  • This album came in the mail from Columbia House. One of my first cd's ever. 6 for a penny!

  • This video doesn't do justice to how important this song is to some people. When you learn what this is about, and you experience it yourself, that Eureka moment is inescapable.

  • 30 people are full of shit.

  • best band EVER!!! ShannonHoon is the man!!!.....Riddle's GF =)

    

  • that music must be out there, its just that nobody knows where because mtv is busy with gaga or shit like that...there must be a small band that still gives us joy, hope we find that shit!!

  • @brayand281 strangley, we're over here in wales. you'll here of us in a good few years

  • most underrated song fucking ever

  • That guy can't be 12... lol don't believe it.

  • I smell the nice scent of the 90's with this song!!

  • man. as someone born in 95, i didnt realy get a feel for this stuff, even though it was always in the background. but lately this and nirvana have been dominating me and i am 100% ok with that

  • @Jangleman12 Life's a journey and music just the same. Never stop exploring.

  • this makes me want to relive my teens still rockin to ya would just love to see what that wonderfull mind would have had for us

  • how come i wasn't invited to this gig ?

  • the 90's were the shit

  • MUD PEOPLE!!!!!!!

  • 30 people are just plain fuckin stupid.

  • @bucketdaweed those kind of comments are dumb stop trying to seek attention.

  • @JayT851 Hmmm, I Wonder....

  • @bucketdaweed They probably like the album version better.

  • ils seront en concert le 09/09/2011 au on air studio à Mons Belgique 4 rue du miroir

  • Really good tune. Too bad the video doesn't match the tone of the song.

  • @z0mbiechrist U're right dude!

  • dude i only see white people in the video 

  • @madeindade1000 thats cus he didnt like black ppl

  • Blind Melon's music was raw, natural and real. It does not get any better than that! Shannon Hoon was by far one of the best frontmen I've ever seen. He was real to the music himself and the fans. A rarity in itself! I totally adore Shannon Hoon for his beauty of life and music inside and out. Blind Melon is a great inspiration to me. It took all members in Blind Melon to be as one. Sleep Peacefully Beautiful angel Shannon. I will C U N Heaven..............Peace and God Bless to all

  • yea these lyrics are powerful.

  • oh, I'm sorry, excuse me for having a broken keyboard. Now that I am on a *different* computer, I am sure that you will have better things to do than criticize a 14 year old girl. Have a great day, you critcal fuck head. :P

  • you're 14 learn the difference between s and z

  • @SeisTresUno oh, I'm sorry, excuse me for having a broken keyboard. Now that I am on a *different* computer, I am sure that you will have better things to do than criticize a 14 year old girl. Have a great day, you critcal fuck head. :P

  • The sound is wierd on this video.

  • i miss them too

  • gara-gara nonton video ini me and my band, jadi kepingin brewokan.. pokok nya bulan ramadhan tahun ini penampilan kami jadi agak sedikit aLa SYEKH............ syekhtan maksud nya..

  • 124 thumbs up. Thanks guys, didnt expect that!

  • This songs puts me in the best mood.. i love blind melon.

  • god i miss his voice

  • you were here to bring joy and life to others shannon! R.I.P. SHANNON HOON!

  • i'm glad Shannon Hoon got to share his voice with us :)

  • y"all need to leave my man Luke alone. He's the shit. You bitch and complain about nobody recognizing Blind Melon then you tear down a young man that"s probably way ahead of you when you were 16. Take the positives out of what he said, which i might add was beautifully put for a 16 yr old. Don't worry Luke you way smarter tha them.

  • @MrWarmGravy wow thanks man, nicest thing anyone's said to me. do you know me?

  • @LukeGNR94 No I i don't know you. But it's obvious you've got a grasp on this stuff. Just keep pluggin away. You're ahead of the curve it seems. Moment of silence for our man Shannon!

  • 105 thumbs up? i didnt expect that at all.. thanks guys

  • Im 21, this was my favorite band when I was like 5 years old. Lol. <3

  • i lovee blind melon and i'm 14 i've been listening to them since i was 9 and there amazing i listen to most of there songs everyday to remind me that life is a gift and live it to it's fullest thats what shannon did amazing. wish i was alive when he was but r.i.p shannon hoon<3

  • Shannon Hoon was the crazy mountain man with the voice of an angel

  • Why are young people so obsessed with their own age?? This flavor of narcissism is perplexing, like a reverse morbidity. I mean, its great that you're not into auto-tune, but being under 20 doesn't mean anything you say is more amazing or pithy simply because you have arrived at an atypical appreciation of music. Also, listen to Modest Mouse. You'll like that too.

