“It’s real to me… not like these fools and not like this scene” Favorite lyric from an entire album filled with great lyrics.

He definitely felt some feelings. I love that line, too...I mean damn, the whole song is poetic.

God, his voice is amazing live. Never heard anyone else sound like he does.

Graceful, epic and hanuting. One of the most beautiful songs ever.

I remember them not wanting to be what they were, a great power pop band. I really liked them and still do

Jackson Brown quality song writing. Very underated band. I really miss the 90"s.

Robin Wilson has a mesmerizing voice and he sounds great singing live - wow. The first time I heard this song, I was stunned by its beauty, and by his unique voice. Thanks for posting this!

And he wasn't even supposed to be the singer. What's cool about his voice is that it's kind of Karaoke without sounding Karaoke. It's like some dude you hear at a bar singing Karaoke and you're like, "Hey, that guy singing Karaoke actually sounds pretty damn good."

You know, that’s very true!

Robin Wilson is a great singer. Really a tenor, hanging out in the baritone world. Him & Valenzuela were great. Doug Hopkins would be proud. Nobody got more mileage out of one great album. Everyone loves New Miserable Expensive. Thanks Jesse & Robin for still doing it!

I agree. I loved his voice and their music. A great alternative to all the grunge vocalists who were dominating at the time. I did like both though lol.

Saw them live the other night 8/20/22 still sounded amazing. Such a good show

Yeah, they've held up well over the years, can still deliver. A hard-working band.

this is back when bands still sounded great live.

A good song and one of many from the Gin Blossoms. Its strange, though - I find that usually when I visit a Gin Blossom's song on youtube, the comments section is usually crammed to bursting point with overwhelming nostalgia. 'Those were the days', 'reminds me of my youth', '90s music was so much better' etc. Compared to the comments section of other 90s bands videos (Pearl Jam's for example) where there is considerably less pining for days gone by. Why is that? Perhaps it is because the Gin Blossoms music has a wistful, melancholic sound which pleases people of a certain temperament, disposition, or personality type who are predisposed to melancholy and nostalgia. Personally, I think the freshness of the songs and the crisp production of the studio versions allows them to translate well into the present day. I think they are quite vital and should be enjoyed in the present, not purely as a memory. I feel that it's good to see less depressing nostalgia here.

+boris4626 Not sure about all of that, but I do find a certain degree of nostalgia in their music, although some with Pearl Jam as well, but not as much. It's a matter of timing, I think, but at a certain time, this music really spoke to me. Not even so much in lyric as just in "sounding" right. Soul Asylum was another one, and although I scarcely agree with either of their messages, I love the music. Go figure.

+boris4626 I think it might be because bands like Pearl Jam are constantly getting played on the radio, as well as the fact that the band continuously created new music for 20+ years. The Gin Blossoms got mad play in the '90s, and then radio largely forgot about them.

The last concert we went to pre-pandemic. February 2020 Lots of room to dance by the stage. Loved it!!

Sept 2022 still listening to this beautiful song.. am i the only one mesmerize by his face while singing??my all time fav song and band❤️ loveyou Robin Wilson

My fav band in the 90's and until now....love their music!!

I love their guitars as well as the vocals. I still have this CD!

reminds me of old days...great band

Always such a strong and beautiful voice.

I want to tell if I am or am not myself It's hard to know How far or if at all could go I've waited far too long For something I forgot was wrong I don't know all the answers I think that I'll find Or have it within the time But it's all that I'll have in mind Until I fall away I won't keep you waiting long Until I fall away I don't know what to do anymore Until I fall away My fear pretend that I'll never be in love again It's real to me but not like these fools And not like this scene I won't find or have it within the time If it's all rusted and fade In the spot where we fell Where I thought I'd left behind It's loose now but we could try Until I fall away I won't keep you waiting long Until I fall away I don't know what to do anymore Until I fall away When there's no good answers And no new questions Another personal disaster There's nowhere to go but down

My favorite Gin Blossoms song. I forgot this song even existed for a long time because not long after it was released it just disappeared off radio stations, at least in my area. If not for me going down a rabbit hole of nostalgia on YT a few years back I might never have found it again.

gives me chills in a good way💯😎

this is a great song

His voice is so calming

wow.... live or studio he has a great voice....damn.

I loved this band. Brings me back to my youth days in the 90s. If you watch some of there recent concerts. you can tell his voice started to change. its much more squeakier.

I love this song a favorite of theirs but I think it sounds better slow paced.

Didn't know until just now that they were at Farm Aid! Cool! Of course, this was when they were just breaking. I've seen them 4 times, but fun to see Robin with long hair. Bill Leen always has the same look and movements. Great band!
