In the last 6 months i've begun getting sober. Getting rid of the booze was easy, getting rid of the coke was much harder but I did it, and finally gave up the opioids and that's the hardest and most painful. If I hadn't rediscovered this song i might've caved in by now. Thank you Shannon ❤
I'm here now, Shannon has been about the only real thing keeping me sane and clean the past week. I can see the light ahead though, and will be passing through very soon!
That’s great to hear. Best of luck with your sobriety. I know it’s a daily struggle. Stay strong and I hope you’re still going strong. If you fall off, don’t despair. One of these times will stick. And I’m hoping it’s this time that sticks for you.
@BabyMetalMemes His band mates stated that while they were making this video they could actually see him getting worse day by day. Also , some people claim that the song is about his " love " for the drug that finally killed him.
Flint Withers Agreed as well. In my opinion if this song hit now with a tad more "heavy"on the riffin'... boom! These guys are right up there with Nickelback-like success. R.I.P. Shan!
I'm so happy that Shannon's legacy and voice is still heard in this world even after all these years. Right now for example, Shannon is singing in Norway. Forever young and missed.
What's the name galaxie:infinity forever. 2:29 i like how he promotes sit ups not the heroin but used it to make great music till the end him Brad Nowell Kurt Cobain the 90's coke/ heroin mill gave us our greats band/vocalists of the last decade of a century. Multitudes of species didn't survive a death of a century,but we're all still here ifin' you're readin' this.
We hung out when I worked at fazolis on Chauncey hill in west Lafayette. I put flowers on his grave every year until I moved to Texas. Now working on covering blind melon songs. In 2024
I'm glad to hear you physically memorialized him when you were able and are now doing the same thing with your music! I honestly hope you do well in the music industry with Shannon's and your own tunes!! Keep Rockin"!!!
This isn’t just the best Blind Melon Song EVER, it’s also underrated as a pop/rock song. Not too short, doesn’t go on forever.Perfectly played and beautifully sung
@@ProductionsGhetto thanks for asking. In my case, because I had judged their previous hits to be "too hippy" for my taste. This song wass stronger, and beautiful.
@@luovince Thanks for responding. What do you mean by too hippie? Just wondering. Also, which hits are you referring to - no rain, change, others? How is this song stronger to you? Again, just curious.
Seriously. I also often wonder what we'd be hearing from him. No voice even close to his anywhere. That scratchy vibrato edge he'd belt out ever so gracefully. My goodness, so damn good!
@@gogoyubari366 record sales radio play and overall respect. They were amazing live, most people just remember the song 'No Rain' a great song. Not a great reflection of their work. Just my opinion 🤷. To each their own. Peace to all✌
Being genuine, being yourself, is such a great risk in life and in art. Love this song. So unique - heavily differentiated verses, pre-choruses and choruses. Epic!!!!!
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. The pain in his voice cuts into me. The desire to be seen for who you really are. The alienation knowing that you'll never truly be recognized.
@@wbwillie I'm not sure you can blame anyone really, if the drummer stopped supplying him he would have got it from someone else. It's just how these things go sometimes.
I saw Candlebox back in Feb 96 in an ice storm in Nacogdoches Tx. They played this for their 3rd and final encore. It was freaking magical. The concert was in a basketball gymnasium...1500 people screaming the lyrics to this song...Kevin Martin...just stood back midway thru the song and was just blown away by how loud everyone was singing. Dude was tearing up...he was like" oh my God! Shannon had to have heard y'all tonight!"
Really?! I never knew they already have know each other! At that time, Blind Melon and Candlebox were my 2 favorite bands, I heard them everyday. I loved knowing that even so many years later! 🥰🥰
