He was born in Nottingham to musical parents who separated when he was young. His father, David Bugg, was a nurse and his mother worked in sales, both parents having previously made recordings. He grew up in the Clifton council estate of Nottingham and started playing guitar at the age of 12 after being introduced to the instrument by his uncle Mark. He attended Farnborough School Technology College in Clifton. He has described a formative musical moment when, aged 12, he heard Don McLean's "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)" on an episode of The Simpsons. He was enrolled in a music technology course but, by the age of 16, he had dropped out and was writing and performing his own songs.
Me and You
Jake Bugg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We both should believe the path that we chose
And I'll hold you with such delicacy
No they won't catch you and me
It's all over all of the time
And if you want to I won't mind
Please don't leave it
No they won't catch me and you
There are too many flashes and guards around me
There is so little time and places to see
And we can wait so patiently
No, they won't catch you and me
It's all over all of the time
And if you want to I won't mind
Please don't leave it
I don't know what to do
No they won't catch me and
All of these people want us to fail
I won't let that happen no
Just you believe me
I'll hide you discreetly
Discreetly from this cold world
It's all over all of the time
And if you want to, I won't mind
Please don't leave it
I don't know what to do
No they won't catch me and you
No they won't catch me and you
No they won't catch me and you
In "Me and You," Jake Bugg sings about feeling like everyone is watching and following him and his partner wherever they go. Despite this, the two should trust their chosen path and hold onto each other delicately. Bugg reassures his partner that they won't be caught by these people who want them to fail. He promises to hide his partner discreetly from the cold world and keep them safe.
The song seems to be about the pressures that come with fame and success, and how it can strain relationships. Bugg may be addressing the public scrutiny and speculation that come with celebrity couples. He offers a message of reassurance to his partner, telling them that they can make it work despite the world's watchful eye.
The song's repetitive chorus of "It's all over all of the time" creates a sense of inevitability in the situation. Bugg seems resigned to the fact that they can't escape the attention and judgment of others, but he refuses to let that bring down his relationship. The delicate guitar melody and Bugg's soft-spoken vocals lend a gentle, intimate quality to the song.

It's a shame artists like Jake Bugg and other crazy talented musicians do not get the acclaim they deserve. Jake Bugg is a day younger than Justin Bieber, but possesses a talent hundred times bigger than him and One Direction together.

Jake's popularity is growing. It's taking longer because he didn't get a jump start from Simon Cowell or Usher as did 1D or JB.
