  • lil wyane isn't dead cause he sucks balls!

  • why only 2.6 million view ? WHY 97 DISLIKE ??

  • I'll never look at bacon the same way again.. *D Love you, Shannon!

  • please, next time, burn one down for me over there ;)

  • I can't believe this has almost 3 million views! I thought I was like the last person in the world that still listened to Blind Melon. I picked up their self titled album about 10 years ago at a flea market and it has remained one of my all time favorites, especially this song.

  • this tune changed my life forever. a true classic.

  • I named my cat Hoon because he enjoys the beautiful voice of Shannon Hoon. Sometimes I think he takes his name quite seriously, and gets high, just like Shannon Hoon.

  • there honestly should be more songs like this...

  • Easy just to sit and groove to. :P

  • RIP Shannon you are missed my friend.

  • this music is straight marshall-tucker band's cant you see

  • PEACE 

  • he's a real good music artist.. i mean not just an artist.. he's a legend for me. like john lennon, bob marley, kurt cobain etc... very underrated band... so sad he died early...i hope he is in a right place now... RIP Shannon... You are truly missed sir...

  • :' )

  • I just want to WRITE MY WORDS on the FACE of this top comment. . . :-) peace.

  • Comment removed

  • Drop by my channel and have a listen to our stuff. peace & stay cool.

  • This is by far one of the best written and performed songs in the history of man.

  • Nealry five years ago this song literally changed me and basically saved my life. Shannon Hoon in my opinion was the most inspirational song writer, vocalist and all around person since John Lennon and there will never be another who will hold a candle close to him. I could never explain how many times hearing this song and many other Blind Melon songs have helped me through life and seeing the better side of things. I love you Shannon R.I.P. friend.

  • @CharlieEst1981 Well he pissed no my buddy Larry in Vancouver. Larrys claim to fame. Was never mad just ahappy Shannon pissed on him best TRUE story he can rehash his whole life. Kudos tyo Shannons piss.

  • SINGING ABOUT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE,SADLY 1 YEAR LATER FOUND DEAD IN THE TOUR BUS.RIP SHANNON ,YOU WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD.

  • One of my favorite songs ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i woke up today singing this song

  • un poco de buena musica para inspirarme porque no mas no se como empezar el trabajo :(

  • 90 People should go pop a bunch of sleeping pills and go drive super fast in their cars. Hello Everyone... I just did a brand new cover... and this was the song of choice, please tell me what you think or subscribe If you really enjoyed yourself. Thank You!

  • so far this is the most UNDERRATED band i've ever known!!

    RIP Shannon we miss yah bro

  • i wanna write my words on the face of today before they paint it

  • Great fuckin song,from Arkansas n jamming out to him

  • Perfection-An instance of excellence

    I`ve always been perplexed by Mr. Moon, like a double-edged sword

    He could compose the purest form of music after a coke binge,yet the same element that helped him also destroyed him,that element being the evolution of narcotics.The 90s were the peak of marijuana,cocaine,and heroin sales, and here this man who got to perform with Ozzy Osbourne and GunsNRoses,used cocaine without any disregard to his health,and therefore succumbed to it.Listen to this song.

  • @TheEH3 Its Hoon

  • Great lyrics there! I was looking for a good song I could cover for an acoustic song played by my protagonist in the short film I'm recording!

  • This song would be great for GTA V's rock station.

  • auto-play brought me here

  • Stay gold Shannon, stay gold...

  • Shannon Hoon- word.

  • Why do heroin addicts all dance the same? Morrison, Hoon, Weiland etc...

  • @crawdaddyjpops Morrison was an alcoholic

  • @crawdaddyjpops He o'd smoking crack.

  • this song sounds like ccr. nice!

  • great band not to fond of this song tho

  • JEOPARDY!

  • i had to do a choir powerpont presintatin involving a dead band member and brought a song from the band i presented mine and brought the song with me... 5 minutes later the whole class started listening to BLIND MELON

  • que lindo tema por diosss!!

  • the song is f'n deep dude

  • don't wanna sound like a faggot, but shit man, this song hits my heart.

  • I just loooooooooove this!

  • 90 people are afraid of change.

  • i drive past his grave everyday!! Stop and smoke one with him!

  • @cobrakid05 you lucky bastard

  • @cobrakid05 do it once for me, i'd do it if i lived in that part of the states.