The word amazing sometimes gets used too often these days...NOT HERE though!! Thank you for sharing this AMAZING story - I know it sounds crazy, but I can almost transport myself in time and hear the crowd singing this, my favorite Blind Melon song together...goosebumps 🙂✌️
Wish there was a recording of that, 2 of my favorite bands. I saw candle box last Sept. With 3 doors down, they had a moment of remembrance for all the lost artists they'd made friends with over the years including Shannon.
I've been loving this song for years now... there's something about Shannon's singing that is so unique... I like how they mixed some 60-70's hippie elements with grunge... I really love to sing to BM songs... rest in peace, Shannon.
I say the same thing on every BM track, it means the world to me, wrapped in this tiny glass of brilliance and beauty. Your poetry is sorely missed, Shannon :(
I had a weird memory of this song from when I was a child. I wasn’t sure what song it was, who made it or if it even existed. Finally hunted this song down and it sounds prettier than I remember.
+alex cento Do it man. If u got heart and can strum a few chords start a band. Don't listen if people tell you aren't good....fuck em. Practice until u got" blisters on your fingers"...
Nunca me voy a cansar de escuchar esta canción. Es como un mantra. Sigue siendo mi canción preferida. Tiene q estar entre las mejores canciones del mundo. Y shanon: gracias. Nos escucharemos en otra galaxia nuevamente. Peace and love.
The fact that no rain is virtually the only Blind Melon song that got any radio play whatsoever is fucking criminal. Just goes to show that they want to keep good music from the populous, because good music encourages creative thinking. Food for thought, yall.
What a pleasure to listen to this song after almost 25 years. I could no longer the name of band, and by chance today I read a sequence of words resembling "Blind Melon", something like blind ...on . And then thank you UA-cam. "Galaxie". Bingo ! Love all the atmospheres of this song.
@@akicingdeath dude, just how old are you? Don't speak of things you know nothing of if you weren't actually there, by that I mean the 90's - my guess is you weren't even alive then.
Chris Collins Along woth Portishead, definitely. Funny enough they both had amazing albums all in the same year. As for bands now, I'd say Lake Street Dive deserves far more recognition.
Soup is a Awesome Album!! Just have a Hard time watching these last Videos with SHANNON!! He was such a Beautiful Man with a BEAUTIFUL SOUL and Spirit!! The videos that see him deteriorating right before our eyes Tears me Apart!! I know he chose to be a ADDICT, but still so young and such a Gentle Loving soul!!! Wish someone could have saved him!!! Sing with the ANGELS my Love 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I remember listening to the radio years ago. Then the song “I wonder” came on. I was fkn blown away. I walked right down to the music store (yes they existed then) and bought the CD. It stayed in my six disk shuffle CD player for like two years!🤘🏼🤘🏼 Miss you so much Shannon..
I saw Shannon's last live show in Houston. They were great in a small venue like Numbers. I was devastated to hear he past the next morning. What a great talent lost
i love this, dont give a crap about the video. this is my fav. band & my fav. male singer-artist ever. nobody sounds like him.. period. adore these guys.
Steve Tipton And underrated band too! Blind Melon could make their guitar sound like seagulls one minute ans the next like they could be playing with Megadeath...
This video brings happiness, expresses the freedom of letting yourself go and the second guessing that entails. Dudes riding the waves with mischievous yet innocent smiles unafraid. Amazing concept, life saving song
His vision of music was ahead of it's time.
This used to be my favourite Blind Melon song, it still is, but it used to be too.
RIP SHANNON HOON AND MITCH HEDBERG
Agreed
I rarely drive steamboats.
Mine is Toes Across the Floor. I like its psychedelic vibe, and it has hints of Green Day's 'Longview' - about someone being bored and frustrated.
@@srujan00 nah blind melon is 1000% times better then green day
I remember this song back in 95. Still hits just as hard 29 years later.
Such a great music video ❤

