1. Jungle is an English modern soul musical collective founded by childhood friends, Tom McFarland and Josh Lloyd-Watson.
Jungle was formed at the beginning of 2013, choosing to put an aesthetic emphasis on the music’s surrounding artwork and videos, and not on the pairs' own identity, (McFarland and Lloyd-Watson came to be known as J and T). Throughout the following year Jungle developed its nature as a collective by working with different artists across diverse disciplines. To perform the music live, Jungle expanded to a seven-piece band, fronted by J and T. Their debut album Jungle was released through XL Recordings on 14 July 2014. The album was met with great critical acclaim and was later shortlisted for the 2014 Mercury Prize. Their 2nd album, For Ever, was released on 14 September 2018.

Steven Springer grew up in Port of Spain, Trinidad and is an accomplished, soulful songwriter and innovative finger style guitarist, with his roots in reggae, soca and calypso. His unique musical style is a melting pot of jazz, reggae, Latin, blues, rock and R&B, which combine to form a refreshing exceptional sound. When watching Springer perform, audiences from around the world have been witnessed an artist delivering his music with energy, conviction and raw emotion. Born in Trinidad, in the West Indies, Steven Springer was inspired by the melodic lilting sound of soca and calypso. He started playing guitar at a young age. Steven was intrigued by the fusion of many cultures and the beautiful natural features of Trinidad. In his early twenties, Steven moved to Phoenix, Arizona and formed a band called Sanctuary. Touring worldwide, Springer was a featured artist at the 1988 World’s Fair in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, performing with the Trinidad Calypso Band. Upon returning to the United States, Springer joined Hugh Borde’s world famous Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band, performing and recording with them for over ten years. Currently, Steven also leads the band Tropicooljazz. Among other numerous awards and honors, Steven was chosen “Best Guitar Player,” every year from 1990 to 1993, at the annual Detroit Music Awards.
Dave Sharp, a native Detroiter, became devoted to jazz at the University of Michigan and gained his chops under the tutelage of renowned bassist Herbie Lewis (McCoy Tyner, Cannonball Adderly and Les McCann) in San Francisco, and virtuoso bassist, composer and bandleader Marion Hayden (Straight Ahead) in Detroit. As bassist and composer for the modern jazz ensemble “Spheres of In uence,” and touring bassist for the seminal rock band “The Melvins” (Atlantic Records), Sharp has already made a mark on the national scene. He lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan where he composes, records, teaches and performs with Jungle has his own band Dave Sharp's Secret Seven.
3.Nothing is known about this excellent late sixties album's makers. A reissue is now available, so you can hear how good it is for yourself! Early Morning Rising, Slave Ship, House Of Rooms and Gray Picnic are all loaded with nice guitar and organ, even frantic (if somewhat inept) drumming on occasion. The tracks have an atmospheric, open quality and the recording is superb. This is a lost gem. The reissue has a deluxe embossed cover. It was originally issued in a plain sleeve.

The Heat
Jungle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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!
