By age 16, she was already making her first vocal recordings as a reference vocalist, and had also worked as a backup singer for several major recording labels.

In 2001, while working at a recording studio in LA, Jes met Mike Olson. The two formed Guardians of the Earth, which was a former successful on MP3.com with songs like Starchildren and One Moon Circling. Starchildren was included on Paul van Dyk’s 2001 Ministry of Sound compilation, The Politics of Dancing. Jes has also collaborated with producers such as D:Fuse, Deepsky and Solar Stone, producing tracks like Living The Dream, Ghost, and Like A Waterfall. The latter track appears on the compilation album In Search of Sunrise 4 by Tiësto, who she also appeared alongside with on selected dates during his Tiësto In Concert Tour.

Jes's most well known work to date is her collaboration with Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden (of Gabriel & Dresden), which led to the formation of the group Motorcycle. Their 2003 hit As the Rush Comes was a number one single on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart in 2004, on which it also became the first year-end number one Dance Airplay track of the same year. As the Rush Comes gave Jes international exposure, which then allowed her to perform in larger venues and festivals like Bacardi Festival (Lebanon), Fresh (Malta), World Electronic Music Festival (Toronto), Escape In The Park (Wales), Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Denver).

In 2006, the song Ghost was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.

It's Too Late
Jes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might be the only thing I ever think about
You might be the only one I ever talk about
And you are everything I thought I'd live without
But now you're the only thing I ever really think about

And it's too late
To turn back now
And it's too late

To turn back now
Lift me up
'Cause it's a long way down
And it's too late
To turn back now

I might be the only thing you never care about
I was everything I never thought you'd live without
Now I'm the only one you never really think about

And it's too late
To turn back now
And it's too late
To turn back now
Lift me up
'Cause it's a long way down
And it's too late
To turn back now

Where do we go from here?
Love will make it right

You might be the only thing I ever think about

It's too late
To turn back now
It's too late
To turn back now
Lift me up
'Cause it's a long way down
And it's too late
To turn back now

You might be the only thing I ever think about

Overall Meaning

In this song, Jes expresses her love and devotion to someone who may not reciprocate those feelings. She acknowledges that she may have previously thought she could live without this person, but now they are the only thing she ever thinks about. However, it seems like her love is unrequited as she also acknowledges that she might be the only thing this person never cares about and that she is the only one they never really think about. Despite this realization, Jes seems to accept that it's too late to turn back now and that they must continue moving forward together even if it means a long way down.

The chorus repeats multiple times reinforcing the idea that they cannot turn back now, and that they're beginning a journey expecting the worse. They both have made their mistake previously and at this point, they need to accept that it's too late to change the past. However, the line "Love will make it right" at the end provides a glimpse of hope that their love will conquer all and eventually lead them to a happy ending.

Overall, the lyrics express the desperation of wanting someone who may not feel the same way and accepting that they must move forward regardless of the outcome.

Line by Line Meaning

You might be the only thing I ever think about
I can't stop thinking about you, you're always on my mind

You might be the only one I ever talk about
I can't help but talk about you all the time

And you are everything I thought I'd live without
I never expected to need someone like you in my life

But now you're the only thing I ever really think about
You've become my everything and I can't imagine my life without you

And it's too late to turn back now
We've come too far to give up on each other now

Lift me up 'cause it's a long way down
I need your support to get through the difficult times ahead

I might be the only thing you never care about
You seem to have moved on and don't seem to care about me anymore

I was everything I never thought you'd live without
I used to think you couldn't live without me, but now it seems like you can

Now I'm the only one you never really think about
You don't seem to be thinking about me anymore and it hurts

Where do we go from here? Love will make it right
We're at a crossroads in our relationship, but as long as we have love, we can make it through
