This album is criminally underrated. One of the best 90's albums imo
Easily
Brilliant record! Shannon was a wonderful guy, and a good friend. I always say that Kurt wasn't the biggest loss that rock music suffered in the 90s. Shannon, Jeff Buckley, and Bradley Nowell just hadn't had the same sort of ridiculous success right out of the gate, but the talent was just overflowing with these guys. I miss them. Music misses them
hell yeah, man. Plus, the Bruins suck.
I couldn't agree anymore man these guys are fn criminally underrated Fuckin' Rights they are one of my favourite bands ever rest in Peace sir
@@drummonster6228
Very well said drum monster God I miss Brad Nowell and Sublime ! and Shannon Hoon is probably one of the greatest singers ever in my opinion they fucking kill it !
This song saved my life both times I put the drugs down. Sober (for the second time) since July 27, 2018. Thank you Shannon.
Music is a lifeline! Grab it. Hold onto it and stay sober! You are loved, you are strong and you have the power! Keep jamming on good music 🎶 ❤
Awesome
One day at a time brother...
Watch physics videos...learn how fucking lucky you are over 4B years to be reading this text at this moment
FIND WHAT YOU LOVE AND LET IT KILL YOU
keep the good work up my brotha
My son wanted this song played at his memorial. My son, died at age 34 from a overdose 5 years ago. This song was played.
Connie Evans well Connie, your son must have been a beautiful soul; this song got me thru rehab in 2012 from opiate addiction after losing my ex to the battle. Josh died for me to live, and this was my go to song for me
eliot was/is a beautiful soul. i'm sorry about your loss. eliot was a huge shannon hoon fan. 3 blind melon songs were played on his memorial cd. but change was the one that had the most meaning. thank you for your kind comment and i hope you are doing well.
Connie Evans RIP to your son
God be with you n I know he's looking down on you.. I'm so sorry 💔
God bless your son Connie, this song is for him, i'm crying, thank you, i need it.
Shannon Hoon doesn't get enough credit, most unique vocals in music
Blind Melon is the most underrated band OF ALL TIME. I'm not usually one to make such an absolute statement but it absolutely applies here.
Man Janis is not easy to pull off and in many ways he does Janis Better
Wait born 67 died 95, he was another 27 club member? That's a lot of very good singers including winehouse, buddy Holly and about 20 others like the singer of sweet home Alabama song guy.
@@breakingames7772 Jim Morrison Janice Joplin
@@breakingames7772 That's because they don't learn their mistakes from those who came and went before. I've no clue why musicians continue to fuck themselves up on drugs.
If you’re here because you really need this song right now, you’re not alone and you are loved.
I needed that so much today Garrett. I don't know you but thank you .
@@FargoMarc you're welcome. Keep on keepin' on, brother.
Damn, I REALLY needed to hear that shit...
And the crazy thing is, I truly didn't realize it, until I just now fuckin' read it.
@@justinlaw9336 that's what it's there for. Love to you, my internet stranger friend.
Thank you Gareth, today is that day for me.
Today I had to pull my father off of life support. Before that I sat with him and listened to all of blind melons songs, and this was his favorite so I played it last and have not stopped playing it all day. I’m heart broken but Shannon’s amazing musical ability Has been the only thing to help me through this tough time in my life. R.I.P. ❤️
I am sincerely sorry for your loss. All day every day...this is the song!
♥
My heartfelt sympathies. I've already been in your shoes, and although they fit, I wish that they didn't. May music, the memories, a little faith, and the love y'all shared see you through. If you like, I'll lie straight to your face, and tell you that "it gets better". I'm not sure that it does. It just gets different. Much peace and love to all y'all.
I'm here for you
So sorry to hear about your voice. Good music & prayer helps. Sending love & prayer your way. Good times are coming again. Until they do just keep pressing on as best as you can & remember its ok to have bad days as long as you " keep on livin' " God Bless
Shannon Hoon- One of the best and most under-appreciated musicians and singer/songwriters of all time.
Damn, I wish he was still with us.
