      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?

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.

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.

      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!!

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.

    These guys were fantastic and burned brightly for a narrow window of time - but staggered by the perennial tradition of rock bands and substance abuse - and then Shannon dying killed them, commercially. I mean, what is the deal with young men in bands - do they really have to do the "27, Jim Morrison thing" to find inspiration and satisfaction as an artist? Shannon NEVER should have died, such an immense tragedy. And do you realize that if had lived, in a month, he'd be 55 years old - which blows my mind and breaks my heart at the same time!

    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..

    The mix of the song used in the video seems different from the album version, if I'm not mistaken; I really like this version, to me, it comes across as more raw and genuine (if that's possible). Speaking frankly, though, both versions are incredible, and the album this was on is absolutely stunning as well.

    In an interview with Details magazine for their July 1996 issue, Blind Melon manager Chris Jones explained that Shannon Hoon would sit on his mother's porch, singing this song over, and the family considers it a song of wonderful innocence; a song of hope. Said Jones: "He wrote it at the very end of a three-day coke binge in Indiana. During the first part I don't feel the sun's gonna come out today he was on the other side of the room, trying to see through the venetian blinds which were drawn so no light was coming in, and he was at a point where he couldn't even get up."

    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.

      Shannon Hoon was an absolutely phenomenal artist and musician. You can choose a different video of the same song and it'll be slightly different every time. "And right now I don't wanna die." Is not sang on the album version. As an addict and even a human being that phrase "RIGHT NOW I don't wanna die." Do you think f e performed this song the day he overdosed he would have sang that line?
