  • Damn, Shannon's voice gives me goosebumps in this song.

  • q buen tema! mostraso, great song!

  • 2:50 ummmmm is the dude touching shannon's butt haha wow

  • Facial expressions at 2:41-2:47 = hilarious!

  • WTF.!!!, After watching this whole video....did anyone happen to notice the fire extinguiser at 0:03.?

  • Grandma: Turn that shit down robert i work in the morning!!

    Me:..o.0?! * the peoples elbow*!! :p

  • best song

  • Soup is a badass album

  • sexy body 

  • O M G

  • His body is cool 

  • R.I.P. Friend

  • This is one of their best songs, I honestly thought it'd be a lot more commercial. RIP Shannon, you legend.

  • Thank you Shannon Hoon and Shannon Hoon's Mother. A gift given.

  • This album is so overrated. I found it amazing.

  • Shannon Hoon...need I say anymore? You will remain in my heart forever... I LOVE and MISS YOU. I look forward to the day that we meet again Baby Boy...

  • hilariously epic vid

  • @MrP00sy I love this video its Hilarious. I love Shannon :)

  • Incredible!

  • I think every Blind Melon album is a great album...my heart's on their self titled debut because nothing beats your first taste of Blind Melon. But that doesn't make it better than Nico, Soup or For My Friends. Blind Melon's just a band that makes timeless beautiful music.

  • lets start a discussion on these lyrics. I love blind melon lyrics and these lyrics seem to be very abstract. I read that shannon had this obsession that jerry garcia named his dog god. there is a line that says "and maybe the hunters dog called god could be my friend in time" perhaps we are hunted down by religion? any thoughts

  • soup is one of my favourite albums of all time,hugely underrated from start to finish!

  • Is Soup really as bad as everyone says it is? All the reviews I read at the time ripped it to shreds, and the album was a huge flop. Was it just misunderstood at the time by people who wanted another No Rain-type album?

  • @lurch321 i liked it

  • @lurch321 Fuck 'em. Listen to the album, then decide whether it's a good album or not. Remember, reviews are based on opinions, not facts. I personally love this album.

  • @voro122 reviews are based on opinions, but opinions are based on facts...

  • @MrFleetmac No offence, but that's the most stupid thing I've heard all day. Take this album for instance, it got bashed by the critics, yet some people loves it? Where are your facts in that? If those reviews were correct, No one would like the album, and there would be no need for MetaCritic. See what I mean? There are no facts in opinions. Whether it's about music, video games or movies, everyone thinks differently about it.

  • @voro122 lol what i said makes perfect sense... i think you are miss understanding me, i said opinions are based on facts, that doesn't mean someones opinion is a fact. it simply means when your forming an opinion of something, you think about the facts.

  • @MrFleetmac There are no facts in opinions. An opinion is based of something that people don't fully agree with. For instance:

    Person 1: Alice in Chains is greatest band ever.

    Person 2: No, the greatest band ever is Blind Melon.

    How can you base that opinion on facts?

  • @voro122 *sigh* you seem to have the comprehension level of a child... both opinions you stated are based on facts, it is a fact that alice in chains is a band, it is a fact that they play music, and its a fact that when person 1 heard them he/she loved them. now i have never heard of alice in chains, but if i had i would be able to come up with three more facts easily that are behind that opinion

  • @MrFleetmac You're missing my point. I said that Person 1 thinks AIC is the ''greatest band ever'' Is AIC the greatest band ever? That's subjective, but it's not based on a fact. Yes, it's a fact that this person thinks that AIC is the greatest band ever. But that's just his/her personal opinion, not a fact.

  • @voro122 One of the best albums ever made!!!

  • @lurch321 i think soup is their best cd

  • @lurch321

    Genius is rarely appreciated in its own time...

  • Concentrate more on your own lives monkeys.

  • Gives me goosebumbs every single time I hear it, nvr gets old in my top three favs from blind melon!

  • he constantly putting out fires is the metaphor i think

  • Remembering you as you fly high with the angels....Sleep peacefully beautiful angel Shannon.......

  • it sounds over amplified intentionally, moode of the song is extreme.and also kicks ass!

  • all the good ones go away in the end

  • this is THE best song in the world

  • The sound is dissapointing. Overamplified and peaking.

  • @kellygwdobbs I disagree. I think the oveamplified sound adds to the song. It sounds very layered. parts of this song sound so creepy and intense. The music fits shannon's emotional voice perfectly.

  • Incredible!!

  • Love the song love blind melon. Love the symbolism in the video but what do the lyrics have to do with the video?

  • Of all the thingsto watch on you tube i cant help but to keep comming back to blind melon esp this vid

  • sad reminder that drugs are bad but heroin is worse

  • 12 people couldnt put out the fire

  • i of my fav all time!!!!!!

  • It's funny, half these views are probally mine!!! lol

  • Aaahroo-aaah :)

  • i wish that blind melon songs lasted longer

  • i wold have been gay for Shannon

  • @guitarlvrify lol.

