  • Blind Melon makes me cry, man... And I love it!

  • i fell in love with blind melon today <3

  • @MrBallinbigp45 thats beautiful

  • BLIND MELON FOREVER!

  • Shannon will always be the love of my life, I love what I love and love you forever and never ever ever blind melon melon will not shannon hoon blin

  • excelt

  • Ill close my eyes really tight and make you all go away

    Make it all go away

  • Shannon had too much love for this world...he was a prophet.

  • this man(and not to mention the rest of the group) had a shitton of talent and enough rawness to truly make this band stand out forever even though they were only a footnote....

  • R.I.P my sweet brother

  • Happy Hoon Day everyone :)

    Thanks for the tunes Shannon, they're the soundtrack of my life. 16 years today....

  • Anyone have info from the pic at 2:06? Or where I can find it

  • @bananas994 ~ I no longer have it or id send it to you. Sorry

  • @bananas994 print screen it and edit the rest of the page out :P

  • amazing rock band. music would be different today if shannon were still here...

  • my favorite Blind Melon song ever

    the pic at 1:37 is soo dr34my ❤

  • I don't know why, but this song reminds me of pepsi.

  • @Uzingniga20 I LOVE PEPSI!!

  • One of the best songs out of a great time in music: the mid 90's. It seemed like we were getting back on track musically since the sixties and then everybody died or stopped again. It was too bad kurts death overshadowed shannon's...

  • we still love u shannon

  • @MissesJoplin <3 always

  • I don't know if I'll get tired of this song but I've been listening to it about twice a day for the past week. Love everything about it.

  • i found myself lost to it, tapped in all possible ways, and jammed to it perfectly. thought about passing it on, then realized others wouldnt appreciate it at the degree i would want them to, so ill keep it to myself. make you all go away. ......away

  • Eggs

  • WHY CANNOT ANYONE MAKE ANY MUSIC THIS GOOD THESE DAYS??? WHAT THE FK HAPPENED TO OUR MUSICAL HERITAGE?

  • @LetThereBeRocker

    what does "our heritage" mean

  • does anyone know how to play this on guitar?

  • @TheSkankinhippie

    A simplified version.

  • @kurtwschnelker which is? haha

  • @kurtwschnelker wat do you mean... are you saying in relation to the woodstock video? this is the studio version.... have you seen this live a bunch?

  • @Bonzoandthemadhatter

    The version I play I learned from a tab that has circulated the internet for years. It sounds pretty good, but not a 100%.

    I've only seen them once and that was with Travis. Can't remember if they did this song, but they were pretty good.

  • 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

  • @onepoet63 ~Beautiful! Thank You!!

  • @Wench098 You are very welcome. I am extremely happy that you shared the video because Blind Melon is one of the best bands there was and will ever be who were drastically underrated. Blind Melon wrote, sang and played with complete heart and soul. They were true to the music, themselves and their fans. Shannon loved life! His beauty and incredible talent inside and out is sadly missed, can never be replaced and will never be forgotten. ..........Peace and God Bless to you

  • @onepoet63 damn man, the song is harsh enough, why you gotta bring more tears? ;)

  • Close my eyes really realy tight and make you all go away YAYAH!!!!!!

  • I LOVE the pics w his Baybay!! Beautiful disaster!!

  • @shenked You are right i can not find any video of Soup from that letterman show. I did however find the video where he changed the words at the end and did not say "I'll pull the trigger" it was Live in Candada in 1995, i cant say for sure why he changed the words but this show was not much more than a month before he passed away.

  • @shenked i am pretty sure it was played.  Because i remember he changed to words at the end of the song. He didn't say "pull the trigger and make you all go away" but i guess i could be wrong i may have read it somewhere or something.

  • This song is so amazing. Shannon Hoon is such an enfluence in my life. I put a quote he said in my middle school year book.