Good work man hope ur still good. Opiates are the hardest to kick I hear that.
Shannon Hoon rules
Good on you man 👍 hope it sticks

I can see the light ahead though, and will be passing through very soon!

To this day, this song still gives me chills.
This one, Soup, Sleepyhouse. They all give me chills, I come here when I need to.
@@carolyntalbot947 I come here everyday
I had this CD when it first came out. Chills up my spine
Same ; but , I don't know why . I get so sad when I hear it .... and I listen to it on a loop .
@BabyMetalMemes His band mates stated that while they were making this video they could actually see him getting worse day by day. Also , some people claim that the song is about his " love " for the drug that finally killed him.
Best Blind Melon Song Ever
I agree
Flint Withers I honestly have no idea how this song falls off the radar like it does.
Agreed.
Flint Withers Agreed as well. In my opinion if this song hit now with a tad more "heavy"on the riffin'... boom! These guys are right up there with Nickelback-like success. R.I.P. Shan!
Steve Sullivan yeah rip shannon too young to soon.
I'm so happy that Shannon's legacy and voice is still heard in this world even after all these years. Right now for example, Shannon is singing in Norway. Forever young and missed.
Australia too.
What's the name galaxie:infinity forever.

This isn’t just the best Blind Melon Song EVER, it’s also underrated as a pop/rock song. Not too short, doesn’t go on forever.Perfectly played and beautifully sung
Yesssssssd!!!!!☯️☯️☯️☯️
This album got overlooked for sure 👍
@@spencer6709most of the time over looked albums have the best songs on them
One of the BEST rock albums ever... so much pain in his voice, brings a tear to my eye even after the 100th listen 🙌
Good point, many pop/rock songs DO go on forever, from shite, utterly undeserving ones to good ones that then curdle for that very reason.
“and I’m never really sure if you’ll take what I’m saying the right way.”
I feel that brother ❤️🙏🏻
abosolutely
Love that line!
Yes
And I'm always reassured the situations gettin carried away...
This whole album is amazing.
Yes!
2X4
So amazing!
I have so much love for this song and this band. They are painfully underrated, but for those of us who know how special they are, we are grateful!
Holy shit. This song is way more amazing than how I remember it from my childhood. Like, wtf! this is incredible
You take a different perspective after the guy dies
Dude. Is amazing and sad at the same time
EPIC 😎🤘
👍👍👍👍👍👍
One of the most beautiful songs ever made!
Such a tragic loss.
We still miss you Shannon, we have not forgotten you. 10/21/20.
♥
🌷✌💚
@@virtusetglorie he can't read youtube posts. But hopes you get alot of likes.
Which I don't think he would get.
💯
Underrated as hell.
This vid & song sum up that period in time Summer 95-Dec 96.
Life in Fast Lane, doing too much drugs.
Same, sir... Waaaay too much blow❤
One of my favorite 90's tracks. The vocals are amazing.
I'd never heard this song till tonight. I always used to kind of write off this band but this song changes everything. It's fantastic.
it was the same for me too
Why did you write them off? Just curious.
@@ProductionsGhetto thanks for asking. In my case, because I had judged their previous hits to be "too hippy" for my taste. This song wass stronger, and beautiful.

My faves are Tones of Home and I Wonder, you might like em too
One of the most underrated bands of all time. Imagine if Shannon Hoon were still alive today.......
Seriously. I also often wonder what we'd be hearing from him. No voice even close to his anywhere. That scratchy vibrato edge he'd belt out ever so gracefully. My goodness, so damn good!
So much better live as well
Chris I often do, but the world is not big enough for all of us.
How do you know their underrated?

Shannon's voice was so soothing. He could've sang the phonebook and I'd be entertained. What a sad loss 😪
TheInsignificantAtheist 😂😂 definitely
InsignificantNick when did he die? Very sad 😢
you can thank their drummer for that
@Evil Koala he was his supplier
@@wbwillie I'm not sure you can blame anyone really, if the drummer stopped supplying him he would have got it from someone else. It's just how these things go sometimes.
I was fortunate enough to see them live twice. They are one of a kind. Amazing! Timeless!
you're in a pretty small minority there. that's something to treasure
This song makes me feel so much
me too
I love joanie
joanie Summer of 1995
The early to mid90s? Made the mid to Late60s seem like Sunday School
The 90s were the 60s turned upside down

My favorite band of all time! One of their cds are in my player all the time. It's been 6 months and still
No change. No other bands hit me this hard.
CD better still be there!
Is it still there ?
The drums in this song are sick. This might be my favorite song to play live.
2024, still one of my favs
The light of "life" will always prevail.
I've been loving this song for years now... there's something about Shannon's singing that is so unique... I like how they mixed some 60-70's hippie elements with grunge... I really love to sing to BM songs... rest in peace, Shannon.
Great band,Great sound,Great voice
Still listening Fev. 2021 RIP Shannon
9 June, 2021.
One of their more underrated tunes... ages like a fine wine
I say the same thing on every BM track, it means the world to me, wrapped in this tiny glass of brilliance and beauty. Your poetry is sorely missed, Shannon :(
Their best song!
It’s my favorite of theirs
I Missed the Bus to school in the morning when video aired 1st time. Worth the scolding. And cab fair
I want to get this song out of my head just to be mind blown listening to it for the first time again
By FAR my fav Blind Melon song since 1995.
by far their best song. shannon's voice is amazing
This song is a masterpiece!
Their best song, by far!
This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of
Corporate Execs presuming they know best.
Just rediscovered this song after hearing it back when it came out and not giving it its due……better than I remember really amazing song!!!!
One of the greatest bands ever. So grateful to have seen them live many times. Always magic
Do yourselves a favour buy blind melons albums, they get over looked. Up there with the greats of the 90s
Still Great in twenty eighteen!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
2019
It's a damn shame we lost Shannon so early in his life!!! Can only Imagine what could've been..Love Blind Melon & still a Melon Head!!!!
I had a weird memory of this song from when I was a child. I wasn’t sure what song it was, who made it or if it even existed. Finally hunted this song down and it sounds prettier than I remember.
I can't stop listening to this! Why didn't I get their album "Soup" twenty years ago?!
😂😂😂😂 sooo
fucking SAME
+Jason Bacon same her too. I am fucking late!!!!
***** right on!! That's awesome!
***** that's great! I grew up listening to Melon. I had a huge poster of them above my bed as a teenager
+alex cento Do it man. If u got heart and can strum a few chords start a band. Don't listen if people tell you aren't good....fuck em. Practice until u got" blisters on your fingers"...
We "burnt holes" in our Galaxie.
Summer 95, turned 18yrs old June95.
*i left a piece of myself in the mid90s i have YET to get back.
Nunca me voy a cansar de escuchar esta canción. Es como un mantra. Sigue siendo mi canción preferida. Tiene q estar entre las mejores canciones del mundo. Y shanon: gracias. Nos escucharemos en otra galaxia nuevamente. Peace and love.
Exacto excelente tema
Somos pocos pero ser distinto tiene su recompensa y es escuchar esto para nosotros y nadie más que no vivió los 90
Cierto igual no paro de escucharlo

