Gin Blossoms are an alternative rock/power pop band that formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona, United States, known for their melodic yet melancholic sound. The band originally consisted of Robin Wilson (vocals, guitar), Jesse Valenzuela (guitar, vocals), Doug Hopkins (guitar), Bill Leen (bass), and Phillip Rhodes (drums).

The band originally consisted of Robin Wilson (vocals, guitar), Jesse Valenzuela (guitar, vocals), Doug Hopkins (guitar), Bill Leen (bass), and Phillip Rhodes (drums). Shortly after finishing their debut major album, 'New Miserable Experience', the band fired Hopkins (who was also the band's principal songwriter and penned their hits "Found Out About You" and "Hey Jealousy") and replaced him with Scott Johnston.

Released on August 4, 1992, 'New Miserable Experience' proved a sonic contrast to the grunge and aggressive hard rock inspired music in vogue at the time. It became a strong commercial success, reaching the #1 spot on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Aforementioned hits "Found Out About You" and "Hey Jealousy" were top 40 smashes on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, still getting consistent radio airplay as the years went on.

Though blessed with songwriting talent, Hopkins struggled both with addiction and with major depression. Sadly, Hopkins committed suicide in December of 1993. The band continued without him and achieved more major success, their power pop inspired, emotional lyrics becoming a precursor to later adult alternative groups of the late 90s and 00s. Still, they experienced more line-up changes, as Rhodes left the band shortly after their 2002 reunion (returning for a brief period in 2005). Currently the band does not have a permanent drummer.

They took their name from a photo of W.C. Fields which bore the caption "W.C. Fields with gin blossoms," referring to the actor's gin-ravaged nose. The band, who were musically weaned on rock artists such as The Byrds and Tom Petty, released three albums and had several hits in the mid-90s before breaking up in 1997. Five years later in 2002, the band reunited, released a DVD, resumed touring, and promised a fourth album.

Titled 'Major Lodge Victory', the Gin Blossoms' first album in ten years was released on August 8, 2006 on the Hybrid Recordings label. They have done much well-received touring since then. For example, the group joined Everclear, Sugar Ray, Lit and Marcy Playground on the 'Summerland Tour 2012', a 31-date nationwide tour that began on June 28, 2012, in Saratoga, California, and ended on August 11, 2012, in Laughlin, Nevada. The band later released 'No Chocolate Cake' on September 28, 2010; and 'Mixed Reality' on June 15, 2018.

Hey Jealousy
Gin Blossoms Lyrics

Well, 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, I've 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, hey jealousy
Hey jealousy, hey jealousy

You can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
And if you don't 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 hadn't 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

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, hey jealousy
Hey jealousy, hey jealousy

Well, 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 I've 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

Hey jealousy, she took my heart
Well, there's only one thing I couldn't start

I don't care what anyone says, growing up in the 90s was truly the best thing ever. Just enough tech to be fun, but not enough to keep us inside. God I miss being 12 running around all summer singing songs that made no sense at the time.

God this song hits me hard. "All I really want is to be with you, feel like I matter too" "If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down." As someone who has struggled with depression and low self esteem most of my life, it's crazy how much I relate to that. This song is always one of the first I play if I'm feeling down, helps me out in a cathartic way. We all need songs like that.

75 as well!! So nice to connect with people who were 18 when this came out. Stepping into adulthood, but still incredibly young, naive, hopeful but lost and scared. This song like so many other songs of that time was so upbeat that you think it’s about something happy. But in this case it’s about heartbreak and trying to move on from a big loss or f**king up a big piece of your life (which I did around this time).

The older I get, the harder it is to reconnect with that feeling of blissful happiness that came with being a kid.

I think about this song more than I should. It’s not a cry for help, it’s a scream. He’s already lost. And he’s living after the credits stopped rolling. “ if I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago, I’d still be her with you...” no one ever shows what happens to the guys that lose the girl. Lose the war. Lose themselves after the movie ends and the lights go up. This is the last cry, not for help, but for one last good bye before he goes his way forever. Sad. Beautiful. Real.

RedactedRaptor

It not necessarily going back to the 90's but rather the music of the 90's. Nobody can deny the 90's and early 2000's were or at least was a very high peak in music. Sound just isn't quite the same. However, it has not gone away, it's just become harder to find. One thing I like is how some of these old bands are coming out again and bringing this vibe back, or even how some modern artists are starting to branch into it and showing that there is still a deman. One example I can give is MGK. He is mostly a rapper, but I've only known him from his newest album where the drummer from Blink, Travis, now his last name is eluding me, anyways, he produced it and it has that 90's vibe we miss mixed with new age talent. It's a good album and it shows that people still flock to that music and his something to say

TRIBUTE: To DOUG HOPKINS, Gin Blossoms & his lyrics/talent to this song- “Hey Jealousy”
A melancholy, bittersweet song reminiscent of his life, his love & the band. A mega hit & reminder of his success as he tried to overcome his drinking & discord/wedge with his band members. Unfortunately, he took his own life. We honor & give him credit here: time/talent & treasure - may he R.I.P. Thank you Doug for your many contributions as we listen today - 2022.

Probably just getting old, but music seemed so much more meaningful when I was young. Don't get me wrong, there is tons of good (new) music out there today, but perhaps music of our youth stays with us because we are going through such pivotal times in our lives. I was a freshman in HS when this song came out. As the movie line goes "when you grow up, your heart dies" - Breakfast Club.

