of the song is very unique. I could listen to this until the day I die.
@GerardoRodriguezBelt
Eric Lee thats so true all of them
@marca4443
@@GerardoRodriguezBelt Eric Lee yesx3. Someone needs to put that in writing for some major music mags. It is (and they are) something else. A shift in the musical platform we are chocking on always in North America (you don't notice you've been chocking on shit until honey comes along)
@camerontaylor7471
Eric Lee the dancing isn’t indie at all... all they did was take the dance movements from the silhouettes of egyptian hieroglyphs and perform it on camera...
@julietteortiz5338
that chills down my anxiety
@thijsvandercaaij5968
And look at their videos now 6 years later!
