The band started doing the live circuit, and released three studio albums in quick succession on independent label Salad Records - "The Winds of Change" (1991), "World of Wonder" (1993), "...and All the King's Men" (1994).
They have established themselves as a decent live and studio act, and gained lots of attention by playing with many different acts. This led to the band being offered a record deal by progressive rock specialist label Cyclops Records, and that Mark Kelly of Marillion offered to produce their fourth studio album, "The Myth of Independence", released in 1995.
1998 saw the release of "Living in a Promised Land", and one year later the live album "The Freedom Train" was issued. Bass player Hugh Gascoyne left the band and was replaced by Andy Faulkner.

Pete Davies left the band and Steve 'Ronnie' Rundle took over the string duties. At the same time the band left Cyclops Records, all future productions by this outfit now being issued by Den-Tel Records.
The studio productions "A Man Was Made" saw the light in 2004, "Faithful Faithless" saw the light in 2005, and in 2006 it was time for the band's second live album "Something of the Night".
2008 saw the release of an EP with 3 new compositions, named "The New EP", and several live shows as a full band or acoustic trio were scheduled throughout the year.
In the almost twenty years this outfit have existed, they have done more than 1000 live shows, have opened for a plethora of acts in the British prog and rock scene, and have also introduced their own audience to up and coming acts which later have achieved critical or commercial success; such as Karnataka, Mostly Autumn, Dead Like Harry, White Buffalo, Lorien, S.A.D., ...
2. Originally called Jump, Little Children, Jump changed their name before their final full release "Between the Dim and the Dark" in 2004. Most of the band's fans referred to the group simply as "Jump" and the band decided to embrace the name.

I won't let you go
Not to Detroit City
Not to Chicago.
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Not to Mississippi
But if you're gonna leave
I'm asking you to please
Go all the way
To Mexico.
I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave
Not with all my Django
Emmy Lou and Steve.
I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave
Not with my revival
Tucked down in the sleeve.
But if you're going to go
Take the ones you gave to me
All the way
To Mexico.
All the way to the shore of California Bay
And I'll be fine
'Cause I have taken you back for the last time.
And I won't set you free
I won't set you free
Not to say it's over
Come right back to me.
But if you're gonna go
I'm giving you the key
But only if you'll go
To Mexico.
All the way to the shore of California Bay
And I'll be fine
'Cause I have taken you back for the last time.
All the way to the shore of California Bay
And I'll be fine
'Cause I have taken you back for the last time.
So if you're gonna go baby won't you please go all the way to Mexico
All the way to Mexico
In Jump Little Children's song "Mexico," the singer is expressing his reluctance to let go of his love interest. He is opposed to her leaving for cities such as Detroit, Chicago, Mississippi, or Tupelo but is willing to let her go to Mexico. However, the singer is not entirely free of his reservations as he stipulates that she should take all the things she gave him on her way out. The song expresses the singer's fear of being left alone and his desperate effort to cling to the only thing he has left, which is his love interest.
The lyrics to "Mexico" showcase themes of regret, fear of loneliness, and a desire to hold on to what's left. The singer's desperate pleas of holding onto his love interest and not letting her go are indicative of his fear of being left alone. However, he is willing to let go if she were to go to Mexico since that's the only place he feels comfortable letting her go. This song's message oftentimes resonates with people who have been in similar situations of not wanting to let go of someone they love.
