The Jayes had a successful run during the 1970s with songs such as “Righteous Man Satta”, “Queen Majesty”, “Melody Life”, “Yaho” and “I’m The One Who Loves You”. Lloyd Ruddock aka Scooner (King Tubby’s brother) left the group in 1979 and was replaced by Vincent Bryan, who did one year with the group before migrating to the US. Then Unes ‘Sharlo’ Mclean joined the group, but just before The Jays released their debut album, “The Jays Volume One”, he too moved on. New member Derrick Coke died in 1981 and was replaced by Lloyd Forest (a former member of The Royals and The Chantells) in 1982. After a long absence from the local entertainment scene during the 1990s and early 2000s, but with Errol Wilson and Lloyd Forrest still doing recordings as a duo, The Jays again became a trio when Leo Hall joined them in 2003. In that same year they went to Studio One and recorded an album called “The Right Solution”. Errol Wilson died in 2018.
The Band --> A four-piece rock band from essex - the undeniable chemistry between band members is attributed to friendships dating back as early as playschool. Influences that inspire both the music and rock n roll "f**k you" attitude include the likes of Biffy Clyro and Brand New, Aerosmith and G n R. An energetic stageshow combined with big melodic choruses, screaming 80's guitar solos and an inespcapably infectious party attitude will guarantee everyone in the venue feels like utter sh*t the next morning. see you at the bar.
Truly
The Jays Lyrics

蝴蝶不再被吸引 玫瑰盛開得很安靜
遠方的風雨不停 城市蒼白而孤寂
徘徊無助的人群 焦慮著何時放晴
故事裡能毀壞的只有風景
誰也摧毀不了我們的夢境
弦月旁的流星劃過了天際
我許下 的願望 該向誰 去說明
隕石在浩瀚的宇宙間旅行
璀璨的夜空裡漫天的水晶
我的禱告終於有了回音
我是如此相信
在背後支撐的是你 一直與我並肩而行
仰望等太陽升起 聽見鳥群回來的聲音
為我守候的人是你 給了我堅定的信心
雙手彈奏出黎明 原來愛如此的動聽
鳥群離開了森林 整座天空很灰心
蝴蝶不再被吸引 玫瑰盛開得很安靜
遠方的風雨不停 城市蒼白而孤寂
徘徊無助的人群 焦慮著何時放晴
故事裡能毀壞的只有風景
誰也摧毀不了我們的夢境
弦月旁的流星劃過了天際
我許下 的願望 該向誰 去說明
隕石在浩瀚的宇宙間旅行
璀璨的夜空裡漫天的水晶
我的禱告終於有了回音
我是如此相信
在背後支撐的是你 一直與我並肩而行
仰望等太陽升起 聽見鳥群回來的聲音
為我守候的人是你 給了我堅定的信心
雙手彈奏出黎明 原來愛如此的動聽
我是如此相信
在背後支撐的是你 一直與我並肩而行
仰望等太陽升起 聽見鳥群回來的聲音
為我守候的人是你 給了我堅定的信心
雙手彈奏出黎明 原來愛如此的動聽
The song "Truly" by The Jays is a beautiful representation of hope, faith and the power of love in difficult times. The lyrics describe a world that is seemingly bleak and sad, with birds leaving the forest, butterflies losing their allure, and a distant storm that refuses to let up. However, amidst all the chaos and despair, the singer finds solace in their belief that nothing can destroy their dreams and hope for a better future. They are confident that they are supported by someone special, who has given them the strength to persevere and face any challenge.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this belief and support, with the singer declaring that they trust and rely on their partner to walk with them through the storms of life, and help them see the beauty in the world again. The image of the returning birds and the rising sun work as symbols of redemption and the coming of a new day, where everything looks brighter and more hopeful. The song concludes with a realization that true love and the warmth of human connection can create a harmony that is not only pleasing to the ears but can also bring light into the darkness.
Overall, "Truly" is a poignant and moving song that touches on many themes that resonate with people across cultures and generations, such as the importance of trust, faith, and love in navigating the challenges of life. It is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope, and that nothing can destroy the power of human connection.
