  • I met Collective Soul a couple years ago at a meet and greet. Ed Roland left me speechless and giggling like a 16 year old. Great band!!

  • This video been made in 2007? reeeeeally? :P

  • I heard this song at work in the Bar the other day. I was sweeping the floor when I found myself listening to it. Made me laugh out loud cause my best friend made up a nickname for me earlier this year and i ended up at a scoial gathering where people who werent even in on the inside joke were hollering "Hollywood!" at me ... ah, good times:-)

  • i found this song from waiting in line listing to the radio at jack in the box

  • What the fuck is this. I don't wanna rip on them but this song sucks balls. They've got some decent songs from the 90's but this is terrible

  • @mushroomheadistitz hbu go fuck yourself dick face

  • meh i do like a variety of music but i dont like this song

  • what, the, fuck?!

  • Ed Rowland is such a douchebag.

  • Comment removed

  • Catchy tune when I first heard it but like Ed dark hair better. They are my favorite 90s band.

  • @johnnacalverase01: I totally agree. Ed is a hottie. And I'm a huge Collective Soul fan. But he needs to learn how to dance. :)

  • nice music

  • Ed Rowland always has a different look and god damn he is hot in every one of them!

  • It's got that Cars(did Ric Ocasek produce this ?) nu-wavy feel to it . I love Heavy too - probably my fav by them cuz that riff is soooooo bad-ass that it's ridonkulous ( that's like as ridiculous as a donkey , I guess) anyway - yeah kids , lighten up Francis , and enjoy the cheesier , if you will , side of Collective Soul !!! You're not as cool as you think you are - nobody is . Sorry . Deal .

  • God Bless You for 2:12 

  • Thank You. I Love YOu so much. Eternally. HOpefully.  : )

  • yeah awesome song man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yow : )

  • this song is so colorfull

  • Ed Roland Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

  • this song reminds me of a day at the beach with nothing bt good friends having fun.

    nt necessarily the lyrics just the music lol

  • With his blond hair the lead singer kinda looks like Owen Wilson with a straight nose. Nice song, it's good to hear new Collective Soul.

  • WTF IS THIS XD

  • OK song but it gets pretty repedetive

  • this is always on the radio, pretty awesome ;)

  • This is what a music video should be like...and this is how a band should sound...Collective Soul is freaking awesome!

  • Ed Roland looks like he's still in his mid 30's in this video, even though the guys pushing 50.

  • Saw these guys two nights ago, they're incredible live.

  • Awsome...!!!!!! 

  • What the hell brand of guitar is Joel playing with that funky tuning fork "U shaped" headstock?

  • @LesPaulCustom79 mjguitar.com

  • @LesPaulCustom79 They have aluminium necks, too! But I can't remember what they're called :(

  • The June 23, 2010 CS Concert in Atlanta was simply awesome. The entire Atlanta crowd sang the lyrics perfectly in tune with them on Shine and Run, when they turned the lights on the crowd. Everything they played was flawless and tight, they have come along way since 1994. The red light bars on stage flashing in time with the riffs to Heavy was pretty Kul as well.

  • @LesPaulCustom79 I was there too... it was a perfect night and they were unbelievable. The only thing I would have changed is everyone was being a little conservative and I would have preferred to have been up dancing to every song. My first trip to Atlanta... heaven. I'll be back as soon as they schedule another show.

  • Started to sound a bit like Journey at 1:39 :D XD

  • well, this is DEFINATELY a change for the band, isn't it? Still AWESOME!

    Just goes to show, if a band's good, it doesn't matter what they play!

  • Ed is my cousin!

  • cooolll

  • I first heard this when i was in Universal Studios at CityWalk :) total rad tune

  • Whoever is responsible for posting this video needs to re-edit it. It speeds up for a few seconds during the intro.

  • @6672rock i think that speedup changes the waveform just enough so that the youtube autobot doesn't pull it for copyright infringement.

  • @6672rock

    I've noticed it in ALOT of BlankTV's videos, i'm fairly sure its so they cant say the song is copyright infringement and turn off the audio.

    By changing the audio slightly, they can't remove the audio.

