Hey Rob, Since you said the lyrics were going over your head, I put them below. It's about a guy who thought this girl was a girlfriend, but was just playing him and everyone knew that. It's basically just telling her "I found out about you". lyrics below. "All last summer in case you don't recall I was yours and you were mine forget it all Is there a line that I could write That's sad enough to make you cry? And all the lines you wrote to me were lies Months roll past, the love that you struck dead Did you love me only in my head? There were things you said and did to me They seem to come so easily The love I thought I'd won you give for free Whispers at the bus stop Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard I found out about you I found out about you Rumors follow everywhere you go Like when you left and I was last to know Well you're famous now and there's no doubt In all the places you hang out They know your name and they know what you're about Whispers at the bus stop Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard I found out about you I found out about you Street lights blink on through the car window I get the time too often on AM radio Well you know it's all I think about I write your name, drive past your house Your boyfriend's over, I watch your lights go out Whispers at the bus stop Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard I found out about you I found out about you Whispers at the bus stop Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard I found out about you I found out about you I found about you"
I think the actual meaning is hidden. The young girl in the song is having her life destroyed by a vicious rumor being spread by immature school kids, and the protagonist, also an immature kid, is falling for it. It's a tale as old as time.
Another band to check out is Toad the Wet Sprocket, particularly Walk on The Ocean. Different sound but similar vibe, or perhaps similar sound but different vibe.
Yep, even when it's a dance beat. It evokes for me all of those lost weekends, brief friendships, short term love affairs, workplace tensions, familial pressures, and how this music played like a soundtrack throughout.
@@gotham61 He was among a litany of talented singers from the 80's and 90's who ended it. I was pretty gutted when I found out the front man for Big Country ended it as well.
@@marlew6629 Not true. Based on multiple sources, the band chose this name after seeing a picture of early 1900s actor/comedian WC Fields whose nose was notoriously red/swollen from over drinking.
@@marlew6629 it'd definitely about drinking. And nearly every song speaks of the destruction of drinking...the disease that cost guitarist/songwriter Doug Hopkins his band and his life...
I wore this album out as a teenager, it gives me all the nostalgic feels!🥰 You have to listen to “Follow You Down”, “Hey Jealousy”, and “Till I Hear It From You”!
Damn, didn't really how many songs of theirs that I have heard until I saw these titles! Their music really painted my childhood and made it so beautiful. Oh, the feeling of nostalgia that each song brings.
Not sure what Jay could possibly mean about the lyrics "going over his head" - they're pretty straightforward. Dude was in a relationship with a player and got played.
I feel like they just couldnt hear them.. it almost would be good to have lyrics when they listen but i see how that could take away from the auio experience too idk..
I remember a music awards show back then, all the grungers were trying to out rock each other, every band was getting harder and harder, and the Gin Blossoms came out with stools and acoustic guitars and blew the crowd away.
When I was in high school I remember the Gin Blossoms telling tour stories about how grunge fans hated their comparatively poppier sound. They leaned into it at one show and invited the crowd to throw things at them during "Hey Jealousy."
Was visiting my Daughter in Tampa about 12 years ago. We went to Busch Gardens and these guys were doing a free concert there. I had forgotten about all their good songs from the 90’s ! 😁
Gin Blossoms are one of those bands that has such a nostalgic sound in my mind. They take me right back to that era. ‘Til I Hear It From You’ is another song that does that for me.
Female Friday suggestion: Meredith Brooks "Bitch".. sounds horrible, but it's not. Such a great female empowerment song, no apologies.. and Meredith is so 90's in every way.
I absolutely love this song and never get tired of it. The music is fabulous. I love how it transitions from a gentle, easy sound to a rocking, powerful guitar sound, which matches the mood of the lyrics. The singer does the same thing with his voice. Too bad you didn't feel this song, Jay. It is a guy singing about the heartache and pain of betrayal.
Love this band!! Robin Wilson's melancholy singing tone is just so pure, unique, and easy to vibe out to. You almost can't go wrong with ANY Gin Blossoms greats! Too many to name. "Until I Fall Away", "Follow You Down", and "Mrs Rita" would be my next suggestions, but there are so many others! Thanks for doing this one!
