A história da banda começou em 1990, quando o seu líder e vocalista Shannon Hoon deixa sua cidade natal, Lafayette - estado de Indiana - em direção a Los Angeles, onde encontra os outros membros do grupo.
Já em 1991 o Blind Melon assina um contrato de US$ 500.000 com a Capitol Records e começa a gravar seu primeiro disco, que tinha como título o nome da banda e viria a ser lançado em setembro de 1992.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

Changes : Blind Mellon AG I don't feel the suns commin out today DGA Stayin in, gonna find a better way. AG As I sit here in this misery, I don't think DGA I'll ever see (lord) the sun from here.
DGADGA And oh, as I fade away. They'll all look at me and say. DGA And they'll say, Hey look at him, i'll never live that way. GD But thats ok, Their just afraid of change.
When you feel your life ain't worth livin You've gotta stand up and take a look arounds you then a look way up to the sky. And when your deepest thoughts are broken keep on dreamin boy, cause when you stop dreamin its time to die.
And as we play the darts of tomarrow some ways will work and other ways we'll play. But I know we can't all stay here forever so I want to write my words on the face of the sky, .. and then they'll paint it.
(Verse chords for solo)
And oh as I fade away, they'll all look at me and say, 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. When life is hard you have to change. The vocals get alittle hard to fit in, in the second verse and chorus. Listen to the CD, you'll get the general idea. Alot of the time he plays the A chord hes doing this riff thing. It looks like this in tab: E -0-------0--0--0--0- B -2-------3--2--0--2- G -2-------2--2--2--2- D -2-------2--2--2--2- A -0-------0--0--0--0- E -------------------- Again listen to the CD to here where he does the riff and to get the feel.
