Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "I didn't mean to feel this way when I walked into the door..." Which song is this lyric from?

Answer: I Wonder

"I Wonder", the third track from their self-titled debut album, is about the band's doomed lead singer/songwriter Shannon Hoon's battle with drug addiction and rehab.

2. "I write a letter to a friend of mind I tell him much I used to love to watch him smile..." Which song does this lyric appear in?

Answer: Mouthful of Cavities

"See I haven't seen him smile in a little while..." is the last lyric to this verse of "Mouthful of Cavities". This song is featured on the band's sophomore album "Soup". It pertains to the strain of dying friendship and the sadness that looms in its wake.

3. "Around and over and in-between the seas, I need to be on top of a mountain where I can see everything, cause this paranoia's getting old." Which song is this verse from?

Answer: Walk

This song is the sixth song on the band's sophomore album "Soup". The song is quick paced acoustic ballad that features the painfully haunting vocals of Shannon Hoon.

4. "Though the gloom of night be round me, though I cannot see my way, yet the Lord will see and guide me because unto Him the night is day..." Which song does this verse appear in?

Answer: Car Seat (God's Presents)

The last section of this song is Shannon Hoon reciting the poem "God's Presents", which this verse appears in. Some of the lyrics are slightly muffled in the studio version of the song but can all be clearly heard in most of the live recordings.

5. The poem recited at the end Blind Melon's "God's Presents" was written in the 1880's by Blanche Bridge.

Answer: True

Blache Bridge wrote "God's Presents" on February 11,1884. Shannon actually had this entire poem tattooed on his forearm, which can be seen on the cover of the band's third album "Nico". Interestingly enough, Blache Bridge is Shannon Hoon's grandmother.

6. "My faith is falling like leaves from a tree" is a line from which Blind Melon song?

Answer: Time

This song is featured on Blind Melon's self titled debut album. The song is one of the darker themed songs on the album for the music is steeped with strong emotions and a sense of anger and confusion.

7. Fill in the missing line: "So if I see you walking hand and hand and hand with the ________?"

Answer: three armed man

This line is from the song "St. Andrew's Fall" which is originally on the band's "Soup" album. The song was remade in the form of "St. Andrew's Hall" with a few melody and lyric changes on the band's last album "Nico".

8. "Pour the red wine, watch the news, maybe ventilate..." is from which song?

Answer: Letters From a Porcupine

The actual recording of this song that appears on the band's third album "Nico" is from an answering machine tape. Shannon and a friend had gotten into a fight and Shannon called him and sang "Letters From a Porcupine" to his answering machine.

9. "Should of never taken the time, cause I found myself living a lonely lie. You said, you left to find yourself..." Which song can these lyrics be found in?

Answer: Soul One

This song can be found on the band's third and last album "Nico". The album was released after lead singer Shannon Hoon died of a drug overdose on October 11, 1995. The album's title refers to the name of Shannon's only daughter, Nico Blue.

10. "Deep inside must defy arrangement. I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now and I'll always try to justify the way I've been behaving." In which song does this lyric appear?

Answer: New Life

Most of the lyrics on the band's second album "Soup" are substantially darker than those that can be found on their self titled debut. This seems to be due to the toll Hoon's drug abuse was taking on his life. "New Life", however, expresses a renewed hope that the birth of his daughter Nico would put his life back on track.

The final line of the song "Oh please bring a new life to me" is haunting due to the nature of the talented Hoon's demise.
