Blind Melon - No Rain

Good evening. I know I was not able to post something for your morning tunes, but I hope you will forgive me for my first offense? ;)

I ran into a bit of a problem today, and although I cannot express my feelings here or anywhere else, I hope you will take my latest offering and feel what I am trying to express.

Featured song: "No Rain" by Blind Melon [1993] (Alternative rock, folk rock)







Words cannot express how much I relate to this song. Perhaps I am interpreting it incorrectly, but I cannot help but feel as though this song knows exactly how I feel in numerous instances in my life.

You cannot believe how much craziness my life revolves in. It could be that I still have not found that niche where I should be, or maybe I am not using the things I have for what they are meant to be. Anyway, for me, the song indicates some sort of entrapment where people or society have a problem with how a person displays or performs in public.

Anyway, you can do the math.

This song is considered as one of the most memorable songs of Blind Melon. It is best remembered for its music video that shows a little girl in a bumblebee suit who was laughed at when performing. You can see the video on Youtube, but I have not found a clear copy of the video there.

Hope you like it, and hope you drop by again tomorrow! :)

Lyrics:

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane
I just want some one to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
escape......escape......escape......
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don't like my point of view
ya think I'm insane
Its not sane......it's not sane
