Blind Melon - I Wonder Lyrics
All alone the broadening skies
Under the every night I will lie
Scratching claw and grip the rails
Every day my living hell
Oh God you know I've tried
and oh I tried......
Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime
I choose, and then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane
What a place for one to find
Now you see I'm watching everything
I do and they're watching everything I say
Why wont they leave me be?
Why am I even here? I wonder
You leave me wondering
Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me
Now in my corner I got the ceiling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth's my life
I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door, Lord
Then they ripped away my memories
And I cant remember who I was before.
And I only wanted to be 16 and free.

Blind Melon I Wonder Comments
Rest In Peace Shannon
The kind of song that cleans up my ears from all the garbage music from nowadays...
This song hits home since I was a kid
They weren't around long enough. No Rain was on rotation in MTV and boom. Overdose... they never pulled off the rest of the tour with a different lead singer. A damn shame.
2020...
Love,,it👅
Good video,,,❤️
This band is inspirational and in my opinion one of the best bands of all time.
Shannon was so immeasurably talented and gorgeous. He is in his purest form here. Every single person that got to be a part of this day are some of the luckiest people on earth. This will forever be my favorite video.
Blind Melon and a bag of weed.... nuff said.
Ripped away my memories and I cant remeber.. who I was beforeeeee
wonderful to my ears !
Beautiful, timeless :))
In the 90s they said the year 2000 would be the end of the world. They were right in a way.
RIP, Shannon. The music lives on...
2019 now, still an amazing song! Holds up well with time. By far one of the most underrated bands and albums of all time.
Takes me back to being 16 and free!
This is one of my favourite Blind Melon songs ❤️ Memories.... 💕
Nearly obsessed with this one.
I wish I could have been in this video.
I kinda like Miss Partsinevo….
R.i.p brother
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR SHANNON HOON ❤❤❤ Gone way too Soon but never forgotten. Still listening to your Amazing music 2019 ❤❤❤
blind melon is the best most underrated band ever
Angelgrip33 Lancaste/philly pa. Atlanta/summerville Ga 💓work hard, kikit,stay loyal mathafkaz
Love this song. But I love how he sings through 1:40 it gives me a certain joy.
Sometimes I hearJanis Joplin in his voice.
Hes the male vertion,lol! I love them both
This album is a true masterpiece
I so love this song
Best band of my lifetime
i miss shanon
The best video ever love the Woodstock feel. peace love and happiness to you all.
"And I wonder why I'm even here?"
You saved me in 2019
Classy joint
Like Shannon, I was a hyper kid and still to a lesser extent a hyper adult. But Shannons the first well known person Ive descovered that is like me. And for that reason, will always hold a special place in my heart. God bless you Shannon. I sadly never got to meet you but hopefully one day when I cross over the bridge, I'll be able to thank you for being a special part of my life.
One hit band some say, One of the best bands ever to have set foot on a stage, I say
"I only wanted to be 16 and free." - Blind Melon
I wish people could give songs that doesnt have music videos as many views and likes as the ones with music videos. I listened to their 3 albums and I am not disappointed.
Some thing like some one saw him singing and said u should start your own band your voice is good so he did one album now he's dead by
Magic group,the best voice of those years
somzera braba!
I miss the 90's so much.
So do I. So do I. -Six
U&me both, us! I was 16 in 94'...this is the only band I can listen to and still get that feeling like it's the 1st time ever hearing it..its SOOOOOO good!
Im old mud.
Oh yeah, make sure you smoke a huge fatty while you spin this
This video is all acid vibes. Friends, music, a sense of sadness and a connection only the young can feel.
The blond isn't dirty at all
Saudades 😞
The solo section always reminds me of The Doors
I love this song.
You are so missed. Richard Shannon Hoon. Only one. Where did the time go...Rest In Peace 💫
That’s a great song. 💜🎼✌️💚
I wonder if he's talking about the industry watching everything he was doing and was living in fear.
Top 5 bands of all time in my opinion.
This video is one of my favorites of all time it captures the post hippie grunge fusion beautifully!!!!!
One of the Greatest lyricists/vocalists ever.
Oh my, I wasted 20 years of my life not knowing this song
i love this song.
Get me outta here man
Masterpiece!!...
Quanti ricordi
RocknRoll's got PAW PAWS🐾🐸🐃baby,°°⊙●☆□☆♡♡<☆♡<•☆☆《《□☆□☆□《□《☆□•○☆□《□☆○
Love ya blind melon♡♡
this hippie vibe omg its so great
How i miss the 90's.
I love you!! 😍😍❤❤ lo amooo ..mi ídolo
It'd be nice to hear from those extras that were in this video. I'd like to know what that day was like shooting this.
Man I love that custom 72 tele.. the hot rail bridge pick up soo nice!!
If you don't sing out loud to at least part of this then we can't be friends... I didn't mean to feel this way
I wonder if Shannon knows how much he is missed?
Hopefully, he is so far from this world that it's irrelevant.
Why am i even here
This is the 90s for me and I'm thankful for it.
I was 16 an free 20 + years ago love you Shannon
Gates FREE gates
God, I miss this band like a dead friend...
one of my all time fave songs !!+
Can't get enough of his voice and his style! Now forever silent...i hate drugs and I especially hate pushers. I know he had a choice and could have chosen not to take it but to me it is the lowest kind of person who financially benefits from something that will likely kill others.
Dislike ! COMMercials
Great band. Underrated. Still love them after all these years and theyre still original.
I remember when this video was made in 1992 in Tibbee, MS.
Were you there, or are you privy to this info by other means?
A masterpiece. Classic!... Love his feeling! Like a good rocker!
greentree apartments indianapolis ind /1994 / do not hang with garbage they know how to go thru the trash and find something to gain from it . they will bring you down in all the bullshit . ---------- ----------- (MULDEW) gary b. ☆
one hit wonder my ass, these men provided great soulful works of art and people look right past it
oh and same shannon, thats all i wanted too, 16 and free
Beautiful song ❤️
Lets all say it together in 2018..fucking genius..
Man I miss his magical Voice....
Heroin... a musician's best friend.
This is an amazing group...pure genious on more than one level...
Freedom is everything. Don’t let anyone take yours.
(Intro) "All alone, the broadening skies
Under thee, every night, I lie (every night, I will lie)
Scratch and claw and grip the rails
Every day, my living hell
Oh God, you know I tried
I know how hard I tried
Ya know I tried"
Is it just me or does that song put you to tears or What? Galaxie change an I wonder best song ever for being melon.but I love every song. I loved the 90 s.so glad I grew up then.
3:51. Shannon has his arms around Christopher and Chris's expression is like "this is such a bullshit shot" lol.
There are 203 assholes who don't know amazing music
Leave me be. RIP.
Rest in peace Shannon you will forever be missed!
90's last great breath of music. There's a few gems out there but 90's and before was loaded with great music
Shannon Hoon! I'm still watching you ;)
Great Band for a too short time.
A most tragic loss. One of the most under-rated American bands of all time. Shannon lived fast. God bless and keep him. One of the finest live acts EVER!!!
