The World I Know (Video) by Collective Soul (c) 1995 Atlantic Recording Corporation for the United States and WEA International Inc. for the world outside of the United States.
This video makes me cry but it also gives me hope. The first time I saw it, one of my best friends had just committed suicide. I was so sad watching the things happening in the video to all the people and the guy climbing the building. I thought he was about to jump until something as simple and precious as a bird landing on his hand brought joy and color back into his world. I love songs/videos with powerful messages. I have major depression. Suicide is NOT the solution. Life gets better!
Has our conscience shown? Has the sweet breeze blown? Has all kindness gone? Hope still lingers on I drink myself of new-found pity Sitting alone in New York City And I don't know why Are we listening? To hymns of offering? Have we eyes to see Love is gathering? All the words that I've been reading Have now started the act of bleeding Into one, into one 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 Oh. It's the world I know I drink myself of new-found pity Sitting alone in New York City And I don't know why Don't know why 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 Oh. It's the world I know Yeah, 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 Oh. It's the world I know
@@michellejaggers6732 I feel you. Please consider therapy, a 12 step group or some outside help. They work. There are people who care even if it don't fell like it. Many of us cannot do it alone. Speaking from the choir.
Great video. The moral, nothing in this world matters but Love. And love comes from Almighty God. The world is a mindless rat race, and without Gods love, you will surely die.
I love this song. I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, as I was very young. But each scene in the video has a powerful meaning: The sad man feeling like he is trapped in a filthy city, full of routine, surrounded by other lost people.....yet he sees a homeless woman ask for help, no one helps her, not even him. As he sits down, he realizes no one helped....& feels bad that he didn't, then looks sadder still when someone tramples the dandelion that struggled to grow in a cracked sidewalk. He reads horrific news stories, it tips his sadness over the edge,....& decides to end it. But as he finally begins to let himself fall.....a bird just lands on his hand. It looks peaceful, utterly calm. He looks awed & startled & happy. I always thought the bird landing on his arm was God or an angel, letting him know its all right to stay....that they are 'seen', they're important. The bird is showing its trust of him also, a rare blessing he sees how all these events connect: The bagel he bought....he can feed his new friend. Ants are helped too. He realizes lastly that humans 'look like ants' from his vantage point, which may be how God looks down on us......that no matter if its ants or birds or humans......we're ALL important in His eyes :) So he laughs joyously at this realization & 'feeds' humans his money....& is comforted.
It's too bad the seventies.The eighties and the nineties are all gone.Such great music back in those days. Music these days are not the same the newcomers is changing it all.
I'm a father to 3 amazing kids, and i cried listening to.this song, they why was i crying? So.i told them: this is the world we live in and, when I'm gone i hope it gets better for you three.JUST HAVE HOPE
This is a great song. I heard it when I was out last night in NYC. Sitting & listening to this was a sureal experience. I was completely captivated. One of the best songs of the 90s.
Love this video because it shows the love of god ,when you're world is black and white and you wanna end it all with god he can change your world to color and ease your pain in miraculous ways
Yes guys, life always gets better no matter how much it sucks at the moment!! Great song with an awesome message. Hang tight because your life is worth everything!❤
I remember the world in 1995. I still have flip phone. It does not connect to car, I am unplugged while driving. Pre cell phones car phones, Pagers, and pay phones. The Good old days. Thank for the World I know, in 1995. Mazzy IL USA
Great Video.First time I saw it,thought this was going to be the saddest video I ever saw,until the end.The way it happened,the symbolism.Takes you really low,then brings you up really high,joyful.Genius.
Why do young people even consider suicide ???, my father was a very hot blooded person, scareless and didn't mind to die young, but he got to live many years and at the last days when he was very sick with a terminal disease he fought to keep living, he didn't want to go, he told me that he learned to love being alive and thanked the lord for letting him live that long, he was 85 years old, i dig it, as you get older you get to love everything around you, specially people.
This song will forever be dedicated to my old friend Christopher Thomas Narcy. One of the few songs to come on in the work trucks, on 95.9 WRAT here on the Jersey Shore, that absolutely turns my day. Love and miss you buddy
I have to admit that this version is SUPERB!!!! AND I hope I am not the only man crying. It is so profound that it gets to the depths of the soul. Thanks for posting this video.
My first love, my GOd, i have never been so crazy about another human.... we would drive around in a geo metro for hours a day blasting this album. We would sit in his car for hours listening to this album. I couldn't even listen to this album when we split, just right after our high school graduation. Its a flood of emotion still to this day... 25 years later. And this hits way different knowing he died tragically a couple of years ago.
At 2:09, when you see that Ross is sitting in the seat on the buss next to Ed; it reminds me of that male bonding moment the two of them must have had, when they knew Ed's wife was having Ross's baby. This song is so amazing.
I remember when this video first came out. I thought it was so powerful, and even after all the years its lost NONE of its emotional power. Gets to me every single time I see it! Awesome video, makes you really 'think'. I also thought the actor in this video did a terrific job, he was so believable!
We adopt where we are ! No matter what suffering you gonna encounter, but in the end God Almighty will answer what you are seeking for . So embrace what changes will occur. Remember that God Almighty is watching us , it will answer you're questions you're seeking for .So trust his will it will give you hope for sure .Got me ! Human?
This song makes me contemplate whats going on in the world and specifically in my life. Love it, any music that can send a message and sound good is a work of art.
Are we listening? Have we eyes to see? It's hard when we've been blinded by greed, aggression, and insensitivity. Great song about the danger of not being connected.
Just hang on...Stay strong...The message this song brought so many years ago...blows my mind! It hurts an its beautiful. But at the end....Brilliant! Thank you so much
The world I used to know was not what it is today . Not people not the entire world. So the world knows now is live it to you fullest and best and enjoy it cause one day you won't have it. Just flow ... Is what I say. Flow... With it and take in what you are thought and learn from it and enjoy it .
I'm 57 years old, and I just can't get adjusted to this type of life. I have been getting very cranky.at my age you just don't let nobody mess with me.
@@jerryd1109 thanks 👍 man, everyone is different everyone has, feelings, love and compassion for a human being, we are all humans and their are, good and bad, but no one wants to be with a bad person/ people who doesn't care about anyone, but themselves, they don't have compassion for others, but they will cry for help, if it was their family members, or loved ones, especially they wouldn't want anything bad to happen to their family, the bad, people needs to understand, we all been through trials and tribulation, pain and suffering in, our lives, but don't need to take it, out on someone else, because we didn't have anything to do with your problems, need to get help, and counseling, take care of yourself, and your mental health as well.

