Hoon had a very soulful voice. He used to sing Yankee rose by David Lee Roth in his basement when we were kids. He had stage presents way back then. But it always suprises me to read comments about how much his songs mean to people. Its amazing!
The thing I love about Blind Melon the most is that they weren't like every other band in which every other song was a love song or a song which had nearly no meaning. The guys in blind melon wrote about the things people usually don't write about. Like what they feel inside and what they stand for, and theyre overall emotion. All of Melon's songs have incredibly deep lyrics, and by far the deepest lyrics ive ever heard and seen in my life. Blind Melon was incredibly underrated in their time.
Hey! What's up everyone in the 2090's!? This song is about 100 years old when you are reading this. When I was a kid, there was no TH-cam, we had the internet, but nothing like youtube yet. Now we have TH-cam...and so do you.
I always thought there should have been a movie made about Shannon/Melon. The younger Matt Damon would have been perfect to play Shannon. Such a tragic story. Such an amazing person.
It is called "All I Can Say" and its more of a documentary not a movie. As much as he was so talented I don't need to see another movie about a rockstar with a drug addiction who died young. There have already been movies made about this so, do we really need to see more of them? It is a sad and tragic life to be addicted to drugs and such a waste of talent.
2021 I bought a book about the band recently! After reading it I have become an avid fan. They are superb i love all the tracks yes i remember loving No Rain back i the day but my god they have written some classics this song included! Shannon is quite the best front man I've witnessed god bless his soul. But your still making fans even now your legacy grows ❤
Don't know where or when, if just from my own ears and how it is, but i often introduce Shannon's voice and delivery to newbies as a 90's Grunge/Folk Janis....anyway, Yes, he HAD to be. :) !!!!!!!!!!
first of all lets get one thing straight, no one killed shannon. he suffered from drug abuse, that he dealt with for many years. no one can sit here and point the finger at him. he was a man with great talent. he just wasnt strong enough to kick the habit. he didnt kill himself or choose to die the way he did. remember the man for what he brought to your life. blind melon and shannon were apart of my generation and their music brought something to my life. respect the man. YOUR ARE MISSED.
Miss you so much Shannon you were one of the most original singers to come along in a long time. You are right up there with Robert, Layne , Bono, Chris and a couple other very gifted original sounding vocalist love and peace to you .
Florencia Pascual I find your comment rude and very juvenile. It serves no.purpose and has nothing to do with the subject? The cleanliness of my ears is irrelevant to you as I am not your lover. Your tongue will certainly not be in my ear. Another suggestion get your facts straight about Axl Rose and Shannon Hoons association with eachother. They had a long time association and friendship due to Axl being friends with Shannons brother. They are also both from the same area in Indiana.
Change" 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.
What a Beautiful Song!!! Breaks my Heart to hear some pain in his voice!!! I'm sure he wanted to CHANGE and get clean!!! He sang about it all the time!!! Such a Shame but ya gotta want to do it!! I think he was in rehab a couple of times!!! Love you SHANNON Rest Easy Sing with the ANGELS my Love 🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹
I hear ya man, im 15 and this song has changed my life just as many of melons songs have. everything of theirs is extremely deep and i can drastically relate to it
Don't feel sorry for me, for I know what the good side of music is. Feel sorry for the people of my generation who don't know what good, true music is.
Shannons death has been a great loss to music and the world in genral, he had the voice of an angel. His music hase touched my soul. Shannon, we all miss you dearly.
Shannon, If 14 years ago tonight you didn't go on that 12 hour coke binge, You would've been there the next morning to maybe watch the puddles gather rain.
Bradley Novell........Sublime, starting the tour of the only album, sublime-sublime, he was clean for about a year and while celebrating one of their shows somebody offer him dope, couple of days later he was dead.....
@1lucho89 music suffered a great deal of loss, thus the fans, friends and even more the families of these greats suffered. but pain and suffering have been the backbone of the best blues and rock ballads we have ever been given.
I prefer Change over No Rain. Shannon Hoon's lyricism as well as acoustic guitar accompaniment just transcends time. Everytime I feel like just giving up I just: Play and sing or listen to this song. I performed this song for my ex girlfriend and she enjoyed it. Sadly no rain(as good as a song that it is) overshadows masterpieces such as: St Andrews Fall/Hall,Letters from a Porcupine, Weeping the Willow, Ever Had the Feeling, Life ain't so shitty, Toes Across the Floor, Car Seat(God's Presents),Vernie, Wooh dog and so many more written by the late Shannon Hoon. I get annoyed when people could only remember Blind Melon by terms like Bee Girl or No Rain. Just so glad my father introduced me to this band. Definitely my favorite band( up there with Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden,Blue October,Audioslave,Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Grateful Dead just to name a few. I know Blind Melon's songs just reinforce hope within in me when I feel like everything in life becomes over bearing and I decide to push foward even if giving up seems like a comfortable alternative it is never the correct one. Rest in peace Shannon Hoon. This band, my dad teaching how to play guitar as well as going to a Pearl Jam concert with my father on November 24,2013 at the La Sports Areana inspired to pick up a guitar and just start writting rock n' roll songs and ballads like my dad.
with any luck, one of my grandchildren will buy me a time machine before I die and I'll crank that succa back to Nottingham rock city UK gig but until then I got You Tube...though not quite the same as seeing em live...they're still real to me dammit peace out

