Hey Jealousy by Gin Blossoms

I was deciding on what to Gin Blossoms song to put here first then i came across my multiply post about acquiring New Miserable Experience... and it quoted some lines (in bold) from Hey Jealousy which i guess fits the overall feeling i have up til now.

The band I play with in the office also covers this song and we usually start off the band practice with this.

Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway Ive got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy

And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you dont expect too much from me
You might not be let down

Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy

She took my heart
Theres only one thing I couldnt start

Highwire by Gin Blossoms

This is not one of Gin Blossom's famous songs. I was listening to the Congratulations... I'm Sorry album when my liking for this song just flashed! The intro had a great combination of drum fills, guitar riffs and nicely timed bass presence.

The song is simply laid out though honestly i can't figure what this song's all about, but it's really rocking and would like to play this song with a band sometime!

I wanna take you so far
But they don't want to let us out
But they do, they do, they do

I don't wanna walk on that highwire
They ain't gonna let us down
But they do, they do, they do

What I could never believe in
I was never really even
And I forgot about the cost
And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost

Didn't really wanna live it over
Or even wanna live it down
But I do, I do, I do

What I could never believe in
I was never really even
And I forgot about the cost
And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost

Didn't really wanna live it over
Or even wanna live it down
But I do, I do, I do...

As Long As It Matters by Gin Blossoms

This was the 1st Gin Blossoms song that I became familiar with. My 2nd brother, Ryan, was the one who got me into this song. When Ryan liked a song, he listened to that song a lot, as in repeatedly. He initially saw this from MTV.

What makes this song special is this is one song that I tried to sing to a girl during a HS graduation party that one of my classmates had. I sang this with a guitar that i don't even know was tuned... this was supposed to be our love song this was my song for her. Too bad, as i learned after that summer, the feeling was not mutual.

How can I find something
That two can take
Without stumbling as we
Walk into our future's wake

I'm like a broken record
That you can play
Repeating as if it matters
Everything I want to say

I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now

Forget that time
It's nothing we touch and see
All this is fine
Even as it crashes down on me

I'm looking around
There's nothing that I could want
More than to tell you
There's no more than we've already got

I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now...

Forget that our time is almost up

I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now...