  • I wish it was that simple...just close my eyes and make it all go away. Greatest band. Rip Shannon

  • Beautiful Song

    Rest In Peace Brother

  • i heard this song at my uncles funeral a few years back. ): he committed suicide. he told me that he was going to make it all go away. R.I.P. Rick

  • :( This song makes me cry>>>

  • Who ever can dislikes this dosent like bitter beans.

  • his voice makes everything feel better, I listen to Blind Melon every time I consider doing something stupid to stop myself :)

  • now tell me whats wrong you see ever ones gone thats hits me like a ton of bricks i think he means when you are all one you have to deal with who you really are and if you dont like yourself you cant runway

  • Blind melon is so underrated i don't get it, they were fucken GREAT! They're up there with some of the biggest bands.........in my book.

  • @imsohappywaitnoimnot I thought that to, but who knows?

  • shannon you make tears fall...

  • shannon knew the secret that life has been keeping and when you see it becomes hard to see the point in continuing,for those who cant see dont try because if you are truly empathic everything effects you in the worst way it can fill you with hopelessness knowing that life is in metaphor all a bowl of bitter beans but what he didnt see, a reason to go on, a reason is all he needed but whats gone is gone its not coming back.find yourself a reason and dont leave others that empty feeling smile live

  • Every so often in life, a talent comes along to touch the souls that are willing. Not many songwriters can pull off connecting with the listener so they can turn it to relate to thier own lives. Hoon did this, and did it well. RIP.

  • one out of really a few songs i know that are perfect.

  • this song is the most fucked up way to cry for help...

    Shannon is missed...

  • not sure why but ive always kinda thought this song was about kurt cobain,as could be interpreted n many ways

  • @sxrider4700 In the book a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other one of the band mates (maybe christopher thorn I'm not sure and can't find the page that says it) says that shannon wrote the end lyrics about kurt cobains suicide. "I'll pull the trigger and I'll make it all go away.."

  • We miss you shannon!

  • Shannon. You never really realized how loved, needed and now missed you are. I miss you brother.

  • "And I'll pull the trigger and make it all go away"......I have no words to describe how deep this song is...

  • @behwal when he sang this song live on letterman he changed the words because kurt cobaine had died that same day or the day b4 i cant remember. The question mark on his head was also a symbol of kurts death question WHY? also question himself and the problems he was having with drugs..

  • awesome

  • lo que menos importa es su cara...y la ponen cada 3 segundos

  • I'm so addicted to this song... Too bad I'll never be able to see Shannon Hoon singing it on a show... =/ ... R.I.P. dude!

  • this song makes me sad, but its gonna make me even more sad after a while

  • such a beautiful song :-)

  • i think this is not grunge.. they are hippies

  • @calvin799 I agree. It's feel good music. Lovely energy.

  • @calvin799 I don't think there is much of a difference. Besides clothes.

  • this song has really been helping me out lately. a friend of mine commited suicide the other day. i've had people close to me pass away, before, but this girl was also someone i fell in love with. and this song just reminds me of her, so much. and i just wish she could've just closed her eyes, really really tight and made them all go away. all of her problems go away. but she couldnt.

    RIP Miranda and Shannon Hoon

  • @KoRnKid2011 ~I so wish Miranda chose a different path. Im so sorry for this tremendous sad loss. You keep listening to music and talk to people about what you are suffering. SO SAD and Im so sorry !! ((HUGS))) RIP Miranda and Shannon

  • @Wench098 thank you, i wish she could have to, and re-reading this brought a tear to my eye. thank you, for posting this video.

  • @KoRnKid2011 sorry about your loss.

  • @KoRnKid2011 Thats bad man, i've lost a love before too, its horrible, hang in there

  • @KoRnKid2011 So sorry to hear about - a number of years ago a friend's GF committed suicide, i tried to help, and looking back I wish I had really done more to save her. We gotta try our best, some people have so many demons...and need a lot of lovin' and help. Best of luck.

  • @KoRnKid2011 brought tears to my eyes

  • @KoRnKid2011 gdamn hate posts like this. don't dump your cliche' problems on us.

