I am putting this here so every time this gets a like I’ll be reminded of this beautiful song. Don’t wanna ever forget this song again. Truly a masterpiece
I am tearing up reading all of these comments. I honestly thought that I was the only one that remembered this song. It's comforting to me to hear the memories that other people have around this song.
As a black kid my friends never understood why I loved this song as a teenager. I have always had different taste in music, and this is still one of my favorite songs
Dear stranger reading this. I don't know you but I know no matter how bad it feels right now, it will get better. the sun will rise and there will be another day where you don't feel the way you do right now. Making it through the pain you feel now will be worth those good moments ahead of you. Don't you give up on yourself, I believe in you and even though I don't know who you are, I love you.
@@barirayh.5720 I always come back to read the comments. I've posted this same comment on maybe 20 videos and every single time it affects someone I smile. The love you put out in the world is always returned to you.
It's amazing how a single song can resurrect old memories. Life truly is a sequence of hellos and goodbyes. The girl I reminisce about is no longer part of my life; our story has ended. Yet, this song revives her presence, if only fleetingly. Only music has that power.
The Vikings said relationships never die, they simply change form. Your story hasn't ended. The story still exists, written firmly on the pages of your lives.
To all the person reading this, never ever give up. Stand Up. Do not back down. You are great and I just want you to know that I am really proud of you.
I have memories of my late husband with this one. He had retired, I was still working and he drove me to work and this song was on the car radio every day. We both loved it so much and to be honest I had forgotten it until listening just now and I am in tears. I need him now.
Words are cold comfort at best...like trying to find warmth in a sterile room, but my condolences. It is best to find your comfort by basking in the glow of those around you ready to share their love and compassion. Grief helps the healing, but linger with Grief too long, and Chronic Depression will settle in your soul like a dark squatter. A lonely heart takes longer to heal, so don't isolate but expand yourself until the loneliness is pushed out by companionship and activity. Grow your circle of good people, and gradually the memories you harbor of your Beloved will eventually bring more smiles than ache and longing. All the luck and blessings for you...
@@yourladywicked I could not have worded it any better if i tried. Yet here i sit in my room watching the days pass by while everyone i know and love moves forward as i sit in this hole depression has dug for me. laughing just to keep a smile relevant but knowing there's nothing behind it but wasted life. feels like I'm stuck in a loop fighting sleep if only to keep those moments i hold onto so dearly from becoming memories.
@@tsurek Literally exactly what I’m saying but thanks for coming by my comment and leaving your totally repetitive comment that added nothing to the discussion. It got played a decent amount for a while but that doesn’t mean that it got the recognition that it deserved.
A different time, a different era. A more simple way of life. Less worries, less stress. Amazing how some lyrics and sounds can trigger forgotten memories to come back, so vivid, you can almost feel the way you felt years ago.

Songs like this bring me back to the time when my wife and I were first married. She was such a beautiful woman with so much love. We had all these plans and dreams. Plans and dreams seem to spiral out of control. We lose track of time. I have been a widow for 5 years now. It seems like yesterday I hear this and wish there was a reset button in life
You're lucky to have had such a wonderful woman to call your wife. I don't believe life ever goes the way we plan or expect. I thought as I aged the disappointments would lessen, the playing field would even out. But instead, I find myself feeling everything more keenly than before. If only there WAS a reset button. We can only do what we think is best at any given time. All of life is a crap shoot. I hope that you're doing okay and that the sting of her loss eases for you. Be good to yourself!
I, too, cry every single time I hear this. My son could play and sing it with the amount of passion it takes to really sell it. I miss you dearly, my son.
The woman in the music video is my first cousin stellina. Her And howie were together for awhile then had a fall out but i think its awesome that my own flesh and blood is present in this great song and music video
cool! but sad to say that this beautiful song cannot make a relationship stay forever. such a waste.. who knows maybe they will cross their paths again. :)
Pietro Short, that's interesting, love this song but he seems a bit aggressive with women. Was your cousin physically hurt by him if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!

