Heard this the other day. Remember it well and probably my favorite Gin Blossoms song. Though not as popular as the hits, its a beautifully written, produced and performed piece of music.
To me, definitely about a 1 night stand with a girl of the same "stature" shall we say. Only remembering "Pieces of the Night" the next morning, dealing with a hangover and the regret of once again finding only drunken, temporary solace in the arms of a woman who probably couldn't care less.
An age-old tale told with a beautiful melody (yes that major 7th chord is a killer!) & all the more tragic when put into context with the songwriter.. who took is own life.
Depression and inner turmoil produces the most amazing comedians, musicians, writers and songwriters. Creativity is such a gift in and of itself. So sad that it isn't enough for those who have been provided such blessings.