Immortal. Shannon may be dead, but he never really died. He'll live forever through his music.

When MTV was music
I always thought there should have been a movie made about Shannon/Melon.
The younger Matt Damon would have been perfect to play Shannon.
Such a tragic story. Such an amazing person.
There is, it was shown at Sundance. I knew him. His mom just sold all of his thing's. Rest in peace buddy
@@gioiaferrante When? Do you remember what it was called?
It is called "All I Can Say" and its more of a documentary not a movie. As much as he was so talented I don't need to see another movie about a rockstar with a drug addiction who died young. There have already been movies made about this so, do we really need to see more of them? It is a sad and tragic life to be addicted to drugs and such a waste of talent.
Pls not...no movie!
Fucking Shannon Hoon! Genius! Hope you're enjoying yourself up there! You're still rocking my world down here!
that guy is one hell of a singer.
This band should be more well known.
Glad I found them.
Well, they would of been if the lead singer had not died of drug addicted overdose at ate 28 and left behind a baby daughter.
a beautiful soul a friend of mine rip shannon
1989bccclasmate did you know shannon? i’d love to hear more about him from you if you did.
2021 I bought a book about the band recently! After reading it I have become an avid fan.
They are superb i love all the tracks yes i remember loving No Rain back i the day but my god they have written some classics this song included!
Shannon is quite the best front man I've witnessed god bless his soul.
But your still making fans even now your legacy grows ❤
What was the name of the book please ?
@@deetestlogins5269 a Devil on one shoulder and an Angel on the other by Greg Prato.
I hope this helps you my friend 🤞
In the loneliest nights, I look above and when I see a star shines, I think to myself "Shanon is singing Change again" and then, I smile
shannon hoon's voice will always make my heart sing!
Same !
Shannon HAD to be Janis' love child
Soren Aleksander agreed
Don't know where or when, if just from my own ears and how it is, but i often introduce Shannon's voice and delivery to newbies as a 90's Grunge/Folk Janis....anyway, Yes, he HAD to be. :) !!!!!!!!!!
That would make Roky Erickson his grand dad
first of all lets get one thing straight, no one killed shannon. he suffered from drug abuse, that he dealt with for many years. no one can sit here and point the finger at him. he was a man with great talent. he just wasnt strong enough to kick the habit. he didnt kill himself or choose to die the way he did. remember the man for what he brought to your life. blind melon and shannon were apart of my generation and their music brought something to my life. respect the man. YOUR ARE MISSED.
What a beautiful spirit. Words lose me.
💔
Gone too soon...but his stamp on music will continue...
Miss you so much Shannon you were one of the most original singers to come along in a long time. You are right up there with Robert, Layne , Bono, Chris and a couple other very gifted original sounding vocalist love and peace to you .
***** Florencia Pascual like axl rose? are you kidding? they both sound quite unique. not much in common in my opinion.
Florencia Pascual I find your comment rude and very juvenile. It serves no.purpose and has nothing to do with the subject? The cleanliness of my ears is irrelevant to you as I am not your lover.