He's from a town about15 min away from mine was a family friend! I need to pay a visit to his grave! Rip brotha!
brian5o me too.. Gone way too soon
Not too many people no of his legendary backup vocals on so many Guns N Roses songs like don't cry for instance he's in the video
Totally agree. His voice was hauntingly beautiful and his spirit was light.
I’m from West Lafayette! I went to his grave a few years back. Where are you from?
Reading these comments... man. It's beautiful how many lives a song can touch in such a positive way.
RIP Shannon RIP Bradley Nowell RIP Layne Stanley RIP to everyone who lost their battle with that bastard heroin or drug addiction in general.
Scott Weiland 😢
yeah the h is the devil
+Kyle Donaldson Shannon od'd on cocaine....
Alex M Perhaps I should have done some fact checking before I posted it. I always thought he was a junkie and this song was about being addicted. Maybe I read my own things into the lyrics. .Sorry It's been years.
livisdaddy2008 Anddddd there's the spell check. Good job being "that guy".
My comment was already a self-admitted failure. Anything else?
Can never get enough of Blind Melon next to Soundgarden.
*R.I.P Shannon Hoon*
*R.I.P Andrew Wood*
*R.I.P Chris Cornell*
*R.I.P Layne Staley*
*R.I.P Kurt Cobain*
*R.I.P Scott Weiland*
*R.I.P Chester Bennington*
The list is unbearable, We miss you and the memories you helped us shape.
No slipknot?
Eddie Vedder is like, the only one to make it out alive.
And Jim Morrison
Why were they all taken away from us?
I always will remember this song cause I posted that my sister dedicated it to me. Ima drug addict and gots a lot of mental health issues and I'm trying to figure my life together and recover and not fuck up anymore then I have. If your reading this, than please post and message me. I need the hope and help.
who agrees that if blind melon was still around they would be in the rock and roll hall of fame
I have to disagree. Not because I don't think they would deserve it, but because despite all of the fantastic music they made, most people couldn't get past 'No Rain'. Shame, really. Huge talent, the whole band.
they deserve to be but sadly they didn't really get the recognition they deserve.. :/
+wwaldo2525 I don't think hr means anything wrong with No Rain it's just one of the only songs that most people know by Blind Melon
I didn't truly understand their genius and soul until just recently...my ignorance. They are the most underrated band in history and would be legendary had Shannon lived.
harambe lives me but the music is not rock it's grunge
27 years running since the loss of Shannon Hoon and his voice is still 90's music epitomized.
29 years ago he dropped this gem
Man. So much time has passed. Still missing Shannon.
I miss him so much such a huge loss
Definitely one of the defining voices of an era along with Cornell and Lane and Kurt
His voice is legendary!
This song helped me get through rehab. I have 6 years clean.
+Becky Darby well done xx
congratulations! that is amazing
RESPECT!..and what a great song to get you through it ;-)
congrats dear! xx
AMAZING!!
It makes me so HAPPY hearing about those few who make it!
I so often feel like there's no hope. But then I hear about people like you and I start to hope again.
In just one week one guy and one girl is lost to drugs in the tiny town I live in.
She had 3 kids, small, 6 years and younger.
It's so heartbreaking and devastating. I almost can't bare to think of those small children. And my mind can't let go of the thought about their future. Are they going to go the same path?
It totally breaks me :'(
May this song never be forgotten.
I'm going to write my words on the face of the day before they paint it
my utmost respect brother
never will
Love this song
2019
Still Think of what could have been
Missin those
Blind Melons
Shannon would be proud of all the love shown in the comment section here. It brought a smile to my face and tears to go with it.
This is such a bittersweet song, it has me grinning like a fool and bawling like an idiot. One of life's greatest humans and one of life's most tragic stories. A beautiful soul who was taken WAAAAY WAAAAY too soon from those close family who loved him, and the extended millions of family who loved his music and his soul.
RIP Shannon, we wish you were still with us.
Sesese
Ditto.
Angela Howard At age 45 I have seen many of my favorite musician's pass away. Somehow I did manage to survive the 1990's. Sucks to see such talent gone.