  • @tom3319 Sure they could do that. or they could just put this in the description:

    All content in this video is solely property of Collective Soul and their label and is not intended to surpass any type of copyright law. It is being used for leisure only; therefore a dispute claimed by youtube should not occur.

  • @6672rock re-edit yourself fuck!

  • @6672rock lol i was thinking the song is like this O_o

  • @6672rock that's done on purpose so you don't use the recording...

  • These guys have been my favorite band since their first cd they just keep getting better

  • Amazing song. Amazing song writers. One of the few bands I can listen to an entire album from start to finish. You should check out there other albums/songs.

  • haha 0:21 threw me off

  • OYE ESTA PULENTA LA MUSICA CAUSAAA

  • :P Gets Alittle Catchy Sometimes :$

  • The Band disappeared because they got rid of one of their band members for the SAFETY OF THE BAND. The had to find their sound and when he (Ed) was comfortable,, and they did change,, he still sings a good song. Music may have picked up,, he still puts out good stuff... Ross Childers was a threat to the band, he wanted MORE and then he got violent and they had to replace him.

  • @WarmothGuitarist OMG didnt know that tidbit,, He really wanted to have power over Ed Roland,, what a LOW LIFE

  • @WarmothGuitarist Banging the leader of the band's wife, pretty much explains why Ross is not in CS anymore and Joel is in CS. Some of us met Joel out in the parking lot of Chastain Park Amphitheater. He forgot something in his car and had to come back out to get it. He was super nice, signed autographs for a bunch of college girls for a good while.

  • @WarmothGuitarist This also explains the lyrics to Why Pt.2. I think Ed wrote those songs while he was breaking up with his wife.

  • wow this shit is fucked. they make the Beatles look heavy

  • What the hell happened? This is the kind of shit I'd expect from Hanson.

  • I am seeing these guys on June 23, 2010 in the best venue in "HOT-LANTA", Chastain Park Amphitheater.

  • Kosche's rig, a VOX AC30 on top of a Marshall 4x12 (weird)? Vox and Marshall should never be used in the same sentence. I like Marshall amps by the way, Vox not so much.

  • Ed Roland rules..... I remember when "Shine" was released in '93.  I wisg "Wasting Time" got more air time. That is a good song. But look how far they have come. Still rockin!!!!

  • my favorite song from this band is heavy go collective soul you rock

  • @guitarjamer9 Yeah, I prefer their old heavy riff stuff, like Precious Declaration, Heavy, Simple, Where the River Flows, etc....when Ross Childress was playing Lead.

  • @LesPaulCustom79 Yeah, I personally preffered Ross. But I still think this is a good song, just because It's a great band.

  • Man, are these guys hot or what???

  • how come it speeds up in the intro all of a sudden? it doesnt do that on the album i have.

  • Hollywood........

  • songsucks

  • Wow. At first it wants to be a rip off of the Archies. Then it just becomes absolutely insipid.

  • @deslock1 A+++ review. This song says, "We're absolutely desperate to get back on the radio."

  • the fuck!

  • I like 'em, but too many bands are better, Everclear for one has trumped these guys.

  • so ein treck (kotz) thats bullshit

  • Comment removed

  • check out my cover of collectives soul's masterpiece, December at

    myspacedotcom/stathopoulos

  • FYI, Blank TV, this video screws up towards the beginning, skips, speeds up, then gets right again, but needs fixing.

  • It's got a sound reminiscent of The Cars.

  • @canusahall: it does remind me of a cross of the Cars' "Magic" and the Archie's "Candy Girl".

  • @NickB1967 I saw them this past weekend and Ed said he was listening to the cars when he wrote this.

  • anywhere I click in the timeline takes me directly to the "HOLLYWOOD" part of the verse, is that good or bad?

  • Long live the Soul........ Collective Soul that is!!!!!!!!

  • Best vocalist ever.

  • great song

  • Does everything have to be "Heavy" for you morons? This is an awesome song. Enjoy it.

  • @Upyrazz You gotta understand that BlankTV is typically for heavier music.

  • @Upyrazz

    no. but it has to be GOOD. it's no coincidence this album tanked.

