Indiana grew an interest in writing her own music when she took possession of her mother's piano, and began to teach herself how to play it over time. Initially, she covered songs using chords found online, uploading several of these to YouTube. Her cover of Joe Goddard's "Gabriel" was noticed by one of the song's co-writers, John Beck, who was impressed by the quality of her performance. The two later attended a studio session together, where the track "Blind As I Am" - which became her debut single - came to fruition.
At the beginning of 2012, Indiana began to upload her original tracks to BBC Introducing, a programme by the BBC that allows unsigned artists to receive airplay on BBC Radio 1. "Blind As I Am" was noticed by presenter Huw Stephens and was played on the station, which led to a number of record contract offers from EMI and Sony Music; she eventually signed with the latter in May 2012.
A number of singles were released, namely "Mess Around", "Bound" and "Smoking Gun" - the latter of these being released with an accompanying EP featuring three additional tracks.
Indiana received her major breakthrough with the release of the uptempo "Solo Dancing"; it reached the B-list at BBC Radio 1, and charted at #9, #14 and #85 in Scotland, the UK and Ireland respectively. Her debut album, "No Romeo", and its second official single, "Heart on Fire", were announced in July 2014. The song did reach the A-list at Radio 1, but underperformed on the charts, only reaching #89 in the UK - this led to the parent album facing a number of pushbacks.
A third single, "Only the Lonely", was announced in November with a music video debuting shortly after - however, the release was cancelled in favour of a re-release of "Solo Dancing". The single outpeaked its previous performance on the BBC Radio 1 playlist, making it to the A-list. Her debut album "No Romeo" was released on February 2nd. While it was originally set for a September release, the date was changed to late October, followed by a number of dates in January 2015 with the label eventually settling on a February release.

Indiana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took it too far, you took too many
And as she fled the scene
She cry the more, the more, the more dark
Two kids in love but it's all gone out,
All gone out, all gone out
Jack fall down and he broke his crown
He soon call up, now you take the town
Take the town, take the town
I found blood and they all fall down
All fall down, all fall down
He'll stay forever that way
All of that blood on you Jack
It's not worth bringing me for
For shame, avenge my soul
All of that blood on you Jack
It's not worth bringing me for
Back, back, back, back
As they turn to us, the smoke in summer cast a shadow
They gather all your boys
And they call murder, murder, murder
Two kids in love but it's all gone out,
All gone out, all gone out
Jack fall down and he broke his crown
Broke his crown, broke his crown
He soon call up, now you take the town
Take the town, take the town
I found blood and they all fall down
All fall down, all fall down
He'll stay forever that way
All of that blood on you Jack
It's not worth bringing me for
For shame, avenge my soul
All of that blood on you Jack
It's not worth bringing me for
Back, back, back, back
I tried to hide but basing me out
To all the things you hang about
Now I'm dancing in my safe spot
You joined to chase the blame
We joined to chase the blame
You joined to chase the blame
You joined to chase the blame
You joined to chase the blame
He'll stay forever that way
All of that blood on you Jack
It's not worth bringing me for
For shame, avenge my soul
All of that blood on you Jack
It's not worth bringing me for
Back, back, back, back
The song "Jack" by Indiana tells a story of two kids in love who took their actions too far. The lyrics suggest that Jack has done something terrible, which has resulted in a scene of chaos and bloodshed. The main protagonist, who appears to be a witness or victim, is calling out to Jack, telling him that the blood on his hands is "not worth bringing me for." It is not clear what crime has been committed, but the lyrics suggest that the incident has caused shame and anger among the community who are now calling for justice.
The chorus repeats the line "two kids in love but it's all gone out," which highlights the tragic nature of the situation. Whatever the crime, it has ruined the relationship between the two young lovers, and the events that have unfolded have caused irreparable damage.
There is a sense of desperation in the lyrics as the singer pleads with Jack to come forward and face the consequences of his actions. The repetition of the phrase "all fall down" emphasizes the chaos and destruction of the scene, and the final refrain of "you joined to chase the blame" suggests that the singer and others were dragged into the situation through their association with Jack.
Overall, the song is a powerful portrayal of the consequences of taking things too far, and the destruction that can result from reckless actions.

Hey, Hey, Jack is BACK. I know I'm happy as well as others that your doing well. Sure, I've missed going traveling with you on your journeys trucking, but situations change. P.S. took this video to the bank, had them test it with the marker, like they do cash, turns out this WAS real. Not fake or counterfeit. Appreciate letting us FANS know. Enjoy your day.

You have a unique quality that we enjoy watching. So we will be patient and wait for the next one. We really glad you were able to take a break and not in the hospital!
Take care,

Glad you are doing well Jack! After watching this video the next step for you is easy to see... you need to go out and hire you one of those "Pretty Little Things" to help you with all of the filing, sorting, collating and that other routine office work. It will really help free you up to take care of those real important things they actually brought you into the office to do.

Making videos should be a hobby, and something you enjoy. Some people don’t realize that video production is a lot of work. Glad you’re doing well, Jack 👍🏼

Dang, Jack...sounds like you’re working longer hours than when you were driving. Hubby and I were talking about you just yesterday saying how much we’re missing you. Thanks for letting us know you’re doing fine and enjoying your new job. Don’t be a stranger. Hope to see you again soon.

Well sir, I'm glad to see another video - no matter the 'style'.
I hope you are content in your latest career move and making good money at it.
I still enjoy watching re-runs of your journeys with 'Old Red' and 'The Swede'.
(Just a brief message from time to time will keep us from despairing your situation)
