In just over a decade they have sold over a quarter million albums, toured with U2, Counting Crows, Live, Goo Goo Dolls, plus dozens of other massive artists.

Their first international release, on Curb Records, is set to hit the airwaves and shelves globally towards the end of 2009. Thus far, on April 7, 2009, Curb released an EP featuring “Can I Have More”, “Home” and “Time of Your Life”. On September 8, 2009, “What He Means” was released as a single by Curb Records. “What He Means” was already a number one single in South Africa in 2006.

Art Matthews and Brent Harris are both known to be big fans of English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and have been known to wear the Spurs tops during gigs.

You look to me like someone new
And I wish I could talk to you
But you seem tied up
So I'll leave you to make your mind up
Is it me or you

I like you madly, like you madly
All the same

I like you madly, like you madly
All the same

I want you to take my mind
To some place new perhaps not now
I'm not meant for you perhaps in time
You'll find a way
That I can call you and see you again, yeah

I like you madly, like you madly
All the same
I like you madly, like you madly
All the same

Are you scared to look inside
Are you scared to read my mind
Are you scared of what you'll find
Don't be scared, 'coz I'm alright, I'm alright

I like you madly, like you madly
All the same
I like you madly, like you madly
All the same

You look to me like someone new
And I wish I could talk to you

Overall Meaning

The song “Like You Madly” by Just Jinger is a beautiful expression of someone's unrequited love for another, and the hesitant hope that maybe one day they will be together. The lyrics tell the story of the singer's love for someone, even though they are unsure if those feelings are reciprocated. The chorus hints at their confusion, as they say “Is it me or you”, unsure if it is their own feelings or the other person's that is causing the uncertainty. The verses continue to express the singer's love, wanting to take the other person's mind to a new place and hoping that in time they will find a way to see each other again.

The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer asks if the other person is scared to see what is inside and read their mind. They reassure them that they are “alright”, but it is clear that the singer's vulnerability is a source of fear for them. The repetition of the chorus, sung with such conviction and heart, only emphasizes the depth of feeling that the singer has for this person, despite their uncertainty about the other's reciprocation.

Overall, “Like You Madly” is a bittersweet love song that captures the vulnerability and hope that comes with loving someone who may not feel the same way. The beauty of the melody and the emotional depth of the lyrics make it a timeless expression of unrequited love.

I woke up this morning thinking of this song, remembering when I heard this live back in the late 90's in Brisbane, Australia. I also remember getting an autographed CD, which I can't find... Still a great song ❤