I was inspired to sing it after seeing Howie perform it with Better Than Ezra when he was a fan at their concert. Howie was in Indianapolis after spending the day recording his then new album in Bloomington, IN at Mellencamp's studio. Thanks for wonderful song.
I'm in my 60s and this was one of the last great songs recorded (2004). You missed all of the great music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. They don't make THAT kind of music anymore! The 90s were okay. After around 2005, it all went in the toilet...with few exceptions like Ne Yo, Calvin Harris, and The Weekend.
Every time I hear this song, I remember you... I recall the times when you used to sing this to me whenever you'd call or we'd talk... I wonder how you are? I miss you, balik kanaaaa😢
This song always reminds me of each guy I thought would be my soul mate but wasn’t. It’s like when you get that really good feeling about someone and you don’t know why...ya just feel really good about them
Love the meaning of this song.. Even the best fall down sometimes.. Even the wrong words seem to rhyme.. Out of the doubt that fill your mind.. You finally find You and I collide... You've hurt before.. You had difficulty to trust Love anymore.. But somehow you realize that there's someone for you even he's not perfect but he's perfectly for you..
Lol, I'm a young kid, at the age of only 14, a freshman in high school. Listening to this song, as a 7 year old, I thought the tune was awesome, and the vocals were spot on. I loved the song. I learned it on the guitar. Now, growing up with the song, I've deciphered the legitimate meaning of the lyrics, and I can safely say that I'm blessed to have learned it on the guitar back then, because now, I can seriously sing to this song with such passion and meaning like I should have been all this time. It took me 6 years to do that to a song like this. It could probably take me 2 seconds to decipher the meaning of any pop song nowadays. #WhereHasTheMusicGone
I remember when i was a kid, growing up when alternative rock was mainstream. I never really appreciated it until now, with all the pop crap that gets more attention than songs similar to this. It's so sad.
cancer sucks I had a feeling it was such. I work in an environment where I see too many people with cancer. Nice to talk to a survivor. I hope life is a lot kinder to you now. Respect.
+TheStarsDon'tDance Day received significant negative attention after two high profile arrests. In 2004, Day was arrested and charged over an incident in which he was accused of locking a fan in the toilet of his tour bus and destroying the cellular phone of another, for which he was fined.[11] In December 2005, Day was arrested in Boston after reportedly verbally abusing the flight crew while under the influence of alcohol and sleeping pills. He was sentenced to one year's probation on April 26, 2006.[12]
I'm with ya. I actually met him in person right after I learned to play this song on my guitar. He performed in Alexandria Virginia at a concert venue that I was working at called The Birchmere. He's so down to earth. I was smoking a cigarette and he came outside to the smoking area. ❤
Thank you for one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I'm in the process of losing someone very dear to me, someone extraordinary, and it reminds me of him. Kind of bittersweet.
Bro, i miss it :( Skateboarding in the sun, no phones in sight. All the school kids just talking to each other, no phones to distract us from talking to one another. Awesome music. Simpler times :)
I lost my first born son in a car accident on the way to work in October. I heard this song on a tv show today, and it instantly brought me to tears. First time we heard this song was on our way to the MOA back in 2004 (I believe). It's amazing how a song can instantly take you back to a moment in time.
"I'd like to tell you it gets easier. it doesn't. If there's any... comfort, it's... getting used to the pain, I suppose. Went to a grief seminar in Casper. Did you know that? I don't know why. Just wanted the bad to go away. Wanted answers... to questions that couldn't be answered. The counselor come up to me after the seminar and sat down next to me. And he said something that stuck with me. I don't know if it's what he said, or how he said it. He says, "I got some good news, and I got some bad news. Bad news is you're never gonna be the same. You're never gonna be whole, not ever again. You lost your daughter. Nothing's ever going to replace that. Now the good news is, as soon as you accept that, and you let yourself suffer... you allow yourself to visit her in your mind, and you'll remember all the love she gave you, all the joy she knew." Point is, Martin, you can't steer from the pain. If you do, you'll rob yourself... You'll rob yourself of every memory of her. Every last one. From her first step to her last smile. Kill 'em all. Just take the pain, Martin. You hear me? You take it. It's the only way you'll keep her with you." from a movie called "wind river"
@@wendyallen9089, I have found myself able to sit for an hour or so, and comprehend what I read. I am currently reading a book written by nine mothers who lost their children "Beyond Tears". Much of what you said is exactly what they say...and many of them are out 10 years or more from their loss. There is the YOU that you use to be, and that person is gone. Now, you have to learn to live with the loss for the rest of your life and find the YOU you're comfortable with. I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your daughter. The loss of a child goes beyond any other loss there is. I lost my first husband unexpectedly, and my only sissy to murder....as much as the loss of both of them changed me, this is a loss like no other. Wendy Elise, I find great comfort in your words, and I thank you (from the bottom of my heart) for sharing with me.