This video is loaded with meaning, and is spot-on representative of society today. How the hell can you call it stupid? Stupid is the trash you see on MTV these days. Guess it's true that today's youth has no taste.

It always will be.
If you've been there, you know. This song perfectly describes the hurt. I pray and give thanks every day that I survive..
Kept me off the edge
If you only know the hurt I am going to everyday. I just remain strong for myself.

No. Suicide is not any kind of solution.
there's always someone who cares for you and to talk to you
It wasn't him it was her. He knew from day 1😢
It's the shit it's bad ass
Suicide, something I've delt with , I'm glad I have Jesus Christ in my life, Cheech
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Are we listening?
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
Love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one, into one
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
Oh. It's the world I know
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Don't know why
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
Oh. It's the world I know
Yeah, 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
Oh. It's the world I know

He looks awed & startled & happy. I always thought the bird landing on his arm was God or an angel, letting him know its all right to stay....that they are 'seen', they're important.

So he laughs joyously at this realization & 'feeds' humans his money....& is comforted.
There is always hope in Christ!
Amen. I agree
Absolutely. I battled addiction for many years. It wasn't until I gave my life to Christ that my addiction left me.
Amen ❤️
City life is Tough!! I know , l grew up in the city!! Still love it, though
Amen 😊 🙏 ❤
It's too bad the seventies.The eighties and the nineties are all gone.Such great music back in those days. Music these days are not the same the newcomers is changing it all.
❤️ Many years of listening to this song and it never gets old. Resonates with my life through and through.
Peace..
Cried. Again. Thanks.

Yeah, I miss 90s rock. I used to hear this song all the time on the radio.
I agree. I like rock too, but more into pop music. Wanna be dubbed as "Son of pop"
I remember the world in 1995.
I still have flip phone.
It does not connect to car,
I am unplugged while driving.
Pre cell phones car phones,
Pagers, and pay phones.
The Good old days.
Thank for the World I know, in 1995.