OMG YES!!! One of my all time faves. Was just listening to "Only a Memory" I got to see the band live once when I won some tickets from a radio station. I was right on the edge of the stage and Jim Babjak was tossing the occasional guitar pick to eager hands but I kept missing. Finally he stepped forward and slapped one right into my palm. It was a moment😂 I got to have a short meet and greet with the band because of the tickets and they were really nice and personable. A few years later I was at a big house party and a guy wearing sweats was sitting on the couch playing guitar and singing. I was a bit smacked because I kept thinking I knew him but couldn't place him. Finally dawned on me it was Pat Dinizio! 🥳
The Gin Blossoms are one of my favorite 90's band. Mostly alternative mid-tempo songs. React to "Follow You Down" or "Allison road" Thanks. 😎 Also react to another 90's alt band Toad The Wet Sprocket "All I Want".
You'll see a ton of requests for 'Til I Hear It From You, which is a GREAT song. That one was co-written with the great Marshall Crenshaw ("Someday, Someway"). Marshall and Robin Wilson (lead singer of the Gin Blossoms) are currently splitting lead vocal duties in The Smithereens ("A Girl Like You" "Blood & Roses" "Too Much Passion") since their singer, Pat DiNizio, died in 2017. You should definitely listen to The Smithereens and Marshall Crenshaw.
We've seen the Smithereens recently with each singer. Not sure which I like best. Both brought something different. Enjoyed both, but definitely miss Pat. He was the real sound of the Smithereens. Nothing like it.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Marshall Crenshaw was technically my first concert. He opened for Hall & Oates in Phila at the Mann Music Center. His first solo album had just been released. Both acts were really good.
This type of music we called alternative rock. Gin Blossoms, Goo Goo Dolls, The Rembrandts, Collective Soul are all bands I remember fitting in that category.
Yes!!! “Til I hear it from you” is my favorite Gin Blossoms song You should also watch “Empire Records” on the movie channel to get more 90’s music inspiration!
The Gin Blossoms were hired to play a show in June or July of 2013 by a company I was working for in San Diego. It was a pretty cool experience and they sounded great. The company had built a nice outdoor amphitheater and the Blossoms played for employees and families.
Until I Fall Away is more subtle song but one of their best. Found Out About You is a song of lost love blended with the dark pain that is left over. His first love becomes more popular, changes and she's the talk of the school only adding to his pain. This song always churns up my old high school heartache memories.lol
There's an ongoing joke my wife and I have about this song that it should have a cowbell, given it's uncanny resemblance to "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. She downloaded an app with a cowbell, and when you play along with it it fits in perfectly!
Analysis This song lyrics depict a narrative of unrequited love, betrayal, and longing. The speaker reflects on a past relationship where they were deeply invested, but ultimately deceived by their partner. The recurring motif of "whispers at the bus stop" and "nights out in the school yard" suggests a small town setting where rumors spread easily, intensifying the sense of isolation and disillusionment. The lyrics convey a mixture of sadness, bitterness, and obsession as the speaker grapples with the painful realization of their partner's deceit and their own lingering feelings.
I love Gin Blossoms so much! I was fortunate enough to watch them perform live several years ago and they were fantastic! I agree with the commentators suggesting other hit songs by the Gin Blossoms.😊
I absolutely love Gin Blossoms and got to see them twice (the first time they opened for Neil Young and Crazy Horse). Played the heck out of this when it came out.
My wife and I learned of the GB on a vacation in 96 and they are still one of our favourite guitar bands. Always melodic perfection. It's them and the Jayhawks we always come back to.
You guys nailed it. The 90s alternative sound was vary unique! I've always liked this band and song.. always taken the lyrics as he is singing about a fling with a woman who gets around..
Jay, I think you need to try one more of their songs...Til I Hear It From You is one of my all time favorites and has been called by musicologists "the perfect pop song"!
