Collective Soul - The World I Know (Video)

[jgaytanu]

That comment was for WRwild cats who seems like a douche.... Jiritizy, sorry for lame ass people such as WR

[jgaytanu]

you don't have to be a dick, @Jiritizy

[1lostsoldier1]

This goes out to the one who almost went off the edge!My buddy did and we all miss him so much.Glad you figured it out.There is more beauty out there we just need to find our purpose.

[ILoveKimPearson]

If im ever about to jump of the ledge please dont play jumper by third eye blind... Play this and I'll come down.

[Thewellman4]

I really like this song. I turn it up every time I hear it..

[7ToneR7]

intense, very good song A+

[TheGreen311]

sick

[KDtheboss7]

This was good music. I can't believe auto-tuned artists like lmfao and nicki minaj have such a great following and make a lot more money for the amount of talent they actually have. Bands like collective soul actually had to learn to play their instruments and sing ( I know, such foreign words these days).

[tiramae]

@KDtheboss7 couldn't have said it better myself!!

[Lucy0702]

This song is perfect. This video is perfect. I am always thrilled when I hear and / or see. And always renewed my will to live.

[MrTooflyforawhiteguy]

i don't understand why such a touching video like this has 1.7 million views yet crappy, meaningless, auto-tuned songs like "super bass" by nicky minaj has 226 million views. sadly this has become the world i know.

[MDJR478]

deep down. i would've fed the bird, the ants and the people

[Jirtizy]

This song helped save my life when I almost stepped off the edge. I see the world now in all of it's glory.

[7ToneR7]

@Jirtizy Then this song is at the right time for You to hear...

[WRwildcats69]

@Jirtizy nah kill yourself



[MegaBearslayer]

Man I have felt like this guy, fuck this shitty world and every miserable cocksucker on the surface of it, but then you realize that your llife is worth more than the rest of the assholes lives and you rise above it and just keep on keepin on!

[nbellaful]

so beautiful...luv this song...

[xadogs]

es un tema para poder reflexionar que pasa con nuestras vidas

[THEillusionOFitALL]

fuck the family I was born in to. Fuck them up their bitch ass. 

[amandaj26]

i have a brand new appreciation for this song....i'm tearing up, thinking of the world my children will grow up to know...

[dave43447]

i might be crazy but think of 9/11 when listening to this song

[lifeInAFallenWorld22]

i love this video!!!

[sanitizerperson1]

i love this song. it helps me in hard times. gives me some hope.

[mospeed200]

Why does this sound so much like the Goo Goo Dolls - Iris?

[MegaWolfsBlood]

@mospeed200 i know!!! i always thought this song was by the goo goo dolls!!!!! :p

[XPS9100Boy]

Don't know why, but every time I hear this song I think it's the kind of thing John Lennon would have done. Great tune.

[sequoia240]

the bagel in the pocket at the end - hahahahahaha

[manumiauu]

rest in my heart. begin leaf to the other your own...

[rage88x]

Really who dislikes this? Love it!

[davidholmes282]

Who listened to this song before American Idol?? *Raises hand*

[gradfark]

@davidholmes282 Ummmmmm....yeah....like in the 90's.....like most people....What is this "American Idol?"

[warandhell87]

@davidholmes282 why did some1 there sing it? I don't watch that show.

[buckwalter4141]

@davidholmes282 Listened to this song a long time ago idiot!!!!!

[brower113]

@davidholmes282  i have listened to this song since 96 it holds a bittersweet memory

[aisforamy]

This song played on the radio as we were driving away from the hospital on the night that my Pop died...

[Donatello1010]

@aisforamy sorry to hear about that. :/ hopefully this song brings back good memories of him.

[aisforamy]

@Donatello1010 This song makes me smile because I know that he left this world a better place because he was in it... Thanks for your comment.

[searchlight71]

This song brings me joy and hope, two things I cannot live without.

[jesus1too]

41 people don´t know any fuckin' world!

[boykalmalang]

i use this as my ringtone it reminds me of my success and failures in life thanks a lot guys!

[Shurilane]

ohh the 90s. how i miss them :(

[Katshuri]

Am the only one who felt like shouting "We're the kids of America!" anywhere in the beginning of the song?

[MrWilliamlbarberjr]

will you die fir your fellow man hell no i served 23 trs i ...but you cant so this world will never change too much self not enough love yes we deserve GOD's Judgment we have precios children going hungry in the greatest nation of all we all need to burn as we fill our fat belly

[MrWilliamlbarberjr]

NO ONE CARES

[tqsuited]

@MrWilliamlbarberjr I care :(

[lebz29]

90's music are so great.. :)

[kelperdude]

great song and vid. 

