I thank this world for creating this vocal art form and the skills the band has in helping him express. I like how he started out mad and ended up emotional
It's sad but it is what it is.As people,we always want more no matter how much there is.I knew Shannon and he was no different.I never saw him after he skipped town for LA,but I understand the fame really did a number on him. The guy was crazy (fun crazy) and his demise was no surprise.He wasn't a prophet,he was just as confused about life as the rest of us except he had an amazing talent for expressing it. Though the track list we have is short,the emotion is the same and he will forever grow
funkyzero That’s great perspective.. I live near & grew around Dayton area about 5 years after he moved & heard stories.. People are people no matter , he is still an inspiration to me. I just posted a cover of blind melon check it out if u have time.. cheers 🍻
Every time a spark a joint I think about you. No homo! Shannon, we all miss you man.. I promise to have a band atleast half as great as yours. Rest in peace man, we love you!
thank you for this. I love hearing and reading things about this talented man. It is because of him I picked up the guitar and I couldn't imagine my life without it now. thanks again.
"One night we were playing in Detroit at this old church that had been converted into a music hall, called St. Andrew's Hall. And after the show, we were standing up in our dressing room, and it had these windows so you could look down and see all the people leaving the club. And I was standing there looking out when I noticed all these people starting to congregate over on the corner. We were arguing about a monitor mix or something stupid from the gig, I don't know. But my attention was caught by all these people on the corner. I thought man... is there a fight going on or something? Then I see someone point up and I look and there's this girl on the edge of the building, 20 floors up. It wasn't someone from the show; it was a hotel next door to the club. I was like, 'Holy s--t, you guys, there's a girl up there.' We had the most horrific view. There's about two hundred people, all watching by now, and of course you get all the heartless ones that start heckling and screaming when you should really understand that someone for whatever reason is deliberating life or death here. It was unbelievable. There were people yelling 'Jump!' I thought, 'My God, what's going on here?' All of a sudden there was this dead calm, and this girl stood up and she jumped, and we were all standing there. And I mean it seemed like it took forever for her to fall. It was one of those situations where you don't want to look but something in your mind makes you watch and will not let you take your eyes away from it, because you're going to learn something from it. I mean, not only did I learn that monitor mixes were irrelevant to life, it just... phoosh! Nobody was able to say a thing for the next three hours. We just got in the van and drove. Rogers [Stevens - Blind Melon guitarist] had actually left the hall and was down on the street when it happened. It was something that really scarred us all. She was just 26, and no one knew why she jumped. She took her secret with her. They thought she might have tested positive for AIDS, but she wasn't. She wasn't pregnant, she had a job... she just suffered from depression. It could have been anybody. It was really sad. And that's what 'St. Andrew's Fall' is all about." - Shannon Hoon (As Greg Prato explains in his book A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Other: The Story of Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon, Shannon Hoon came up with most of this song while the band was on the road promoting their first record.)
St. Andrew's Fall - lyrics Big stretch, not much sleep A big palm tree runs against my cheek Bright blue Saturdays of rummage sales And rubbish to me But if I could buy the sky that's hangin' Over this bed of mine And if I could buy these vines Or rather climb 'em straight up to the sky Standin', lookin' straight in the eyes of Jesus Christ One porch, one dog, one cockroach, only one way to be I got sewage fruit It grows out back from roots and I don't know if they belong to me But if I could buy this sky that's hangin' Over this bed of mine - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And if I could climb these vines And maybe see what you see You - if you're sittin' on the edge of this building Lookin' twenty below Twenty below, twenty below, twenty below And I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat And viewed my life today, but I can tell you That I can't seem to find an easy way So if I see you walkin' hand in hand in hand With a three armed man, I'll understand Should have been in my shoes (Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside) In my shoes yesterday (Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside) ohh In my shoe yesterday (Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside) In my shoe yesterday (Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside) In my shoe yesterday yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday - ohoo
it's called St Andrew's Fall by the time they put it on the album "soup." This was filmed before the album and it has a different title in this video. Inspired by a suicide jumper that he saw in the news.
@MrMushrooms420 I don't like it when you start dissing people here and maybe you should ask yourself why you feel the need to do that. Anyway i'll erase disrespectful behavior like that...so save your energy.

Thank god the bandmates convinced Shannon to do this version of St.Andrews fall, its one of my favorite acoustic performances ever
I can't stop watching this performance! Everyday. It's just SO good!
Shannon was a very under appreciated guitarist as well. Mad skills all around.

just wanna give him a big hug and say we love you
Exactly 🫂🫂🫂❤️❤️❤️
everyone needs to see this and here this band
When they all come-in on the beat.....wow.
Shannon even smiles after hearing it all come together properly.
I couldn't agree more! This version beats the pants off of all the others.
Every time a spark a joint I think about you. No homo! Shannon, we all miss you man.. I promise to have a band atleast half as great as yours. Rest in peace man, we love you!

St. Andrew's Fall - lyrics
Big stretch, not much sleep
A big palm tree runs against my cheek
Bright blue Saturdays of rummage sales
And rubbish to me
But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine
And if I could buy these vines
Or rather climb 'em straight up to the sky
Standin', lookin' straight in the eyes of Jesus Christ
One porch, one dog, one cockroach, only one way to be
I got sewage fruit
It grows out back from roots and
I don't know if they belong to me
But if I could buy this sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And if I could climb these vines
And maybe see what you see
You - if you're sittin' on the edge of this building
Lookin' twenty below
Twenty below, twenty below, twenty below
And I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat
And viewed my life today, but I can tell you
That I can't seem to find an easy way
So if I see you walkin' hand in hand in hand
With a three armed man, I'll understand
Should have been in my shoes
(Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside)
In my shoes yesterday
(Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside)
ohh
In my shoe yesterday
(Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside)
In my shoe yesterday
(Yesterday you should have seen the guilt I felt inside)
In my shoe yesterday
yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday - ohoo
