Bernard: โI must admit I was a bit dubious when Ana Matronic was suggested as a singer, but she did a fantastic job, really lifted the song. We knew it was a good track, but it needed something that we couldnโt give it.โ
Phil: โWe were aware we had mainly rock tracks, so we consciously wrote something to dance to.โ

Can you wait
My plane will be arriving shortly
Right there at the gate
I pray that you'll be waiting right there for me
This time could be what
Our whole lives waking up
I'm coming back for more
(Leave your baggage behind, you won't need it tonight, enjoy your flight)
J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I want to be (Just how I want to be baby)
J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I want to be (Just how I want to be baby)
We're so high
I'm watching all the clouds drift by below me
We should try
It's been so long since I made you cry
Long Live Love
I just can't get enough of you
I need that engine's push
It's gonna take me home to you
J-E-T (J-E-T)

"Jetstream" by New Order Feat. Ana Matronic is a song about reuniting with a long-distance lover. The lyrics describe the singer's anticipation of meeting their lover at the airport, hoping that they will be waiting for them when they arrive. The song speaks to the excitement and uncertainty of a long-distance relationship, and the desire to connect on a deeper level. The phrase "jetstream lover" suggests a relationship that is intense, passionate, and fast-moving, just like the powerful current of air that helps planes fly.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that the lover is essential to the singer's happiness, using the metaphor of a jetstream to describe their bond. The lyrics suggest that the lover gives the singer a sense of purpose and direction, and that without them, life would be incomplete. The final lines of the song express a sense of longing and regret, suggesting that even though the lovers are apart, they still share a deep connection.
Overall, "Jetstream" is a romantic and uplifting song about the power of love to bridge distance and bring two people together.
