I agree.even if he stuck around long enuf to write some more music to compare it to.i believe it would've evolved into completely different style.soup was already headed that way.peoples stubborn tastes couldn't keep up with his brilliance. In my eyes they could do no wrong.
@@lupusanthro5021 No Rain isn't a bad song just because it's popular. It's not their best (Drive, Soup, Change, St. Andrew's Fall) but it's still catchy as hell, lyrically powerful and relatable, and well produced. A lot of people never would have heard of the band without that song, including me.
He changed my life......my buddies were big fans and got to know him. They kept on inviting me to shows but I didnt take it seriously and kept saying no. Then he passed....I walked through one of their bedrooms shortly after and they were on his tv at Woodstock. I sat down because I saw something meaningful and real. Then Shannon said.."this is a song called soup". .....it was the end of NO.
I've been going through all of the 20th century music that I rejected at the time due to first impressions and so much great music around(you had to buy it back then too). These guys were way better than they let on. This simple live song is magnificent.
Definitely live version. No dubs, retakes, do overs, stoppage due to them going in a different direction. This live version of Drive is just MAGNIFICENT.
I miss Shannon and Blind Melon SO much. Such an amazing band. So, so good. Horribly underrated. One of best bands EVER, even to this day! Nobody comes close in my opinion. 💗💗💗
This song describes a real incident that took place at a used clothing store on Melrose Avenue where Blind Melon guitarist Christopher Thorn used to work. His co-worker, William, was going through withdrawal trying to kick heroin. That day, lead singer Shannon Hoon came by the store and saw the whole thing - it was the first time either of them had seen someone kicking heroin. Thorn and Hoon each had their own bouts with heroin; a drug overdose led to Hoon's death in 1995 at age 28. The song title is a reference to how William didn't drive - he would call friends to drive him to downtown Los Angeles to score heroin.
my name is william, i want to do a lot of things in my lifetime, and i dont know if i'll be able to do them all. but living paycheck to paycheck its hard. then i look to music. its all okay now

I would give you more likes but they won't let me..🤗
Thank you
One of the absolute best songs of all entire time ❤
This song reminds of the fall of 1993 after I had just moved to Colorado. This was the B-side to "No Rain". RIP Shannon.

i get older the music gets more beautiful RIP Mr. Hoon
Rest well Shannon. You are a legend and you live on in our hearts.
"Cuz we're all young and trying to make the best out of a bad situation" what a beautiful soul. ♡♡
Shucks.. Takes me back.. Man, life... It's one weird amazing journey.. RIP Shannon.. Thanks for giving us Blind Melon God..

As a melon fan since the 90s I didn't know this. Thanks for the wonderful story. One of my favorites from them.

They're underrated because they only had one hit.
