Collective Soul - Crown

[TheZoezoe1]

what I love the most about this video is the respect to the lyrics and music that is given by both Ed and the orchestra-when he turns and faces the orchestra during the music portion 3:25 where it is just them playing, the look on his face shows right down to his soul - just makes me realize how lucky we are to have this type of perormance

[7T1RT]

My Dad died 2 years ago...I miss him so much. I hope he still lives on somewhere. RIP Father... :(

[eurantia]

very nice

[BooKooDad]

Not any longer?

[helena101179]

Me encanta, cuando un cantante es acompañado por una orquesta simfonica...el sonido de los violines ahhhh llegan hasta el hueso.

[rockboytyler]

I love you and miss you Dad! <3

[VirtualRaconteur]

RIP Mom 10/20/1958-05/05/2011

[JDBeatlefan]

This all-orchestra version is SO much better than the album version, which is also very good. This is probably the most beautiful orchestra-oriented rock song ever! Each Collective Soul song is so heartfelt. In my opinion, they're the greatest rock band in the world outside of the Beatles!

[BurnYourCash]

EPIC TALENT!

[daniccalooser]

wednesday march on 23 2011 chosen one is here NOW in a Person-Man impersonating man with a reason kansas

[WarPigz0]

@daniccalooser WTF is that??? It's not English, I know that much.

[nr132386]

Wow. Just........wow. I even started to get emotional towards the end there.

[britewhiteknite]

" GOD " 

[Maryrro1]

Esta cancion esta dedicada al padre de ed roland???? This song is father´s Ed??

[RokDAWG1]

Wow

[KyrieEleison46]

Excellent performance.

[Funkdeath68]

GB...ER!



[lgoff2002]

Hahahha! I just thought to myself: "I don't think I know Crown?" Which would be odd, because I know all CS... 4 seconds into the video..Oh YEAH!!!♥♥♥♥

[corgan0759]

One of the most beautiful songs ever

[PoorGirl777]

This song means SO much to me and my children! My husband died 2 weeks ago tomorrow. This was his favorite song, played at EVERY week so loud our windows shook - amazing - a song about a son losing his dad (we have a 10 yr old son). My husband and I had a trip scheduled to see Collective Soul this Sept 11th at Hard Rock in Vegas. Well, my son is going with me now!!!

[Icecommando]

@PoorGirl777 My heartfelt sympathy for your loss. If there is any band out there that can bring peace to a sad situation it's Collective Soul.

I hope you have fun with your son at Hard Rock, and my prayers are with you and your family.

Ice

[shep79]

@PoorGirl777 I hope you're doing ok. I heard this song this morning on myiPod on shuffle...and it's an amazing version. Best to you and your boy.

[TheRashta]

the roland brothers are musical geniuses

[TheRashta]

my greatest musical influence..i learn playing guitar from ross..too bad he's not in the band anymore

[joelh27]

Beautiful....very humbling. Death is such a hard thing to deal with, I hope he knows God and can take comfort in God the Father.

[bmaynard]

Such an emotional song anyway and when it dedicates it to his dad who had just passed away it is sadder than anything I can imagine, I love collective soul

[ciosborn]

I feel the loss he feels for his dad at the end. The song (I will think) was his dad's question. Ed is a wonderful songwriter.

[AquaCherokee27]

I feel so old. I remember wanting to try out for the AJ when I was in the 8th grade. If you were in the a school band and really enjoyed learning music trying out for the AJ was the ultimate goal. Atlanta's school music program along with the ASO is a wonderful opportunity to expand your knowledge in the arts and entertainment industry hands down.

[BanditausBremen]

OMG! so wonderful ..... thx!!!

[jetskiism]

Thank you Collective Soul, true rock n roll continues with C S  prospective.

[MrHowtodude]

Great song!

[jyoungblood3960]

guess who ? oxo.......................

[moncrief1961]

I remember watching this concert on TV, it was a feature on the concert channel for a while. I was blown away...these guys are so underated.....

[Aliof]

Indeed they are underrated and I agree with your sentiments. By the way thanks for the gift princess.

[terryberry48]

tomorrow is Dean's 37th birthday, Happy Birthday Dean, have a good one, love you guys

[THORNLEYRAWKS]

got to sing Happy Birthday to Dean last night in Toronto ... LUV this song !!

[terryberry48]

oh you're so lucky to see them, wish I was there:)

[chas717]

This video breaks my heart. Ed must really miss his father.

[terryberry48]

very emotional indeed

[DefMode66]

Collective Soul is the most underrated band! Take a listen to their music library and they simply do not make a bad song. Ed Roland is a great songwriter and composer of his music. Outstanding!

[droagan]

this song is amazing.. one of my faves by them

[bluebootzz]

Thank You.

[lalapalooza44]

Just heard this for the 1st time today..and HAD to see if it was on here..it's SO touching..so beautiful..and listening to the lyrics..well pretty emotionally filled knowing that he dedicated it to his Dad who past away.

[reyonar]

Amazing, yet sad and touching. God Bless.

[Ty616AT]

woo this song gives me chills. idk why but I really like this song! Chorus is amazing!

[kennysdead542]

god these guys are awsome i have this concert on dvd...... we were the ones who got them to play at the saint patricks day thing here in columbia

[yellowpaint12345]

Amazing Song!

[ayocotita]

me gusta esta cancion!!!! esta genial!!

[72chuck]

realy amazing job on this always a fan /chuck

[JkR200One]

amazing song!! rest peacefully Rev.

