letters from a porcupine..

[dualisticnature]

I just wish this song would never end.

[jm1072]

Thatsa pretty awesome vid.

[fronesis7]

Where did you get the image with the bronze dome in the back (starting at 0:06)? It is Mexico's city "Palacio de los Deportes". Is from another BM video? Thanks, enjoy your video.

[DiabolicalJoker]

Shannon once mentioned how he liked the idea that his lyrics were often misunderstood(in reference to the song Galaxy, I believe). Art is to be interpreted by spectator, not always the artist.

And god forbid someone show appreciation of the music and video work done here. Get off your high horse and chill a little.

[JustListen000]

@DiabolicalJoker totally

i could see someone missunderstanding it

his galaxy is his mind :P

[NEOPEAKOIL]

and who controls all the CHALK TALK (education system is run by ex nazis brought to the US via Operation Paperclip) so who controls what you think you know...

"Will they let you see and will you believe?"

I lost my brother to drugs, my grandfather to alcohol, my great aunt and uncle to Doctors prescribed drugs, my great uncle to nicoteine, my father to the vietnam war (mentally), my good friend to drugs and the entire county I live in is full of oxy heads.

Dont tell me what I do not know.

[NEOPEAKOIL]

Some drugs and some idiots doing them are bad and a system that perpetuates a drug war on peoples rights is bad.

Search = Nazis and Communists were 1st to Fluoridate their water.

Search = Aspartame, Nutra sweet etc etc

Search = BIG PHARMA BAD MEDICINE

Search = AIDS HOAX

Search = THC destroys cancer cells and regulates cell growth

Oh I could go on and on proving myself and degrading your uneduated Indoctrinated stance on drugs yet The War on Peoples Rights will not end here.

[NEOPEAKOIL]

Now listen up, I have done my share, when I was young a mountain of pills, bales of marijauna, enough alcohol to float a battleship around and enough LSD to get a grateful dead concert tripping.

According to many, I am one of the smartest people that they know.

I do not think I am the smartest by far yet I wont sell myself short as is the custom, either...

I am self employed after a career in a high tech field for a fortune 100 company.

Problems with your sterotyping?

You havent a clue

[NEOPEAKOIL]

Drugs are bad like Guns kill people...

There is a THC receptor site in all human brains.

People have chewed Coca leaves for 1000's of years.

Tea, Soda both contain a drug.

Your brain naturally produces certain drugs.

Even Heroine has its uses.

What you are referring to is a society that allows criminals to control drugs making the price outrageous, a Prison mentality that wants to build a prison for us all.

The US has 5% population but 25% worlds inmates.

Most 4 RX offenses

[MrNoobiehead]

drugs are bad. they will kill you. if you wanna learn it your self. keep doing it. i learned the hard way. dont have any good friends left cuz they are dead. but no its cool man it wont kill youuu cuz your different then everyone else. how long have you been doing drugs. not too long if your still having fun with them. talk to me when your a real junkie. lastly about people and their comments. not much needs to be said when your listening to such great music. you just listen.

[NEOPEAKOIL]

Not much substance in youtube comments it seems.

This band was great blah blah and nice video seems to be the only appropriate comments yet I gaurantee that the open minded people who brought us this wonderful music, via whatever means, would agree with me wholeheartedly that it is shallow.

These songs, these lyrics have significant meaning yet damn it if it doesnt seem totally lost on most people.

And lastly, I despise all you anti drug people and your learned behavior/fear.

[newrealization12]

@NEOPEAKOIL Lol so people's comments aren't good enough for you? I have respect for anyone that actually listens to this band. Like anyone that goes past the song no rain is cool in my book. The music speaks a lot so even if someone doesn't get the lyrics they get the mood surrounding the lyrics. And the lyrics are all up for interpretation. But it seems like whenever someone tries to discuss the lyrics on one of these videos someone gets butt hurt about it.

[lovebattery100]

[missjunkheadx]

May their be a xharm in your shine.... <3\\

Amazing lyric. ;)

[Lukith66]

the 80s produced some of the greatest bands, but the 70s and 90s produced the most amount of excellent groups in their time yes.

[tbrinson8]

beautiful....

