  • This is one of those songs that, with or without a joint, completely chills me out and kills any stress i have for the time being. Can't help but vibe to great music like this.. Brings me back to when I was young.

  • OH... MY OLD FAVROUITE SONG. I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.... :) THANK YOU

  • I saw these guys are playing a show here soon. Cool they are still around after all these years.

  • @Snortemup the singer has passed away RIP

  • @Snortemup except Shannon died in '95....

  • @potmesil0 they have a new singer if my memory serves me correct.. they have tours n all.

    even tho i don't consider blind melon as blind melon without shannon, i'd still love to see their show.. :(

  • @potmesil0 Well they replaced him then because they are playing a show in Denver.

  • Loved Shannon Hoon in GNR's "Don't Cry".

  • HOly shit, you guys have so much free time on your hands, but no lie I am extrememly impressed with the fact that it sounds like a fairly intelligent conversation

  • Due to the lack of space, I messed up my comment. I meant to say that when people have trouble staying clean, they are usually self medicating, usually to cover up a undiagnosed psychological disorder. Sometimes it is a diagnosed disorder, but not only does prescribed medication not work when someone is taking drugs, but most of the time prescribed medication doesn't work at all. Now the pharmaceutical companies will find & kill me. A great loss for music & humanity.

  • This song is pure happiness . . . I wish I had a field to just dance how I want in as well :) R.I.P. Shannon Hoon, I wish I could have met you

  • Great piece of music from a briefly lived band. Rest in Peace Shannon Hoon.

  • Beautiful song.

    RIP , beautiful soul

  • drugs are awesome

  • drugs are awesome

  • This is a great video. Unfortunately for his parents, they have the video and not their son. Suicide is always a waste - there was one in my family (dad) and it's everyone's loss. Well, I do love the song so he left something good behind...

  • Dumb prick killed himself. Doesn't matter how good the music was, if you do drugs you're a retard.

  • @McLarenInternational.. wow dude that was harsh, maybe you need some drugs to calm down and understand humanity a bit... This song is a case study for depression and wanting to fit in… Self medication is something that happens, when both of these phenomena occur. Maybe you should go back to your little hole and smoke some dope or something and quite cutting down on talented artist like Shannon hoon…

  • @McLarenInternational May i ask a small question? What gives you the right to judge another man. You have no place to judge others, because by judging others, you only prove that you are insecure about yourself. Maybe you need to rethink the way you say things. Saying "Doing drugs is terrible and can kill people, just like in this case" and expressing your opinion is fine. But to completely disrespect a man whom is now dead is just wrong.

  • @McLarenInternational Really? Dude don't even fucking try to trash talk him..obviously you are above and beyond ignorance. Fucking trash dude..

  • @McLarenInternational it does matter. We all make mistakes in our lives. He left This Good Music. He must've felt like he didn't belong to this world and stuff and people looked down on him. We have no right to judge others. I heard this song when i was in high school. Good song and we should learn from it. Some people who think life is too hard to handle they take drugs some kill themselves. We should follow the bee girl. She never lost hope no matter how many people laughed at her.

  • @louisgeorge FIY People that make inflammatory comments are usually trying to get attention, & are showing their ignorance as well. People who have trouble staying clean, in the vast majority of cases, are "self-medicating", usually covering up some undiagnosed psychological disorder some , depression or some other mood disorder. Being famous &/or having money, instead of alleviating the problem, makes it worse. Anyway, it is a sad loss for the music world & humanity. BTW, I'm a psychologist.

  • @jarileigh This is very true. Studies have shown most addicts have anxiety disorders and/or some form of ADD. It's such a shame that addicts have been given such a stigma, imo, and this is a psych nurse speaking, we'd have better results teaching them to be functional addicts instead of forcing them into a guilt ridden existence without proper coping mechanisms. We have those receptors for reasons, our ancestors used those substances for thousands of years.

  • @Zurie53225 the really sad thing is that conditions like ADD, ADHD, Bi-polar disorder and the rest have no scientific evidence. Doctors have no clue what a chemically sound brain looks like much less an unbalanced. They just wanna push THEIR drugs and want your help so they use their mind manipulation psycho-fuck head trip propaganda that perpetuates itself through the machine collecting money while disregarding any "medical ethics creed" Pathetic really.

