Van Halen
Hard rock / Glam Metal
‘Jump’ is Van Halen first single from the album 1984. The concept for this music video is just based on a rock concert with no real story behind the video. This song is probably one of the most known songs from the Van Halen discography known for its pop-synth based melody line driving the song along. Interestingly enough, this song also hides the fact that despite the success of this song, Van Halen is better known for producing music in the Hard Rock/Metal genre.
The concept for this music video is just based on a rock concert with no real story behind the video. This music video focuses on the playing style of the genre of the band in which the technical side of the music is emphasised by camera shot close ups onto the band members instrument playing.
These are the lyrics for the song:
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
I like to jump, and then go round and round
And I know, just how it feels.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I'm getting ready for a soccer scene I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean?
Might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Hey you! Who said that?
Baby how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know
until you begin.
Well can't you see me standing here,
I'm getting ready for a soccer scene
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean?
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
Lyric wise actually has no relation to the video whatsoever; the song is based on when a person attempts suicide by jumping of a building. This makes a rather depressing theme but is taken away from the cheesy pop melody of the song, along with the music video having no references to suicide.
