"Right Here, Right Now" is the song that carried Jesus Jones across the Atlantic, the second single from their second album, Doubt. Mike Edwards wrote it alone, Martyn Phillips produced and engineered it, and John Fryer mixed it, and the result straddles the line between alternative rock and the dance floor: a loping, head-nodding groove with Edwards singing over it in a voice full of wide-eyed wonder.

Britain shrugged. It wandered in and out of the UK chart for nine weeks without climbing past number 31. America went the other way entirely: it topped Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, climbed as high as second place on the Hot 100 that July, sold more than a million copies and picked up a BMI Award. It was also the most-played song on college radio that year, which says plenty about who was listening.
