It was in Katowice's Spodek, somewhere around 1996 on some music bussiness party. At the time Banach was in Hey and Gutek was vocaly supporting Overmind.

But the real beginning was the song "Drogi" which appeared two years later on "Part One". It was Gutek's first album and Banach's tenth but in many ways his first as he recorded it in a way he had never before.

In 2002 a decision about making the second record was made. The first meeting after couple of years took place in much nicer surroundings - somewhere half way between Szczecin and Koszalin in the attic of the house, boarding with the forest, first song for the new album - "Mental Revolution" was born. Later "The Sign" and "The Sun" were polished although Banach got the idea for those two while in Greece.

It's a very cosmopolitan record - two Poles under Spanish-sounding name, recording Jamaican music, ideas of which were first born in France, Greece and Japan. Even if we try to place Indios Bravos' music somewhere in Poland it proofs to be very difficult. Gutek was born, grew-up and lives in Katowice. Banach on the other hand is from Szczecin and lives in Warsaw. Szczecin is also home of the musicians who make Indios Bravos - the live band because from October 2002 Indios Bravos is not just a studio project but a full band set.

The first gig was very humble. Gutek and Banach were supported on stage by Pawel Gawronski (keboard and backing vocals) and Krzysztof Sak (guitar). Later the band expanded and was joined by Ryszard Labul (bass), Przemek Filipkowski (keyboard) and Tomek Kubik (drums).

No, no, no, no it's not for me to be on the top of your list
No, no, no, no it's not for me to be on the top of your list
Why you keep tellin' me that this time it's gonna be all right
No, no, no, no it's not for me to be on the top of your list

So and so you try to lie but I, I cannot let you fool me
So and so you try to lie but I, I cannot let you fool me
You think you've got me now, but I can see through your eyes

So and so you try to lie but I, I cannot let you fool me

I ignore every scorn you'll see, you will see
I ignore every little, every little, every little scorn you'll see
You will see

I n'I know we cannot compromise 'cause you're not listenin' to me
I n'I know we cannot compromise 'cause you're not listenin' to me

I'd rather get myself high than lookin' into your eyes
I n'I know we cannot compromise 'cause you're not listenin' to me

Overall Meaning

The song "No no no no" by Indios Bravos is a powerful and emotive message of self-worth and empowerment. The lyrics speak of a person who is tired of being pushed around and disregarded in a relationship, and who is finally standing up for themselves. The repetition of "no, no, no, no" creates a sense of defiance, as if the singer is putting their foot down and refusing to be treated poorly any longer.

The first verse speaks to the fact that the singer is not interested in being at the top of their partner's list of priorities. They are tired of being told that things will be okay this time when they know deep down that they won't be. The second verse is all about calling out their partner's lies and not allowing themselves to be fooled any longer. The use of "so and so" instead of naming the partner specifically feels intentional, as if the singer is distancing themselves from the person who has hurt them.

The third verse is perhaps the most powerful, as the singer declares that they will no longer tolerate being scorned. They will ignore each and every instance of someone trying to put them down or make them feel small. Finally, the fourth verse speaks to the fact that the singer knows that they cannot compromise with someone who is not willing to listen. They would rather "get high" than continue engaging with someone who doesn't value them.

Overall, "No no no no" is a song that encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and not tolerate being treated poorly in any kind of relationship. Its message of self-respect and empowerment is both timely and timeless, making it a song that will continue to resonate with listeners for years to come.
