This is one of the few songs of Hurt's that's fairly easy to know the meaning to. Also one of the few songs that J has talked about. His parent's forbade him to listen to rock and roll, and forced him into listening to classical music. They also forced him to play an instrument, and hence how and why he plays the violin/cello so much in his songs. He said the first rock song he had ever heard in his entire life was "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam at his friends house.
