Blind Melon - No Rain [Ripped Away Version] - Nico

[Foregrim]

this version blows

[LukeGNR94]

I'm organizing a worldwide Shannon remembrance day. On the date he died (October 21st) I want everybody to spend the day getting high, or whatever you prefer and listen to Blind Melon's music. (I'm not trying to advertise anything wrongly, I love shannon's music). I hope everybody will like the idea and you can find the page on facebook. "Celebrating the life on Shannon Hoon" it is called; LET'S RAISE AWARENESS OFF SHANNON'S MUSIC !

[tinekrissy]

good lord. i seriously did not , and simply can not take this seriously.  WAIT... I GET IT... ITS A JOKE RIGHT!?

[StressedYeti]

@tinekrissy It's the original version.

Their label said it was too down-beat to be a single and made them re-record it.

[lacklusterheart]

like #50 <3 couldnt find a love button so ill settle for like.

[BlindMelon1993]

and yeah voro122 i totally agree with you on that one bro

[2muchlemonade89]

Hate the other version fucking love this one tho!

[MrClingo24]

its a lot darker, has a sad hating version of being lazy, I don't really like it because it's like its painful and it hurts to be lazy. Now I like the other version because happy has a good feeling to it. Thats probably why I dont like this version.

[voro122]

@MrClingo24 If you've ever tried to figure out the meaning of the lyrics, this fits better in my opinion.

The song is essentially about depression, and how your struggling to get out of it. This song gives me the sense of a funeral with the use of bagpipes and the drums. Kind of like you failed to get over the depression and committed suicide. Guess I'm all wrong, but that's just what this song means to me :P

[setpunk12]

these guys made music that spoke of pure freedom and joy of life. so strange because their singer seemed to be in such pain

i must say, im not a fan of the blind melon but this is a great version of no rain. better than the single i say, thanks for the post.

[divinereference]