Love.
My husband didn't like no rain, but on a long trip to Florida I played the entire CD and he was blown away. I love these guys and miss them.
The first time I heard No Rain, I hated it! When I saw the video, it caught my attention... one day I was going home after school, I was 13 and saw the CD with the bee girl on the cover. When I finally bought it, I fell in love with Blind Melon and I can say this is my favorite band until nowadays! ♥ I love almost this entire album!
I didn't like No Rain, but my boyfriend at the time got me to listen to there other music, they are one of my favorites, Change is my favorite song, and I hate he died so young..
Guitar solo sucks
No rain is not a good song. Tones of home is way better
I have been an addict since I was 12, when shannon died, I shot a bag of dope for him, when Kurt died, I shot a bag of dope for him. Now seeing how sick I was, being clean, almost overdosing, the ambulance found me wirh a needle in my arm and a crackstem in my pocket, I guess that bag was meant for me. But I'm clean now, God graced me another one of a thousand chances, and now I have these 2 babies to care for. We miss you Shannon. I live a little bit of every day, for you and all of us who have fallen to this insidious disease.
I fucking loved this comment.. I love both Shannon and Kurt. I also live little for them everyday but about andrew wood and layne staley ? Did you forget them ?? Whatsoever, but i'm so glad to know about your existence..
Steven Geere no I did not forget them, but I would be naming names forever, but for some reason, I was in my teens when they passed, and I was SEVERELY IN THE GRIPS of my addiction when they passed. When I got older, I learned better coping skills, THANK GOD. I always thought it was luck in my teens, but now I know it was grace that let me keep going. Thank you for your comment, it made me smile!!
Steven Geere thought the same, tho different people relate to different artists. Music is an intensely intimate thing.
SMITTENKITTEN glittergirl ur ded
Lee S no he graced me with free will, sadly, I made the wrong choice.
I remember when Shannon died, it was the very early days of the internet, before any social media. Fans were leaving tributes and memorials on website comment sections and chat rooms, and my friend in high school printed out pages of it for some reason -- in the school library, since none of us had printers or internet connections at home yet. I still have those pages in a binder with all of the notes we passed and other high school memories.
You should think about reposting those.
I live not far from his resting place in Dayton, Indiana. I live in the his hometown Lafayette.
I've been to his grave site in Dayton, Indiana. There's a great big black stone laid over his grave and people still leave teddy bears on it.
What a loss such a great talent... you left way too may God bless you and your family 🙏
I saw them in September 1995 in Offenbach Germany
Nearly 10 million views and I can still safely say that Blind Melon is the most-under rated and under-appreciated rock band of all time.
They are my favorite of all time. Now my son plays their music 🎼❤️
And it's not even close.
Totally wholeheartedly agree 👍
About 5 million if them views are my family listening to it in the car
@maddiewebb3646 Yes... and isn't Change one of the most poignant songs ever?
I don't feel the sun's comin' out today
It's stayin' in, it's gonna find another way, yeah
As I sit here in this misery
I don't think I'll ever know, Lord
See the sun from here
And oh, as I fade away
They'll all look at me and say
And they'll say, "Hey, look at him"
"I'll never live that way"
And that's ok, they're just afraid to change
When you feel life ain't worth living
You've got to stand up
Take a look around, look up way to the sky, hell yeah
And when your deepest thoughts are broken
Keep on dreamin' boy, 'cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die
And as we all play parts of tomorrow, Lord no
Some ways we'll work, and other ways we'll play, yeah
But I know we can't all stay here forever
So I'm gonna write my words on the face of today
And then they'll paint it
And oh, as I fade away
They'll all look at me and say
They'll say, "Hey look at him"
"And where he is these days?"
When life is hard, you have to change
When life is hard, you have to change, mmm
RIP
Bless up 🙏
You messed up a couple lyrics but it's all good. Thanks
@@chrisbailey9377 copy and pasted it
Ahhhhh. .. well that explains it. It wasn't really a big deal. Matter of fact I shouldn't had even said anything. My OCD man ,sorry .