FINALLY!! LOL... They have soooo many great songs!! My fav 90's band!! Great band from Tempe Arizona! My home state and City next to mine.. So I guess I am a little biased lol. But on a sad note.. Douglas Owen Hopkins .. Co Founder of the band.. He was the band's lead guitarist and a principal songwriter. His songs/lyrics are Haunting .. They are about a girl that hurt him (Like this song!).. Hopkins died by suicide on December 5, 1993, after a reported five previous attempts (including one for which he was hospitalized two weeks prior to his death). The following year, This song by Hopkins, "Found Out About You", also reached No.25 on the top 100.So yeah.. if you listen to more songs or re listen to this one.. it will make it more haunting and sad! I hope you do more! They have way better songs! Not all sad btw! lol
@@charlesallen2306 I haven't been to mill ave since 2002.. So I bet! lol.. I remember back in the 90's.. us teenagers would drive to Tempe and just cruise up and down mill ave.. it was the thing to do back then lol
She is really feeling it. She knows how good this song is and it pulled her in. You guys are lucky to have all best music you haven't even heard yet if you never heard this one 😂🎉
I have seen this band three times. The last time this past year. The first song I learned on guitar Found Out About You. I love them and their writing. I have New Miserable Experience on repeat.
That woman at red higher I full figure, not fat nope. No, that she's not scanning either. All right, she's got some cars. I'm remember I back in a Diamant. Body wanted to just smell smell on her pineys
A short-lived band that made it HUGE and somehow made themselves into one of the quintessential sounds of the 90s. To any of us who lived through the decade, you can’t mention the term 90s without one of their songs of Blind Melon playing through our heads. “Hey Jealousy” is their biggest hit.
I’m always happy when you go 90s! But is it possible….you haven’t covered Green Day yet?? May I suggest you start with Basket Case; you’ll have a smile on your faces right from the opening lyrics!
Gen X in full effect Check the time too often On AM radio. You either totally get that line and it's brilliance or the reference is beyond you. Great Band but tragic story
The Gin Blossoms are one of my favorite bands from the 90s! They have so many hits its hard to name just a few. Another 90s banger is Hum - Stars. Thats a definite must review! You'll love it!
I love this band! "Hey Jealousy" is my fave song of theirs! Man, I played it to death back in the day! Jay, lyrics going over your head? Then pull them up on a second monitor! :D
Jay & Amber, you’d like their "Hey Jealousy", "Allison Road" and "Til I Hear It from You"!!
Day Job is another killer tune
Came here to say this. You’ll love all of these!
Agreed!!
Yes! Love “Till I Hear It from You”! 🩵
Those 3 songs are all great suggestions.
“Hey Jealousy” is a classic
Gotta say that I never understood the fascination with that song. It's okay, but it's probably my least favorite song on their debut album.
Killer track by Doug Hopkins. RIP.
Not really.
My favorite👌🏻💗
I love Hey Jealousy and Hold Me Down. HMD doesn’t get the props it should.
Hey Rob, Since you said the lyrics were going over your head, I put them below. It's about a guy who thought this girl was a girlfriend, but was just playing him and everyone knew that. It's basically just telling her "I found out about you". lyrics below.
"All last summer in case you don't recall
I was yours and you were mine forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
That's sad enough to make you cry?
And all the lines you wrote to me were lies
Months roll past, the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?
There were things you said and did to me
They seem to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won you give for free
Whispers at the bus stop
Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Rumors follow everywhere you go
Like when you left and I was last to know
Well you're famous now and there's no doubt
In all the places you hang out
They know your name and they know what you're about
Whispers at the bus stop
Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Street lights blink on through the car window
I get the time too often on AM radio
Well you know it's all I think about
I write your name, drive past your house
Your boyfriend's over, I watch your lights go out
Whispers at the bus stop
Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Whispers at the bus stop
Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
I found about you"
Thank you. I love this song, but they don’t really articulate all of the words, so I’ve only ever caught about half of them.
I think the actual meaning is hidden. The young girl in the song is having her life destroyed by a vicious rumor being spread by immature school kids, and the protagonist, also an immature kid, is falling for it. It's a tale as old as time.
It's about a girl who a guy fell for but she found other guys that were to her better, that is the story as old as time.
Gin Blossoms are a unique band from the 1990s. Till I Hear it From You or Hey Jealousy are great.
