1. The Jets are a family band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, composed of brothers and sisters who specialize in pop, R&B, and dance music, particularly Latin freestyle.
The group officially formed in 1985, with the original lineup fizzling out by 1990. Several members of the family stayed on throughout the 1990s, unofficially reviving the group in the mid to late 1990s as a gospel outfit with most of the original members present.
Various record companies have released collections of songs from the group's popular period, while the modern incarnation of the group continues to perform at various small venues, primarily casinos and private corporate functions.
2. The Jets formed in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1958 as The Rocking Explosives and debuted on stage in 1960. Their instrumental guitarmusic sounded similar to The Shadows. They renamed the band to The Jets in 1963. The group had a big hit in Japan with an instrumental version of 'Goldfinger' under the name The Goldfingers (due to another band in Japan called The Jets). In 1966 The Jets were aiming for succes in England and recorded the single The Pied Piper, a later hit in the version by Crispian St. Peters. The Jets reformed in 1982 and still performs today.
3. Great pop has not been as prominent this decade as in the last but songwritters Graham and Mick are helping to remedy that. It's obvious they share the thoughts and dreams of John, Paul, The Hollies and Dave Clark. Both cuts are previously released as a single, TTR 7805.

Special Kinda Love
The Jets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were soaking wet no time to be impressed
And I remember so much later on
I knew that you were someone I would not forget
Everybody's searching hungry for the glamor
You know too many hearts are in a rush
No matter how you try to, you can't explain
The places you find love
All around me the need to find the place
Where feeling can be safe, it's not money that buys happiness
No, it's not the shine of silver that puts the heart to rest
Everybody's pushing the clock is always running
And no one ever seems to have enough
And when you least expect it
You come upon the places you find love, love, love
Remember in a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed
You reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah
It's a river never stopping winding in and out
But you should never doubt
It will lead you to the ocean someday
There's no way to fight it let it carry you away
Everybody's dreaming waiting for the feeling
That moment when they finally rise above
But it's always in the giving
That gets you to the places you find love, love
Remember in the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing the feeling stays alive, yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving no, 'cause they will believe in love, sweet love
Love, love, love, love, love
Remember in a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars
In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
Seeing's not believing the feeling stays alive, yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up no, they still believe in love, sweet love
In a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars
The Jets's song "Special Kinda Love" speaks about the search for true love in a world that often prioritizes surface-level connections and material possessions. The singer recalls meeting someone on a rainy day, and despite not being impressed by their appearance at first, they knew that this person would stay with them. The song reminds us that love cannot be explained or bought, and that it often comes unexpectedly.
The lyrics highlight the pressures of society to constantly be in a rush, pursuing success and material wealth. However, the song suggests that true love is found in unexpected places, and often requires time and effort to cultivate. The singer encourages us to look around us and notice the moments when we feel like we're flying, without even trying.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "the places you find love," emphasizing the idea that love is not a destination, but rather a journey that we constantly strive towards. The final verse mentions children who haven't yet learned to hate, suggesting that love is a pure and natural state that we can all learn from. Overall, "Special Kinda Love" is a hopeful and optimistic message about the power of love to transcend the materialistic concerns of the world around us.
