As a father of a 1 year old son.. and now having 10 full months sober (1st time in my life and I’m 30) I’ve decided to stay away from music I listened to in active addiction… today I confronted those demons finishing with this song. It’s crazy, I used to cry In the bathroom screaming this song in the shower … today it holds new weight. I love life man & I’m so blessed.. we ALL ARE. Love y’all ❤️
Dave posted this the other day saying he told Shannon he only played at family BBQ’s when asked to play harmonica for them, Shannon said “Dave it’s just one big BBQ” and you have this solo on harmonica because of it. Shannon was amazing. Dave had an amazing solo and the crowd didn’t realize the greatness they were seeing , much like the original Woodstock
Shannon makes that vocal range look so incredibly easy. I really dont think he had even begun to realize how much more that voice could do ! Blind Melon will always be relevant even after we have all passed on. I think shanno was the janis joplin for the 90's. He burned so bright and with white hot talent. He is truly missed and will live on for generations in his music.
That’s Danny Clinch, he’s one hell of a photographer who grew up near my dad in NJ. If you’re ever in Asbury Park, NJ, I highly recommend you check out his studio. He’s toured with everyone from Metallica, Pearl Jam, and blind melon to Prince and Springsteen
Need this more than ever. Thanks Shannon you were an angel. I'm losing my Father to brain and lung cancer. He mumbled to me that today may be the day. He keeps looking up and I think he's looking for the light. I love music so much. It's Keeping me clean. Hope all is well with you and yours.
I feel ya richard, lost my dad to als last yr and in the final days, wk he would always be looking up, transfixed. And when he did die and i ran in the room saying dad, dad!! He had the smallest hint of a smile ,eyes locked upward, life can be painful and easy to let it dictate reasons to be less than we want to be, but youre not alone
Hope you are well Richard. Lost my father in a similar way. The music you share with his soul, his soul is around listen, feel it in the wind. I’m sure your father is proud of you being clean. Keep it up.
1 month sober. Life is a funny thing. I still face my demons on a daily basis. Grateful to be alive. To anyone out there...there is always a chance to go down a brighter path. Stay strong and may God be with you all!
Seeing this band LIVE at 17, a poor kid from Long Island who didn't even have a ticket [but I had LONG LEGS to run with], this was EVERYTHING RIGHT after a decade and a half of EVERYTHING being wrong in my life.🕯
My cousin, and brother, passed away from an overdose last year. We used to listen to this band on repeat. I would sing what I could and he would tell me what a good singer I was. He was always concerned with building up the people around him. I wish with every bit of my damaged heart that he could have cared more for himself. Some times the brightest lights.... Thinking of you Jordan.
@@comanche1234 well he was also apparently on an 8-ball of cocaine, too. Late coming out for the performance as he wouldn’t leave the trailer as his trip wasn’t going as planned and needed the blow to level out… so the story goes. I personally have been there except it was un-pure Molly. Pro-tip: cocaine will completely neuter a bad molly trip and helps with L, too. Thanks Reddit for saving me when out at a bar one time.
Could very well be the greatest of all Rock bands to assemble and perform in this capacity in the past 30 Years . The frontman is likely the most insane charismatic and intellectually high to hit the stage in a very long time . While different in vocal approach than many historic giants of frontmen the power is immense . The band and the vocalist are assured legendary status till eternity .
Dealing with life, coping any way possible with the struggles that Life throws your way I find self listening to this song every day and does not grow old but like fine wine it's gets better with time , I just can't figure this song out.......
Shannon. You was too good to be in this corrupt world . Breaks my heart watching you ,such a sad soul fighting your demons towards the end ,god bless you ❤🙏🇬🇧
Shannon is from here where I live in Lafayette..buried in Dayton small tiny town on the outskirts of Lafayette its maybe 2 miles from me and I visit his grave couple times a yr it so sad standing there its all quiet and the Indiana flat land wind howling by and suddenly it hits you...he's gone and he had so much more to give this is also Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin hometown also they sure as hell turned out a few great rock stars here...but it just so sad seeing shannon grave in tbe back that tiny town church cemetery all the music and lights and dreams GONE suddenly as taking another breath death took him that quick...he lived a dangerous life doing drugs the way he did he wasn't a junkie or none that crap he loved coke and in the end it took him away he wasn't strung out like you hear he took to much and it toxified his body shocked it he had not been out rehab long tolerance down and got ahold Bolivian flake lot purer stuff and did a lil much and died of heart attack God bless you Shannon RIP ol pal.
Recuerdo como lo televisaron en Argentina, puede ser en telefe? que hermoso Shannon, totalmente volado.... pero la rompio igual, el era talentoso en cualquier animo que tenga. Se lo extraña muchisimo.

Listen to all the change versions. On listening closely i didnt really notice that unique echo type sound he has in that rasp . Shannons voice has this weird haunting type sound as well.
And drop the ‘e’. But yeah Layne. Blew them all away although I like blind melons vibe and was more me then. Alice is my vibe now (life can get dark 😉). And I know - I’m a grammar whore but mean well. Cheers!
@@cathy2210Shannon died of a cocaine overdose but he didn’t shy away from heroin. There’s a book on Shannon that talks about his heroin use leading up to and during the recording of Soup
Any Melon Heads know the change in lyrics. At 00:45 Shannon sings different lyrics, he mentions Cold and Here or Heal. The lyrics are the Same on Blind Melon Letterman performance. Any info, Don't eat the Seeds. ✌
Shannon regularly changed that part of the song the most common was “at the bottom of this beer” (example) -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yokQawncXwg.html I don’t know the reason for it though sorry
the Letterman performance he says “don’t think I’ll feel colder than I do on here” referencing how cold Letterman kept the Ed Sullivan studio. (throughout the years guests would occasionally comment how cold it was in there)
Please can someone help me get this version of thsi song on a music file so I can listen to it on repeat until I die. I prefer this live version to the original
The book of changes or the ICheng in Chinese philosophy 8 triiiagrams goes above the door jam to keep out evil spirits Whylie street property management were did I have my seizure 08' Lafayette that's crazy