[burdshit115]

I personally think that Blind Melon is one of the greatest bands of the 90's no one can compare to their uniqueness

[ltuomela]

great song by the way

[sofuckineasy]

What's the video at 0:08?? It's Mexico City's Sport Palace =D

[akeagleTL]

@Garboho - I agree with what you said except the 90s don't come close to the early 70s. The amount of diversity and depth of music in the early 70s was unbelievable. That said, the 90s were another peak and music today can't compare.

[NEOPEAKOIL]

FACTOID EN PASSANT

in 1989 a THC receptor site was located in the HUMAN BRAIN.

There are no receptor sites for any classified drugs per the FDA and all medical definitions associated with physical addiction. THC is not a drug per any current definition of the word based on our current understanding of the human brain.

[NEOPEAKOIL]

Fishing through the cities phone wires, till my backs out of line

Who today will be knocked off and who controls all the CHALK TALK?

Will they let you see and will you believe?

[bathtub321]

very nice job with this one keep up the fantastic work

[xhellabentx]

one band that was sooo underrated and had an overwhelming amount of originality

[Apocalyptus313]

My favorite Blind Melon song, soulful lyrics, instruments played to make the song itself magical. R.I.P Shannon Hoon even though your gone your music will be here forever.

[irisdid]

AWESOME!!! Best song and amazing video... really takes a look into Shannon Hoon's soul

[AnniliWho]

Shannon ain't dead, he lives in music that we listen. I love his voice and the music is just awesome.

[eMJay1958]

2:33 and 2:37 and 2:40 - what???

[sunlildyl]

Excellent video- nicely done-

[irisdid]

love!!!

[irisdid]

love the video..wonderful job

[jaymijan]

wish i could have taken away some of his pain......

[candy4zephyr]

Shannon had access. Love you always Shannon <3

[menips11]

fantastica!!.. I play African music from about two years but I greatly appreciate the musical style of Blind Melon .. and I must say that this merger is fantastic!.. GOOD JOB!

[NEOPEAKOIL]

yeah...

[yourFuel]

very nice video to this very nice song ;)

[NEOPEAKOIL]

I fished through the city phone lines many many times.

Did he mean me? or did he know a technician that he was trying to "reach".

Or was he all knowing and wrote this for us all...

so deservingly yet what did I do man? I just wanted to be 16 and free.. yeah

now you have gone away and left me here with these words...

you all go away...

Just a glitch in the programming and will be fixed with our next upgrade!

2012 or just another day

[JonMinney1]

jimmy873 is right, everyone does drugs. everyone does DMT every single time they fall asleep.

[NEOPEAKOIL]

you are "high" as I type this, wherever you are projecting yourself to be... and will you believe...... a second to see.... an eternity to believe....

hard to swallow when the pill is already inside of us...

Why is ours always drugs yet theirs medicine?

[r0gueshadovv]

90's band lol =D

[jimmy873]

what are you talking about???? they are a 90's band...don't post comments unless you know what the hell your talking about...and everyone does drugs, shannon just got into coke a little to much

[stuff12327]

dont get angry, i was just wondering,,,

[Caleb4551]

Shannon was an amazing man but lets not lie to our selves the man was a coke head you dont die from bein a "LITTLE" to much in to coke...he was a great man he jus got him self in way to deep with coke

[xhellabentx]

@Caleb4551 not denying your comment but alot of the greatest musicians used to deal by using and hate to say this but what he shared with the world might not have happened had he been a straight edge person so using and abusing are too totally different things and there is a fine line between the two i would never promote drug use however i am not against having fun i myself have always been the one to try and keep my friends and family grounded when the world is pushing all Meds on them

[melikesk]

gives me goosebumps!

i can cry, laugh, dance, sing, smoke and cry again at the same time while i am listening this song..

[betbowt]

Who today will be knocked off?

[hypnosfera1980]

this is the best video for a blind melon song . my respect to you ...

[inth3cl0uds]

this is a great video!

shannon was such a beautiful person and this really captures it r.i.p.

[BSkully1423]

Cool Video, to a really great song. I fucking love this band. Blind Melon is Legend!

[WhyGo79]

awesome vid!!!

[hardhittn63]

if creed were good...

[kiki368705]

MY FAVORITE VIDEO OF ALL FCKING TIME!! To the tune of "Song Remains the Same" Led Zepplin and as epic as Ken Kesey GREAT JOB!

[ZileZephane]

awesome job to whoever made this video!