[MikeyWikey20]

I was actually at this concert, and during this song, and especially the end, Ed was really emotional. This show was excellent, although CS always puts on a wonderful show. I think the radio stations are stupid for not playing them enough. What's their problems? That's ok. I have ALL of CS's cd's, so no sweat.

[terryberry48]

@MikeyWikey20 I agree, but I heard two songs by CS today on the Radio here in Sask, awesome made my day:)

[spyrodragon09]

I only just discoverd this band through my Unlce and they are amazing! I'm from the UK and they are far more impressive than alot of British bands out there.

[MikeyWikey20]

I love this song. This show was incredible. I was there. The thing is when we first got there, the tickets we had were to sit up at the top. Little to our surprise, we got to move down like super close. It was awesome. CS is my FAVORITE GROUP of the ALL!!!

[hahahahayourfunny]

this is a truely amazing song, and the emotion he puts into singing it. and the orchestra as a perfect fit into it.

[sharondoyle37]

about ten seconds before he sang Ed dedicated it to his father who died a year earlier.

[musicfreak1919]

i <3 this song i don't know what i would do if i lost my daddy he is my guiding force. thank u collective soul for this beautiful song. :)

[bradbooth64]

I had the good fortune of meeting his father many years ago at a private concert in Atlanta. He was pretty proud of his son. This certainly is a fitting tribute to his father.

Looking forward to hearing him sing it in a couple weeks in Vancouver.

[lucyfherd]

And the Oscar for the "Best Drama Actor" goes to...

Beautiful song, Ed!

[ACERAMGAD]

Death.. the certain thing that will happen to us all! Amazing to ponder.

[sleepycatmonkey]

amazin!!

[jdn3461]

i really like this version of this song. its cool that a youth orchestra got to play with him.

[goingwithzed]

I bet I can speak for Ed and say that, indeed, he was the one lucky to play with them.

[Boganator4]

This song is for all the Fathers..(who left the world).. " whos gonna be the shepherd.. to lead this poor boy back home...?? Who's gonna wear my Crown?? I dont know.. I just might alone... Just got to go my way... Truth is, Ed Roland wrote this song when his father died..

[emailroy2002]

peace... r.i.p to his father

cheers mate.

[johnnyred82]

Beautiful tribute to his father.

[sharondoyle37]

He dedicated this to his father.

Amazing song.

[kevinomreb]

The best part of this song off the disc doesn't even start until a long dead space and an entirely different song starts which is the best they've ever done.

[Anozira101]

I received this DVD at Christmas a couple of years ago. I don't remember anything else I got that year. This was truly the best present I ever received. Thanks mom :)

[dgross34]

absolutely awesome-they are the best

[joefacenutter]

Amazing voice :) one of my favorite all time songs

[fuelman1975]

I met Rev Roland back in 1996. Very nice man. I think it is so awesome Ed dedicated it to him. That whole DVD is really great.

[Ledzeppman243]

what a great song.

bands like this confirm that music is the oxygen for the soul.

without this the spirit is silent.

great job collective soul. and may rev.Ed Roland r.i.p.

[sharondoyle37]

That's a beautiful analygy

[JoeWeeksey]

WOW a song that asks the question we all ask when we start to find our own way.When we realize that every religion is a path up the same mountain.

[santoFz]

lo maximo!!

it's great!

CS

[fanoto]

Brings me to tears each time.

[cheryl0759]

this is one of the most beautifully written and arranged songs in many years

[WhiteDragonEyesBlue]

is he christian

[Smacked980]

They started out as a Christian band near where I lived in Stone Mountain Ga.

[harkonnen45356]

Check out the vidoe to "why pt. 2" for your answer.

Each time I hear this beautiful piece, it is "amazing"

[hangfirers]

[Angelikiiita]

Precioso tema...

[contabilidad03]

I saw in lima, peru in February 28. One month!!!!. Incredible song!!!

[oharras]

Absolutely beautiful!

[arther2sheds]

One of the best performances i have ever seen i have seen some of the greats and this ranks very high also nice to see someone of faith make it.His voice is liken to Layne staley's in that you can feel so much from him through his voice.

[DefMode66]

Layne Staley RIP!

[imperative1]

They're playing in Winnipeg this Saturday for the first time in 3 years (When they were awesome). I would love to see orchestral backing this time round..especially for The World I know. Bring strings!

[xrxman01]

You could tell that Ed was stoked having the wonderful back-up

[porsalainheart]

We saw them in Chattanooga and in Phoenix,they are a great band,love this version of this song!

[Vilendl]

It is rare nowadays to find a performance that is more genuine and sincere as this. This is what music is all about. Ed wore his heart on his sleve for this. It wasnt manufactured. Anyone with half a brain, and half a heart should be able to connect with this. Just an unbelievable performance charged with emotion that we can all relate to in some form or another.

[mandaa4]

thats LIVE? INCREDIBLE. his voice sounds just like the CD.

[Jazzguitman]

This is great !

[beukhardanorkalno]

this song made me silent it is so good one of teh best songs ik ever heard

[loving8ball]

simply beautiful

[Gohan346]

Incredible song. He wrote this song for his dad. Really touching.

[Boomerang1970]

AWASOM Loved it alot..

[jstanle]

I love this band, I will be seeing them this Sunday in Denver, have waited years for them to come to this area. This is a great version of this song, the symphony is a perfect addition!

[EuterpeMuse1]

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.

[EuterpeMuse1]

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"

[EuterpeMuse1]

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!

[501vancouver]

AWESOME! Thank you. This is one powerful performance :)
