The songs even sound like nostalgia
At a time in my life when the grocery store’s overhead PA system was my lifeline, Gin Blossoms were my alt-rock radio saviors — raining down hard truths about lust masquerading as love as I sat on a milk crate, turning cans so all the labels faced the same direction, always English side out.
It’s easy to bury a band like Gin Blossoms in the sands of nostalgia, but what we’re really burying are the memories of our lives when they were free to be chaotic. Hits like “Follow You Down” and “‘Til I Hear It From You” were less traditional love songs than explorations of love as a concept we still had time to ruin for ourselves.
Their lyrics weren’t about love everlasting, the thing you grasp on to so tightly you’re worried you might crush it. Where Hootie and the Blowfish sang that they only wanted to be with you, Gin Blossoms held fewer pretenses about the durability of love. Their music provided a glimpse into a world where things needn’t be that precious.