  • @KoRnKid2011 I know you posted this a long time ago, but I went through the same thing. It will get easier. Just think, at least they are hanging out together. Shannon and Miranda. :) Hope you are doing alright.

  • @KoRnKid2011 I feel your pain. RIP, Miranda, Roz, and Shannon Hoon

  • @HoboHero13 This song is on the Nico cd  :)

  • why isint this on the soup album? i bought the soup album yesterday and i wish this song was on it

  • @HoboHero13 ~This song is on Nico, Nico is the name of Shannon's son and the last album which was released after Shannon passed away I believe.

  • @Wench098 thanks for the info

  • @HoboHero13 ~YW :)

  • @Wench098 NICO is shannons little girl. i dont think he had a son.

  • @69sears69 ~Very true! My mistake ~Thanks!

  • @69sears69 this is one of my favs thank . i love this band

  • @HoboHero13 ~Nico is his daughter~not son (my bad) :D

  • @HoboHero13 Cause this video is misnamed

  • @KellimusMaximus bullshit

  • @richoandlisa Yeah, I was thinking of a different song, my bad.

  • @HoboHero13 i have 3 of his cds soups on one of the other cds.

  • SWEEEEEEEEEET!!

  • good job bro.. like it..

  • at 1 04 i use to have those airwalks!! haha what an awesome time it was..

  • Hoon. Absolutely beautiful voice. What a shame.

  • just awesome. one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands.

  • just noticed the 2nd half of this songs is a bit like a song from Placebo

  • @oozecandy you mean a song from placebo sounds a bit like this one ;D

  • favorite song<3

  • What an unforgetable, beautiful soul...who wrote melodic, pain-filled lyrics....love and miss you Shannon!! This is one of those songs that you can put on repeat at the office to get through your long, boring corporate day...I am so grateful that this is my generation of music....it doesnt get much better than this!!

  • @mis52layne i listen to this before work so it's stuck in my head all day, it keeps me sane !

  • Unforgettable......

  • Right on. Man my favorite shot is 1:37 &1:38. Man that is so cool.Great job Whench098! Great job. If you only knew how much you video moves me you would be that much more proud. Once again excellent

  • @Sawampbilly40 ~Thanks for commenting !! So glad you like it . Hard to believe Shannon has been gone almost 15 yrs. His music lives on....

  • @Sawampbilly40 i also love the picture at 1:37 !! shannon looks so happy there, on top of the world with his cool fuckin' genius band!

  • Right on

  • I was just explaining to my girlfriend about a few of my idols like shannon hoon and layne staley, mark lenegan.. this video and other fan vids like this made it awsome explaining how beautiful and brilliant these guys were and what an insperation they have been, thanks for this BLIND MELON SAVED MY LIFE!

  • From 2:30 onwards is probably the best bit of any song i know, it just makes me feel so warm and happy on the inside. This is what music is about!

  • I know I'm not the Vicky you made this for, but Thanks, I love Blind Melon too! :)

  • I mean don't cry tonight. My bad.

  • @Sawampbilly40 it's called dont cry, and yeah he is also on the video!

  • @Lukith66 yeah! That's right!Thanks for the correction.

  • @Lukith66 yeah! That's right!Thanks for the correction even though I had already corrected myself.When you get to my age nad you've done the things I have done you'll slip up too.

  • @Sawampbilly40 like "nad" instead of "and".

  • @Sawampbilly40 i understand, mate. I'm only 16.

  • @Lukith66 Thank you Lukith66. Your alright. Hang on to your youth bud. A word of advise. I lost my leg from smoking cigarettes so if you smoke, for your healths sake stop. It sucks being 1 legged.

  • @Sawampbilly40 oh shit ive been smoking for two years! Im sorry to hear, my nan is also one legged. I bet it sucks, atleast you can still hear Hoon's beautiful music!