I'm thankful you took time out of your day to provide lyrics. It was only a couple words anyways.
This song helped me get sober. 5 years March 17. I definitely wanna live today
Happy belated 7th year
AWESOME!!! hope all is still going well for you...and if not, well play this song again!! lots of good energy ur way...
March 14, 2014 is my sobriety birthday. It's good to be alive.
Where u? Hope ALL ok. Peace
March 17, 2005 is my clean and sober date! ~ worth the struggles to maintain.
absolutely the most amazing singer since Robert Plant. this is not hyperbole. Shannon Hoon was one of the best. RIP brother. Your words touched gen X.
I agree
No band in the 90s ever tapped into the folk rock sound of the 60s and 70s like Blind Melon.
FACTUAL
Siempre pensé lo mismo.👍
Tesla, anyone? Listen to them unplugged. Same level. To me, anyway. Both are underrated bands in the grand scheme. Just saying. AIC is another.
This song is perfection, the lyrics, guitar, and Shannon’s voice. Rest easy Shannon 💔
Auditory GOLD!!!
You're 100% correct.
This song really is perfect in every way.
This song saved my life 7 years ago when I was done with everything. I had never heard it but seen it in my suggestions. I don't remember the song I was listening too but i left it to listen to this and it has been my theme song and go to song ever since. My therapist now uses it with other PTSD patients she has. Thank you Blind Melon they have no idea how much they have done for me and not ro mention as i read these commets countless others. They will live forever.
Same here
@Judy Musselman - Wow, what testimony to the power of this song. Sending much Aloha.
Thank you for sharing Judy. You deserve to be happy!
"But I know we all can't stay here forever" that line always gets to me.
And it's so true
And when he adds ,"and right now I don't wanna die..." Gets me every time.
Came here to say the same thing
Not " here" , but .. somewhere ., just not " there",...
When my mother was on her deathbed I played this for her. This was the last song she ever heard. She smiled...
Condolences on the passing of your mom :(
It was really sweet of you to play such a beautiful and meaningful song for her. What a precious moment you created there
---
Waooo is cool
Plastic Tree your comment gave me goosebumps c:
Plastic Tree Your story is so close to mine. I listened to this every day at the hospice as my grandmother (who raised me for many years and was closer to me than my Mum) succumbed to a brain tumor. I think I understand a little bit of how powerful this song is to you, and the kind of emotion it can offer - both grief and comfort. I'm sorry for your loss.
Day 6 of sobriety and this songs brings tears of sadness & joy at the same time. Beautiful... My heart goes out to anyone affected by addiction inside or out.
Mahalo.
Love you friend. You've got this.
@@ceeespee2204 thanks brother, just picked up my 1 year keyring still counting days!
Just putting 1 foot in front of the other...
I'm walking with you. I'm here if you ever want to brap about life or just share good music that makes sense..
@@ceeespee2204 thanks 👍
I'm clean but still lost, still paying the consequences. Music was my obsession till drugs took over. Pretty isolated which ain't good for any of us let alone addicts.
So more than happy to chat .
Never really planned to live past 30 now I'm paying for it!
How goes the journey so far? Keep on, keeping on. "One Day At A Time" peace prosperity health and happiness to you.
When times are tough i listen to this song.
Phil TheIssuesGuy I listen to this song when times are good!!
Yotam Glick love it!! well said!
Phil TheIssuesGuy always...me too
Fuck yeah! And then it lifts up the soul just to lift it up ;-)
been tough for almost 30 years..
but it's never effected my pretty feet
Dying inside right now. Started grooving and smiling for the first time in days. Thank you Blind Melon.
💜👐💜
Yo Stephen how's it going now
@@robaichjones1691 Alive, happy, proud, thankful... all those good things everyone should be feeling 😄 Divorce sucked, but it was survivable! Thank you for caring to check in 🙏🤙
All the opposite feelings to how you felt at those dark times huh, iv been there the mental pain is torture I'm glad to hear your still with us and happy
@@stephenschultz9901 Hope you're doing well brother. 🇵🇭
Damn, so tragic to lose this dude. Blind Melon deserved way more recognition than they got.