  • @UNSUNGBAND As a psych nurse and someone who has had to utilize those services personally not sure if I should be offended or what. My theories are that toxins, prions, in the environment have screwed us up, could also be viruses they are responsible for evolution anyway and most of us are infected with the Epstein Barre virus as well as others. Psychology isn't like it use to be, where I work we use more holistic methods and are implementing restrain free treatment. Some do need help.

  • @UNSUNGBAND I just had to add one to this, as a survivor of a suicide attempt and severe trauma the help I needed couldn't be found with my family, they perpetrated the malfeasance. We have a safe place, I work with adolescence, help them find healthy outlets, go through their angst in a healthy way, we do a lot of yoga, meditation, nutritional work, etc. I refused psychotropics in treatment for myself, it is up to you to make that decision. My role is to empower.

  • @Zurie53225 This is the best thing you said. IT IS UP TO YOU. Psychology is total bullshit.. everyone's theory on how the mind works when none of them can explain it. It's all in your head.. literally. YES you can try to help people by influencing them for the better BUT when it all comes down to it before the end of the day...if someone wants to do something they will do it. If they don't, they won't. It's that simple or it's as complex as you want to make it.

  • @UNSUNGBAND Although I think your sentiment is that people use these labels as a crutch, I do see psychology as a worthy science. People make irrational decisions based on emotion, we want to protect them. Not all psychology is hell bent on medications, cognitive behavioral therapists I know generally try to help you with tools to use instead of medications. Are there quacks out there? Yes, that is any profession but we try to help people make rational decisions for their lives.

  • @UNSUNGBAND But I do understand your sentiment and I do know of facilities that are terrible, where they just drug people up to keep them out of the way, like One Flew Over the Cooku's Nest but not as severe. I'm a strong proponent of medical marijuana as well, and most psych professionals I know are too. We have hormones in our food that directly affect our neurotransmitters, cannibinoids have been shown in studies to fix that. The US just sucks for unhindered research.

  • @Zurie53225 Actually the US Gov' has a patent on cannaboids and their healing powers.. just look it up yourself. The patent number is 6630507.

  • @UNSUNGBAND The following provisional patent application refers to the methods and compositions relating to a novel use for enzymatic catalysis of C21-H30-O2 (delta-nine tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)) as an insect repellent, bactericide, and fungicide and dispensation methods as commercial reagent. The bio-synthesis of cannabinoids represents a landmark achievement in the field of composting, vector removal and ecological reconstitution. - from the abstract, not medicine, pesticide, antiseptic

  • @UNSUNGBAND David Anson Parker holds the patent not the US government. They issue patents they don't hold them.

  • @UNSUNGBANDThe US Gov' SUCKS! There is a medication in Stage 4 of trials w/thoe FDA that will never be passed b/c it WORKS! It is for short term therapy for PTSD & other conditions of that nature. It would put all the pharm c

  • @UNSUNGBAND Sorry, the drug in question will never be passed due to the fact that it is incredibly effective! It would put the pharm co out of business. Who pays for the tests? (pharma co). Why would they pay for a drug that would put them out of business b/c 1) it WORKs 2) It's short term. More than 1/2 of the FDA is made up of people who are either directly paid/have stock in the pharma co, they do NOT make decisions that are based on the people they represents best interests.

  • @jarileigh You certainly sound like one LOL! :-D

  • @louisgeorge Sorry, I don't know what you are responding to!

  • @jarileigh I was responding to the part where you said you were a psychologist. :-)

  • Se Lo dedico A Mi hija del alma y del corazon Antonella la Poko ,,, te amo Mi Amor

  • RIP Shannon Hoon

  • The Bee Girl is looking hot now in her 20s.  TMZ has a picture of her.

  • I hate the bee girl.

  • @lemzkies18 I am the bee girl.

  • @Sporkzeranza :D I hate you in a good way.

  • I cant explain how sad I get when I watch shannon before he was heavy into coke. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE TO DIE

  • All I can say is that my life is pretty gay, i like watchin the boys with their tupays, and all they want me to do is suck a titty or two, but i like my point of view cuz it's gay, its so gay, just want someone to rape me, or just take me on a date, i just need to keep my buttcheeks in shape today, so spoon with me and we'll have it gay.

  • @MrJollyballs3000 ~ So...lets' get this straight...Are you gay? Just gimme a straight answer 'MrBallsyJaws'!!! - Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask you... Do you sometimes, kinda-sorta, get off via the struggles of constipation?

