im going to go to his grave in lafayette, Indiana...ill bring a joint and smoke half of it with him...then leave it in a plastic container with a note that says to hit this a few times for shannon.
@TheBlindWatermelon my dad was his mom's neighbor. he said everyone so often her and a bunch of friends and fans would go to his grave with candles or some shit. haha get in contact and go with them
@jakenfriedlove Been to the grave, near Mulberry, IN, I think, its been a long time since I was there. Always cigarettes, flowers, and other paraphernalia there.
you can't mention greatest bands of all time without mentioning them. though their career was short lived and not to the success of many other less deserving bands, they still live on within me.you can hear shannon's pain in every syllable of every song. incredible
@TCharlieA any rock fan with half a brain can easily see the skill this band possessed with shannon. their live performances alone should show that this is one of the top rock bands to ever exist. better than most of the overrated "legendary" rock n roll bands that are constantly praised by the 60's and 70's generation
@nashnwo1234 This band loved the 70's its obey that the 70's is their biggest influence..You need to listen to some of those 70's bands you think this band did not love..Funny they even dressed like hippies..The video for No rain he has got flowers and def 70style jeans on..Believe what you want?This group loved the 70's music and it def had a huge influence on them..Peace and have a good 2012
@TCharlieA u gotta be wacked in the head man shannon hoon is one of the best vocalists of the 90s and the entire band was highly skilled in there own way so saying theyre so-so is the dumbest thing ive ever heard yeah maybe a few of their songs arent the best in your opinion but they were talented thats a fact just because u dont find it amazing. So go listen to string quartet or mingus hahahahahahah
@poziteevo This was recorded during the Sippin' Time Sessions, which was an EP that never got released. While the band liked this song, they felt it was too political and wouldn't fit in with the other songs on their debut album.
With every black choking for breath and every inch closer to death. Her hands are held out for you. You said the reasons we're in the cities that we all made was that we rage our poor Mother. Poor Mother. Poor Mother. Now that she's leaving and she's thrown off all that she gave, we dig the grave of our poor Mother! The grass ain't growing in my front yard, no. Poor Mother.
This song is awesome.. LOVE IT.. Blind melon for me, will always ROCK.. I miss you Shannnon Hoon.. Rest and be at peace, and know you are sadly missed by all!!!
honestly i just feel so grateful to be a blind melon fan... people really just don't even know what they are missing out on... R.I.P shannon you beautiful bastard!!!!!!
Love this tune only really heard it a handful of times, an just barely for the first time about 2 months ago. I've read about it in their books an biographies also before I heard it. It's too bad it never made it to one of the three main albums put out:(
i cant believe that the only song that was a huge hit by this band was no rain...all there other songs rock and this coming from a 15 yearold who is into rap and what not is realy saying sumthing....music industrys in the 90s were apparently retarded .....R.I.P. Hoon
Yay for "0 dislikes"!!!!!!!!!!!!! This band is so unbelievably underrated! I bet 90% of people who say that like 'Blind Melon' have only ever heard 'No Rain'. lol. Another GREAT band? Alice in Chains (when Layne Staley was the singer of course)... god, "Nutshell', 'Rooster', 'Down in a Hole', and so many more were so unbelievably amazing! I just got a stencil-esque tat of Layne Staley on my forearm. (My 23rd Birthday present to myself on Dec.8th!) It's pretty cool... ;-)
Yah know I always ignored this stuff because it reminded me of guns n roses. I'm not into metal hair band shit. But with time this has grown on me like all of their music. Really, a hair band hippie song. Thats cool. Plus its got soul like crazy. I'm one with the world. Thank you shannon you always free my mind with your music man.
@rockdiva1983 Yeah I deffinately know that. This song is different from their usual sound though. Its harder. At FIRST it reminded me of guns n roses (that sort of sound). But this song has grown on me. Its really beautiful. The lyrics are so meaningful. This song sounds like no other song. I should have never second guessed this song. I love this band. I didn't mean to sound like I was saying blind melon sounded like guns n roses. Blind melon had a sound all their own.
@newrealization12 i didnt get it at first, like it was another blind melon song, but then with time you come to realise that this song is incredibly well written. it's deepand beautiful and probably one of shannon's most soulful pieces. I love every melon song
With every black choking for breath and every inch closer to death. Her hands are held out for you. You said the reasons we're in the cities that we all made was that we raped our poor Mother Now that she's leaving and she's thrown off all that she gave, we dig the grave of our poor Mother! The grass ain't growing in my front yard, no Poor Mother
The skies have darkened and the seas have dried. Your honest ways have turned to lies. Your hands of promise turned to hands of pain. You take for granted the life that God create The life that God created. The frost and flowers Mother gave to you, the muffled whispers bleeding true. And it doesn't matter what kind of eyes your looking through. Do you see our Mother's dying? Here's a picture for you. I'm gonna paint this picture for you!
If you find it let me know. I just heard about A Rare Collection like 3 days ago. I heard theres like 30 friggin songs on it. I gotta get this shit. =) PEACE!