They were a very popular band. I saw them in concert.
I don't understand how this song can only have 10 million views! Very underrated
For someone who you can see as plain as day cared about people and who lost himself to drugs, I'd have to imagine he'd be incredibly happy to see the comments here and how many people this song helped out of that pit.
Blind Melon has a wonderful 60s flair to their image and music. I can't help comparing Shannon's voice to Janis Joplin.
Damn your kind of right about the Joplin thing I always thought he was like a softer version of Axel Rose from GnR
Yeah! I hear it too. ❤️
My exact thought, a male version of Janis
I always just thought it was me that thought he sounded like Janis. What a voice!
A cross between Robert Plant and Janis Joplin. ✌🏾
“When life is hard you have to change” love that
when life gets to hard but iknow i gotta keep going forward i play this song thanks SM RIP
Today is going to be the first Christmas without my dad. He had passed away 9 months due to many health complications before I had to wake up to him gone in his bed. He introduced me to this song while going to my 3rd grade football practices, he called it my “warmup song”. We listened to “change” and “no rain” predominately. That man was my leader, my role model, the man that taught me what a real man is. As I get older I come to understand the hardships he had gone through throughout his life and it really drives me to be who I am. No matter how down I may get, or how heavy my life may feel, it all leads me back to where I am now, listening to Change..
What an epic voice....wow. Shannon Hoon, Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley. All with epic voices. Eddie's the only one left.
@Millennial Smark no Kurt was a good musician, but his voice definitely wasn’t on the same level as those guys
@Millennial Smark he is literally just talking about voice alone? Kurt just doesn’t belong there. Your story just sounds like a dumb assumption based on little experience with those people
Perhaps the deepest song ever written in the entire galaxies and solar system
its a shame the song is so underrated
straight from the heart..
''Keep on dreaming cause when you stop dreaming is time to die''
How true is that??
R.I.P Shannon Hoon
your always missed and remembered dearly
by all your fans from around the world.
+NigerianRocker YES!
Idk, 'Walk' is pretty high up there...
75 dislikes. How can anyone dislike this tune or this mega band
God damn I love this song..
May this song never be forgotten.
God damn I love this song..
It's up to 2.1 K dislikes....That's 2,100+ people who have no idea what good music sounds like.
This song is GOLD!!
@@brucebrandy9433 hey I like them , saw them in Tuscaloosa , with the Melvin's, & Meat Puppets, met them after the show ( I had gotten too hot and I could smell other people in my personal space so I went and laid out on the lawn by the sidewalk to stop the dizzy ) my friends were friends with the guys from Blind Melon( same hometown , not Indiana , some of them would come over and play around in the band room when they were in town visiting) .. that being said .. I think the only reason people wouldn't like this song is that it's not song but the dusted /painted gold... it's seems that those who do ... seem to after that they're not here anymore. That's my theory anyway ( Cranberries, Zombie... well when Bad Wolves, did their version .. Mother Pearl Janis Joplin was done in gold too I'm sure .. ) 🤨🤔..
Easy
Will never be forgotten here...
Jume 1st 2024. Anyone still listening?
Right here
Present
Fuuuuuuckkk yeahhhh
Till death due us apart
🇦🇺
When life is hard you have to change..
amen man
hoooouuuuuuuu yeaaaaaaaaa baby.....!!
Straight up!
When life is hard, escape it by using hardcore drugs
I don't feel the suns comin' out today
It's staying in, it's gonna find another way
As I sit here in this misery
I don't think I'll ever no ??
See the sun from here
And oh as I fade away
They'll all look at me and say, and they'll say
Hey look at him, I'll never live that way
And that's okay
They're just afraid to change
When you feel your life ain't worth living
You've got to stand up
And take a look around and you look way up to the sky
Yeah, and when your deepest thoughts are broken
Keep on dreaming boy, 'cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die
And as we all play parts of tomorrow
Some ways will work and other ways we'll play
But I know we all can't stay here forever
So I want to write my words on the face of today
And then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away
They'll all look at me and they'll say
Hey look at him and where he is these days
When life is hard, you have to change
When life is hard, you have to change
❤
Thank You. 🧡
I heard Shannon's mom say she knew he was going to be famous when she heard him playing this song out on the porch one day.