    But as long as I have my arms I'm fine, since I'm a guitar player (:

  • @Lukith66 Think about the money you could put in a savings account instead of spending the $ on cigarettes. What are they? $5.00 a pack. 365 times 5 is $1825'0 and your 16 so in 10 years that's $18.250.00! By the time your 26 you could buy a sweet ride or just keep saving. $35.00 a week put away adds up dude.

  • @Sawampbilly40 im british so its £ to me (: i know, it's a terrible thing moneywise. also I'm a pot smoker, so add another 10 on that a day. I do plan on sorting my life out, I hop to get a good job, save up some cash, get a plane to los angeles and make a living, chase my dreams of being te next shannon hoon and blessing this world with proper music (: thanks for the advice dude, most people are waiting to see me crash and burn! :D

  • Beautiful! Did you know that Shannon sang background vocals for the G & R song Don't close your eyes tonight and you can hear him if you listen carefully. I did'nt know that until reading his wiki page.

  • Beautiful!

  • Man, I miss that band.

  • I watch this atleast once a day.

  • written for Cobain. great song.

  • I'd like this song to be one that's played at my funeral wake.

  • Close my eyes and make you all go away... really wonderfull

  • beautiful.

  • this dieing day

  • ive fallen asleep to blind melon for years. bad ass band... pull the trigger and make it all go away..

  • MY FAVE SONG EVER! i know big call!

  • @alihaire

    Very big call. But big enough to agree with. Mr. Hoon is a great man, and this is a great song.

  • Has to be one of my fave Blind Melon songs. Everything is perfect about this song.

  • I love this song so much. Shannon is such an angel.

  • favorite melon

  • shit this is a GREAT song

  • I love this one! Is mine, is mine, is only mine! I feel I'am the only one who understands it! Do you feel the sorrow... the desperation? You don't know how it feels... "I'll make it all go away"! I wish you coul feel it... very deep inside... this very song!

  • tobiaswedin I think that clip is from an episode of Saturday Night Live.

  • Shannon hoon has the best smile best voice best everything RIP hoon

  • Shannon Hoon has the best smile ever.....RIP

  • pray this works out well. I love you everybody.

  • i listen to blind mellon every day and they will forever play a significant role on my life. most bands come and go. im a mellon head for life

  • @pburke1siu1 I thought I was the only one who still listens to them everyday. I love all their stuff, but "Sleepyhouse" is the song I want to die to.  The only music that's played a bigger role in my life than Blind Melon is Pink Floyd. Both, Gods of Music.

  • @pburke1siu1 I know what are you talking about. I love as much as you do Blind Melon... they marked my life too!

  • what performance is the clip at 0:25 from?

  • Gives me chills... I sing it at the top of my lungs!

  • I've grown up listening to this fabulous band. literally, since I was born. thier sound is like smooth honey (and I sound like a twat wilst I say that - and "whilst" while I'm at it - but I don't give a monkey's uncle ;p)

  • a couple years ago a close family friend took his own life and i would listen to this song over and over again. im only 17 and starting listen to blind melon maybe 5 or so years ago but they have really inspired me and got me through tough times. thanks you <3

  • a god amongst mortals. i used to listen to their music every day when I was at school. my friends and i wanted to play just like them. he died. layne died. jeff died. my idols fell. i've never loved music with the same passion since. i adore this song.

  • @Kropotkinskaya I know niether have I, music was great back then, I just wish we all knew how long thoes people were going to be around to share their brilliance with us, other wise I would have enjoyed the time more, there's nothing like this, Shannon Hoon was great.

  • this song is so beautiful.

  • this guy had some talent... pity he is gone cause i reckon they would have been huge...

  • ohh yea no doubt

  • Blind Melon, 1 of the greats, Shanon Hoon, most unique voice, ever, and a brilliant writer.

  • I miss the 90s, why can't they just come back?

  • youre not alone : )

    discovering too

  • so im a huge Pearl jam fan and have just started "discovering" blind melon and Mad Season and THANK GOD i have! cant get enough of this song in the past day or soo..got it on repeat! haha...thank you for posting and spreading the goodies
