No Rain
Blind Melon · Live At The Palace [2006]
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 someone to say to me, (oh oh oh oh)
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
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......
(break)
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
you don't like my point of view
you think I'm insane
It's not sane......it's not sane.
I just want someone to say to me, oh oh oh oh
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
and I'll have it made,
(weee) and I'll have it made,
(no no no), you know I'm really gonna I'm really gonna have it made
you know i'll have it made oh oh oh oh
(i'll have it made) oh oh oh oh
(i'll have it made) oh oh oh oh
(i'll have it made) oh oh oh oooohhh huh huh huh huh huh
No Rain
Blind Melon's "No Rain" remains one of the most recognizable anthems of the 1990s alternative rock era. Originally released on their 1992 self-titled debut, the track is defined by its distinctive acoustic guitar riff and the playful, energetic performance that often features a dancing bee mascot. The song's enduring popularity is evident in its continued presence on live recordings, including the 2006 release Live At The Palace. This performance captures the band's dynamic stage presence and the raw energy that characterized their live shows. As a cornerstone of their discography, the track exemplifies the group's ability to blend heavy rock instrumentation with lighter, melodic sensibilities. It stands as a testament to the band's lasting influence on the genre, securing their place in rock history through a composition that continues to resonate with audiences decades after its initial release.
