this song definitely takes me back to the 90s....when I was a teen and nothing made sense. oh what i would give to go back to those days prior to careers, bills, and bullshit of the 21st century.
although I am not really one to talk since this song came out when I was wat.. four? damn do I feel out of place. But there is something about the 90's that even then I can recollect from my baby memory. The whole feeling of that time was different in a such a good, raw, relaxing way, that makes me want to go back. Oh well, gotta make the best of the 2000s some how.
dude, i totally agree with you. This song came out when I was 12 and I really do associate that time with long summers, relaxed memories, times of just waiting around to grow up but at the same time, staying just the same, in stasis. Nowadays, I feel that I cant wait for tomorrow because I have whatever life plans in mind to put into action but back then, I felt that all us kids in the 90s just had the earth as our playground where we could just listen to great 90s music all day and laze around
I think that's the best way anybody has ever put the atmosphere of the 90's into words besides the music from that decade. It's reassuring to know I am not the only one who felt that way.. especially since i was a youngster at the time. those feelings could have just been the naivety of an ignorant child, but now I am starting to think the world changed in more ways than one...around the time of 9/11.
When I was a kid in the 90s, I would see stuff on the news about the Gulf War (I lived there), the Bosnia crisis and violence in Pakistan and to me, it seemed so far away. But I agree with you that around 2001, all the crazy stuff in the world just caught up to me and confronted me with the sheer horror that sometimes becomes human existence. I really became super-thankful of whatever 90s childhood I had after that. Fortunately, I can go back there for 3-4 minutes when I listen to 90s music now
My dad was in the military at the time and was never really home with the family, but I was so young that I thought it was normal. I think my whole 90's bubble burst when the 9/11 attack occurred and truely realized the danger he was in when he was not home. Maybe, for the first time, I got a look at how ugly the world can be. In a way, I would rather not walk around with some happy cloud surrounding me and be unaware of the monstrocities that the whole world is being put through.
90's were the best when it comes to everything. not just music but the movies , tv shows , entertainments , the aura , the environment and especially the people around you. i miss tose times. i was only like 4 or 5 when this song came out and now im 18 but i still prefer my childhood days because of these beautiful things.. =)
m really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much!

I think his voice is too perfect...The song is so smooth, and easy to listen to, that it can be over before you realize how deep and bad-ass it was. Always the PLAY button again, I guess. Later folks, best to all Gin fans!
One of my credit card companies just sent me a letter that they were going to balloon our interest rate. My wife was near tears, so I queued up this song and dance to it with her. When she listened to the words, she started tearing up again.
I wen tto there concert and Robin told everyone about how he wrote this he said Him and Jesse wrote it over the phone cuz Jesse interupted him watching sat. morning cartoons! They put on a great show! Go see em
Perhaps the greatest song of Gin Blossoms after Hopkins passed away. I really love their songs. I've just made a video for "Competition Smile". The first vid of the song here in youtube, though the video somehow sucks.
By the way, Phillip Rhodes, who played on both New Miserable Experience and Congratulations I'm Sorry was a kick ass drummer on both albums! I really miss his style. Very unique and didnt miss a beat!! A true class of his own....
Congratulations I'm Sorry...was the BEST album from GB. Every song has it's own special style. I really wish GB made a video for the song "Competition Smile" - one of my personal favorites...
Yeah I agree. I wish CIS was still in print so it would be easier to get the CD for the Gin Blossoms fans who dont already have it. I cant wait to see them live again this summer. When they come to my neck of the woods I refuse to miss there show. One of the best live acts!
Good times! I laid sooo much into my ex listening to this song.
Like a good girl she took it and we split up a couple years later but, I recently nailed her again and I put this cd on as I pounded the shiat out of her to make her realize what she had been missing.
She asked me to get back together while we were showering, I said, Sorry you are not as fun as you used to be, Now go make me a sammich and get the fuck out before my gf gets home!
im sick of people puting down "congratulations im sorry" it had as many hits as new miserble experience, whent platinum, and was even grammy nominated. so it is a great follow up. this song is proof of it.
Thank you Emily Altman for everything you have done for me and i can only hope you will see this comment cause i know this is your favorite gin blossoms song. I love you
