User:MauiBoyInMaltby/Lost Horizons (Gin Blossoms song)

"Lost Horizons" is the opening track of New Miserable Experience by the Gin Blossoms. Written by Doug Hopkins, the song has an autobiographical ring to it. As detailed in "Jesus of Suburbia," Hopkins was a fatality of alchoholism and personal demons. In particular, the refrain seems to reflect at least a part of Hopkins' reality: "I'll drink of anything to make this world look new again/Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and graves."

The first public performance of the song was on December 20, 1987, at Edcel's Attic, in Tempe Arizona.
