Blind Melon featuring Jena Kraus - Mouthful of Cavities

[1971alicat]

Beautifully haunting. Jena adds a whole other element to this song and I am so thankful they found her to sing it with them.

[soopaboy11]

Hard to hold back the tears

[LilJokerMusic01]

<3 <3 <3 one of my favorite all-time songs, easily top 5 - peace, much respect to you and big hugs - late ;)

[Caroline00000000]

One of my favourites, clearly perfect song. That's amazing that I can listen to it whenever I feel good or bad... it's just like a diary or best medicine that were ever made.

[mightymightythor]

I love this song, my favorite!

[ebay1026]

i am in love with this song it is so depressing, but so passionate. --overwhelming.

[obscenejest3r]

vigil sept 24 for shannon hoon

[drewpj88]

one of the most underrated bands of the 90s

[nashnwo1234]

at 2:10 when they harmonize the "havent seen him smile in a little while" part and they say it once with shannon singing the low part and jena doing the high, then they repeat the line and alternate and shannon sings the high and she sings low, one of the most beautiful sounds ive ever heard in my life. amazing harmony

[MrBgrigs]

4 dislikes? really? who the h E double hockey sticks

[mussinamoose]

My closest friend since childhood is a heroine addict. I love him but he loves heroine. i haven't seen him smile in a little while. This song hit home hard.

[karleighbyrd]

@mussinamoose I hope your friend finds a way out. <3



[StefanSu91]

RIP Shannon Hoon. Seems like something anyone would say, huh? Well not many people really thinks about the meaning of those initials... I really do hope he's resting in peace, because he was really an awesome person. Yup... RIP Shannon Hoon.

[karinakotelni]

[lickmynose]

This song never fails to give me chills.

[knowoneuknow]

me too.

[88mpny]

@lickmynose No Doubt..... One Of These Days This Will Die..... So Will Me And So Will You. Chilling indeed and nothing could be more true... Shannon I think knew he was gonna die young and his lyric "on the day I die thank GOD my soul will be released". he was in alot of pain I feel. Anyways still remember hearing that Shannon passed away and I was sad. I cut out the article on him in people magazine and framed it. He was great. had an amazing voice and seemed like a good dude as well. RIP bud.

[marsiozo]

soup...one of best rock albums ever made...

nuff said...

[kryptonickraze]

[AvaGarts123]

Einfach nur gut!!! Das ist Kaviar für die Ohren

[yourdudeness080]

I fucking love this song

[jewmoney69]

[applebee1978]

LETTERS FROM A porcupine LOVE THIS SONG/DVD GOOD JOB GUYS

[chevellenger]

Holly crap Shanoon looks so different with short hair

[savajess]

Every day you remind me...

Of how no music today can compare to this album. RIP Shannon.

[zimmy81]

best song since deja vu ,im blown away,and hes gone? fucks sake

[downariver]

jena and shannon is possibly one of the best duets ever. thank god maynard james keenan and billy howerdel are still alive.

[Barelybe]

That smile, can light up the world. I have never seen such an adorable smile. When I think of the word "Smile" an inmage of Shannon rushes to my head.

Stoned or not, he's got the best smile ever :)

This is definatly one of my top BM songs, its got so much to it.

~~*Jess*~~

[shotgunshawzy]

cobain also had a cracking smile no...?

another rock legend R.I.P. COBAIN & HOON

[mbrk6827]

ok the song is great, but did anyone notice the guy on a leash at the beginning, being walked by the guy in the mas?!? what the heck was that, who was that? was that the bassist and the lead guitarist? its like y'all are missing the elephant in the living room.

[hoeseba78]

took notice becuz i first saw the shorter version and there u can only hear and c SH

apologizing and laughing - so funny!

is the leashed guy from BlindMelon or just some random freak runnin through the picture?

[bwall19]

don't do drugs kids...they ruin truly talented people. Blind Melon members went on to form a project called Unified Theory. They had a lot of good songs as well. RIP Shannon, we all still miss you.

[musicnerdboy]

heres what i think the song means:

when people do meth they get something called methmouth,hence the name"mouthful of cavities"and when he says "write a letter to a frend of mine...who hasnt smiled in a while" if u have loads of cavities u dont want people to see them so u wont smile,plus he stabs at his heroin addiction"ill PUSH away those baby blues" so this songs prolly about shannons many drug addictions,as well as people who pressured him to do drugs"got a lot of feinds around"

[ryansteele43]

Well done on the analogy Cheers

[8vedder3]

good insight man . i have listened to every melon song ever recorded several times ... and wether they mean what i think they mean , sometimes it doesnt matter , cause i can relate , but its good to know the truth ... rip shannnon

[musicnerdboy]

thanx guys:)

[hoeseba78]

i think the aspect of the rotten teeth i squite realistic!

[garrettjames123]

Head full of cavaties

[djtrixen]

This may well be my favorite Blind Melon song... The harmony here is fantastic--it sounds loose and improvised in some places, and at the same time it matches up perfectly right where it needs to. Five stars.

[GillyBaker]

Oh my goodness me that is pretty. I'm an old lady (original 60s) who can't quite give up on rock and this is just so beautiful. Shannon you silly bastard - why did you do it?

[brutalnet]

Anyone that bashes Blind Melon surely has only heard No Rain. I really had to look into who did backgrounds on this. I thought it could have been Shannon himself. Jena's vocals on this are phenomenal. Not what you'd expect to be the second line on this at all, and her choice is nothing short of godly. Great vocal tonality, and such a perfect match. Kraus absolutely makes this track. A true masterwork. RIP Hoon.

RIP Shannon Hoon.

[bmelonhead1]

it's not an actual music video, if you're a molon fan you need to go find the dvd letters from a procupine

[conquerorshamballa]

i really love the melons.. cool music that i can relate to. fun to listen to their songs when you want to get high. natural high.. excellent vocals from shannon and excellent combination from jena and the other melons. can't say enough.. i love their music! can't wait for the new album with the new frontman.

[sudzy42]

[Eckx1084]

First time I ever heard this song was when I was standing next to Shannon's grave. It started playing from my car, and I have loved it ever since then.

[skydivebaby]

[AftermarketX]

RIP Shannon, Why did you give in that night and leave us for for the high of the evil cocain, god damn you and Kurt Cobain are the two types that come once every 1000 years we were blessed twice in the 90's somehow, now we must wait so long.

[FrugivoreJack]

One of my favourite songs ! I hope Shannon is standing on the corner staring straight Into the eyes of Jesus Christ...

A fan from France

[Gawo]