bono?
The words on his headstone. Lost 21 years ago today. A tragic loss. ✌Shannon.
Jaicie Bastian ✊🏻
Just visited his headstone yesterday (along with some Axl and Izzy landmarks).
There are several live versions of this song on youtube, and I've studied them all, but this is without a doubt, the DEFINITIVE version.
One of the most talented musicians ever. Tragic but lives on through the music.
My favorite version of this song. Had it on Limewire years ago. Took me forever to track down!
I'm sure you also had a virus from that trash site ;)
just a great band. their stuff never gets old
Best version of this song. Ever.
acoustic buff that’s what I just said! It’s amazing
Except Shannon messes up the words. @1:49 sings words from the end of the song.
Change"
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.
this song helped through alot of really dark moments in my life , so grateful i didnt off myself
It was so much fun to watch blind melon come into their own
What a Beautiful Song!!! Breaks my Heart to hear some pain in his voice!!! I'm sure he wanted to CHANGE and get clean!!! He sang about it all the time!!! Such a Shame but ya gotta want to do it!! I think he was in rehab a couple of times!!! Love you SHANNON Rest Easy Sing with the ANGELS my Love 🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹
Big Melon fan!! Don't we all love Big Melons??? This guy was too COOL!!!
LOVE YOU SHANNON HOON your a man with a BEAUTIFUL SOUL and Spirit!!
We didn't want you to die either Shannon..
I hope peace is with you ...whatever cosmic realm you are in..
I hear ya man, im 15 and this song has changed my life just as many of melons songs have. everything of theirs is extremely deep and i can drastically relate to it
12 years later. You still listening?
I wish I saw him on Bourbon Street that morning. I would have pulled him into a bar and bought him a tall beer to bullshit about how great he was!
I know we will miss Shannon FOREVER n EVER. Always love Blind Melon, even new band is good, those guys are the best!
Shannon had so much talent, what a loss ! (RIP)💔
Such an amazing song To play in the winter in the North west! Rain after rain after rain! My guitar and this song saves me in the dreary dread!
What a great musicians they are! Shanon you are still alive for me
The way he tinkers with the lyrics on this, and the Letterman, version was subtle but incredibly powerful.
holy shit. how do you improve on a song that's already amazing? right here. WOW.
they just don't make em like this anymore!! the creativity, the sheer nirvana shrouding your heart when you listen to the music...
oh man i remember when this was aired! Happy days! MTV has gone downhill since!
Thanks for sharing!
Don't feel sorry for me, for I know what the good side of music is. Feel sorry for the people of my generation who don't know what good, true music is.
Que buena música Noventera , ahora en el recuerdo de todos los que disfrutamos.
oh gosh... i remember watching this on tv back in the day... damn i'm getting old :)
Shannons death has been a great loss to music and the world in genral, he had the voice of an angel. His music hase touched my soul. Shannon, we all miss you dearly.
I weep for music nowadays. It lost it's soul.
Man, i miss MTV Europe! It was back then... and i mean funny in a HILARIOUS way
Great song,the voice to shannon is beautiful R.I.P idol
I miss Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon
I want to write my words on the face of today. Love that line
hard to believe this was taken from a vhs... its really good quality
gracias shannon por tu musica .sigue viajando por tu galaxia
He Ruled.
muchas gracias por subir este video.
One of the best songs of 90´
the music really touches me so much soul in it.
Shannon, If 14 years ago tonight you didn't go on that 12 hour coke binge, You would've been there the next morning to maybe watch the puddles gather rain.
absolutley amazing,along with so many others.
peace.
Marta from Portugal. Yey é bom saber que pessoas do meu pais tinham bom gosto na altura.
Bradley Novell........Sublime, starting the tour of the only album, sublime-sublime, he was clean for about a year and while celebrating one of their shows somebody offer him dope, couple of days later he was dead.....
I love this song
Even though I am Primarily a Metal and Jazz player I hold these guys in tremendous respect... kick ass uke too RIP
I love you Shannon! Miss you brother.
@1lucho89 music suffered a great deal of loss, thus the fans, friends and even more the families of these greats suffered. but pain and suffering have been the backbone of the best blues and rock ballads we have ever been given.
Hmmm....MTV actually playing music. What a concept.
Harmonics ... these amazing instrument!
Wow. Shannon is on point in this version...Happy B-day, man
Thanks for posting!!!

I love how shannon is changing the lyrics every time he plays a song. No song sounds exactly like the other time.

Back when MTV played music....

I LOVE blind melon i growing up listening this music!!! i even remember when sharon die was a very sad day!!!
This is great! Thanks.

Eternal
Bradley Nowell, Shannon Hoon, in my opinion the biggest loss from the 90s and from music since Hendrix.
SHANNON...NUFF SAID!!
Timeless.
it is beautiful.
MY FAV!!! THANX!
Just amazing
This is a poet!!!
@NoRulesInNam I hear ya never had a deth of a celb or person that i dont even know

peace to all melon lovers
Muy lindo tema, Shannon se ve aqui muy guapo.
he said the best dude the best
the only bad thing about this is Ray Cokes, he did my f'ing head in
a blind melon fan high?...now that's just crazy talk right there sir :P
theres so many different versions of how Shannon Hoon sings this song, but this is my favorite
Talk about kick ass performance.....
Great great song
i wish blind melon had an mtv unplugged.
