Blind Melon - Tones of Home

What do you think they would say
If I stood up and I walked away
Nobody here really understand me
And so I'll wave goodbye I'm fine
Tones of home said
You don't know the way I'm living
You don't like me
Tones of home, tones of home
And so I'll wave goodbye.
I'm flyin' I'm flyin' home
And I always thought this would be
The land of milk and honey
Oh but I came to find out
That it's all hate and money
And there's a canopy of greed holding me down.
See I'm so high to you, so I'll fade away
I said your on your own
Your mom and daddy said,
That your sister said, and your brothers saying
Everybody is saying
Everybody, is saying I, eye God I gotta go!!
All my friends patronize me and
They say yo hey boy!
Have you found what your looking for.
It seems they don't really know me 'cause it's here
And it's what they can't see.

That was a lot of potential lost when he died

Was that the grunge look? I don't remember them but I probably have.

Anybody listening in 2024?

These guys & STP were my favorites from the 90s

My Dad chaperoned, my friends and I, to one of Shannon Hoons last concerts. We were 14 years old. The night was a memorable one. Shannon Hoon was Lovely. I remember being right in front of him, looking at him, as if he was an Angel. He was beautiful. You have to remember, I was 14:) To this day, I think of him as an Angelic being. He was one of the most beautiful men, I've ever seen. Btw, this was in Milwaukee, I can't remember what venue, one of the old theaters. He was right in front of me, tho. Anyway, he was lovely and he's an Angel. Forever.

Most underrated band ever.

Song is so all-around sweet; even the title is rock on.

So rockin... thanks.

Didn't get it back then, and still don't. At least I tried.

Soooooo damn goood. I'm in my late 30's and a classic rock 60/70's junky, and I do it on vinyl. This band is one of only a handful that I'm missing in my collection. They are awesome. Love it all.

71 n still love this song n band

Was lucky enough to see em in Lafayette before they made it. Electric

one of the greatest rock songs I have ever heard. Haven't heard them all by a long shot but I have heard a few. Listening to music since early Beatle times.

This one and Toes Across The Floor are my favorite tunes by Blind Melon. Man I miss the great music of the nineties.

I AM LISTENING IN 2024 AND LOVING IT 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

People who talk about the history of Blind Melon tend to downplay the popularity of this song. But, I had heard it many times before the release of No Rain

This has a Jane's Addiction sound to it. Love it.

this guy is the most underrated guitar player ever

R.I.P. Rock In Peace Richard Shannon Hoon
September 26, 1967 Lafayette, Indiana
October 21, 1995 New Orleans, Louisiana

Needed back on a stage near everyone.

The drummer really earned his pay on this song!

What do you think they would say
If I stood up and I walked away

And so I'll wave goodbye I'm fine
Tones of home said
You don't know the way I'm living
You don't like me
Tones of home, tones of home
And so I'll wave goodbye.
I'm flyin' I'm flyin' home
And I always thought this would be
The land of milk and honey
Oh but I came to find out
That it's all hate and money
And there's a canopy of greed holding me down.

Oh yes, ate me some mushrooms and took a lil trip down memory road. YeeYee

man what could have been? the 90s really were the last great time to be coming of age

❤😂😂

❤❤😂😢

❤😂

Well you wanna know what I say to you standing up and walking away? Tones of home and goddamit I miss you!!!

Thank god this is here!

It was awesome then new music coming out and waiting to see the videos and really hoping your favorite song off the album would be made into a video. Hopefully by Spike! The most awesome video directors with the most awesome bands it was great when MTV actually played videos!
Rolling around with an half OZ and your friends just rolling J's and jamming out, whoever had the biggest vehicle with the best system was the driver. I had a van with 2 10" subs, 2 12" woofers, a bunch of smaller speakers and 1500 watts, 2 24" black lights and strobes, made everyone listen to all that good music! 🤣
We used to set up the drums in the back, plug in the guitar to the head unit aux input and the bass guitar plugged into the inverter and we'd jam and drive around and watch people looking everywhere for the live band playing and then I'd switch on the interior lights and strobes! 🤣

I wish i could have seen him live❤️

Nobody here really understands me either except this kick ass music that never grows old,peace be with us all,rock n roll forever

I miss you Shannon - I wish you would have made it. i wanted to hear more