  • One of the best Fucking Songs I have ever heard.

  • I was in my late teens (18 or 19) when this guy killed himself......

    what a fuckin waste.......still makes me sad.......

    what a waste......of life....of talent....

    suicide is selfish......

  • @Restless0ne  Shannmon Hoon died as a result of an accidental overdose,He was actually on his way to recovering when that happened.And yes,it's very sad & a great waste.

  • @Restless0ne Yeah according to Wikipedia he died of a cocaine overdose and it caused him to have a heart attack. I checked the source as well. Not suicide, but an accidental overdose. It was certainly a preventable death, very sad. I really feel bad for his family.

  • @Restless0ne He didn't kill himself you fucknut. Get your facts straight.

  • @Restless0ne he OD'ed on coke. don't think he did it on purpose, but still selfish maybe...

  • I grew up listening to this song. Never knew the name of it until 2 or 3 years ago. EVERY C.D. I burn this song is on it.  I am obsessed...

  • i was 12-years-old in love with shannon hoon. now im 21:)

  • i wanna a lil hippy band like this!!

  • I'm from Boston....a cold....cold town....there is simply no better feeling than driving down the California coast in a convertible listening to this song.

  • I could totally relate to that bee.

  • love this song!!

  • every time that first riff hits. i cannot help but smile

  • fucking ads

  • One of the greatest songs of all time.

  • i remember being in a car seat when this first came out...it reminds me of being little and happy. not to mention its an awesome song. Long live Shannon Hoon and long live the 90s.

  • probably worst video ever ha. but an excellent song ! fun

  • @Nicholas91Fusion do you like boys?

  • Awesome song, awesome vid 10/10

  • Feels like that mini-jam out they start to have at 2:22 could of expanded into something epic if they just kept jammin out.

  • man! he's high as shit in this video!

  • ha, i remember the first time seeing this music video a while ago on mtv

  • shannon was on the brink of stardom and what does he do? he od's in his trailer, before a show....heroin is a hell of a drug...

  • where the hell is this bee place at? i want to live there so bad.

  • R.I.P. Shannon Hoon

    Only the good die young.

    I'm a Reggae singer and I'm trying to quit drugs. It's a battle that you only have yourself to blame for. I feel really bad for Shannon's family and band mates. What an amazingly unique voice. I started doing drugs before I started playing music...so it's been a long struggle for me.

    Stay positive people. I wish you all a beautiful day.

  • @JQuile0881 good luck bud, even though it's an up hill battle I have faith i you and you should too.

  • @mike5368 thanks brotha...always good to see normal people on here....so much negativity in the world

  • @JQuile0881 "Normal" is boring though: I like seeing fun eccentric people, the kind of people who do something out of the ordinary, the kind of people who make life interesting!

    Personally.

  • @Cindercheth eccentric funny people are what I consider normal so good on ya bro

  • @mike5368 faith of any kind has always been hard for me to embrace.....I think I'll be okay, thank you so much for that little message I really mean it. Little things get us all through our day.

  • @JQuile0881 Good vibrations to you, my brother. The hardest battles will reward you wiht the greatest victories. Hang on!

  • @caesardias I'm just tryin' to get my chi in stride today....started going to counseling last week! I'm actually going to an N.A. meeting today.....the little things get me through my day...ALWAYS have.....i've lost a lot of people that I've been a jerk to and I'm just trying to build up good relationships again...have a good day man

  • @JQuile0881 VERY NICE SENTENCE

  • @JQuile0881 Weed is the only thing I've ever used. It's amazing though. I'd try hallucinogenics though. Hope you get off the harder ones. You have the will power. You just gotta believe in yourself. I wish you luck.

  • @JQuile0881 ~ I'd say...be accountable, but leave blame alone. You simply have an opportunity for growth. Cease it. ~ What drug are you wanting to kick? Either way, you're good enough. You can depend on that.

  • @JQuile0881 any drug addiction is a struggle hang in dont give up it gets better not easier but better

  • @JQuile0881 keep it up man. im 18 and trying to get clean after 5 years of the needle . i beleive in you

  • @JQuile0881 keep it up man. im 18 and trying to get clean after 5 years of the needle .  i beleive in you

  • @JQuile0881 it sucks...I know....the newest trick they've got these days is putting you on psychotropic meds when you're in rehab...anti-depressants to cure the "cocaine blues." who the hell isn't going to feel depressed after binging on cocaine for years and then stopping? more drugs is not the answer...the new drugs they put you on are even worse and more addictive than the illegal drugs...At least Shannon died with his dignity...Shannon will always be forever young...