[icutyouupsobad]

44,444 views

[lauranicole83]

Zeitgeist is THE movie to watch if you care anything about humanity and your future. Very cool someone mentioned it on here. We are ALL ONE or NONE! Peace.

[NathanPathan]

seriously watch zeitgeist! the first one and the second part addeum, all you have to do is google it... and if you like those also watch how to survive planet x and the also watch the venus project!!!

[Garboho]

I've often said, if you want to look for era's with great bands, look to the 70s and then look to the 90s. No other era compares and both decades are close in terms of producing great bands

[Lukith66]

@Garboho got to be said the 80s sure did alot, (yes im a guns n' roses fan) ;D

[ltuomela]

@Garboho that just one's opinion...i can name off about 10k bands that are and was great...im talkin from the 80's and out everyone knows of the 70's...90's actually sucked..it was like people forgot or had to hide the fact they could play guitar...but i can name off about 5 good ones in the 90's maybe more..talk about full circle now,guitar is cool again..solos ya know..comparing the 70's with the 90's says you have no idea wtf your talkin about..lol.you mean the 70's and the new millennium..

[Garboho]

@ltuomela Thanks for showing us that you're a dumb ass. Yes moron, the 80s, the era of ONE HIT WONDERS; the era of hair bands, had greater bands than the 90s with the likes of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, blind melon, STP, radiohead, counting crows, Bush, NIN, etc? These are all bands that put out MULTIPLE albums. Are you dumb or just drunk?

[ltuomela]

@Garboho lol..man o man just flip through my channel and learn k...

[ltuomela]

@Garboho and going by your channel i see your real popular...lmao....whew..

[Seanorman88]

@Garboho Amen.

[lawndog6794]

@Garboho an the "noughties" were shit so heres hopin!

[newrealization12]

@Garboho What about the 60's?

[bukk3t]

@Garboho you forgot the 60's idiot

[102rancid]

@Garboho totally agree but your forgetting about the 60's

[spenny1442]

@Garboho really anything from the 70's the 90's, after that it just kinda sad

[bluesoulone]

@Garboho :) 60's early 70's lol and Shannon would have fit right in. transcendental...those are old souls and would have been amazing in any era.

[NEOPEAKOIL]

will they let you see?

ZEITGEIST movie

and will you believe?

Now that is the question, isnt it...

Shannon IS awesome - we do not die - we were never born, you are not who you think you are, you are not "here", here is nowhere, forever means all is not seen, never means forever brings everything

special thanks to soundgarden :)

From Clutch to Rage to Tool back to Jimi, Zep and the Stones and even further to Son house and beyond to things like the outlawed scottish bagpipes...

[laterrialuvsya]

eh, i've gotta listen to this at least 5 times everyday or i just don't feel right.

blind melon is amazing.

[greg643]

it is a shame that people are just finding out about blind melon I've been a fan since I was 13 and I am 30 now. Thanx to my older brothers I will be melonhead forever and so will my three boys. Sorry all the young kids are stuck with new music bullshit that is out there right now just a little to later?

[CaliLiv1978]

You're really lucky... I just turned 30 myself and had been introduced to Blind Melon right before Shannon died. Then they fell off the map (at least in my neighborhood). I rediscovered their music only a few months ago. I can't believe what I've been missing!!

[Enigma3390]

I'm a kif and I can't get enough of Melon... Rock is comin back!

[NEOPEAKOIL]

will they let you see?

yes and it is called ZEITGEIST movie

will you believe?

Now that is the question isnt it...

[NEOPEAKOIL]

an illusion that helps us believe the unbelieveable...

I perceive adults acting like children and children acting more like adults enough to conclude that this to must be an illusion.

Try some clutch if you are angry or perhaps some pink floyd if you are sad and maybe some Son house death letter if you want to go back to what appears to be one of the original sources.

Pain, suffering, the blues and in between hymns and ballads of our overcoming and ascention.

[whizer5454]

Musical taste has nothing to do with age i find. its just that people my age (teenagers) have a harder time getting introduced to music like this and other awesome bands, i see plenty of older people who could care less about music, it goes both ways. the youth are as interested in older music like Zeppelin Pink floyd etc. as other generations.

[HispanicImpression]

Woah, I guess dredg is strongly influenced by this song... at least regarding their by far best album leitmotif...

[blackfireINSANITY]

If you think music today sucks, you're wrong. Popular music DOES suck, but take a look at the underground. There's plenty of awesome indie bands.