  • i want to be 16 again, when no lady, jonas bros, no katty perry, no Disney's stars and tv shows, no jersey shore or any reality shows, no emos, no linsay lohan or paris hilton, no pop stars, no music pre-made bands or any of the crappy things from the 2000's called ''cool stuff''

  • @GUARIKAKANAY Did you turn 17 last year?

  • @desolationrow really???

  • @GUARIKAKANAY History always seems to repeat itself, let us hope that this happens soon! The raw talent and beautiful soul that Shannon had is simply mind-blowing. No one will top Shannon, but I have my fingers crossed for some real talent to come along in the very near future!!

  • @longlivethehippies amen to that bro!

  • @GUARIKAKANAY you don´t need to back in time, keep on your ideas, look!, i love blind melon and shannon lyrics and a have only 18 years, i have born at the year that this song was made and i love it .... sorry about my english xD

  • @TOPOATROFIADO no hay problema hermano, mi ingles tampoco es tan bueno, pero tienes razon no hay que volver el tiempo sino vivirlo, sobre todo ser real en cuanto a la musica

  • @GUARIKAKANAY gb2 linkin park

  • @GUARIKAKANAY I agree - those were better times.

  • @GUARIKAKANAY

    To each his own.

  • @GUARIKAKANAY yeah... you and the rest of us from the 90's!!!!

  • @GUARIKAKANAY atleast you got that time, im 12 and i grew up with that shit

  • @GUARIKAKANAY The world keeps getting worse, I'm 15 and 90s music reminds me of better times

  • @GUARIKAKANAY Hell to the fuck yea! Cheers to that man!

  • i'm 18 now and love this band. wish i had discovered them with 16..

  • 30 people are just fuckin out of there minds... AMAZING SONG, AMAZING BAND , JUST PERFECT

  • People that disliked this are clueless

  • I would give anything to smoke a bowl with Shannon.

  • @DeathCycleBand

    I did in 94 at Mammoth Mtn!

  • @Mammoth37 No way!!! bro thats fucking amazing, what were you smokin with?

  • @DeathCycleBand I did just that when they opened for Neil Young. Hah. He was so sweet.

  • @sharksonice dude xD lucky :3

  • *Beats face into keyboard*

  • 28 personas saben a caca

  • @TractateOnMe 29 personas saben a súper caca

  • 28 people still fucking wonder

  • where's the damn intro?? best part of the entire song and it's taken out...

  • fuck all your stupid ass comments, watch in full screen!!

  • Does any one here like seed? peace@

  • Top 3 people I'd like to grab a beer with.

    1.Layne Staley

    2. Shannon Hoon

    3. Andrew Wood.

  • @voro122 Yeah agreed:) For me i'd have a few beers with Jim Morrison as well:) But knowing him i'd be drinking bourbon,brandy,rum and vodka as well as beer:) I just wished i met layne staley when he was alive:( He's my hero!!!! Too many die at 27:(

  • @voro122 me too. In that order!

  • Best music video of all time. Who doesn't want to play in the mud :)

  • Una de las mejores bandas musicales de los ultimos tiempos... y si.. se extrañan los 90`s

  • Una de las mejores de los ultimos tiempos... y si.. se extrañan los 90`s

  • my bearded shannon

  • When I was 12 I would play in the mud like this. There is something very magical about this. Maybe, the freedom of being so carefree. Ah yes, a chance to feel the freedom of our spirit. No shame, no blame, it's all just fun and games.

  • I was 6 when this song came out, and I love this band. It's true a lot of people my age and younger don't even stop to enjoy real music, but don't forget about us who do.

  • oh man, i really just want to, like, jump right into one of those mud puddles and roll around and get my hair all dirty....:D by the way, this song is amazing!!!

  • alone

  • almost as much mud as glastonbury

  • anyone else feel they've escaped from society and basked in the wonderful glory of blind melon? almost as if blind melon is life, and their music is the soundtrack to my everyday living. anyone else feel insulted knowing that is this song were to be played on the radio today, or to a bunch of typical teenagers in the street, that it'd be ignored, they want their electronic sounds n' camp dull singing.. 'cos it's 'popular'. I'm fucking 16... and im happy to be one to experience real music.

