No Rain

Blind Melon · Live At The Palace [2006]

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 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.
