[WhateverNevermind00]

can anyone tell me wat that tattoo says?

[crazydazy33]

@WhateverNevermind00 1st half : "GOD'S PRESENCE" : by Blanche Bridge on 2/11/1884 If my path be smooth or rugged If with thorns or roses strewn Where I go the Father seeith And He will leave me not alone If I take the wings of morning far within the giant sea Even there His hand will leave me Even there my God will be

[crazydazy33]

The tattoo is Shannon's arm

[crazydazy33]

@WhateverNevermind00 2nd half: Though the gloom of night be round me Though I cannot see my way Yet the Lord will see and guide me Because unto Him the night is day If my thought are good or evil Set me think to hide them not there is one above all seeing And He beholdth every thought And ever more my eyes beholds me And all my ways to Him are known And His loving arms enfolds me He will leave me not alone

Calling the original version "Mainstream" is crazy, that song is far from mainstream. I agree with Stearnsifornication, there's one for when your happy and one for when your sad.

[MaXCKY]

@zippizlaa Mainstream just generally means acceptable, the music that happens to be in the consciousness of a populace in a given era. Certainly it doesn't sound like it should be mainstream, but No Rain was a huge hit, therefore it was mainstream. It was definitely a poppy tune too, albeit psychedelic.

[AlexTheElusive]

I like the other version better. This one's too depressing.

[discgolfinrude]

@AlexTheElusive

As far as the lryics go, this best represttttnts it. The originaly was almost a sarcastic way to sing the song

[druley09]

@AlexTheElusive HAVE YOU LISTENED to the lyrics?! This is a depressing song :P But amazing.

[AlexTheElusive]

@druley09 I was stating my opinion, I don't care about yours. Besides, why comment on a comment I made 3 months ago?

[middlefuckinfinger]

[Ogyaf]

That picture is the cover to Blind Melon's album "Nico"

@middlefuckinfinger

r u serious,,

[HoosierJuggalette]

This is the way it should have been released! RIP Shannon!

[Stearnsifornication]

Both versions are great, one to play when your happy, and another when your depressed.

[xBillyTheKidx]

i never want to listen to the mainstream version ever again after hearing this.

[Vemnar123]

[stuff12327]

@xBillyTheKidx

[QQQQQQQQQQ1978]

Best version ever...
