Blind Melon - ‘No Rain’ Video Review | The One With The Girl Dressed As A Bumblebee
I was never in to Blind Melon at the time they were actually around, only hearing them later because of my girlfriend, and her eclectic taste in music.
This video however, seems to have been remembered fondly by not just fans of the band, but everyone who watched MTV in the early nineties.
It is of course No Rain, and features that girl in the bumblebee outfit, who seems to stick in everyone’s mind, and make them long for those days to come back.
The song is a feel good tune if I ever heard it, and gets in your psyche as soon as you hear it for the first time. It has some hippie sensibilities to it, but at the end of the day is also a kicking California indie track.
Apart from the girl in the video, we get a psychedelic kind of performance from the band as they look like they are standing in a field on the most sunny and colourful day of the year.
It’s the girl that makes it though, as the video follows her around as she meets all kinds of interesting people. Why it works I have no idea, but it does, and is now a classic of the genre.
Song: 9/10
Video: 10/10