Love you, Nel. Suckerpunch.
I'll be the thousandth person to say that this song has power. Music can help heal. If you are open to it. I play it whenever I feel bad enough about myself to need it. Thank you Shannon. Well done.
I love Nirvana, but Blind Melon's music spoke to me on a far more personal level....
+lot24 very personal
Shannon's voice was amazing. I didn't give two shits about Cobain. Shannon was beautiful, when he wasn't fucked up.
I ran into S. Hoon at a ian moore show in Dallas back in 93 or 94. He was in the audience, the guy standing next to me said hey look Blind Melon's singer. Sure enough. He was pretty trashed, haha.
+Tammy Sigmon Shannon did though. He was very upset when he heard Kurt was dead. I think they both were great.
+lot24 I think their music showed more talent than nirvana, personally. Hoon's songwriting was just amazing
I'm convinced that this 3:41 song has saved more lives than any 15 minute sermon has ever done. This song saved more lives than a 12 hour surgical shift at a hospital. This song is just a gift that we should listen to with quiet awe every time it plays.
29 years later and still one of the greatest songs of all time. Rest peacefully Shannon Hoon. So much underrated talent
I can’t tell you how many times I REALLY needed to hear the message in this song it has seen me through some dark times. Easily in my top five!!!
Stick this on the Isolation 2020 Playlist, and right near the top. Incredible song from one of the world's most underrated bands of all time. Magic and beauty rolled into music.
Beautifully said.
That’s exactly what I’ve did😁
Song to finish this shit of a year with.
Bless you
Make a 1993 playlist of this gem to add.
THIS IS REALLY A UNDER RATED BAND ..
They really are! The whole band are unbelievably talented.
To those with quiet ears
I literally listen to them once a week and have for going on 20 years now.
Criminally Underated. The whole album is filled with hits. This should have been their second single.
They had just released their 2nd album when he died. Hadn't really gotten started good before that shit happened. They weren't underrated to us back then. We had tickets to that show in New Orleans. Was a shitty evening.
I hope heaven sounds like this
aMaNDa Rescues bless your heart.
Trina Dooley You too. Thank you :)
Well said Amanda, well said. I feel the same.
Mad Minute me too
Mad Minute me too! one hell of a jam session
Absolutely incredible and I love everyone's comments...Jesus... I'm embarrassed to say that I had forgotten about this band....I happened upon a pizza place at ASU and they were playing this song!
So many beautiful artists we have lost along the way!!!...Shannon being one of the best!!!
I remember singing this song 30 years ago.... like it was yesterday
I can't believe 30 years have passed...
This song encaptures the trials and tribulations we all experience through life....Shannon you are sorely missed!
I swear, Blind Melon's music has kept me alive ....I have had so many dark periods in my life. Music is the only thing keeping me going sometimes. I've played this song a coupke times today....I just hope that if there's an afterlife, my bro is out there with Shannon creating new stuff for us to enjoy
The most talented people are also a little crazy, this man was both and couldn't deal with things so he turned to drugs, don't be sad he's gone be happy that his talent is still remembered and he left some good music for us to enjoy
That was powerful
Loving your word's! Thank you ✌
true...
It took Dave Mustaine 15 rehabs to work. 17 rehabs didn't help Layne. I don't know if they didn't have the after support they needed or what. It's crazy sad.
+raisedfist80 well i am sorry to tell you you but you said is not true either.
you say "we humans" "all" are self-deestructive, that is an incorrect statement. not all humans or we humans but we living in a certain type of society, system whatever you want to call it. humans are not self destructive or fight with themselves by nature, it is an aberration through the interaction with inhumane and unnatural circumstances, rules, modes of living, upbringing etc. which cause such behaviour and mentality.