  • @cobrakid05 oh!thats scary

  • @cobrakid05 yeah isnt he buried in Dayton Cemetary? I live Near Grand Rapids, Michigan though if i am ever in the area i would come see him

  • @cobrakid05 Ive been down there too. I live in Fort Wayne. I had the good fortune of meeting him in Chicago in 94 after WoodStock ( was there too) And he was the most genuine person Id ever met at that time. So open, and friendly to me and my friends. That experience drew me closer to not only his music, but to him as a person. I still feel sadness when I think of losing him. Does the Vigil still take place every year like it use to? Ive been out of the loop recently.

  • <<<<< blind melon fan! love this song..love the band. love the video and everything about it :)

  • there should be a "Love" button for this track

  • 'keep on dreaming boy, because when you stop dreaming it's time to die'

  • Gives my goosebumps every single time I hear your voice shannon. Un-fucking-believeable

  • When I listen to shannon's voice, all my problems are forgotten and I just think about life in its pureness:)

  • @rjegas Yeah man, i feel the same.

  • Blind Melon... Most Peaceful Music I've Ever heard in my Life, On those days were you don't feel like doing Much, Just plug in the Earphones and, Tune out the World :)

  • i love playin this song and everyone loves to hear it. just wish i could hit high notes lol. still i sing my heart out. PEACE!

  • Like if you knew Shannon Hoon sang backup vocals on Guns N' Roses "Don't You Cry"

  • grandi i blind melon!!!

  • Gold never looked so good. =)

  • i agree........ so sad. I lost my brother. I dedicate this to him. We miss u T.J.

  • underrated? C'mon blind melon went to play in WOODSTOCK how the fuck is that underrated? :P this is a great band

  • @Gitarp

    cause they deserved more

  • No one has ever posted a negative comment about Blind Melon. There is a reason for that, there is nothing bad you could say about them. I've was listening to them before No Rain even hit the shelves. I could not belive the sound of this band. There will never be another group like them. If I had one wish it would not to be rich, live a long healthy life, or to be famous; it would be to bring Shannon back healthy and happy!

  • @jasonlech1

    The critics were really harsh on the band. I was a little shocked, but then I remembered, critics also didn't love Led Zeppelin.

  • this song has helped me through some rough times. because you have to change, like he says. life is hard.

  • LO MEJOR DE LOS 9O I LIKE

  • fuck it hes in a better place anyhow , a place where people dont remove their comments

  • This song is about beating heroin addiction. look it up before you say otherwise :)

  • I've been listening to Blind Melon since i was 14 and still haven't met a fan. Pretty sad.

  • keep talkin smack about jd and your going to get yourselves a cambridge city ass whoopin

  • Why they ruin my favourite part?

    

  • Why God??? Shannon... This world miss you....

  • 2.5 Million and only 87 ##### , Not bad God Bless, Shannon, WE LOVE YOU!!!!

  • rip Shannon Hoon

  • Such a great band. Love No Rain but that video really hurt these guys They became the bee band. This was always my favorite song of theirs and I still have it my regular workout rotation...find myself singing it in the gym...um, a bit embarrassing sometimes but who cares.

  • @scottandrenae I agree, if anybody ever recognizes the band's name, that's the only thing they know. But keep singing that song and i will too!

  • Entourage brought me here

  • I don't think it was feeling it was the

  • I remember being just a little kid, hearing music like this on the radio, out of my sister's stereo, and how much I loved it. Being four or five years old, but loving the way music evoked feeling. I still love it today, and can't stand listening to music that was not created by true feeling. Spread the word about this stuff, keep it alive. we owe it to ourselves.

  • I was sat in my backroom one day with the Xbox 360 on using the Last.FM app, having got bored of listening to the bands I'd already sifted through I checked my "reccommended for you" tab, the first band to come up was surely enough, Blind Melon.

    I sat down and had a listen to these guys, the first song to play was Mouthful of Cavities, the next to play was Change. I've been absolutely in love with them ever since.

    That's how I got here, not through "JD". Shove your likes up your arse.

  • when life is hard you have to change

  • In my opinion, rock music nowadays is more about making money than self-expression and self-therapy through musicianship, which is a real shame because that sort of misses the whole point.

  • @danyalsan244 i.e. which bands?

  • I have always loved grunge & other early 90s music and only recently bought Blind Melon's self-titled CD on a whim....how they were not more famous, well-respected and critically acclaimed is a mystery to me...the music is sublime, the lyrics are deep and meaningful, and, like many of my favorite bands, they perfected the art of expressing the ugly side of life (i.e. depression, insecurity, etc.) in a positive and hopeful manner that certainly connected with me.

  • @danyalsan244 Get "Soup" too and if you don't know the Gits, listen to them too.. early 90's music is still my favorite so it makes me happy when someone can enjoy that style too.

