God I miss the 90’s...... no cell phones...... no gps...... no social media .........no rules...... just a bunch of kids with a car and a full tank of gas........ and the best music 🤘🤘
@@joseibarra87 I went through the late 60's, and all through the 70's, 80's, 90's, and I can remember Beatles, Reinassance, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Yes, Genesis, The Smiths, U2, Iron Maiden, Rush, Jean Luc Ponty, Supertramp, Eric Clapton, Steve Ray Vaughn, Kansas, Eagles, Toad the Wt Sprocket, Gin Blossons, Marillion, Sugar Cubes, Bjork, Neil Young, Dire Staits, and a bunch of very good stuff... And ehat we got now : Selena Gomes ? Ariana Grande, Lady "barfbag" gaga ? Bye bye Miss american pie... The day the Music died.
And the lyrics are just so on point. Such a fantastic melody. Same back beat as Smashing Pumpkin 1979, I know that at least. Haha. I love playing this song acoustic but using barre chords. It's one of the few songs (other being STP - Creep) that my voice actually works really well for.
This is one of the rare songs where the lyrics are extensively deep in relation to the original sound. A few years back A-Ha stripped down 'take on me' to truly give the song a whole new meaning. The Gin Blossoms could do it with this one. A true testament to the emotional connection the late, great Doug Hopkins had to the songs lyrics vs the musical sound of GB. You can definitely understand that he lived these lyrics. It's too bad he wasn't able to see the final culmination of the Gin Blossoms longterm success, then again he might have not wanted to with the major label signing. As much as I love the all around talent of the Gin Blossoms the dropoff in terms of songwriting depth after NME was and is still evident to this day.
@@ET-df2xz I like the way you viewed it houpkins really lived these lyrics the story behind this song is not something imaginary but it's about his life's. This song success must have been terrible for houpkin because it was too personal
Rip doug hopkins....sounds great his voice didn't get old... love this man's voice I'm still in love with this song! New miserable experience by Gin Blossoms is one of the most beautiful albums ever written
I got the same cassette but I now cruise in my 1992 Z28 with my slacker account on my smart phone lol. Times have change but this song still remains the same.....CLASSIC both song now my Camaro.
I was born in 93 and I fucking genuinely love 90's music. I really wish I could say I was 16 in the 90's. Fuck that'd be great. Truly some of the best music in my opinion.
Same Summer of '93 I was on my sailboat doing maintenance at the dock when their first hit "Found Out About You" came on the radio playing in the background. I hadn't really listened to anything played that day, until "the" song came on. Electrifying, it seemed the song was written specifically for whoever listened to it! I compared the experience with the first time I heard the Beatles in 1964; it was like a magic no words are available to explain (yep, I'm that old --- so will you be in time).
I'm a 90's child. Born 1991. I discovered this some time in the 2000's. Today is the eve of my 29th birthday and this is still my favorite song. Thank you Blossoms!
went to las vegas in 2017 for business checked out who was playing while i was there , to my surprise gin blossoms . i went great show...like all of us some tuff laps around life makes us more aware of our gifts. they were spot on in concert. loved it
SpeedyC362 I’ve been thinking since this song came out in the early 90’s that he said “Past is gone...” Some 25+ years later I know the truth! Gotta say though, past is gone works too. I may stick with that.
Out of the depths of alcoholism, full of self-pity and horror, we get this beautiful ballad. Lots of us out here listening know precisely how this feels, and are now living on the other side of the abyss. Douglas didn't make it across.
In '93 I had just moved to Atlanta. It was the first time I had been away from home, working full time and driving my first car. I told my boyfriend that I had to work that night and I told my boss I was going to visit my parents. I bought a ticket to see Gin Blossoms and went to the show by myself. Collective Soul was the opener. It was a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend anyone to give it a try. Especially in a town that you know not a single soul knows you. Go alone and dance and hop and scream (within legal parameters lol). Best recharge of the batteries ever! Edit: Wow...they're touring together again!
@@JorshWarshington1 after he fucked them over himself. If you literally can't be professional, why be in a professional band? But he had depression, he's forgiven. The past is gone, let peace take its place.
Holy crap, never realized what a shite deal he got from all of this, had to do some reading. The guy had some serious problems and his friends seem to have abandoned him. A band is more akin to a family more than anything. Such sadness in his story.
In the all-time favorites for me. This was the first song I remember my uncle teaching me the words to when I was little. Miss him so much, it’s moments like this stumbling upon history that makes me realize we can still hear the people we’ve lost if we’re listening. ❤ love to anybody going thru it.
I was born Into the world in 80.. I love the 80s because it was the sound of my young growing up days, and I love all the 80s especially the rock, and metal, yet having my teen years in the 90s I didn't realize how great this stuff really was. Tho I loved it none the less. Now it has a huge nostalgic value to me. My first love, drink, cig, dip, bud, road trip, bon fires etc, etc, etc as Yule Brenner said in the king and I (All the darn Time) Lollllll.. Growing up in A Village in Northern Michigan we had about 16 designated Named party spots out around the river's, lake's, and the best Two Tracks in the upper Midwest 😮.. Tears can creep up when I hear these song's. We used to talk about how great the 80s were, but now we also rate out 90s experience with a little more enthusiastic heart felt love.. I had real friend's back then. Now I'm in Colorado, and long to go back, and live the rest of this pilgrimage out back where it all Started. A little less reckless of course. I miss you FIFE LAKE , MICHIGAN. Our little Village also had a gnarly AZZ Arcade😢.. Lol Enjoy it while you can if it's good!
never gets old. 90's alternative all the way! underrated..... omg i love his voice!!!! New miserable experience by Gin Blossoms is one of the most beautiful albums ever written
They've written such great songs: terrific hooks, melodies, harmonies, seemingly simple lyrics that are very deep. Musical soundtrack for young adults, not avoiding maturity.
I'm digging these acoustic recordings. Wonder if MTV will consider doing an unplugged session featuring non other than the GIN BLOSSOMS! That would be totally out of this world.
This is so awesome (New Miserable Experience and Counting Crows Debut are truly 1990's Soundtracks) Both Albums are timeless and share a special place in a lot of Children of the 80's and 90's Hearts
Man this performance gets all of my Kudos.. and what a great surprise to see that all these years later they are still rockin hard and on point!! Such a good memory of them in my childhood and I'm glad they're all still around and makin the world a better place with their music!!
Arrived hours ahead of time to get front and center spot when they played Bele Chere in Asheville in '08. Worth every second. There are no words to express the energy they draw out live. Soundtrack of my adolesence and rocky entrance into adulthood!
The first song I played on stage in the first paying gig I had with my first cover band in college ... early 1990-something. It stayed on the set list for over 5 years.
Everybody has a story. Mine is, back in 1994 in C... Okla, I was 2 yrs out of HS and my brother just grad. I was at the carwash on main and Charles pulled up while I was talking to my bro and Jamie and Andrea. Charles had this song blaring from his truck stereo. Time never forgets
I was like 13 when I heard this song like in the early 90’s! Wow, it has never gotten old. The song has time captured someone’s soul in its entire honest state. I think this is what Mede me fall in love with it! Good music won’t ever die.
its 10/23/12 and today at work pandora played this song on Goo Goo Dolls radio...I have never been more proud of my Pandora. I had forgotten all about this song. Thank you pandora for bringing this back into my life. :D
I was around 12-13 when this album came out and my father had bought it. I played it over and over again for months. Amazing how good his voice still sounds and hasn’t deteriorated with age 👍
I remember staying up all night to finish our Programming Thesis back in college. Gin Blossoms where one of my main playlist in WINAMP. Damn.. Those where the days...
@@scottie3264 Referring to band..not song. But ok..no it wasnt. Sure it got plenty air play but ask 10 ppl if they know who Gin Blossoms are? Who says Gin Blossoms OR the song when talkin about this time period? Nobody man. I stick with my comment. I bid adue fine sir.
Way back when I graduated in high school 1993 bought a gin blossom cassette tape...fast forward right now 2020 I still have that cassette tape...damm I’m old lol

