Blind Melon - No Rain - Lyrics

[@getsufuma2597]

The juxtaposition between the upbeat happy melody and the melancholy lyrics about depress really makes this song a true work of art.

[@themilerchannel9046]

It´s a masterpiece

[@amandadixon3594]

Or mentally insane/ Bi Polar ;)

[@amandadixon3594]

either way I love it. Maybe b/c it is a bipolar master piece and I can relate.

[@dailyflea7845]

Michael Kaczmarczyk do believe heroin was his drug of choice considering that's what he over dosed on

[@wagesofsinn3881]

This is an amazing song about crippling depression and being far away from your loved ones or friends as people that can help you. It's a fantastic display of how someone tries to put on a happy appearance while their tormented inside. I don't know what it is about songs where the point is depression, but they're always my favorite ones.

[@connorcrazy9342]

I totally understand what your saying and I feels like this song quite a bit

[@qwerty_1942]

I thought crippling depression was a meme

[@deebancroft3141]

The first thing I do when my depression gets really bad is put this song on.

[@justaprotogen8391]

It's the idea of likeing something morbid, you know it's moraly questionable, yet we find them the most intriguing. It's easy to write a happy song, but sad songs take care, love and precision, usuly a feeling the artist has felt before.

[@justaprotogen8391]

Do note, this is a theory

[@johnwillis1656]

Almost 64, and I bought the 45 when it came out,its orange, still plays great on my stereo, feeling old but not depressed.

Thank you Lord for them 90's grunge kids,they we're and probably still am in touch with what's going on.Im a 60's born man that wouldn't trade anything anytime for my grunge bands.THEY BROUGHT BACK the 60's style of mixing current events, feeling's and of course the trouble down in a rig brings.

[@antoinettafisher5390]

I agree! But, no bans can beat the original classic rock, Southern Rock, as others....however, Grunge was so unique and powerful emotions! My favorite Audio Slave! Chris, Linkin Park, Eddie Vetter...etc

I have always loved this song. Depression is no joke and this song i can relate to the most now at this time in life.

[@janhotz9039]

I can honestly say that I never had a clue what this song was about! I loved the beat, it seemed like fun song. How ironic, coming from someone who suffered from depression for most of my adult life 😕. Now here I am at the age of 71, going on 72, and here's the kicker~I no longer suffer from depression, and haven't for several years~go figure! Merry Christmas!

[@duanow75]

@janhotz9039 that's awesome. Merry Christmas

[@ramses1]

It's absolutely impossible for me To listen to this song just once. The lyrics and melody are just to addicting. It's Still as great as the first day it came out. This 90's music era (as far Rock, Hip Hop/Rap, & R&B) was so dope, there will never be another one like it. This song is a beautiful master piece IMO. Genius work.

[@Raymond85301]

agreed !

[@ddbradley519]

Me too, once is never enough. Change is also a great one

[@christopherdixon3274]

I'm a songwriter myself and I really love his lyrics..lyrics are so situational and left to interpretation but I can always understand where he's coming from with his words..and that voice so imperfect but right on with his delivery,he just nails it and makes it all make sense.

[@bhavyagautam2788]

Odd.....this song has depressing lyrics but still can lighten up any sad person's mood

[@reepicheepsweet8175]

I always found this song very melancholy and depressing. It's truly a "cry for help song" from an eternally angst-ridden era. And rightfully so. It appealed to us. He knew who to speak to when he sang those lyrics...us. perfect placement of time for this song

...after 30 yrs I am hearing .... thank you..

[@aimeehansen199]

July 2020. One of my all time favorites since HS in the 90’s. Emotionally wrecked because of life, driving or walking in nature and singing this at the top of my lungs with a huge grin on my face. Paul Simon’s Cecelia is also on this playlist. :)

Heard this for the first time yesterday (Sunday 4th September 2023). A flight from Toronto to Calgary, for a family holiday to Banff. I'd had the Air Canada music channels on, after an episode of Young Sheldon, and Rocky. Up all day flying from Manchester (England) to Toronto. The channel said 60s and 70s music, Stingray Music, but this played. I liked it.

Living in the ghetto and realizing my environment and family wasn’t the best in the 90’s I love hearing this on the box channel back to back them tears held me together no rain no pain stay focus on your higher self made me realize the world fucked up because at that time I learned about race... how y’all not happy I was like life is not fair Idk where I was going but I wanted to run far as I could forever... not living in the ghetto today but it was a long journey one of the first songs outside of rap that made me feel something.. I felt alive and understood

[@timthegallant]

Big shout to all those whove suffered the pain and numbness of depression where excisting is the feeling rather then living but i am a survivor of this and there can be a better day.i found it with the right support around me.keep going people.props for writing this tune.lets talk about it.😊

[@JasonT-j8h]

Little Children, listen: can you hear it, coming as from afar? Time is running out. Turn back! Seek balm for your eyes, ears, hearts and minds. It is the Word of God, Jesus is the Messiah, turn to Him only for your salvation! Learn to love, sisters and brethren, you who are near and you who are far; listen and pay attention? I asked myself, where is Wisdom? (Job 28 , John 1:1, John 3:16-17) Hear what I'm telling you, Ezekiel 37:14-15. Awake, awake all you Hungry, all you Thirsty, seek Salvation unto your souls and be reconciled to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Son of the Most High and -only- God! Thanks for listening to someone like you, little children.

I remember hearing this song on a blank cd I had found in my uncles truck one time. I must've been about 7 years old. I always skipped it for some reason. I ended up losing the cd somehow at one point some time after that but Id always catch myself humming the guitar melody on the intro every once in a while. To the point that I had to find out what it was called. I didn't know the lyrics though due to me always skipping the song before it got to the 10 sec mark. Anyways, about a couple years ago I was working nightshift at a gas station and it came on the radio. I pulled out shazam and felt very satisfied at finally figuring out the name of this song.

Shannon was a good guy and sadly, lost to cocaine overdose. People, drugs are not the answer to life's heartaches! The lyrics to the first song he wrote is on his tombstone: "I know we can't all stay forever, So I want to write my words on the face of today and they'll paint it".
