Just South of Nowhere

Just South of Nowhere

"Just South of Nowhere" is a Gin Blossoms song and also the name of a DVD from this Tempe, Arizona power-pop/alternative rock and roll band.

Penned by Gin Blossoms guitarist Jesse Valenzuela, this song exemplifies the Gin Blossoms southwestern / Tempe alternative rock sound, mixing 4/4 rock and roll with country, and the use of creative pullups and pulldowns on the guitars of Valenzuela and the other Gin Blossoms guitarist, D. Scott "Scotty" Johnson sound reminiscent of the Jon Bon Jovi song Blaze of Glory.

The lyrics are poetic and naturalist, and reflect the Gin Blossoms themes of being lost, the desert, alienation, but also hopefulness. While not a hit record for the band, and not one of their most popular songs, it is considered quintessential - so much so that it is the name of the band's DVD.