So agree!
Oh yeah❤
Agree ‼️
Til I hear from you is my favorite song by them ❤️
Another band to check out is Toad the Wet Sprocket, particularly Walk on The Ocean. Different sound but similar vibe, or perhaps similar sound but different vibe.
I had a mix going today at work and they played a similar band. "Good" by Better Than Ezra.
I thought the same thing! 😅 "Good Intentions" was another good one.
same thought! Also like Somethings Always Wrong
Yes..Toad is awesome! "All I Want", another great one of theirs.
@@McGupMy favorite Better Than Ezra song is "At The Stars".
There's something inherently melancholy about a lot of 90's music, especially from this group, The Wallflowers, The Goo-Goo Dolls and a few others....
Yep, even when it's a dance beat. It evokes for me all of those lost weekends, brief friendships, short term love affairs, workplace tensions, familial pressures, and how this music played like a soundtrack throughout.
Disco 2000 by Pulp is so upbeat, but the lyrics are gloomy
Songwriter and lead singer Doug Hopkins took his own life less than a month after this was released as a single
Toad The Wet Sprocket
@@gotham61 He was among a litany of talented singers from the 80's and 90's who ended it. I was pretty gutted when I found out the front man for Big Country ended it as well.
This song grows on you. The more you hear it, the more you like it.
Same for me.
It was certainly impossible to avoid at the time!
No, that doesn't happen.
This is my all-time favorite song by the Gin Blossoms. So glad the two of you decided to check it out.👍
Mine too. It’s a gut punch song about someone who steps on your heart and you realize they don’t give AF about you.
Mine too, in instant 90's classic!
The phrase ‘gin blossoms’ refers to the red blood vessels that become visible on the noses/cheeks of alcoholics.
Interesting.....
Yes. The red, bulbous nose that's associated with heavy drinkers.
Yes but that's not what the band is named after, it's named after flower.
@@marlew6629 Not true. Based on multiple sources, the band chose this name after seeing a picture of early 1900s actor/comedian WC Fields whose nose was notoriously red/swollen from over drinking.

Gin Blossoms had several good songs. My personal favorite is "Until I Fall Away".

It's a paint by numbers sad breakup song...the lines are fantastic, but really obvious
I feel like they just couldnt hear them.. it almost would be good to have lyrics when they listen but i see how that could take away from the auio experience too idk..
This entire album New Miserable Experience is a vibe.
Absolutely! RIP Doug Hopkins ❤️

Cut out of the same piece of cloth is "Toad the Wet Sprocket": All I want, Walk on the Ocean, Somethings always wrong and a whole lot more.
Big Head Todd and the Monsters - Bittersweet!
They did a version of Rock and Roll All Nite, by Kiss, that is completely different from the original version.
All I want is so beautiful 😍 Both songs are great!
Was visiting my Daughter in Tampa about 12 years ago. We went to Busch Gardens and these guys were doing a free concert there. I had forgotten about all their good songs from the 90’s ! 😁

That whole album slaps.
yes it does!!!!
It's one of my favorite albums,every song is great.
Classic alternative lowkey 90s band. I echo someone else’s suggestion of Toad the Wet Sprocket, and “Flood” by Jars of Clay - great song!!
Yes! Somethings Always Wrong by Toad The Wet Sprocket & Flood by Jars of Clay are two great 90s songs
"Flood" is a great one!!!
Female Friday suggestion: Meredith Brooks "Bitch".. sounds horrible, but it's not. Such a great female empowerment song, no apologies.. and Meredith is so 90's in every way.
Great song.
Spoiler alert: It is awful.
Just kidding. I never heard it, probably because you are right and it sounds awful.

Analysis
This song lyrics depict a narrative of unrequited love, betrayal, and longing. The speaker reflects on a past relationship where they were deeply invested, but ultimately deceived by their partner. The recurring motif of "whispers at the bus stop" and "nights out in the school yard" suggests a small town setting where rumors spread easily, intensifying the sense of isolation and disillusionment. The lyrics convey a mixture of sadness, bitterness, and obsession as the speaker grapples with the painful realization of their partner's deceit and their own lingering feelings.
