This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I didn't ask, they shouldn't have told me
At first I laughed but now
It's sinking in fast, whatever they sold me
Well, baby
I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
It gets hard, the memory's faded
Who gets what the say?
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well, maybe
I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
'Til we're talking about not stepping around it
Maybe
I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
'Til I hear it from you, oh no
'Til I hear it from you, oh no
'Til I hear it from you
'Til I hear it from you
(Won't take advice from fools)
(I'll figure everything is cool)
'Til I hear it from you
(Won't take advice from fools)
(I'll figure everything is cool)
'Til I hear it from you
At first I laughed but now
It's sinking in fast, whatever they sold me
Well, baby
I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
It gets hard, the memory's faded
Who gets what the say?
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well, maybe
I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
'Til we're talking about not stepping around it
Maybe
I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
'Til I hear it from you, oh no
'Til I hear it from you, oh no
'Til I hear it from you
'Til I hear it from you
(Won't take advice from fools)
(I'll figure everything is cool)
'Til I hear it from you
(Won't take advice from fools)
(I'll figure everything is cool)
'Til I hear it from you

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
This am i surprised! The song has no comments whatsoever, this is one of the best gin blossoms songs around!
"Till I Hear it from You" by Gin Blossoms
This song captures the initial feelings of denial.
How this song plays out visually for me in my head:
Starts off with a bunch of guys hanging out in an apartment. They ask the main guy how things are with "Lisa" and he says they're doing alright... awkward pause as the other guys start to tell the main guy, "Jared" that they've heard some unsavory things about Lisa from mutual friends. They begin to go into detail about the rumored tryst with some random guy. Jared's friends keep telling him she's bad news, but he just cant take anymore gossip and gets up in a huff and storms out... begins to walk home to the apartment Lisa and him share.
The entirety of the song is him essentially talking to himself as he walks home on a crowded city street... coaching himself from jumping off the ledge (believing the rumors he just heard; possibly starting a fight as soon as he gets home)...
[the pace and rhythm of the song goes along with the speed and intensity he is walking.]
He's trying really hard not to be angry, but at the same time he just cant shake what his friends told me. Partly because he's also had his reservations about her loyalty. If he didn't know believe what they said he really wouldn't even need to coach himself so much.
the song end and he opens the door to his apartment and Lisa is on the couch watching tv with a box of pizza and some beers and says, "Hi babe, where you been?" he just plops down on the couch and Lisa rests her head on his shoulder.
He'd rather stay in the relationship because theres good stuff here. That is to say until she breaks it off. He won't be the one to pull the trigger on their relationship.
I love this song and its the only song I know from Gin Blossoms. If you liked my little story (lol), follow me, yeah? okay, cool. Thanks!