The acoustic version highlights the beauty and charm of the melody. A well crafted gem.

His voice aged like a fine wine. Very nice.
I hope this guy got his due as one of the best Rock N' Roll vocalists of all time.
Everytime i hear any of Gin Blossoms songs i recall my 90s childhood, places, foods, events, tv shows, feels goods
doubler de guzman me 2 I was only 6 when this came out but it does the same for me😁
Empire Records
Will Adams It’s always Rex Manning Day in my mind......
Me too.
What a great time to be a kid.
More simpler times were the best.
This song just hits different. Such a joy to hear it. So lovely in acoustic.
Totally!! 💯

I remember buying the cassette tape summer 1993, I was 16. My friend Jason and I would cruise in his 1984 Camaro listening to this song. GREAT times!
thanks for sharing, made me smile

***** One of my favorite lines ever.
i agree
words to live by... both ways
One of the best lyrics ever
Got me down pat...
Still has the legendary voice. It is so distinct that you will surely know it in just one note!
DOUG HOPKINS absolute GENIUS
omg i love his voice!!!!
never gets old. 90's alternative all the way!
love this man's voice
his voice didn't get old...
my thought just the same..
But he def did
Nicky Robinson what a hater I hope time is good to you jerk
Saw them live a few years ago. He was drunk and voice was shot. Sounded like Cartman from South Park singing.
Al Cabins new vocals?
That x103.9 overdub creeped me the fuck out
Annoyed me. The same way I suppose it would if a ceremony was interrupted by some obnoxious db's.
Doug would be proud of this timeless classic
Be better if he was still w us

This music was release just 2 years after I was born, and yet as if I am one of those from that generation. Thank you for this song Gin Blossoms.
Blooms nobody can that song like u thumbs up
Amazing how we got old so fast...damn!
You know the 90s were +20yrs ago, right?
This song was released in 1989. That's *thirty* years ago.
I'd like to know what you consider slow.
Marta Browne this song is timeless
One of my favorite driving tunes. It sounds greatest when you're traveling in a car :)
gdamn. my 90's exp. i miss that time. really.

This my most favorite song from them and this version feels more better on my ears.
gin blossoms songs always reminds me about how good it is livin in 90s
90s Alternative Music is timeless.
Takes me back to the 90s like no other song.
I can't tear myself away from this version. Jesus, it's so good.
Ahhhh..... the high school days.... long gone but not forgotten
Takes me back, moves me forward 😀😀
like a fine wine, this song gets better with the passage of time...
