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.

Same Mistake
Jes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You’ve had me hanging on for years
I’ve so much to say
Twisting circles on the truth
It’s as clear as day
I never asked for much
But I only wanted You
I gave everything I have inside
But nothing would do
You ain’t never gonna change
And it will always be this way
And I won’t make
The same mistake
Again

This is what I need to face
Old habits are hard to break
I won’t make the same mistake again
And now I finally reached the point of no return
It took a lot of heart ache and pain
For me to learn
That life is just too short to fake
And we’re all wrong
And I don’t need to be afraid
Of moving on
You ain’t never gonna change
And it will always be this way
And I won’t make the game mistake
Again
This is what I need to face




Old habits are hard to break
I won’t make the same mistake again

Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go
Oh ooh
Oh ooh
I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Oh ooh
And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk, and not just speak
Don't buy the promises, cause
There are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go

Ah ooh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Ah ooh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh
Ah ooh

Saw the world turning in my sheets (Ah ooh)
And once again, I cannot sleep (Ah ooh)
Walk out the door and up the street (Ah ooh)
Look at the stars (Ah ooh)
Look at the stars fall down (Ah ooh)
And wonder where (Ah ooh)
Did I go wrong?

Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

Hello, hello
There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy, does it show?
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

And so I sent some men to fight
And one came back at dead of night
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises, 'cause
There are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars
Look at the stars fall down
And I wonder where
Did I go wrong

Ok, I know a lot of Brazilians came here recently and said something about “late coração cachorro” (it’s like “bark, doggy heart”) but I can’t correlate the two songs. The version became a major hit here in Brazil, but the original… wow! It’s also very popular (and it was a bigger hit at that time), but it’s so freaking beautiful! It’s just lovely the way the melody enters our hearts through the ears. Congratulations on the amazing artist you are. The Brazilian version made me remember how amazing this song is, along with other hits you created. Thank you! God bless you ❤️
