I just saw this band at the MusicFest in Clark, NJ...I have to admit they're still electrifying and full of life! They are very passionate and they know how to transfer this passion to the audience... I saw them in Wilkes barre in PA 9 years ago, they have not aged 1 day... they're like wine, the older the better baby!!! and that drummer... wow !!! like the energizer bunny...
My family and I went to Austin to see them and for some reason it was just Ed and Joel, but they did this song and it was even better than you could ever imagine. Yay!
Favorite band ever, though I'm kicking myself for having only seen them live three times over all these years! Every freaking song they put out is fantastic!
To the 4 persons of questionable musical tastes who gave this a thumbs down, I'm sure Ed still loves you. We all, however, you know you for the moronic douches you are. :-)
I don't get why such an awesome band that makes such amazing music is so underrated, many people out there don't know what they missing.... what a shame :(
A girl (you know who you are) I was dating sent me this song and turned me onto CS. Ed's lyrics and vocals are amazing. Check out their concert in ATL from a few years back on Palladia...It ROCKS!
Hey Ed, this reminds me of my ex, stop playing it. I'm kidding. Other then the ex part. I wish I could write as good as you. And play. Thanks would like to see you in cleve soon.
When Collective Soul first hit with gel, december etc, I thought more one hit wonder crap. Heres over 10 years later, and theyr one of my favorite bands ever. I Hope for ten more years!
what a beautiful song and video. If you are a fan...do you know these guys are on Twitter @Collective_Soul ? They got some great things going on, and a new album coming out. @JoLoPe
Hi, guys! i'm from México & the 1st time i heared them (CS) was 10 years ago & i loved it! I have all their albums (Except "After Words", 2007). It's 1 of my favorite bands. When i got married, almost 4 years ago, Under Heaven's Skies (unplugged version) was our song theme and must of our guests loved this excellent song! Me & my wife, are the biggest fan in México of Collective Soul. Thks for a such great music guys!!!! You are the best!!!
@guillermorodher247 Hola excelente canción para tu boda, a mi me encantaría que mi novio me la cantara en nuestra boda, esa o la de "she does", a él ya lo converti en fan también. Espero que algún día vengan a México. Ya tienes el CD "From the ground up-retail" esta increible. Muchos saludos a ti y a tu esposa de parte de otra fan mexicana.
joel is a good guitar player....... i kinda agree, rosss is bether than he butt i see them alive and the sound was pure....... without mistakes......... he do it very well!!!
How music can bring and make this world a better place...this song is far one of the best songs ever written and performed...CS is one of the most under rated band in the world>
On March 30th, 2007, I lost my younger daughter and her best friend to a drunk driver/illegl immigrant who is now doing 40 years in prison. This is my song to them. I have always loved "Collective Soul". They are the most under-rated band I know. The best. God Bless Ed Roland and his Band. Love you Guys. David Kunhardt..Va. Beach.
y favorite band of all time...and I've been around for awhile....Ed Roland is gentle, purposeful, introspective, compassionate, and real. We need more like him in this world!!
Thanks Cheers222forever for the nice comment! I am a huge fan of Collective Soul and have been since I first heard their music in about 1993 when I was living in America (I'm from England).That was before you were even born! They're not well known in England unfortunately but they should be because they're great! I have most of their albums and never get tired of their music. I love Ed's voice but they're just great all around. Better Than Ezra are great too. You'd probably like them too.
A lot of people on here have made comments about Collective Soul having sold out, that they're not as good as they were, etc. What a load of crap! If anyone needs proof that Collective Soul are still great after so many years then this is it. This song is amazing on the album but even better acoustically. Ed's vocals still shine and the musicianship all-round is excellent by all the band members. They can still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I hear their music.
i knoww you posted this comment a month agoo, but i just came across it and i wanted to say.. THANK YOUU ! god, i totally agree with you! ive hung out with the band and they are the coolest greatest people with huge talent and beautiful music ! my favorite band ever and imm prob their biggest fan ! haha and im only 13 (: sounds like you're a big fann too! thanks. csoull wiill always be the greatest band:D
04/02/08 Every so often I go on a tour of the CS site and read comments. I'm glad to say on this last tour I didn't see any CS fans being abusive to each other in their comments. That may be because I didn't see any comments by
"1jennilynn" or by "Kami Says". They were abusve to me in the past. I hope I never see that kind of abuse (ridicule,scourn,name caling) again.
the first time I heard these guys I fell inlove with them right away. He has a great voice, and it was a rough time in my life, but its better to have loved than to have never loved at all.
There's no surprise for me in this song. Those of us who have loved their music have come to expect nothing but the best.....and they deliver every time.
This was so awesome! he has the best voice in all of their songs. Love Collective Soul I saw you a couple years ago in va beach hope you come back! My fave band, these guys have actual talent and it shows in all that they do. This song actually made me cry it was so beautiful! From one singer to another....awesome vocals, superb writing and lots of heart in your delivery. Love ya!
Ed Roland's blog about Afterwords-It feels good to be loved. Thanks to everyone for supporting this band...when you're purchasing our new recording...not only are you giving love to Collective Soul but you are helping to change the music industry. It's so liberating to be an INDEPENDENT band and be Top 5 on iTunes. We would have been 25 on Billboard's Top 200 if they would have let us report but because we think outside the box, make our own rules...we're on the Comprehensive Chart instead.
Deans's blog about new CS album "...looking forward to the upcoming shows in September and October where we'll be playing much of the new music. Look forward to seeing you guys out on the road and remember August 28th Afterwords exclusively at Target stores...oh and digitally of course at iTunes. Peace and Love Dean"
Joel's blog "...I think you'll find it's a little different sound for us...there was never any shortage of ideas or different perspectives on what a song might need. Now that I think of it, there was never a shortage of brute-force sarcasm either! I have to say that I'm very proud of this record and I hope you guys enjoy the music on a really loud stereo. Oh yeah, and yours truly has a song on there. Yes, that's right and I'm singing it as well so go easy on me! -Joel" Target & iTunes Tuesday!