  • @sultanofsick

    This album is great. Listen to it all the way through. The album quite possibly didn't sell because it was an indie release and not a major label issue like all of their albums 1991-2001

  • @BRProvince i DID listen to it all the way through. i own it. it's just plain sub-par. new vibration is passable, persuasion of you is about on par for their album tracks of previous records, and Georgia Girl is the saving grace of the album; the only reason it wasn't a flat out failure.

  • @Upyrazz I hear ya. It is a great song..... I like all their music. The Goo Goo Dolls are my favorite and if its not 'IRIS' then people think the same...

  • grunge.....

  • Agreed

  • well why dont you just complain about it on youtube.... oh wait

  • can i be the first? oh wait

  • I'd REALLY LOVE to hook-up with Ed again on Hollywood Blvd. !!! What can i say? a girl's gotta pay the bills some how! LOL!LOL!LOL! I'm crackin up!

    He is sooooooooooooooo hot! oxo............

  • This song reminds me of the Cars.

  • Grew up listening to these guys never gets old!

  • COLLECTIVE SOUL my Favourite Band All Of Time... Nothing More i Can say.. They're Just GREAT!!

  • no one does it like Collective Soul...too few bands consistently put out good music, and even fewer have albums where every song is great...Collective Soul seems to manage that with every release. I love them as much as when I first heard them back in the early 90's. Rock on CS! Even your pop songs are fun!

  • Not their deepest stuff, but good. Not every painting is a Mona Lisa, either. CS is a dynamite band. One of few bands who could do a double CD greatest hits of all top quality music. Consistently great guitar work..

  • Collective Soul doesn't have a bad song. Every song by them is good. They are one of two bands that I can say that about. The other is Creedence Clearwater Revival.

  • haha, funny comment

    but i dont disagree!

  • this makes me miss california (home) lol. dont ever move to wisconsin... even if youre forced to -.-

  • lol, I left Ohio, which is a great state to live in Baltimore... still trying to figure out why

  • Ohio is getting pretttttttty old....

  • @meowcat121 I would rather live in wisconsin. I was born and raised there. Just don't move to missouri nothing much in this state except for along I-70

  • @teri81979 where in wisconsin? ive been to mo many times. used to live in KCK and go across the state line alot to KCMO.

  • @meowcat121 born in Oshkosh then lived  in the Appleton area from 1986 till 2003 when I moved to missouri. I live in the northeast corridor of missouri. My town was featured in last yrs season of Storm Chasers on Discovery Channel

  • @teri81979 isnt that near st joseph? oshkosh and appleton. been to both. not my cup of tea. appleton is a min madison. thats where i am.

  • @meowcat121 no I am on the eastern side of the state. I am in Kirksville which is only a half hr from the iowa border. I love the fox cities area there is a state park just on the outskirts of town called high cliff and there is a tower on the upper lvl that you can look at the entire fox valley area as well as view oshkosh. All my family lives in the fox cities area

  • When I saw them in Atlanta recently Ed Roland said that the Cars and Rem influenced them in their music. He said remember the 80's????

  • I don't know why Collective Soul fans are dissing this song. I've been a fan since "Shine", and I think this song is great! Fits their sound like a glove!

    Is the upload damaged? It seems to speed up at the beginning, then back to regular pace. I forget - is it supposed to be like that? Or is it there to confound file-traders?

  • They are incredibly talented - and God they are all so effin' sexy!!! Sheez! And Joel Kosche is SEX ON A STICK

  • I like this song. I think it has more of a pop rock sound to it compared to other Collective Soul songs. It also resembles some of their influences (The Cars) as Ed Roland was explaining in the concert I went to.

  • how funny, you regular Collective Soulers don't seem to like this, but I'm new to the music, and I love this song.... :-) its fun sounding!

  • Not my favorite Collective Soul song. This is probably there most sappy song that they have ever done. Their new self-titled album ("rabbit") that just came out kicks ass and has much more of a rock feel to it. Very Very good album and probably will be my favorite album of 2009.

  • Sorry to say, but this is a bad song in my opinion. Not what I remember Collective Soul as.