  • Man, you must tu be strong right now. Don't forget that you are amazing and unique without drugs. That crap only make us slaves for entire live. Congratulations for doing that change of live. Good luck

  • @JQuile0881 Every one is wishing you a successful recovery.

  • @JQuile0881 hang in there, i was hook for years and i battled it, it was tough but I did it, and now Im happy with me, I love music, I even play the guitar, use your own drugs to enjoy it man, dont give up.......

  • @JQuile0881

    Keep going m8!

  • @JQuile0881 stay strong for your freinds and family. i wish you the best of luck.

  • @JQuile0881 I wish you the best! I have a daughter in jail because of drugs. Don't give up! 

  • @JQuile0881 You have a beautiful day also...love your soul and wishing nothing but the best...may you always be happy and heads up...Tammy from Ks.

  • That poor little girl. You can't help but feel sorry for her.

    Shannon had a great voice, too bad he died so young. R.I.P. Shannon Hoon

  • i think matt cardle should sing a slower version of this on x factor

  • woo 90's hippies

  • The song of my life!!!

  • About the millionth time I've heard/watched this, and I still think it's powerful. R.I.P. Shannon

  • this song helps me get closer to jesus

  • @slash7934 for fucks sakes

  • @cmiller8789 I agree.

  • @cmiller8789 lol

  • @FlyingFooBalls That's what I thought! I was like 2005!? No! I remember it being 90s.

  • this song isnt from 2005 its from 1993

  • Never knew this come out only a few years ago. Man this sounds like the good old rock music back in the 70's, 80's 90's.

  • I love this song

  • it''s a pity he died :( he could have made more fantastic music......

  • the mighty bee?

  • This song makes me feel so full of life.

  • hoon hated the bumble bee girl.

  • Shannon Hoon was great in concert back in the day. To bad that he is gone from this world.

  • God D@mn. Good tunes..

  • Is it true that Hoon was best friends with Layne Staley, the lead singer of Alice in Chains? I've heard that from a couple people I was just wondering if it was true or not.

  • @stlhockey16

    Not sure, but he was good friends with Chris Cornell

  • Are these guys Blind?

  • @LudicrousScotty101 :-O no parallitics....

  • I used to get high in the 1970's, this song was after my time, but I was thinking what a great song it would have been to get high and listen to back in the old days. Now I read the comments and apparently someone in the band died from drugs. What a buzzkill and how sad :(

  • @clintonearlwalker yeah the lead singer shannon hoon died from a drug overdose.

  • @erikturner21 Thanx for that, as I said this band was after my time. This is a great song, and it's sad when people die young. I still can't believe Britany Murphy from the film "Girl Interrupted" is dead. I remember when Elvis Pressly, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, etc. died.

    At least their music lives on.

  • One of the best video clips I've ever seen.

  • love it

  • This song is so awesome. It makes me so happy lol

  • Seriously everybody...He died from a cocaine overdose!!! It's everywhere! If you do any research on him, you will see in various places that you check that he did in fact die of a cocaine overdose on their bus, he had crawled up into his bunk where he died. It's a very, very sad story but true! I just wanted to sum that up for everyone who wants to know. RIP Shannon, you will be forever loved!

  • I knew Shannon in the late 80's.....I worked with his mother as a bartender. Shannon was frequently brought to the club by the police, because of various things.....sad his life was so short.

  • Ummm no smack was not his drug of choice, it was crack in which he over dosed from. Yea yea smack is what they all die from but if you READ about his life and get your facts str8 rather than listening to that guy who knows this guy who ate so much lsd that he thinks he is a big glass of OJ. Then you would know that yes he OD'ed from crack!

  • that's what happens when you realize what life really is. you get depressed.

  • Poor guy. I would have really like to have seen more out of him...

  • A talented voice, and a GREAT guy...gone shortly after this sonng was made.): Im honor of himm!<33

  • Isnt it Tyra Banks?

  • Everyone listens to this song theres alot of music they thats really good

  • wait which one i shannon hoon

  • @crazyage83 the lead singer

    

  • @providenceflims sucks he died...
