  • I don't feel the suns comin' out today
    It's staying in, it's gonna find another way
    As I sit here in this misery
    I don't think I'll ever no ??
    See the sun from here

    And oh as I fade away
    They'll all look at me and say, and they'll say
    Hey look at him, I'll never live that way
    And that's okay
    They're just afraid to change

    When you feel your life ain't worth living
    You've got to stand up
    And take a look around and you look way up to the sky
    Yeah, and when your deepest thoughts are broken
    Keep on dreaming boy, 'cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die

    And as we all play parts of tomorrow
    Some ways will work and other ways we'll play
    But I know we all can't stay here forever
    So I want to write my words on the face of today
    And then they'll paint it

    And oh as I fade away
    They'll all look at me and they'll say
    Hey look at him and where he is these days
    When life is hard, you have to change
    When life is hard, you have to change Writer/s: BRAD SMITH, CHRISTOPHER JOHN THORN, CHRISTOPHER THORN, GLEN GRAHAM, SHANNON HOON, THOMAS ROGERS STEVENS, THOMAS STEVENS

  • Jonah Lake from GoteborgThe song Change musically must have been inspired by the song Can't you see from the 70s. Same chords and vibe.
  • T Metz from MdSuch a loss of what could have been a legend. Huge heart but the drugs took him way too early, like many other legends. Mouthful of Cavities, head full of catastrophy.
  • Joel2point0 from Nashville, TnI think that Shannon Hoon was one of the most emotional song writers to ever live, which makes him one of the best song writers to ever live.
  • Brandon from San Diego, Cain my opinion blind melon was one of the greatest bands of all time, all their songs are absolutely beautiful and amazing, everytime i think about the loss of shannon hoon it makes me want to cry R.I.P. Shannon
  • Joey from Westville, NyAbsolutely awesome song. Artistic and beautiful.
  • Matt from Boston, MaGreat points by Chuck. It's sad to think that this band may be lost to the dust bin of history. I actually think Soup is even better than the first album. Maybe some day people will rediscover Blind Melon the way people rediscovered The Doors in the early 80's.
  • Skyler from Toledo, OhShannon is a double edged sword... the feeling and emotion he sings/writes with could not have come without the pain of addiction (my opinion). So, if he would have ever gotten "his act together", would his music have been so great?
  • Michael from Portland, Orchuck, it would be a waste of talent had they never created anything. they created two amazing albums, and put on countless cconcerts that inspired many
  • Chuck from Houston, TxI dont think most people today realize what a loss Blind Melon was, because Shannon Hoon couldn't get his act together and keep himself clean. I know it sounds harsh, but if you consider the waist of talent that occurred with his passing, its just sad to think the potential that band had, what could have been...
