No Rain

"No Rain" by Blind Melon, was released on the band's 1992 self-titled debut album. "No Rain" is well-known for its accompanying music video, which features the "Bee Girl" character. The music video, directed by Samuel Bayer, received heavy airplay on MTV at the time of its release. "No Rain" was originally released in 1992, but was later re-released the following year. It subsequently helped propel Blind Melon to a multi-platinum level. The song is the band's highest-charting song, reaching #20 on the pop charts, and #1 on both the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. A raw, bare-bones remake of "No Rain" appeared on Blind Melon's final studio album featuring Shannon Hoon as frontman. This posthumously-released version is known as "No Rain (Ripped Away Version)"

[Verse 1] All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watching 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 [Chorus] I just want someone to say to me "I'll always be there when you wake" You know, I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made (I'll have it made) [Verse 2] 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 [Solo] [Verse 3] All I can say is that my life is pretty plain You don't like my point of view You think that I'm insane It's not sane It's not sane [Chorus] I just want someone to say to me "I'll always be there when you wake" You know, I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made [Harmonization Outro] I'll have it made I'll have it made I'll have it made I'll have it made
