1. The Jacks (also known as … Read Full Bio ↴There are a lot of bands called The Jacks:
1. The Jacks (also known as the Cadets) were an American doo wop group from the 50/60s
2. Jacks ( ジャックス) were a 1960s Japanese psychedelic rock group who released their best known studio album Vacant World (marketed as 'Karappo No Sekai' [Vacant World] or 'Jacks no Sekai' [Jacks' World] in Japanese) in 1968. The Jacks, originally known as Nightingale, began their career in 1966 as a folk trio. After jazz drummer Takasuke Kida joined the group they headed into a new musical direction. Vacant World is widely seen as one of the most important Japanese albums. The song 'Vacant World' (or 'Karappo no Sekai' in Japanese) was famously banned from Japanese airwaves due to lyrical content. The Jacks' musical legacy has carried on in Japan despite the fact that their career was quite short, disbanding shortly before the release of their second studio album Super Session (or 'Jacks No Kiseki' in Japanese).
3. The Jacks are 3 girls & 1 guy from Holland. They play rock music with a hint of pop.
Marcia's edgy voice and Estelle's nasty guitar solos are carried by the sturdy rythm section. Put them on a stage and you will experience a raw, energetic show.

5.The Jacks, Northampton, UK
In the spring of 2007 Dom - lead vocals, rhythm guitar and Paul - bass, backing vocals got themselves together to form a band in their home town of Northampton. They had gone to school together and had kept in touch through their different Universities in Newcastle (Dom) and York (Paul). One of a long line of drummers was in place and THE JACKS did their first gig, not in Northampton, but all the way down in south-east London in a bar called Imbibe. Their soundman was the lad from the local hometown guitar shop who Dom had persuaded to come for the ride, but on seeing the band he had a different idea and offered to be the bands lead guitar player so from the 2nd gig onwards THE JACKS were four.
With changing drummers, THE JACKS spent the rest of 2007 gigging around Northampton and up to their University Cities trying to find a way to get their music heard. Before long they found that they had sold out Camden’s Barfly twice. Support slots followed in Newcastle at the Academy with the likes of One Night Only, Newton Faulkner, The Days, A-Human and Imperial Leisure.
In 2008 THE JACKS also managed to hustle some support slots with press darlings THE LONG BLONDES and joined them on three dates of their UK tour in Newcastle, Oxford and Northampton.
In the winter of 2008 they got some down time at Fish Factory Studios in Neasden to record their first single with producer Saul Davies (James). Around the same period at about 5am Dom was mooching around outside Gazza’s Rocking Blues in Soho where he met Martin. The night finished the following morning with the two paddling in the Thames by Putney Rowing Club. Later it emerged that Martin played the drums and he was recruited to join the band at the beginning of 2009. [source: www.altsounds.com]

Just a Little Bit
The Jacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought I was spared for something bigger than life
But everything I've done since then has been for nothing
I watch movies just to fill up the time
Chances wasted all I do is survive
And if you say you wanna hurt me
Get in line it's been on my mind
While I'm giving her another like
And a little bit of compassion goes a long way
And a little bit of caring and I'd love to stay
But I've got a little bit of rage
And a little bit of despair
And it's that little bit of self-hate that will push you away
I can't commit every decision is an endless task
Stuck in an hourglass without any sand
I'll do my laundry check my phone and wonder when I died
I'll catch the raincloud floating over my bed
I'll set the table time to do it again
And I believe in never after
A flash of sunlight that's all we are
Instead I'll smile for whatever brought me
To this pantomime of a life
And a little bit of compassion goes a long way
And a little bit of caring and I'd love to stay
But I've got a little bit of rage
And a little bit of despair
And it's that little bit of self-hate that will push you away
Dropped my feelings on the way
I snuff the candle and I take myself to bed
Before I wake
And a little bit of compassion goes a long way
And a little bit of caring and I'd love to stay
But I've got a little bit of rage
And a little bit of despair
And it's that little bit of self-hate that will push you away
The Jacks's song, "Just a Little Bit," is a powerful ballad that encourages listeners to rise up from the challenges they face in life. The song opens with the lyrics, "And it will take a little bit of extra time, to make it shine, to make it shine. And it will take a little bit of extra care, to bring it where you think it's there." This line is an encouragement to not give up when things get tough, but to keep pushing forward and to take the time and care to reach your goals.
The lyrics also address the idea that anyone can be "the one" that will bring success and happiness into your life. The line "Anyone you see, Anyone you meet, Someone at your feet, anyone could be that one" implies that the person you may be looking for could be anywhere, and it takes effort and patience to find them. The song also touches on the idea of self-reflection and growth, as the lyrics state "And it will take a little bit of all you've got, to get a shot, get a shot."

And it will take a little bit of extra time
It will require additional time to perfect it.
To make it shine, to make it shine
To improve it so that it looks amazing.
And it will take a little bit of extra care
It will require extra attention to detail.
To bring it where you think it's there
To achieve what you have been working towards.
And there's no one else around
There is no one to assist you.
This is what I've found
It's what I have discovered through my experiences.
Anyone you see
Anyone who you come across.
Anyone you meet
Anyone who you have an encounter with.
Some one at your feet
Someone who is in close proximity to you.
Anyone could be that one
Any individual has the potential to be the ideal match.
Anyone you know
Any individual who you are familiar with.
Anywhere you go
In any place you might visit.
Some one in a show
A person performing on a stage.
Could be that one
They may be the individual you are looking for.

And there's nowhere else to go
There are no other options available.
This is what I know
I am confident in this fact.
Everywhere you look
In all directions you look in.
Pages of a book
In the contents of a book.
All the years it took
After all the time it's taken.
Everything got you down
All the things have had an adverse effect on you.
And it will take a little while to get back home
It will take some time to return to your place of origin.
The road is long, the road is long
The journey is quite lengthy.
And it will take a little work to get it back
It will require some effort to get back on track.
To mend the cracks, to bridge the gaps
To repair what is broken and fill in the gaps.
Could feel the same
May have experienced similar emotions.
Maybe you'd complete
Perhaps you are the missing piece.
Never let it keep you down
Do not allow it to negatively impact you.
Holding out for used
Finding hope in what was once overlooked.
Broken up and bruised
Hurt and beat up.
Losable to lose
You are at risk of losing what you have.
Think it doesn't show
You believe it is not visible to others.
Everybody knows
Everyone is aware.
Some one at you feet
Someone who is nearby.

I noticed it last week that it was replaced on Apple Music, too, and it made me quite sad. The last version was much more rock n roll :(
