No Rain
This song is a song that most of us will remember because of the video that accompanied it affectionately referred to as the little girl in the bee costume video. Blind melon was the band that brought us this smash hit in 1992/93. The song was also used in 1997`s Howard Stern movie Private Parts but by then Shannon Hoon the lead singer was no longer among us. I am unsure if Blind melon would still be churning out hits today but no matter they did give us one great song that will shall always remember fondly. As I reminisced with some friends of mine we could not help but remember that for most of us at that time this album was one of if not the first CD we ever purchased, it seem kinda strange but to us in that moment there was no better song than no rain and of course we all knew every single lyric so that we could sing along. For those of you who are not familiar with this song here are the lyrics so that you to may enjoy the songs as much as we did back then and then you to will be able to sing along.
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
So in conclusion lets all enjoy one great song from over 15 years ago 17 to be precise ( wow do I feel old ) and sing along with fond memories of a simpler time were all a little girl wanted was to perform dressed as a bee 
Blind Melon reunited with a new singer and put out a new album last year called “For My Friends”. The album is actually pretty good, but they had some problems with the new singer…Travis, I think is his name…anyway, he’s gone, they fired him, and now the Blind Melon boys are hunting for yet another new vocalist.