  • @ipleasenothing I totally agree. They were written off as a one hitter for no rain, but their catalog has several gems like galaxie, change, and my fave Sleepyhouse

  • Just discovered this band/song a few days and this is possibly my favourite song. RIP Shannon Hoon

  • @Sophie1234A Welcome my friend.

  • "I know we can't all stay here forever, so I want to write my words on the face of today and they'll paint it." - Shannon Hoon was a very great poet in his music.

  • brought meself

  • underrated

    

  • Like if you brought yourself here

  • @jnntinsf now thats a comment:)

  • @jnntinsf this song is beautiful!

  • Comment removed

  • THE most underrated band of all time.

  • @ipleasenothing I know Right it so sad a lot of ppl dont ever get enough credit:(

  • @kozmicblues14 They had tons of credit. And that's why they have millions of views on their YouTube songs.

  • @purpledaisy1957 not as much as they deserved the only have 2 mil compared to the crap artists that get 50 ro 100 mil

  • @kozmicblues14 Oh, come on! You wouldn't be happy with 2 million views on one song? Not to mention the cds, and iTunes songs sold? They are fantastic, I agree. If SHoon would have survived his addiction illness, and been able to make a permanent "change", perhaps BM would have been here today with 50-100 million views on another video that we'll never know. We'll never know. So all we have is what they put out when they did.

  • @purpledaisy1957 yeah i guess i am happy with it i mean better than having only 100 views. it does make me feel pretty good that 2 mil+ ppl know blind melon rocks

  • @kozmicblues14 They do rock. And these are lyrics to remember always in life.

  • @ipleasenothing I agree Dinosaur Jr. is under rated too

  • @ipleasenothing one of the greatest bands of all time. R.I.P. Shannon Hoon

  • Better to burn out than to fade away. R.I.P shannon we miss you and love you,forever alive in our hearts and memory's.

  • The good die young-Shannon Hoon- rip:)

  • Comment removed

  • the talented always die to soon

  • Hey, does anyone know anything about this version - it's ever so slightly different than that which appears on the CD and I'm just wondering if this was recorded especially for the vid after the CD release, or if it's an older, pre-CD release version? - and thanks a boat load for posting!

  • my favorite band to come out of the 90s n one of my fav bands ever

  • Jesus gots handles

  • doors w broken locks

    

  • 16 years ago. an angel died a little bit over 13 months before i was born. HIs Name? Shannon Hoon. I wish i could hear all of the amazing music you are making in heaven. R.i.P Richard Shannon Hoon September 26, 1967- October 21,1995

  • I've never had a musician speak to me like Shannon Hoon. Thanks so much for the great music, it's been the soundtrack to my life. Thinking of you today....

    HAPPY HOON DAY!

  • Happy Shannon Hoon Day!

  • eternal life for the best band there ....... forever blind melon !!!!!!!!....É realmenti a melhorrrr

  • I'm celebrating the life of Shannon today..thank you for all these wonderful tunes, i'll get shitfaced and stoned in your honor today..RIP mate

  • why ''Blind Melon'' ????

  • Blind Melon is one of the most most underrated bands in histiory!!!!!!

  • Some people just burn so brightly in this life that their light goes out too soon and I wish he was alive still writing great tunes but I know he is now locked in time as one of my all time favorites and I never get sick of this song it reminds me of being a teenager in the 90s it was one of the best times of my life but like he says we have too change but never forget yesterday :)

  • bought this cd by accident, now its my fav.

  • what is that man stroking in the first clip? awesome...

  • Danneel harris brought me here

  • Today´s music has became almost a corporative thing.

    In the mainstream arena bands are like companies. Its all about the image and the look, 100% attitude, 0% music. The 2000´s and specially this new decade, musically speaking, is the worst decade of all music history.

  • The 90´s were sooo special and everybody says that. Not only in music but in visual and graphic arts as well. I lived that era as a teen and it was great, bands were awesome. I call the 90s the last generation of good rock bands.

    These guys knew how to write good songs, same as Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Screaming trees, Oasis, Stone Roses, Pulp and many many 90s bands from all over the world.

    ROCK WAS ALIVE. YOU COULD BREATH PURE ROCK N ROLL LIKE IN THE 60S OR 70S.

  • I don't about JD... Shannon Brought me Here !!

  • I Hate when people comment's are like ;' Thumbs up if X Person brought you here'. If you are listening to this Blind Melon song, it's because your heart brought you here, end conversation.

  • UNA DE MIS CANCIONES FAVORITAS, MUSICA Y LETRA QUE BUENOS RECUERDOS
