Wow! That's a great song with a lot of meaning! Shame on me that I didn't know this song but thank God an actress mentioned it as her favorite one...I know it's stupid but at least I found it :)
whoever uploaded this is full of shit... It's a nice story, but I've been to his grave, and am looking at a photo of his marker taken with my own phone... It is inscribed as follows... " Richard Shannon Hoon Beloved Father And Son Sept 26 1967-Oct 21 1995" That is all, there are embellishments by countless fans, but that is the engravings... rip hoon man... teach the angels how to sing bro....
@4420Andrew theres a lower part. the top says what you wrote, the bottom says " 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" Google it dude, its true
Too often that's the price of genius, internal tourture. Without those feelings artists like Shannon Hoon wouldn't have the the fuel to their fire and would never have written the beautiful songs we all love. In many cases their success walks hand in hand with their doom.
We may never understand how much a person hurts inside, for one it may be nothing more than a bad day. For another the pain is enough every day to no longer want to live. We are all different, it is up to each of us to never judge, but to only Love.
Why do they have to damage themselves? And why do they have to die young?
Geniuses are the most misunderstood because only a few geniuses and real artists existed amongst us. They're the most understood because most of the individuals in this planet are just plain simple. Scared of doing things since they're being dictated by what the society agrees with.
Why do they have to damage themselves????? They're young, talented, beautiful, popular, people love them, they write their feelings on a paper,put them in their songs and then, people just sing the songs like they're prayers!!!!!!!!! Is there something more magical than this???????????
@ba773r1na i don't know why they die so young but its true what they say " Too often people die with there music still in them. often because they are getting ready to live". I love shannon but he left a new born daughter behind!!! Makes me sad to the core:(
@malachymcnulty Yes. Everything is sad. The fact that he died young, he actually killed himself, he left the music behind him is sad... but the worst is that his daughter was a new born baby when he died... she didn't even know him... THIS is really sad :(
@ba773r1na he didnt exactly kill himself it was drugs he went to rehab but when he went on tour the rehab dude went with but left i the middle of the tour
@eminemluver888 Yeah, I know.. The matter is not to start doing it... If you start you're 95% lost... Then you just can't control yourself.. And it's not only your mind addicted, it's your body, too.
@eatmybreads22 Yeah, but really, I wish Shannon Hoon was alive and happy, with his daughter (who definitely needs her father), without drugs or any kind of addiction and I don't care if I wouldn't have this song or Blind Melon's music. And I believe the same for every rockstar who's dead or alive, but addicted to drugs or alchool. it's really sad... :(
@gnrsmith96 There are a couple of words switched around here and there, but that's okay. Thanks for posting, this is one of the better ones with lyrics bro! Ya know, this song has literally saved lives!
Thank you for leaving this little piece of you behind Shannon. It's helped me through it all.
