House Music
Eddie Amador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Eddie Amador's House Music express the unique and special connection that many individuals have with the genre of house music. The opening line, "Not everyone understands house music," sets the stage for the rest of the lyrics, highlighting the fact that this type of music is not for everyone. For those who do connect with house music, however, it is more than just an auditory experience. The lyrics go on to describe it as a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing. This suggests that there is something inherently transcendent about this type of music, and people who resonate with it can feel it in every part of their being.
The repetition of the word "thing" in the lyrics is significant, as it suggests that house music is difficult to define or describe. Rather than putting it into words, the individuals who connect with this music experience a feeling that goes beyond simple description. It is important to note that this feeling is not limited to one particular group of people; instead, the lyrics suggest that anyone can experience this connection to house music if they allow themselves to be open to it. In short, the lyrics of Eddie Amador's House Music express the unique and powerful connection that many people have with the genre, highlighting the fact that it is much more than just music; it is an experience that engages the mind, body, and spirit.

Before there was Eddies house music there was Jack and....
In the beginning there was Jack ... and Jack had a groove
And from this groove came the grooves of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box,
Jack boldly declared "Let There Be House" and House music was born.
"I am you see, I am the creator and this is my house
And in my house there is only House Music.
But I am not so selfish because once you enter my house
it then becomes our house and our House Music.
And, you see, no one man owns house
because House Music is a universal language spoken and understood by all.
You see, House is a feeling that no one can understand
really unless you're deep into the vibe of House.
House is an uncontrollable desire to Jack your body.
And as I told you before this is our House and our House Music.
And every House you understand there is a keeper.
And in this house the keeper is Jack.
Now some of you might wonder who is Jack and what is it that Jack does.
Jack is the one who gives you the power to Jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake!
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm!
Jack is the one who learns you how to whop your body!
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together under one house!
You may be black, you may be white, you may be Jew or Gentile.
It don't make a difference in our house. And this is fresh!

Why don't you instead show some respect to the roots of House music, as you basically end the chapter by saying this is the most definitive tracks in the history of House music? Let me give you a history lesson by tracks (note the years of release):
Frankie Knuckles - Your Love (1986, for fuck's sake House was never born if it wasn't for this track and Larry Levan!)
Frankie Knuckles - Baby Wants To Ride (1987)
Mr. Fingers (Larry Heard) - Can You Feel It (1988)
Frankie Knuckles - Tears (1989)
Frankie Knuckles - The Whistle Song (1991)
Todd Terry - House is a Feeling (1991)
JayDee - Plastic Dreams (1993)
Todd Terry - Jumpin' (1994)
MD X-Spress (Mike Dunn) - God Made Me Phunky (1994)
Bob Marley - What Goes Around Comes Around (1996)
Joey Beltram - Energy Flash (1997)
And, then we end with the current track:
Eddie Amador - House Music (1997)
Then I haven't mentioned all the Italo Disco tracks yet which were also at the roots of House, before it was even popular.

Sitting in the car in the work car park on a Saturday morning listening to this with my eyes closed, suddenly I’m no longer 40 years old wearing generic jeans but 19 and in the back room at Gatecrasher. This song has stood the test of time well!
@seancrowley7303
Love you Ben
I’m 50 and I think I feel the same.
We never get it back but my fuck we had it.
@tweezerfetish
Hahaha Generic jeans.

OMG! I was working in a High-End store in Los Angeles called the Factory. We had a DJ in the store, and he would play this song while everyone would shop. That was the first time I heard it. Man, I thought it rocked and to this day it still does. Love my years when I was in my 20's. Miss those days. Partied Hardy!!!