I love Gin Blossoms so much! I was fortunate enough to watch them perform live several years ago and they were fantastic! I agree with the commentators suggesting other hit songs by the Gin Blossoms.😊
Takes me back to one of the best times of my life. I played this song over and over. Great song by an awesome group.
This was such a cool song...blast from the past!
I loved this song so much as a teenager.. I feel like it’s a forgotten/overlooked gem
I absolutely love Gin Blossoms and got to see them twice (the first time they opened for Neil Young and Crazy Horse). Played the heck out of this when it came out.
That album "New Miserable Experience" was on the charts for over a year and churned out hit after hit. It's now become a classic.
So glad you hit up the Gin Blossoms! Lost Horizons is my absolute favorite song by them. There’s a sad story behind it, but wow is it good.
Love the Gin Blossoms! Thanks for reacting to them!! So great!
My wife and I learned of the GB on a vacation in 96 and they are still one of our favourite guitar bands. Always melodic perfection. It's them and the Jayhawks we always come back to.

Great group. Saw them jn Tempe Az on Mill Avenue before they hit big. This song was a banger live. Gotta also check out Hey Jealousy by them as well!
The singer guest tours with the Smithereens quite often. Should play a song by them, “Behind the Wall of Sleep or A Girl Like You”
I'm surprised people recommended this song first. Hey Jealousy was their big smash hit, should've listened to that song first.
Love The Gin Blossoms! ❤️❤️ Great power pop
First album is a true gem - so many great tunes to explore on this one - keep ‘em coming!
Still can't believe yall ain't done:
311 - 'Amber'... For ya girl Amber!
More BUSH too, now that ya mentioned em.
Another vote for Hey Jealousy! One of my top 5 songs of the decade!
She is really feeling it. She knows how good this song is and it pulled her in. You guys are lucky to have all best music you haven't even heard yet if you never heard this one 😂🎉
This is my favorite Gin Blossoms song (homeboys from Tempe, AZ), although their first hit was "Hey Jealousy". "Follow You Down" was another big one.
Love this tune.
One of my favorite songs from the 90s!. Glad you finally got to this one!
I have seen this band three times. The last time this past year. The first song I learned on guitar Found Out About You. I love them and their writing. I have New Miserable Experience on repeat.

I’m always happy when you go 90s! But is it possible….you haven’t covered Green Day yet?? May I suggest you start with Basket Case; you’ll have a smile on your faces right from the opening lyrics!
A ton of reactors have failed to cover 90's Green Day, and I am sad.
They are blocked from utube for fiscal reasons
Great ❤️to see more G D🎸🇺🇸
My Tempe, AZ band. Used to see them locally. Love this group and I'm not a big 90's guy, give me the 70's all day
Until I fall away, Hey Jealousy, Follow you Down, Allison Road, Mrs. Rita, Lost Horizons, 29, Not Only Numb. Tons of songs that are great.
29!
Gen X in full effect
Check the time too often
On AM radio.
You either totally get that line and it's brilliance or the reference is beyond you.
Great Band but tragic story
First album I ever bought and still wear it out to this day. One of the best night time driving albums ever
I was just listening to this today for the first time in awhile. Small world.
You have to listen to entire albums. The album this song is from is one of my all time favorites.
I love this song by them. You'll probably like "Follow you down" more. That one is also great.
I'm with the ppl, 'hey jealousy' is definitely #1 gin blossoms tune.
Classic. I love this sound
About time you did some Gin Blossoms. Now do Until I Fall Away.
I am so happy to be clicking on this. Nostalgia! 💜💜💜 gin blossoms always speak to me
The Gin Blossoms are one of my favorite bands from the 90s! They have so many hits its hard to name just a few. Another 90s banger is Hum - Stars. Thats a definite must review! You'll love it!
One of my favorite 90's bands, and this may be my favorite song by them. I recommend Until I Fall Away, and Hey Jealousy.
I love this band! "Hey Jealousy" is my fave song of theirs! Man, I played it to death back in the day! Jay, lyrics going over your head? Then pull them up on a second monitor! :D
Such a great, underrated band
