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.

Artist: Blind Melon Song: Soul One (as heard on Nico)
Transcribed by: Rob Coyle
This is an amazing song...I highly recommend this CD to anyone and everyone, even though it got horrible reviews...Anyway, these are just the chords...To get the right sound, strum the chord and then pick the chord....its two guitars on the CD, but you get the feel of the song this way as well. This is all by ear, so if something isn't working for you, write back and I'll change it, but I think this is pretty close to the real thing...

Lyrics
How come, girl was there when I needed one How come, girl was there when the song is done Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light Okay, open my arms they were right
She was my soul one She left she was the only one She was the sun, the sky blue eyes She was my soul one
Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry Outside, I cursed the birds and the sugar sky How long, take to realize she's the one How long, until I find my last and lonely soul one
She was my soul one She left she was the only one She was the sun, the sky blue eyes She was my soul one
Should of never taken the time 'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie You said, you left to find yourself But I never, no I never got the chance to say goodbye
She was my soul one I thought she was the only one I thought she was . . .