[Metzae]

This is one of the reasons the idea of a music video was invented.

[SaucyJake]

Jesus is the lead singer?

[KennethIrwin6]

Def one of my top favs! oh how i miss this genre.

[dherrera96]

I FINALLY FOUND IT! I kept thinking that this was Bryan Adams that sang this, until I did a lyric search.

[DonnaSunAgain]

Collective Soul know what it be all about! <3! Beautiful!

[TheDevilsrejects420]

I love this song. When I was in high school I would sit in my room and listen to it. It made me think and feel and it was basically on the soundtrack of my life. Lol

[njfabio1]

The music sounds like 'December'.

[captaint76]

Released in November 1995

[mriguanaman09]

now he's gonna be a spiritual hippy!

[mokiepoet]

I like the video, I understand it, but I'm just saying... the guy needs help! If you don't like what you see around you, then try & change it in a positive way or go somewhere else. 

[livedreamincolor]

@mokiepoet sometimes people don't feel like they can break out of something even though it may be just a perception. every person is living in his or her own universe, right there, sitting next to you. each of them, always.

[gromby]

@livedreamincolor I am glad to see there are people who understand this. I often wonder how many people are aware of it. Thank you.

[mendoboys]

@livedreamincolor f.ing sweat

[odaibaman]

Two signs this is a great 90s video: A man reading an actual newspaper, and a cool, scruffy-looking lead singer who has facial hair. For what it's worth, I think this is one of the greatest music videos EVER made.

[ausome12]

I miss the 90's: my favorite decade.

[causeandeffect81]

The video eclipses the lyrics.



[adamisking666]

love the video love this song i liked when the actor in the video compare human population with ants ...

[theforestero]

There's still humanity it just occurs on twitter and in the streets....

[punishedexistence]

That was the world I knew too. I wish it was still here.

[MrRumpld4skin]

Miss this music. It's from The World I Know

[face2541]

@MrAz1963 he is right even if people don't agree as long as people actually contemplated on their actions the world would be a different place. Unfortunately people don't think like that.

[southernpride288]

good song

[PhantomsCoreX]

Epic song, can anyone explain to me the meaning of the song though?

[TheBalloonis]

Great song!!!

[erzsibet]

my fave song!

[luisito2404]

Una canción bella y espectacular..

[Ginaginashow]

I love this band...their music and their messages in their songs..love it..did I say I love them...I love them!

[jadefawn]

im 15 and have been listening to collective soul since.. forever. Music had meaning in the 90's. I'm so happy i there was an era of music created that can actually allow people to think about things that matter in life. <33

[JackVennegoor]

this is the world that I know.....f*ck!!!

[StephsPoint]

Remember Nicola Tesla-he must have felt much the same.

[xra1nxdr0px1]

newt gingrich IS a politician!

awesome tune!!!

[UnderDog988]

@xra1nxdr0px1 Ron Paul 2012

[xra1nxdr0px1]

@UnderDog988 ron paul IS a politician, too!

[UnderDog988]

@xra1nxdr0px1 no his not his a freedom fighter. He never went along with anything the other politician did so how can you put him with them. He doesnt play the politics game he just tell the truth

Collective soul is so fucking sick

[xra1nxdr0px1]

@UnderDog988 i just did...he is a politician!

[ridingthetubeagain]

almost did a swan dive off market square in 76 and now this is what i live for

[SfinxxdaxRapscallion]

Man, this fucker looks just like Keanu Reeves

[empressjulz]

My life is in the pits. This song describes it ... and picks me up. I will survive and win!!!!

[TrueDevilMikau]

I'm 17 and love Collective Soul, I'm glad I found such a good band. Long live the 90's indeed.

[ridingthetubeagain]

the world i know is one full of pain but we learn to adjust and rise above the depression or whatever u r dealing with love is a powerful thing and will make its way into your life at some point

[clintonhockey30]

So I walk up on high and I step to the edge to see my world below and I laugh at myself while the tears roll down 'cause it's the world I know. What's the world I know?

[WOLFMANoct1963]

one thing I know : the world has a least 40 idiots in it. How can anyone dislike this video ??

[MrMonsta2012]

@WOLFMANoct1963 It's easy. Just press the button on the right of the like button. Try it.

[WOLFMANoct1963]

@MrMonsta2012 that's what i always like to see when i check my e-mail smart ass replies to my comments. I know how to press the dislike button. What i don't know is how not to like this song. I'd almost bet it was just you pressing it 40 times.