  • @Lukith66 Good for you hunny :) Music that is churned out these days most of it is shit :/

  • @benbu7m01 yup, it sucks! i didnt realise my comment had even been noticed... i dont think ive ever had a highest rated comment before :P

  • @Lukith66 hell yea i feel the same exact way, and if your only 16 youll be the few who are saved from the new music plague. il be headed to layfiette next october for his death date im pretty psyched.i heer its a festival

  • @Steadyduzit4200 aha yeah! they have a big gathering every year to rememebr him, and they sing his songs and talk about him andh is grandmother Vernie is always there xD

  • Man, I feel that 100%. I hate the stuff they play on the radio today. There is nothing better than the 90's Blind Melon is the best@Lukith66

  • @Lukith66 the greatest thing i have ever read on youtube. thank you. <3

  • @profeshxhobo my pleasure (:

  • @Lukith66 Straight up

  • @Lukith66

    You are looking at this the wrong way.

    Would you really want every crappy radio station to be playing Blind Melon? All the little hipsters running around with RIP SHANNON shirts on? I know I wouldn't.

    Music like this is better left for those of us who can enjoy it for the message it portrays, along with (for myself anyway) helping to bring back memories of when I was younger and this song was new.

    Let the kids have their KeSha and BEP. More Shannon for us.

  • @Lukith66

    great comment.....ive listened to blind melon for many years and have a son who is 21 and has always loved these guys...its all about loving the music and sharing it with your kids....!

  • @Lukith66 Holy shit. You just said it all my friend. You're younger than me. More power to you.

  • @Lukith66 im on probation and im living with my insane parents, as a result of my probation. currently im depressed and really mad, just hoping to surpass these idiots. once they die off, ill be able to nurture my brain. these idiots will never get it. smoking weed the day i get off probation. FUCK THIS PLACe!!!!

  • @Lukith66 Your living in your youth. I used to feel the same way about the Beach Boys and then I realized that the music of my generation was just as good but it fit the times I grew up in. You also need to learn that you can convey information better without a foul mouth.

  • @Lukith66 no one artist is life. but yeah today music sucks. i think people should start writing there own music and everyone would be a lot happier

  • @Lukith66 THANK GOD!!!!!! your not typical. that made my spirit lift like ten fold. good job for not being all crazy and listening to shitty stuff. my little bro is 16 and he is all about some Blind Melon because i made him hang around me when it came to music. YAY!!! there is hope

  • @Lukith66 you're the coolest kid in the world

  • @PowahKordz thanks, dan ;D

  • @Lukith66 i was 14 when i first rocked this album and STILL rock it at 28.. blind melon still til this very moment has an impact on my soul.

  • @Lukith66 I'm so damn relieved to hear you say all that. Hell yes!

  • @Lukith66

    quit being so arrogant in your "music experience"

    you're only 16. your taste in music will evolve. don't deny it

  • @nonSteel trust me asshole i have had enough experience in my short time :P

  • @Lukith66 Just say fuck em. Fuck popular music and make your own contribution to keeping real music around. Start a band or tell people about Blind Melon.. anything to bring the people closer to a collective enlightenment that auto tune, Lady Perry, Bieberzeriat etc. are bullshit excuse for anything remotely close to music. I apologize for mentioning you know who.

  • @kazedesusama i am in a band! our main message is to remind people of what beautiful music is all about.

  • Comment removed

  • @Lukith66 i feel ya man, what ever happened to making music with a real instruments instead of technology?

  • @Lukith66 yea these lyrics are very powerful. i first heard them in 95 when i was 15 and fell in love. finally felt understood.

  • @Lukith66 im 14 and happy to expeirece real Music! Screw electronic sounds and dull singing I dont jump on NO FUCKING BANDWAGON ! People look at me funny if I tell them I listen to old music but they just don't get it what they are missing ou.t on.. too bad my Generation is mostly fucked. Thats ok they can just sit their and listen to gaga and what not thats ok cuz if im having a bad day or just want some good music I can ALWAYS COUNT ON BLIND MELON!

  • @Lukith66 Well I'm 31 and feel the EXACT same way so cheers!!!!

  • GOD BLESS THE OLD 90S MUSIC, TIME SHOULD NEVER PASS.

  • where the fucks the intro gone i love that part; imma sad panda

    All alone the broadening skies

    Under the every night I will lie

    Scratching claw and grip the rails

    Every day my living hell

    Oh God you know I've tried

    I know how hard I tried

    And oh I tried......

  • @andymcoilly

    oh yeah....i forgot about that intro!

    hehe i like pandas

  • This song was written in same format as Change...and just as beautiful! :)

  • why does the music for the video leave out some of the instrumentals

  • @nashnwo1234 just a guess but maybe he wrote the song by himself idk

  • @nashnwo1234 they probably just play the instrumentals live, im sure this is the only version they recorded 

  • 15 years without shannon hoon

    that was yesterday

    today it is 15 years and one day without shannon hoon

    rest in peace

    we all miss you

  • @brainwashit he died 1 day after my birthday..