  • Freedom means the ability to say what we want where we want and when we want and ANYONE who tries to stifle speech are the enemy!

    The drug war rolls on. Big pharma are the real dealers.

    Free access to drugs would remove the criminal profit motive.

    People would regain their rights, prisons would empty, gaurd and police officers would lose their jobs and big pharma would not OWN our congress.

    ZEITGEIST MOVIE for starters... we have been lied to.

  • @NEOPEAKOIL

    nice dream kid.

    grow up and face the real world. no one wants to work hard to create a drug then not get paid for it.

  • @kennyclone

    When the polio vaccine was made and then given to the public rather than sold for a profit....although it may be rare....there are a few of us that still believe in the common good.

  • @NEOPEAKOIL You're brainwashed. It's like communism; a good thought, but it certainly doesn't work practically. You don't need any proof for that I hope.

  • no matter who the guys are or were

    just listen to the music - if you don't like it - get ya hell to the next one and stop complaining

  • Shannon Hoon was so hot. I liked short haired healthy looking Shannon. Too bad he got back on the junk and killed himself....*sigh*

  • best fucking video ever..... period.

  • great song.... stupid video imho

  • my response to literally every blind melon song i hear is "This is song is too short"

  • doesn't anybody feel that all the killers should be kill?

  • I LOVE SHANNON HOON, this band had SO much potential... Heroin has killed a few people i love... What a waste of such talent!

  • @queenbonnieb

    He o'd on cocain actually

  • @FrxBass actuaully he died of a speed ball

  • @twistedgrrrl13

    Nope, not because he went to a heroin detox center months before that he died of a speedball, it's written black on white in his bio, he died of a cocaine o.d. .... after a full night cocaine binge.. found dead in his bed

  • @FrxBass Ummmmmmm NO

  • @FrxBass Ummm, NO

  • @boomoo1212

    I was talking about Layne Staley, I know Shannon died from a cocaine overdose in the tour bus in New-Orleans...

  • im a melon fan..hope that people will learn something from them.........not from bieber..

  • 12 people have no toes.

  • This video has the perfect symbolic picture of the left foot or weakest part of the heart. Put forth first. erick

  • 2:48 the slow motion guy grabs shannon hoon's ass while they are fallin down lmao i love this song!

  • @xGuiltyFatex

    ahahaha nice one

  • Comment removed

  • One of my fav songs & prolly one of the hardest songs by Blind Melon.. You can see how gone he is, in his eyes in this vid.. I have it stuck in my head all the time. RIP Shannon, we miss you<3

  • sometimes when i listen to blind melon i forget that other music even exists!!!! hands down the most underrated band of all time!!! i hope you've kept making music wherever you are now shannon cause i wanna hear that shit!!!! :)

  • @pennyroyaltea89 I always have that exact same feeling!!! It's timeless and soooo very good!!

  • que buena banda l p m ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡

  • this song kicks ass!! miss u shannon rip

  • Soup just kick-ass...

  • he scraped his toes acroos the floor tryin to put out the fire we all scrape tryin to put out our fires we as people hate confrontation so we subterfuge our actions so deep haha love you melon heads

  • i love when i discover new amazing fucking music!!!! Blind Melon is awesome!!! I've been listening to this album all day

  • i like this song, but the music video is very distracting and doesnt add anything. I really wish they did something different for the vid.

  • @blacksabbathgnr098 you spend your whole time concentrating on the video 'cos you wanna see whathappens the song is over before you realise so i prefer to have just audio no video i can concentrate on the awesome song then [=

  • @Lukith66 agreed or atleast the vid could show them playing the music or have something to do with what the song is about. This just looks like some directors audition tape to direct a Final Destination movie.

  • @blacksabbathgnr098 yeah i know what you mean. and the fact that it's slow motion it's quite dull. you'd think the lyrics 'i scraped my toes across the floor' would symbolise something metophorically, and in the video they just show this half naked man and he scrapes his toes across the floor to jump the couch :/

  • @Lukith66

    He simply wanted to make it look easy to understand, so it becomes harder for people to see it with the second meaning which is more of a depressed one.

  • got to be one of the best songs ever written. 

  • 2:47 shannon looks so funny :P

  • so many good artists died because of drugs... makes me hate drugs.

  • every one of blind melon's songs are number one hits to me.

  • This is the type of song i wish i was involved in writing. RIP Hoon, no ones forgotten.

  • is this guy related Kelso?

  • hahah genial!

  • There's so much symbolism to this video. Metaphors. He has a goal and destroys something beautiful for the water, trips and destroys his 'light' while not looking, barely vaults the couch only to plow down his friends. When he solves the problem (messily) he looks back to see a greater problem where he began and the huge extinguisher he had beside the bed the whole time if he'd only bothered to notice. Dwell on it.

  • @terriblefez - you said it beautifully man, i thought similar the first time i watched this...

  • @terriblefez well deduced!