This entire Planet is DEAF! All the feelings one person can experience in one tiny amazingly beautiful Song!
Years ago I had an endless supply of Nitrous and listening to this spun out on n2o is unforgettable!
this is just such a great song. wow
What a pleasure to listen to this song after almost 25 years. I could no longer the name of band, and by chance today I read a sequence of words resembling "Blind Melon", something like blind ...on . And then thank you UA-cam. "Galaxie". Bingo !
Love all the atmospheres of this song.
This is like blue grass grunge 🤘
Just a great song. It is a shame that many people only remember Blind Melon for the song "no rain"
To be fair, No Rain made a revival cause of guitar hero on tour
@@akicingdeath dude, just how old are you? Don't speak of things you know nothing of if you weren't actually there, by that I mean the 90's - my guess is you weren't even alive then.
Probably one of my favorite videos ever!
After five years of hard fought sobriety, this song always gets me right back on the dope and depressed
Gotta reframe it buddy... I know what you mean..
takes me back.....gosh, the feelings!
They were ahead of their time.
nailed it
most under rated band ever?
Chris Collins Along woth Portishead, definitely. Funny enough they both had amazing albums all in the same year. As for bands now, I'd say Lake Street Dive deserves far more recognition.
Andrew Pack lol I like Blind Melon but they most definitely wasn't ahead of their time
+Emerald kat Do not ever mention Melon and Lake street dive in the same breath...wtf
Dear god this is such an awesome yet flawed video
I freaking love Shannon Hoon. Rest in peace but may his spirit live on for ever and eternity 🫶🏼🤍🕊️🤘🏼

In the larger annuls of Rock history, Blind Melon go down as a one hit wonder (no rain) But to us true fans they were so so so much more than that.
💯💯💯
I remember listening to the radio years ago. Then the song “I wonder” came on. I was fkn blown away. I walked right down to the music store (yes they existed then) and bought the CD. It stayed in my six disk shuffle CD player for like two years!🤘🏼🤘🏼
Miss you so much Shannon..
R.I.P Mr. Hoon 😢 gone but NEVER forgotten 😊
👍👍👍
Beautiful song. Thank You ❤️🩹🙁
Heaven must have started sounding a whole lot better when you arrived. Rest In Peace, Shannon. You are truly missed ♥️
Hoping to meet him there.
I saw Shannon's last live show in Houston. They were great in a small venue like Numbers. I was devastated to hear he past the next morning. What a great talent lost
Is it true that the show blowed?
This song is a timeless classic. Rest peacefully Shannon Hoon.
i love this, dont give a crap about the video. this is my fav. band & my fav. male singer-artist ever. nobody sounds like him.. period. adore these guys.
Man I love this song!!
When he sings "but I keep on a-comin' here..." it illicits a sad grin.
Thank you for inspiring me to pick up the guitar again.
Blind melon
Forever
Man I LOVED this song in HS....listened to it on repeat
Both melon albums, Two of the most underateddddddd albums ever. People think they were a one hit wonder but they really werent!!! Rip
25 years later....still wonderful and exxxxtra special! RIP mister hoon
Such a great tune, so many memories
Definitely one of my all time favorite songs!!
I miss these guys so very much!!
This song is FANTASTIC this video is BEYOND FAB
my children will grow up listening to there guys. #Brazil #BM4ever
Legends never die.
This song literally makes me cry. Every time.
I had my first kiss to this song
What a great song!!!i heard it for the first time when i was 15..... Now i'm 40 and it's remember me what a greats years i had back them
OH sweet nostalgia! This band makes me feel so good, so peaceful, so alive! I got goosebumps all over my body.
Loved this song since day 1!! I have a wonderful life feel extremely blessed!!! but there no one single day I don't miss music from the 90's,,.
This is definitely my favorite Blind Melon song.
single handedly giving this song 1million views 😎
My favorite Melon song. The video takes it to a whole new level.
Even though No Rain is awesome, this song is awesome too. Wish it was a tad longer. It's over so quickly and it leaves you wanting more.
Amen!
Still missed and also a very underrated singer in my book
Steve Tipton And underrated band too! Blind Melon could make their guitar sound like seagulls one minute ans the next like they could be playing with Megadeath...
This and “Soup” are their best songs. They make me feel indescribable
This video brings happiness, expresses the freedom of letting yourself go and the second guessing that entails. Dudes riding the waves with mischievous yet innocent smiles unafraid. Amazing concept, life saving song
What a dope video.
