Ultimately, at the point in the song where the word "escape" is repeated, she peeks through a gate, which elicits a look of astonishment on her face, then runs through it to join a group of "bee people" just like her, dancing joyfully in a green field.Īs a result of the video, DeLoach appeared on the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards doing her "Bee Girl" dance to close the show, and also appeared as the "Bee Girl" in the video for "Weird Al" Yankovic's song " Bedrock Anthem".
As the song plays, she wanders through Los Angeles, stopping to perform her dance for whomever will watch, but she still feels alone. It opens on the girl's tap routine the audience responds with mocking laughter, and the girl runs off-stage in tears. The Bee Girl's story is intercut with footage of Blind Melon performing in a field against a clear blue sky. The music video, directed by Samuel Bayer, stars Heather DeLoach as the "Bee Girl", a young tap dancer wearing a homemade bee costume and large glasses, modeled after the Blind Melon album cover: a family picture of Georgia Graham, younger sister of drummer Glen Graham. He said: "The song is about not being able to get out of bed and find excuses to face the day when you have really, in a way, nothing." At the time, Smith had been dating a girl who was going through depression (she would sleep through sunny days and complain when it didn't rain), and for a while he told himself that he was writing the song from her perspective, though Smith later realized that he was also writing about it himself. Īlthough the song is credited to the whole band, it was bassist Brad Smith who wrote the greater part of "No Rain". "No Rain" is in the key of E Mixolydian, and is performed in a moderately fast tempo.