This actually may be my favorite song by any artist.
Greetings future person, yes we are still listening to this in *[insert date here]* . You have impeccable musical tastes too. Have a wonderful day!

This song deserves a billion likes. Blind melon is awesome point blank!!!!! #change
I had this album when it came out. 25 yrs later I understand it more. As a teen I could tell the songs were good but it took time and growth to understand how good they truly were.
So true , I spent time listening to songs I grew up on , what a difference time makes .change and awareness is there in the songs , truth , we have to just listen and be awake
...this song kept me from pulling the trigger on myself in 2000. Thank you shannon❤
I seriously lost a piece of my soul when he passed away. I have never heard another singer that spoke for me before. Rest in peace, brother.
God damn I love this song..
This is on the most amazing songs ever written... It's up there with Let It Be and Comfortably Numb...
How is this not considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time??
It is. The rest just don’t know it yet. Who need them anyway. We will be here when they need us.
I'm in the grips of hell right now. Sending good energy positive vibrations and healing frequencies to the world and hopefully back around before I fall

Bless Up 🙏💙🏴☠️
What made Shannon Hoon so great? This guy laid his soul out for all to see. That's a scary thing, people can exploit that, especially today, but the fact that he did this makes him soooo enduring and easily relatable for those fortunate enough to discover him and pick up what he was putting down.
Well said.. couldn't agree with you more
I don't feel the suns comin' out today
its staying in, its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery, I don't
think I'll ever see the sun from here.
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,
Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.
But that's okay
they're just afraid to change.
When you feel your life ain't worth living
you've got to stand up and
take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
so I want to write my words on the face of today.
and then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
When life is hard, you have to change
when life is hard ...............................you have to change......................
Allena Moestadja Really thanks!!!
You mess up on some of the lyrics
@@edwinhoopes2753 then put the corrections in instead of emphasising on the fact of the mistake being made
Thank you!! xo
I love this band to extremes! Soup basically defined my childhood, my brother was the one to introduce me to this band (back in 1991 or 1992?) and I am so very grateful he did! I seriously wish Shannon hadn't been taken so young, but the good ones always do! It sucks because you just don't hear good music like this anymore...this song reminds me to always keep my mind open and positive.
Did we just become best friends…? Do you wanna go do karate in the garage?!?
I've always loved this song. I'm now 48 and still feel like this is my life song.
Still years and years go by and I have never heard another band like them. I have been a Melon fan since day 1 and even kept track of the new projects. I still feel this band has no equal I miss their music.
Shannon, Chris, Brad, Rogers and Glenn, you guys made such a difference in my life, and later with Travis. Once a melonhead, always a melonhead. Thank you for the music and the amazing friends.
If there's a such thing as magic in my life it's that music finds me when it's supposed to, and I found this song today because of a short video made by a youth center. I didn't discover it 30 years ago before Shannon died. No, I discovered it today, and today is the day I was meant to hear it. And what can I say except that I'm so incredibly grateful for the gift of this music in my life.
He says look at him don't ever want to live that way. Life is hard you got to change. He was such a good singer! Miss him
An absolute 90's masterpiece. I still listen to this song just about every day. My favorite alternative song of all time.
God what an amazing band, I miss them very much ,it brings me back so many memories when I was a teenager in my 15 I was in my living room batteling depression, hearing this band ,hearing this song over and over,I'm originally from Argentina I been in USA for 20 year and I still enjoying and listening this amazing day ,one of the greatest thing's in my country is that we respect rock!!!,we honor,respect and still supporting this rock band's , this is true art ,real people's playing real instruments, my respect Blind Melon ,you guy's should be at the rock hall of fame, definitely...
One of the most beautiful pieces of music.
One of the greatest songs of all time. Fact.
This song deserves a billion likes. Blind melon is awesome point blank!!!!! #change
THIS IS REALLY A UNDER RATED BAND ..