No hace mucho conocí está canción , me gustó mucho y por el tono de la canción me transporta a esa época de los 90's y me trae nostalgia a pesar de conocerla recién.

I waxing nostalgic on my life in the 90s and how great it really was....but I still wouldn't trade my wife or kid for even just one more day back then. The world is really screwed up right now but music from the 90s will always bring me happiness. Hope this finds you all well.

This has to be one of the most honest and realistic love songs (of sorts) out there. They just don't make them like they used to.

Mid-90s Alternative/Hard Rock here, not hard or heavy enough to be Grunge, but it occupied its very own and important place in a very important decade and era. Great song.

I remember singing this as a duet one morning with the "one who got away" it was her alarm, has always been one of my favorites and reminds me of her everytime I hear it.

Gin Blossoms is one of the bands that gave color to alternative music in the 90s. They are like most high school or college bands in general, with characteristic short melodies and continuing to play, wrapped in rhythmic accompaniment that fills the typical noise of alternative bands. We are grateful that they colored our youth with the colors of music like this. Something we feel as a new nuance, when the music of hair metal bands began to be too common to be heard. Oh, I miss those days. Thanks.

I was 14 too. Awesome time it was

Walter Zimmerman

That's a dumb statement no decade could ever come again. Somewhere people from the 20's are saying you could never have the jazz age again! The hippies from the sixties were saying when has life been better than the sixties we are so close to a revolution. The 70's man revolutions are hard but hey money sex disco and moody sings are great! See it works for any decade. Your statement is not well thought out.

1999, I was 13 and I heard it on the radio. You couldn't google lyrics back then, so I called the radio station to ask what the band was called. I thought the DJ said "Jim Possums" 🤷 but fortunately the record store guy knew what I was talking about.

I'm the same age as you, I remember this in 1994 when it came out on radio, didn't know who recorded it until 2006 at university it came up in the jukebox. There was an Asian guy that did a really good acoustic cover on YouTube of it at the time. It reminds me of Endless Summer 2 even tho it prolly has nothing to do with it. Loving the 90s vibes 😃

This song belongs in every teen drama from the 90s, because this song gives off the ultimate melancholy 90s vibe.
Listening to this as a teen 20+ years ago , when going through some drama thinking life was over, this song captured that mood perfectly.

Such a beautiful song that reminds me so much of my teen years when it first came out. Beautifully epic alternative rock song. Robin’s vocals are gorgeous and the instrumentation kicks ass eternal🤍

One of the deepest songs ever. This singer is singing about regret. He passed up what went well for him, but thought there was a better route. But there was no better option. He sings "hey jealousy" cause he is jealous of what of the fact that someone else could have what he could have had. He can't let go. He tries to plead and pleads by making promises, but the best is to not get one's hopes up, because big promises can't be kept. The past is gone but something might be found to take its place, he hopes to replace the foul mistakes he made. He hopes for a something to start.

This band fascinates me. I hopped on The Goo Goo Dolls bandwagon in the late 90's and never really left. Gin Blossoms influenced and even collabed with them. "We Are The Normal" - The Goo Goo Dolls. The upshot of their synergy.

Can't believe this song is 30 years old. Makes me feel old. But it sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday.

When the Gin Blossoms were popular, they seemed like an okay band. Now that I look back and listen they were an awesome band and 1000x's better than todays music.

Devin Hylton

that's because when they were first breaking, it seemed like a new and ultimately classic band was coming out almost yearly or every six months.. I agree, i feel they got lost in that era.. Now , in contrast to today's garbage, they would and should be considered a legacy act or on the verge of mine... I feel had they had one more classic album they would have been, no question.. They are still awfully good.

They were definitely a softer rock band than what was out then compared to Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, etc. They have only gotten better over the years the more I listen.

@Josh Mischke It's funny how you heard all these songs back then. And the ones you wouldn't think stood the test of time and some of the more popular ones of the time faded away.

You should’ve seen them trying it out at long wongs. I showed my grandkids a band photo I had when we opened for them in Tempe area back in the early 90s. They just laugh and say, ‘Pops, you’re old now. You didn’t have a tummy in that picture!’

When I heard this song for the first time I was a teenager. I was so lost trying to find my self I did a lot of drugs and partied a lot. Now being sober for 8 years and having a family still takes me back to that moment in time.

This song. I suffered from own demons. I treated previous relationships like trash and never changed. Like Doug I wanted to change. When I did it was too late for the one I loved. This song hits.

After 20 tears of being a power metal head... this song inspires me more then you people will ever understand. Galneryus? sure sure... but Gin Blossoms? Ohh yeah!

I listen to so many genres of music but for some reason or another this is my favorite song. I love his beautiful voice and the happy and up beat music - so 90’s, so nostalgic. The lyrics remind me of being carefree and young. I was a 90’s teen. And we can all relate to dealing with jealousy.

Released in the summer of 93. I remember very well because we all got our licenses right around this time, and this song was in heavy rotation as we aimlessly drove around being young and invincible.

There was a surge of good rock and roll for a brief time in the 90s and the Gin Blossoms were part of it.

Going through my soul mate’s things, I found this video on his computer. His favourite band was the Velvet Underground, but this was a song he loved. I think the words are timeless. I miss you, Scott, RIP.
