Gin Blossoms

Another of those bands that I haven’t listened to enough. I now have their two major label albums(I found New Miserable Experience today for $3.00) and they are both so great. Definitly under-rated albums, IMO. It’s funny how I don’t remember how many songs by a band I love until I actually buy their CD’s and hear them again. “Hey Jealousy” and “Until I Fall Away” from NME and “Follow You Down” and “Til I Hear It From You” from CONGRATULATIONS, I’M SORRY are songs I have always enjoyed, but the albums are just as good, only less catchy. I’m really looking forward to see what the reunited band produces in the next couple years.

FOLLOW YOU DOWN (4:30)
(Scott Johnson, Bill Leen, Phillip Rhodes, Jesse Valenzuela, Robin Wilson)

Did you see the sky
I think it means that we’ve been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I can’t really help it if my tongue’s all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, it’s just the farthest that I’ve ever been
Anywhere you go, I’ll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I’ll follow you down
I’ll follow you down, but not that far
I know we’re headed somewhere, I can see how far we’ve come
But still I can’t remember anything
Let’s not do the wrong thing and I’ll swear it might be fun
It’s a long way down when all the knots we’ve tied have come undone
Anywhere you go, I’ll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I’ll follow you down
I’ll follow you down, but not that far
How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell now, we’ve already been forever damned
Anywhere you go I’ll follow you down…

  1. Gin Blossoms are awesome…I have their “best of” CD somewhere amid my CD collection but I haven’t listened to it in the longest time. I’m just like you…I don’t realize how much I like a song until I hear it again. I will sometimes search through my CDs specifically to find ones I haven’t heard in awhile just to catch up =)
