Fun facts
Jamiroquai released Light Years in 1994, as part of The Return of the Space Cowboy. The song was written by Jay Kay and Toby Smith, and produced by Rick Pope. Later, in February 1995, they released it as a single, but it did not make it to the UK charts. The video, directed by Christian Stevenson, shows the band snowboarding, as if they had also decided to try their hand at snowboarding.

The story behind
Jamiroquai released a song called Light Years that became a reference point in their career. The song has a smooth rhythm, with a touch of electronic and a bass that moves as if it were walking. The band's voice feels like it is telling a story of a journey, of going beyond what is known. The lyrics talk about distances, time and how sometimes what seems far, in reality is not that far. The melody is simple but stays in your head, like a song that accompanies you in the simplest moments. The band recorded it in a studio, with a band of musicians who moved with the same energy they have in their concerts. The song became one of the clearest moments of their sound, a reflection of how they can mix the modern with what remains authentic.
