Mr jones what does the song mean

Song Released: Mr. Jones Lyrics Shalalalalalala I was down at the New Amsterdam Staring at this yellow-haired girl Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation With a black-haired Flamenco dancer You know, she dances while his father plays guitar She's suddenly Submit Your Interpretation. Your phone number:. Song name. A great upbeat song, although I find it is overrated. It's funny how the Crows haven't produced any songs quite like this one, most of their other songs have been less commercial.

Not that this song is overly commercial, just a lot more radio-friendly than many of his other songs. To be honest, I don't think they knew how popular this song would become The rest of that album is great as well, and has more profound and meaningful songs than this one, but I would say that this one sounds the most upbeat and fun.

Whenever you write something that really sticks— I mean, you think about someone like Paul McCartney, who, however he did it, has probably 50 songs where, if someone named the song, you or I could hum it to them.

You know what I mean? Or my most perfect. But I got it right. And I got that right, too. I was writing about myself in the future, getting something wrong and I knew I would get it wrong and I knew it would be that and I just was sure of it. Your dreams coming true can be an uncomfortable thing.

AS: Yeah, I was thinking about all that when listening to it again, how the song portends a life, how it almost predicts your own life. It was a few years away at that point. Only members can comment. Become a member. Already a member?