  • sorry to say what !!!!! love the song ...love the lyrics the voice go back and understand LOVE YOU CS !!!!!!! INEEDED MORE C.S.

  • Come along way from the Collective Soul I knew.

    Shine is by far there best song in my opinion.

  • Collective Soul - this my all time favorite band...THis is one of the COOLEST Band Ever made...ill be your fan forever...

  • Collective Soul, all i can say is wow. It seems they disappear then all of a sudden they're back again. Keep it up fellas your one of a kind.

  • Collective Soul is awesome! I love their straight up rock stuff, and I love their poppy-rock stuff. This song, along with the rest, ROCKS!

  • wtf!!!

    my friend said u have to check out collective soul they're my all time favourite band!! but she didnt tell me that the actor luke wilson was the lead singer lol

  • HA! Ed Rolland DOES look like Luke Wilson! HA! HA!

  • i love collective soul!!!!!!!!!! dean roland love u you're so cute! this song is awesome and all the others songs too!********

    love it

  • love collective soul great band great music, but is it supposed to speed up cause on the cd it doesnt, but either way great band....

  • Man, their soulful lyrics went down the tubes, not to mention their creative sound. To bad, happens to the best.

  • i agree sad enough. but their early stuff was some of my favorite music. and still is

  • Pop rocks!

    They are very good.

  • Dean cute

  • It's impossible not to tap your feet to this.

  • Incredible band, but their new stuff is pretty awful

  • Agreed.

    I just look at it as them reinventing themselves. Led Zeppelin did the same and many other artists have too. I personally love their harder stuff but I appreciate their other songs.

    They're getting older and its seems they are getting more laid back. I'm gonna miss their old sound but at least they are still making CDs!

  • I couldn't agree more. Absolutely love the older, harder stuff. Some of the best hard rock ever made. However, the new stuff, although an entirely different creature is still really good music. Id love for their new album to be heavier again but I'll still appreciate it either way.

  • new album is heavy

  • collective soul has to be my favorite band ever but they dont write songs like they use to

  • ok yeah, this sounds too much like Magic for me to enjoy it. listening to this only makes me want to listen to the cars.

  • okay you all suck! if you cant tell that its nothing like either of those songs then you must be on crack! Collective soul is the friggan best!This song is incredible! there is NOTHING like it in the world! I love them!

  • this is my keyboardist fav band mines radiohead see the diifernce in our musical intelligence

  • I love it, but I love all of them. True dedication.

  • i love collective soul and all, but this song is AWFUL!!!

  • Guess It's a rip off of both Sugar Sugar by the Archies and Magic by The Cars. They kinda did a similar thing on the song Better Now I clearly heard a David Bowie Suffragette City lines & rhythms in that one too. The "yeah Yeah" back ground vocals in the verse give it away. Bowie Say "Hey Man" just like that in his song.

    youtube you'll be amazed how close it is.

  • uno de mis grupos favoritos

    grandes!!!!

  • I just realized this song is almost exactly like an 80's song. The song is Magic by the Cars! The first verse ed sings is almost the exact words. First word is even "Summer"

  • nah Magic has a different beat and chords. The only similarity is it begins with summer.

  • ignore that, Magic does have the same beat but this song goes a little faster, both guitar and vocals.

  • This sounds like a rocked up verison of Sugar Sugar By the Archies. Search youtube you can hear it for yourself. Not their most original material for sure. Totally 80's sound too. They can do better.

  • Never mind The Cars, it DOES sound like the Archies! I wonder if any of them are still alive to sue.

  • Too many music videos take place in a all white room like this

  • I think it was 1980's ish--remember early videos with all the stark white rooms?

  • One of the best songs of 2008. That beat is from Magic- The Cars.

  • Comment removed

  • i dont think this is one of their better songs i mean i love listen, why pt. 2 all that but this isnt one of their best sry

  • You're right, this song is a complete "Hollywood" pop sellout. Absolutely pathetic

  • I love this song!!! my friends say it my theme song :) cause my name is Holly :)

  • Just saw Collective Soul here in Cleveland last night.

    AWESOME SHOW!!!!!!

  • really really a good composer is this guy. Awesome songs eversince