  • @brainwashit ........... and still love you forever

  • @brainwashit I know:( I miss him a lot Shannon was born 9/26/67 and I was Born 12/26/96 It sucks:( he died 10'21'1995( I think Im right) He was such a sweetie I would give anything to meet him. just to talk to him he was such an easy going person. He didnt act like a total dumbass like some famous guys of today ( guys from Jersey shore for example) blah! on September,26 and october 21st I take a moment to remember him.( from the only Memories i do have, Through videos, music, etc.

  • Fucking heroin it took so many beautiful people...shit it almost got me............R.I.P. Shannon, Layne,Kurt, Andrew....etc....

  • @jeanbean43 hoon died from a cocaine overdose, that was his addiction :/

  • @Lukith66 sorry but addiction is addiction...its still fucked up no matter

  • @jeanbean43 yes, i'm aware of that.

  • So creative, the video and the music.

  • @alicox1980

    it looks like Bullet with butterfly wings but since it was made after this I gotta say YEAH BOI you got a point

  • every word is like rain dripping off the tounge that is GOD!!

  • in the corner i got the ceiling in my eyes, arms holdin up my knees, and rockin back and forth's my life......epic

  • i see slipknot tried to copy with with 'duality'. problem is; slipknot suck, and blind melon kiss fucking ass

  • one of my favourite melon songs, cant get enough.

  • for everyone on here who says new music sucks.... you are WRONG. just pop culture music sucks! there are plenty of new bands that are carrying music furthur as we speak. you just gotta look a little harder. check out bands like umphreys mcgee, Moe. , lotus, perpetual groove and furthur. those guys should be enough to rekindle your hope in good music

  • @umphreysmcgeeLSD my band is a rock n 'roll band, we base our music around guns n' roses, blind melon influences, WE WILL REVIVE REAL MUSIC!

  • @umphreysmcgeeLSD Thank you soooo much for telling about those bands Perpetual Groove is awesome!You might want to check out Tristeza!

  • @umphreysmcgeeLSD Parlour mob are also a good new band- classic rock magazine is full of these guys, who are just unheard because they don't get mainstream radio time. It's a shame really

  • can never get sick of music like this,, god damned heroin takes all the greatz

  • well , the 90s are gone and keisha and lil wayne are here  i realy do like new music but i will always hold this voice and band so close i love these guys forever long live shannon and blind melon!

  • im 16, amazing music like this is before my time, but I love it!

    i understand my generation has brought terrible music, and I apologise on behalf of everyone my age.

    but I'm a guitarist n' singer and I hope to revive real music, make it big in a band and remind the world of great bands like Blind Melon, Guns N' Roses and many more! I base all of my music around this band's sound, and I hope to achieve success, not all teens of this generation has bad taste!

  • i miss you Shannon Hoon.

  • Shannon came around like Haley's Comet....he'll be back but for a new generation...we'll all be dead...but, he'll share his wisdom and disappear again.

  • @biakaba

    I love it :)

  • Best song from what is a great (and underrated) album. 

  • F*** THE 26+! They are still asking themselves what was he all about- well he was very good to me during my college years- and that's enough said. The 26 were the NERDS+! And, in high school and college, never hung with your uptight crowd. So miss S. HOON- he made me start smoking out of an APPLE ;')

  • deep lyrics

  • Mulberry, Indiana's blessed son, Shannon ! I think he went to Jeff High in Lafayette

  • @catman306 something like that, he went to high school with axl rose and izzy stradlin!

  • @Lukith66 Shannon actually went to McCutcheon High School. Axl and Izzy went to Jeff and both high schools are in Lafayette, Indiana.

  • @Lukith66 Shannon went to McCutcheon High School, Axl and Izzy went to Jefferson High School, both schools are in Lafayette, Indiana

  • @boiler159 oh fair enough

    axl rose and shannon hoon, the two best musicians ever, both from indiana!

  • Tanto tiempo adorando esta canción y aún no conocía el vídeo oficial....definitivamente sucio y pegajoso, todo un "trainning camp" para el woodstock del 94

  • ha, i never noticed but on this video, at the very beginning, check out the dude walking the top of the bridge. is that Shannon?

  • @GrizzlTooth yeah man that was him...the film crew were sketching out that he was going to fall but he made it

  • Shannon Hoon is my hero...im sad to say..but also very proud that he passed away in my hometown in New Orleans that night before his show at the house of blues..RIP ..music needs you nowadays..forget the radio