Smart words, when life is hard u have to change. I wish he'd listened to himself but God needed him more than we did I guess. Another beautiful song bird
I get chills every time I listen to this song....on repeat as we speak. RIP Shannon. its one of those days
Blind Melon is the most underrated band OF ALL TIME. I'm not usually one to make such an absolute statement but it absolutely applies here.
I sit and listen and break down every time. This song gets my tears flowing
Same💜
My one month old daughter, Meloni Dawn, LOVES this song...it chills her out...🍉😇
I would have loved to hear this man sing live. I wasn't born when he was preforming, so I never had the possibility of hearing him sing. We need more music like this.
I WAS FORTUNATE TO SEE ALICE N CHAINS N BLIND MELON N 92 N THE GREAT SAN ANTONIO TEXAS..
Got to see them perform at woodstock.. thay wee amazing
He was on his way here in Fl I was so excited to see him , found out the day before he was to play he left us It was devastating still think about that day I heard the news
The beautiful 90s....the most wonderful time..when fantasy still was¡¡
One of the Greatest songs EVER MADE!!! Flat out!!!!
Been sober for 2 years now. This song got me off the wagon. God bless them for giving me my kids and husband back.
This is the first Blind Melon song I ever heard. They were introduced to me about 15 years ago by a friend who just passed away. This song and so many of his others have so much meaning and depth!
Woke up and just NEEDED to hear this today.
I wish this version was on the album. Just that line "and I don't want to die." adds such an impact to this song especially given the circumstances. RIP
When times are tough i listen to this song.
I hope heaven sounds like this
This song is one of the very few that gives me goosebumps all over bc of the lyrics. What an amazing underrated southern rock great band.
Song chokes me up, Shannon was ahead of his time!! His tragic end makes his Lyrics even that more powerful!
I picked up my guitar and started playing with some chords and subconsciously started playing this song. I have never played it before and I didn't even know how to. It sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember who did it. This song was haunting me as I played and it finally clicked that it was this song. Weird and totally out of the blue. It was a sign and a checkpoint in my life. Thank you.
30 years later and this song hits more than ever.

@@duncan3998 the album was released in 1992, its now 2022....
@@jessiejamesferruolo I was referring to the video...
@@duncan3998 Hmm. Well I said "this song" so.... yea.... Nice to meet you?
@@jessiejamesferruolo I literally said ''the video'' that was released in 1993 of this song. but nevermind.
My brother wrote these words to me in a letter when he was in boot camp and I was just about to graduate high school…I never in a million years would’ve imagined I’d feel these words as deeply as I do now, 23 years ago when read them in that letter. RIP to those I’ve loved and lost.
Wuauuuu! Todo tiene su espacio y su tiempo! Me imagino lo que debes sentir al leer esas palabras! Bendiciones 🙏
in rehab i went out of state to fl and a kid from my state nj who I totally clicked with, said something to the same effect; if you would’ve told me, I’d be a heroin addict two years ago there’s no way in hell I would’ve believed you. and he was the sweetest kid, smart as hell as many addicts are, and if he was in a room full of harvard students you wouldn’t be able to pick him out. addiction is a disease. people who are ignorant about it will say things like stop for me or the kids and it’s like if they don’t stop for their own life they’re not stopping for you that’s not how it works I’m sorry about your brother.
i think that was his way of saying i lost myself to this demon and idk how to be free again
@@care584 no it was my brothers way of showing me he’d realized it was time to grow up. He had just been partying and doing a bunch of dumb shit then joined the military. He’s alive and well. IM the idiot who became an opiate addict all through my twenties and then right before 30 turned into a heroin addict….thank god that was a short lived…uhh…phase…🙄. Either way, long story short, and irregardless(
i still listening this great band!! sorry for my english but much respect
This band has literally saved my life like 7 mf times, for real
This song never fails to move me in such a big way. Never thought you could put this feeling to words but Hoon did just that!!!!
Listened to shannon and the band since 94...wish i had found em sooner..may your ears be filled with melon grit...💙💙💙
Finally breaking free from a bad marriage. Finally have the strength to do it. I know it’s what’s best but damn it’s hard. I come back to this song when things are really tough. When life is hard you have to change…