  • @terriblefez your comment deserves to be in the highest rated section so you have one from me! (:

  • @terriblefez Great comment!

  • @terriblefez lol nice dude..

  • @terriblefez lol nice dude.. i dont remember seeing an extinguisher tho

  • @zigsinclair It's in a silver canister beside the bed it looks like an o2 tank

  • @terriblefez what a great comment i want 2 be yer friend!!!

  • @terriblefez i couldnt agree more......im glad you took the time to type that..enlightening

  • @terriblefez that looks like a n2o tank or a really big fire extinguisher either way I agree all of shannons lyrics are so deep

  • @terriblefez What can you say about the lyrics? Kinda creepy right?

  • @terriblefez holy shit i never noticed the extinguisher! good call :D

  • @terriblefez make it to what u think.. unless u heard this from the writer u can never be sure.. sometimes songs dont meen anything.. :(

    we even have a writer in denmark.. he sings/tells very detailed in his songs.. i was in "trance" over the lyrics.. i was sure h lived much of what he sang about.. though later i found out he dident.. i was very disapointed...

    But ofc i agree again.. surely this must meen something.

  • love this band!!!!!!...90's rule!

  • Greatest band ever!

  • omg i love him so much!

  • i kno this video was in 95 but it looks really new

  • THIS SONG IS AWESOME

  • i love this fucking band

  • I feel bad that I've only just discovered these guys. I watch these videos and I can see the conflict and the pain... we lose too many great people to drugs.

  • just amazing.....I miss Shannon!!!

  • Ever since I got my first mp3 player, this song has always been on my playlist. It's just good. No other explanation..

  • Blind Melon......this was and is a break from everyday tip tap. Awesome...

  • Shannon Hoon has/had an amazing singing voice.. A missed beautiful soul from Ind e..g Kurt V)

  • Comment removed

  • this has been my favorite song for like 4 years now and this was the first time I have seen the video, I love it even more now, this song is the best.

  • temazo !

  • i dont wanna say this but this isn't Shannon....

  • @zachdewall ---

    Are you drunk????????

  • @captiancameltoe no shannon was better with long hair you know,this is an exellent song too.. but this isnt shannon he's way to different

  • @zachdewall what?!?!

  • Shannon looks so sad and resigned in this video I just wanna give him a hug. Such a loss of a talented artist.

  • Basically I just Jizzed

  • I love this song, and this video. Soup was an AMAZING album. The wife and I still listen to it a lot.

    RIP Shannon...

  • i don't like this music video. I feel like i was more focused on that male model trying to put out his oven fire than the music.

  • @blacksabbathgnr098 it's a great video man, it's rich in metaphor, and has something to say about paranoia. most bands dream of making a video for their music that actually has some substance and character and manages to stand out from the dirge, this video does all those things. I think it captures the spirit of the music brilliantly. If you have a problem go listen to the song on it's own, watch a video and expect to be involved in what you see, it's pretty simple really.

  • @samuraikicks I understand the theme of the video. I just don't like it because it has nothing to do with the song. The video is very simple. The music is very complex. They both have entirely different messages.I would rather have a video that in some way matched the message of the song. WIth this video, you have two messages being communicated at once and it forces you to choose which to listen to. The song is brilliant but the video is simple and distracting.

  • @blacksabbathgnr098 yeah! good video with good meaning, but distracting as it differs from the song. i think the song woulda gone better with a more pumped up, quick moving video, and since the video is slow they shoulda put it with a slower tempo song

  • all my little friends, all my little friends......

  • Cant find any other music in the same supposed genre i like. And still this is my fav band. Soup ive listened to maybe over 100 times and i NEVER skip a song and always have to listen to whole album its awsome.

  • LOVE.

  • @mysurfaceorg Endless love. ♥

  • Soup is one of the greatest albums of the 90's... No doubt!!!

  • lol...i always thought that was a fire extinguisher too.

  • Wow, forgot they made this video.

  • any 1 notice the fire extinguisher in the begining? lmao

  • @conbait that looks like a air tank to me, like the ones old people that smoke have to use

  • does any one notice the firehydrent next to the bed in the beggining lmao?

  • @conbait you mean the oxygen tank on the right of the bed?

  • @dadankness yea it is an oxygen tank what up with that?

  • @manda253253 It might be Nitrous.. that would be more fitting of Shannon personality haha

  • soup is one of the best albums ever!

  • @canadianangel1979 oh ya it is! :)

  • There's no shortage of houchy mamas in music videos but definately not enough gratuitous attractive males, thanks for truning the tables Melon!!!

  • the way he knocks everyone down is hilarious haha

  • 2:50-2:51 :)

    aoooah!

    I would give anything to have been that guy to have touched Shannons perfect ass.

  • un bandon!!! un video de culto....

  • What a clip!!

  • it annoys me that people only know blind melon because of no rain, half of the other songs they've never heard. their such an amazing band.

    RIP shannon. we love you.

  • this video is epic .

  • i love their music, and they were only getting better. rip Shannon