This song and video are so deep on so many levels
Classics are classics for a reason. ❤😊 this never gets old.
They are so underrated. I've seen them live and they are awesome!
At least we can say we were there. It was the best time, truly.
one of the best songs of the 90s
Great Video.First time I saw it,thought this was going to be the saddest video I ever saw,until the end.The way it happened,the symbolism.Takes you really low,then brings you up really high,joyful.Genius.
Hope for this 2024 🕊️
Many times drove half asleep totally drunk out of my skull i was lucky , why I'm alive, I don't know mijo God was looking out for me, he's around pop
Coulda killed someone you should be ashamed, instead you think you're special and that some ancient space wizard protected you?
I watch this video quite a bit, just to remind myself. Praise Collective Soul for this.
No more no less!

I hope you never experience what so many do. It’s not something you plan on or want and it’s not just young people.
Absolutely a classic. And this song has kept me alive. More than once.

This song is beautifly sad and inspirational at the same time. Truly excellent band.
wow. even after all these years i shed some tears. bloody well done.
A true classic
Love this song so many memories 💖
Quem nunca se sentiu assim, porém como no clip tem um sinal NÃO DESISTA JESUS TE AMA ❤
definitely one of my favorite songs
Still absolutely amazing. 1995 and still as fresh as if it were cut yesterday.
Awesome song when you feel like the ratrace is about to run you over.
This song reminds me of my son when he was trying to find his self.
collective soul kicks so much ass. after hearing them for the first time, i realized that i still had a lot to live for.
The world I knew is gone, as i step to the edge, who will pull me back. I love this song
I have to admit that this version is SUPERB!!!!
AND I hope I am not the only man crying.
It is so profound that it gets to the depths of the soul.
Thanks for posting this video.
I am mainly a 60's, 70's, 80's guy so I never really paid attention to the lyrics to this song until now. I'm glad I did.
One of my favorite videos. This song is always great, soothing rock sound.
its a awesome song, great band
Go David Cook! You got it man!!!!
i love this song !!! is great
Same here

what a spiritual song....Ed Roland HAS collected ALL the souls!!!
The pain still there ! The memories hunt me for good .But through the grace of God Almighty I endure the pain inside me ..
At 2:09, when you see that Ross is sitting in the seat on the buss next to Ed; it reminds me of that male bonding moment the two of them must have had, when they knew Ed's wife was having Ross's baby. This song is so amazing.
All I needed to hear from this song was it's AMAZING guitar intro and tears were welling in my eyes while driving, NOW THAT IS A GOOD SONG! ❤❤❤❤
Ohh yeah 😊 , this time last year I just got out of jail, been there for 3 months I turned my life around, now I job, Dodge RAM,so don't give up

Heeft ons geweten dat getoond?
Has our conscience shown?
Heeft de zoete bries geblazen?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Is alle vriendelijkheid verdwenen?
Has all the kindness gone?
De hoop blijft nog steeds bestaan
Hope still lingers on
Ik drink mezelf van nieuw gevonden medelijden
I drink myself of new found pity
Alleen zitten in New York City
Sitting alone in New York City
En ik weet niet waarom
And I don't know why
Luisteren wij
Are we listening
Op offerliederen?
To hymns of offering?
Hebben we ogen om te zien *Have we eyes to see*
Die liefde verzamelt zich?
That love is gathering?

Alle woorden die ik heb gelezen
All the words that I've been reading
Ben nu begonnen met het bloeden
Have now started the act of bleeding
In één, in één
Into one, into one
Dus ik loop naar boven
So I walk up on high
En ik stap naar de rand
And I step to the edge
Om mijn wereld beneden te zien
To see my world below
En ik lach om mezelf
And I laugh at myself
Terwijl de tranen naar beneden rollen
While the tears roll down
Omdat het de wereld is die ik ken
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh, het is de wereld die ik ken
Oh it's the world I know
Ik drink mezelf van nieuw medelijden
I drink myself of newfound pity
Alleen zitten in New York City
Sitting alone in New York City
En ik weet niet waarom, ik weet niet waarom
And I don't know why, don't know why
Dus ik loop naar boven
So I walk up on high
En ik stap naar de rand
And I step to the edge
Om mijn wereld beneden te zien
To see my world below
En ik lach om mezelf
And I laugh at myself
Terwijl de tranen naar beneden rollen
While the tears roll down
Omdat het de wereld is die ik ken
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh, het is de wereld die ik ken
Oh it's the world I know
Ja, ik loop naar boven
Yeah, I walk up on high
En ik stap naar de rand
And I step to the edge
Om mijn wereld beneden te zien
To see my world below
