It was written by bipolar tortured alcoholic doug hopkins about his ex girlfriend Cathy swafford, the sister of an old band mate. He couldn't keep it together during the recording of this album. The band fired him from the band he started and wrote the songs for, made him sign over his royalties for a measly 15,000 that he was already owed because they knew he needed it and went on to make a career playing his songs. He shot himself in the head on December 5th 1993 just as his old band mates were getting famous off of his work. They could never duplicate his talent and every hit they had thereafter (til I hear it from you and follow you down which both, in my opinion, sucked) were written by professional songwriters.

@@rliptak2 it was sad story for Doug Hopkins and he honestly was very talented. Sad the way it ended for him.

Personally as a Brit I can't think why Gin Blossoms didn't go massive in this country. Far closer to REM and Britpop than Grunge which by 94 / 95 was so over on this side of the Atlantic.

Nah Britpop was corny and cheesy. This is American Alternative that got mainstream exposure after grunge
