Blind Melon ~ No Rain

"No Rain" was Blind Melon's breakthrough (and only) hit from thier self-titled debut album. The song hit number one on multiple rock charts and number twenty on the pop charts. Many people associate "No Rain" with the official video that features the tap dancing "Bee Girl" character. Blind Melon went on to release two more albums before the death of lead singer Shannon Hoon caused them all to go thier seperate ways. Recently and twelve years since then, Blind melon has released a reunion album titled For My Friends featuring a new lead singer and thirteen new tracks. "No Rain" remains Blind Melon's highest charting song to date. It's a fun upbeat feel good song.


No Rain by Blind Melon 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 that I'm insane.
Its 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'll have it made.