[MrMonsta2012]

@WOLFMANoct1963 Yeah... sorry. It was kinda stupid of me. Seriously though, I didn't dislike this.

[JuneAmaryllis]

This song is so underrated. It always makes me teary eyed knowing how beautiful the ending is. Anyone depressed or contemplating suicide should see the ending ...The message is so powerful.

[jnh56]

Why do people feel they have to put music in groups? If you like it does it matter?

[Eviltwinq]

The video added depth to my experience of the lyrics. The bird landing on his arm saved his life and brought the colors back.

[sapphirefiredragon]

love the..."so i walk upon high" verse...so true

[networking87]

wowwwwwwwwww wonder wonder dont know who wrote this vedio, howevr very strange that I would picture this as written.. It blows my mind away.. Maybe a sign something good. perhaps.. just love it.

[bubbujones]

deepest song on Youtube. Right here.

[1badfoxbody90]

i stepped to the edge!!!!



[lostempire1]

my favorite song , im gonna cry too

[MrAz1963]

What a great song this is. If only more people stopped whatever they're doing and contemplated it for a while. It won't fix everything but it may fill us with a bit more humanity, for a while at least. That's something that's sorely lacking these days. How ironic it is

[LizAZ08]

@MrAz1963 Couldn't agree with you more.  Well said! Going to let my bf listen to this tomorrow. It is so meaningful.....

[mendoboys]

@MrAz1963 beautifull love u man

[peugteobike]

This song brings back great memories as a teen

[Cory2978]

39 people dont know the world



[makady]

3:10 magic moment

[Linklandco]

This video makes me cry everytime!

[causeandeffect81]

This song labels me as a human being. Fuck Corporate America.

[TheDeafElf]

Aerosmith= first kiss and first girlfriend

Collective Soul= recovery from breakup and much more

Thanks Guys!!!

[gabotab1]

UNA CANCI{ON QUE TRAE NOSTALGIA

[Superalexmarket]

@m1l3spr0w3r77 No man, this song was released in 1995.

[sonic2277]

38 people live on Mars.

[maso1340]

[dariofez]

@9501dannyboy Fuck yourself dude.

[zeroair4]

I miss the world trade center :(

[1tensidier1]

I remember these guys show up in a video on MTV then poof nothing for years....then poof their back new look and music! Cool/?!!

[DarshanIyengar]

Brilliant! One of my fave songs and this review is coming from someone who, apparently, is bipolar!!



[jacklazzell]

[ranger1986ka]

Fuck you Justin Bieber....that is all.

[jaymzeyjones75]

[cell5121111]

I just shared the link on facebook!!!!

LOVE IT!!!!

[DanielKohbad]

@cell5121111 go and buy the song instead of piracy copying it to facebook!

[steeleerfan46]

Reddit Brought me here

[1tensoldier1]

I have seen these guys twice and it was great

[Ninevite]

Simply one of the best songs ever wrriten in the 90's. This song is amazing. What an inspiring message of hope. This band is seriously underated. This song picks te huam soul up when your down.

[0540715]

36 people don't know our world.

[tuffybuf]

This song makes me so nostalgic. I love it so much.

[90cta395]

Weird how much younger he looks at the end...

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

@90cta395 I think he shaved his face. Young is cool.

[shanomacbry]

Why does it say copyright "2005" when the song was made a decade earlier? It's so great that you can't embed this on a message board simply because WMG wants to buy every single good song from the 90s... God, I hate them so...

[michaelisbell46]

@shanomacbry that's probably when the video was released

[latinkids123]

AWESOME VIDEO AWESOME SONG, every little thing means something, love the concept of the vid

[Queenfan525]

The dog just made me more sad...

[hunk84]

Brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.

[MrClownshoe]

Thats one thing I miss about NY. the yelling crazies Cheers!

[TheNinoUno]

the video is awesome :)

[qokoon]

I miss my 90's alternative music.

[RockerNate81]

@qokoon Oh...please don't compare this to the "alternative" bands :P

[fishstick510]

@qokoon

Hell I just miss the 90's.

[doseofreality100]

@qokoon you realize these guys are still making music right.

[RockerNate81]

@qokoon God! I wish people would stop saying that! What is "alternative" about this?! It's not grunge, and it's not alternative to anything. THIS IS JUST GOOD ROCK MUSIC!!!

[DonnaSunAgain]

Not only did the dude have an epiphany, he listened to it! Very, very, cool video! :)

[DonnaSunAgain]

People who don't like this video are very sad indeed!

[Angelsonoka]