[ravenyxz]

that's the opinion of every generation

[Pynchon101]

likewise, the opinion of all previous generations are that their music is better than the next generation's. good music and good musical sense is not generational. the only difference from generation to generation is the continuing exploration of music and the various forms it takes as a result. this, however, is not an indication of good/bad.

[jimmycrackcorn1983]

this was the only good music scence the death of skynard. they were the last great band until blind melon

[ghonzalo]

i haven't even been born yet!

[DONNANDMARY]

I SURE DO MISS IT.

[xArollingStOnEx]

im 13.

[ShannonHoonIsLegend]

I'm 14. I've Been listening to nothing but 90's alternative and grunge, well since the day i was born. I'm Grunge and always will be.

GRUNGE WILL NEVER DIE!

Oh yeah those emo fags, will die off. Fast. And we have to make sure of it.

[blackfireINSANITY]

This isn't grunge, you silly sausage.

Grunge was awesome, but this was not grunge.

[gregg643]

black fire insanity sorry i hit the wrong button youare righ tthey are not grunge and should not ever ever be labled that i meant to give you a thumbs up or two

[vargvekernes]

possibly my fav Blind Melon song...

just amazing

[gooners9]

it's a shame that none of the younger generation will get to see Shannon. He was a true lead of a band, unlike these emo dudes out there now. musical genius doesn't come from clothing, or make-up. i miss the young addicts who perished...

[SporkyPoo]

lol, im 16, arent i considered the younger generation?

[subarudood1]

your still a child.....

[SporkyPoo]

most mature 'child' you may ever talk to

[SoundsofTaylor]

Ugh every teenager says they're very mature for their age. In a couple years you'll laugh at yourself for saying that. No disrespect to you, but I used to say the exact same thing.

[xArollingStOnEx]

none taken lol its very true, but i think what we mean is that our interests in music are beyond our generation

[Pumpkins1992]

I'm 16 also...I fucking hate that emo bullshit. The 60s through out the 90s had beautiful music, unlike most music now days

[bleeding9]

ah, one of my fav. songs...thank you!!!

[rockinmonk222]

hahah. indian vibes. love this song

[mickeydyl]

This song has Indian vibes; very 60sish!

[bumsmile]

LOL OBVIOULSY HE WAS ON DRUGS AT WOODSTOCK, lol I love Shannon. And I love this song.

[0hTehN0se]

He only did acid and it was a relapse your lol's are not funny.

[bumsmile]

oh my fucking god

[brientomas]

"fishing through the city phone lines" I did an A-trip listening to this song years ago... Amazing way to tap into where Shannon & Co. were coming from.

[DONNANDMARY]

I like the vid.

[matthewmorley]

does anyone know where to get guitar tabs for this?

[guitarglitch]

this is 1 of my alltime favorite songs. along with:

Black Swan - Thom Yorke

the entire Lateralus album - Tool

Love Reign o're Me - The Who

Carolina Drama (album Version) - Raconteurs

and Talkshow Host - Radiohead

:)

[guitarglitch]

oh and working class hero by John Lennon

and Old Man by Neil Young :)

[PikkaBird]

Then perhaps you'll like Blind Melon's cover (of WCH). Of course, you probably already know it. Just in case you didn't...

[galaziea]

Nice name> peanutsinapile. I get it, I get it. Very cool.

[ham2008]

wait, whats going on at like, 1:02 in the clip from woodstock?

[bmellow87]

shannon was throwing the bongos into the crowd at woodstock haha... thats what was going on at 1:02 of this video. watch the dvd letters from a porcupine, it shows the whole thing.

[tbdeawh]

I think he was on drugs @ woodstock, they talk about it a little bit in the DVD.

[matthelson]

Shit, man...pretty haunting. Nevertheless, nice job. Get a sundae or taffyapple perhaps...smile a little.

[rhcp019870]

intensee. vid

[bhayz00]

NICE VID EEE OOO

[Koreall]

I Love this song!!!

Beautiful Video!!!

[Joshqu]

great fucking job.Both the glitch ones on youtube are compeltly awsome.

[rocksteady78]

Good fuckin job!

[wastedXpandas]

F#cking awesome, and wonderful clips!!! Blind Melon could do no wrong.

[nailclippers3]

yet another awesome song from blind melon

[peanutsinapile]

This is my favorite one so far. Great job!
