Galaxie (song)
"Galaxie" is a single by American rock band Blind Melon. It was originally recorded for their 1995 second studio album ''Soup''. Background The song uses the main subject matter of Blind Melon lead singer Shannon Hoon's 1963 Ford Galaxie to also explore the deeper themes of his first love and break-up. He had originally bought this car used in New Orleans, for rather cheap, as the doors wouldn't even open. The original title for the song was called "I'm a Freak," but Hoon hated the original lyrics and refused to sing them. During the recording sessions Hoon would get frustrated and drive around the city in the car. Glen Graham believes it was during one of these drives that Hoon came up with the final lyrics to the song. Hoon never confirmed this claim. Music video The music video for "Galaxie" featured a cameo by Timothy Leary, and revolves around a 1967 Ford Galaxie, fitting the lyrics. The video is considered a haunting premonition of Hoon's overdose later in 1995: Hoon was on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
