Recorded: during the U.S tour in 1994
Shannon: vocals, acoustic guitar
Produced by: Blind Melon
Live Performances: very rarely
Notes:
This
song was recorded in a St. Louis hotel room during the tail end of the
19 month world tour for the first album.
Christopher: That's recorded in Somewhere USA. I thought it would have made a great title for the record. It just sort of sums up a Shannon Hoon song for me.
Rogers: That's what Brad wanted to call the record. That song's a real slap in the face. It kinda makes you mad at Shannon. Well, then, why aren't you here? But it's such a beautiful song, it disarms your anger.
Lyrics:
Life
ain't so shitty
There's
a lot that you can be
And
ain't it a pity
But
its alright to smile back at me
And
if we both go there
We
can count on problems that we might not necessarily
Come
in contact with,
Hey
wake up, do you know where I'm coming from
Life
ain't so shitty
There's
a lot that you can be
And
ain't it a pity
But
its alright to smile back at me
And
if we both go there
We
can count on problems that we might not necessarily
Come
in contact with do you know where I'm coming from
