New Miserable Experience
Gin Blossoms (1992)
If you had asked me when this album came out, I would have sworn that it was sometime in late 1993 or early 1994, but I would have been wrong. New Miserable Experience from the Gin Blossoms was released on August 4th, 1992 and is turning 30 years old today.
I also would have said it was their debut album, but I would have been wrong again. I've been listening to this CD since I was in the eighth grade and had no idea that it was their third record, and that their first one was released in 1989.
New Miserable Experience didn't hit big at first, but it went multi-platinum not long after Hey Jealousy was released as a single and started getting heavy radio play in late 1993. This was soon followed by Until I Fall Away and Found Out About You.
Gin Blossoms (1992)
I want to tell if I am or am not myselfIt's hard to knowHow far or if at all could goI've waited far too longFor something I forgot was wrong
I don't know all the answersI think that I'll findOr have it within the timeBut it's all that I'll have in mind
Until I fall awayI won't keep you waiting longUntil I fall awayI don't know what to do anymoreUntil I fall away
My fear pretend that I'll never be in love againIt's real to me but not like these foolsAnd not like this sceneI won't find or have it within the time
If it's all rusted and fadeIn the spot where we fellWhere I thought I'd left behindIt's loose now but we could try
Until I fall awayI won't keep you waiting longUntil I fall awayI don't know what to do anymoreUntil I fall away
When there's no good answersAnd no new questionsAnother personal disasterThere's nowhere to go but down
