Family, music and a multicultural perspective were hallmarks of Hinojosa's years growing up in San Antonio, where she began performing as a teen. Alongside the traditional Mexican songs she inherited from her parents, she was inspired by the pop and rock artists she and her older siblings listened to along with the folk revival of the early 1960s. Performing in her hometown as well as doing stints in Taos and Nashville, she eventually landed in the renowned Austin, TX music scene. Her debut album, "Homeland", found Hinojosa weaving all the threads of her musical ethos into a stunning tapestry that immediately put her on the international musical map. With her release, "Culture Swing", Hinojosa won the NAIRD Award for Best Folk Album.
Over the eleven subsequent releases, countless tours of North America and Europe, Hinojosa developed a loving and loyal audience and has explored a wide range of musical expression. Her music and social activism has won her numerous awards and accolades, including recognition by Fox TV's Bravo Honors and a Las Primeras (The Firsts) Award from MANA, the largest organization of Latina women. Hinojosa is frequently asked to appear at events, make cultural contributions and work on behalf of children, bilingual education, civil liberties, immigration, farm workers, multicultural organizations, and other humanitarian causes. Recent examples include: the National Bilingual Educators conference; the National Council of La Raza's conference, including performances at the event recognizing Latinas; the National Latino Children's Agenda, honoring the work of Latino legislators; a Capitol Hill reception publicizing the plight of Latino children during Hispanic Heritage Week, in Washington, DC; the Hispanic Women in Leadership's national conference; local spokesperson, PSA's, and events for Any Baby Can which provides aid to families of children with chronic illness or handicaps; a reception at the MAFO (farm worker organizations coalition) conference. She performed at the Hispanic Gala and at other events at the 1993 inauguration of the President of the United States and for the National Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Conference. Tish was also invited to perform at The White House for President and Mrs. Clinton.

Till You Love Me Again
Tish Hinojosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not waiting in line but I'm saving my kissin'
I'm just letting you know I don't wanna let go
My heart set on one thing till you love me again
Days don't go by I don't think of
Words of love you used to say
You can know other girls but it won't bring you closer
To the place that you've been and you won't find another
My heart's set on one thing till you love me again
I was a fool and I fell in
Now I must wait patiently
You'll find each road that you're taking
Is gonna lead back to me
Till you love me again, till you learn what you're missin'
I'm not waiting in line but I'm saving my kissin'
I'm just letting you know I don't wanna let go
My heart set on one thing till you love me again
In the song "Till You Love Me Again," Tish Hinojosa sings about waiting for someone she loves to come back to her. She refuses to let go and move on until she receives the love and affection that she deserves. She makes it clear that she's not just standing idly by, waiting for him to come back, but she's not actively seeking out anyone new either. She's saving her love for him, waiting for him to realize what he's missing and come back to her.
The lyrics are incredibly powerful and emotional, as she pours her heart out to the person she loves. She acknowledges the hurt and pain that he's caused her, but she's willing to forgive and forget if he's willing to love her in return. The repetition of the lyrics "till you love me again" reinforces her message, and the music amplifies the intensity of her emotions.
This song captures the pain and longing that comes with unrequited love. It's a powerful message that anyone who's ever waited for someone they love can relate to. It's a heartfelt reminder that sometimes, true love requires patience and perseverance.

No matter where life takes you
Is gonna lead back to me
You'll eventually realize that our love was the best thing you ever had and come back to me
