@kyleandtaylor97:Ya they still make decent music I'll give you that but they were a lot more popular & made better music in the 90's.Does that make them a 90's band then? No I don't think so,I just think they were more popular & made more rocking radio hit songs in the 90's as well.
listening to the lyrics to this song, kinda sounds like me............ God! i need a hug. :(
great song though, love Collective Soul. and before someone replys a nasty comment, everyone has a song that describes them, or describes the mood their in at that moment.
What an incredible band! SO amazing what these guys can do with just 2 guitars and their voices! This is possibly my favorite song/arrangment of Collective Soul!!
My deffinition of a great musician is someone who can sit down with an acoustic guitar and entertain with no fancy effects. No lights. No pyro. No screaming crowd. Just great music. Ed ROland can do that. An exceptional muscician and band!
i dunno what's it about Ed's style of singing...whenever i hear him sing...i kinda get this picture in my mind....a medieval poet sitting under a tree, scribbling on a scroll on a sunny day.....SURREAL!!! =))
I had the pleasure of seeing them live in Fort Hood, Texas playing for a bunch of soldiers and their families. They sound great live. Thus the reason 25000 people in a crowded stadium were screaming for an encore.
I love collective soul! I have every album and the acoustic one from the ground up is my absolute favorite! I want to learn how to play this song on guitar. anyone knows who ed does the intro? I know its somewhat of a G.
favorite band of all time back in 90's and also good stuff like 90's alternative music... i miss 90's back in era.... i can't believe music today. is fuckin emo gay music..
I swear Ed Roland must be one of the greatest singe/songwriters in music recording history. Tuneful, touching and brilliant. It's good to see Joel by his side.
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!
I love this!!! I wish I knew where it came from. IMHO, one of the best measures of how good a song is - is how it translates to being stripped down to just the melody, the lyrics and an a acoustic guitar.
COLLECTIVE SOUL ROCKS

90s was the decade in which Alternative Rock was Pop(ular), so its more of a genre classification than anything.
