He's one of the voices that goes straight to the soul. I cried when he passed & all these years later I'm still not over it. 🖤 hope he rests in peace

His voice cuts straight to my heart and soul too! I cannot believe he died, I still listen to him all the time

[@derekknight9789]

Shannon is alive and leading the world in his own way in another dimension and /or afterlife. He exposed George HW Bush about 6 years before Sept 11, 2001.

Bringing tears to my old eyes. They had too much talent to measure. Shannon was truly one of a kind. Blind Melon forevermore.

Man I just want to say that this is one of the greatest bands that I've ever heard in my life. been listening to these guys since the beginning. I just wish this band was more appreciated these days man. RIP Shannon. U will live forever man

[@andrewknaff9220]

I was one of those that dismissed Blind Melon when they were around. Looking back I blame it on poor choice of singles. No Rain is good, but IMO it is my least favorite song on their debut. I only listened to anything other than No Rain and Galaxie a few months ago. Sure wish I had listened to their debut back in the day. Shannon is so underrated, as is the rest of the band...

[@carrieann6800]

I will Always Love Blind Melon til the day I Die🦋

[@nicholaswohlgemuth1993]

When ever I feel down or in the dumps Blind Melon always picks me up. Almost as if awakens the soul.

Lyrics "The skies have darkened and the seas have dried. Your honest ways have turned to lies. Your hands of promise turned to hands of pain. You take for granted the life that God create The life that God created. The frost and flowers Mother gave to you, the muffled whispers bleeding true. And it doesn't matter how what kind of eyes your looking through. Do you see our Mother's dying? Here's a picture for you. I wanna paint this picture for you! With every black choking for breath and every inch closer to death. Her hands are held out for you. You said the reasons we're in the cities that we all made was that we rage our poor Mother. Poor Mother. Poor Mother. Now that she's leaving and she's thrown off all that she gave, we dig the grave of our poor Mother! The grass ain't growing in my front yard, no. Poor Mother. Poor Mother. Poor Mother.

The chords and his voice are quite literally the essence of beautiful music. i don't know how to legitimately describe this but...I love the archaic recording that this song possesses. It captures a feeling of nostalgia and melancholia.

@TheBrosEpic "but who is going to notice?" It shouldn't matter who notices, whats the worth behind gaining someone's attention? It will only lead to judgement whether it be good or bad. It matters that YOU noticed, that Shannon Hoon noticed, connection is powerful but its your connection to have, and its importance is all in your mind.
