I agree with regardemylasheskgm, and I think this song is about the simple-minded-ness of kids, and how they don't judge anyone, either. They judge based on who is nice to them and who takes the time to talk to them, but they don't judge people based on their background or what they wear or anything like that.

I am always wondering who "Jason" was, and where he is now, that must be so cool to be in an ani song, i wonder if he likes ani or if he is just like different now, or if he kept his non-judgemental ways..hmm. it's interesting to think about. He was seven when the song was written, and it was written from puddledive in 1993 i believe (one of my favoite albumns!), and that must mean that right now (2006, almost 2007), if his birthday is really on the fourth of july, that he is 20 now, i think. Wow., it really shows how much ani has changed her music, how many albumns she put out and such. haha... Anyway, I love this song, and the lyrics are so honest and the rhythms and instrumentals are just so happy. This is another one of her up-beat songs, and i remember the first time i heard it i had a hard time believing it was ani! haha., i wonder if she ever plays this live?