I have always been a sucker for the soft rock acoustic ballads from the 70's. Young talented artists like this brought that genre back for a brief period in the late 90's. Now it's gone away again.
Hi, to everyone reading this I want you to know you must not give up on your dreams no matter what, when you stumble get back up and keep moving. Love you all.
To my wife, I love you with all my heart. You and I have been through everything and though there were some times where we probably would have walked away, we didn’t, we made a life together and we have a beautiful daughter. You may never see this, but know that I love you more than you can ever imagine. 16 years and we still have a lifetime to go. Love you!!! C
I was 14 years old when I listen to this song. My 14 years old self just loved the melody of this song because it's comforting. Now, I'm 23 years old figuring out my life, made some bad decisions, and I still listening this song because it always gave me so much comfort especially that I've fully understand the lyrics, the song meaning itself. :)
You know a lot of people say that, but the early 2000s were also tough. In America, anyway. After 9/11, we went to war in the middle east, and it all led up to the recession of '08.

I just had to play this today. I was watching the TV show "Cold Case" earlier this afternoon and they closed the show with this song, sung by Howie Day. I had seen him do it in person at the Fox Theater in St. Louis some years ago, and it's always been one of my favorites. I'm glad it's still being used and hope he gets more measures of success for its "staying power". What a good song! (Talk about "First Impressions, Howie").THANKS!
This song was playing on the radio a lot when my sister went missing, after a boating accident. Songs like this and Clarity by John Mayer kept me from going crazy. We were able to bury what we found, but I feel like I’ll always be stuck in those moments.
So sorry about it .. she must be in a more beautiful place now, take comfort in that...you will find peace one day . You will always have your beautiful memories with her to cherish, look at it that way.. God bless you.
It's amazing to think that he was only 17 years old when he wrote this! I don't know if anyone knows this but he wrote this with a member of Better Than Ezra! Such talent. I love hearing songs like this and hoping I am able to touch as many hearts with music as much as this song touches mine and many of these people's hearts in the comments.

I used to listen to this song many years ago when I had a crush on a Norwegian guy I chatted with. We were from different countries, spoke different languages, but something connected us. This song describes our "relationship". We lost contact and never heard of him again. Life took me to places I've never thought of going and I'm a lot happier now than in the past, have found love, but now and then, I wonder if life is treating him well...
My Norwegian fiance and I listen to this. We're from different countries and speak different languages but he also speaks Norwegian to. Glad you're happy
Almost 15 years ago I lost someone very special for me, and all the time I hear to this song my memories come back to my mind and keep his memory alive.
A modern classic. Everything from the beautiful orchestration to the strong songwriting to Howie's expressive voice hits perfectly. I rediscovered this song last year after randomly thinking about it for the first time in forever and haven't looked back.
Don’t sweat it, it’s how it happens. My music tastes run from 50 years prior to my birth to now across all genre’s. It’s a wonderful thing to see the magic in everything from a simple strum and lyrics to Beethoven. Truly awesome stuff. Cool for you to see it.
Whenever I listen to this song, it brings back my old memories. When this song came out, I lived in Huntington Beach, CA, and during the weekends, I used to drive to Long Beach. I had this song playing in the car and drove along Pacific Coast Highway to Hollywood. I missed the fun I had in Venice Beach, Long Beach, and Huntington Beach. Whenever i listen to this song, I get emotional!
Many dont know this. Collide was actually recorded in 2003. The label re-released it in 2005 and paid money to receive proper radio play time, and the rest is history! I saw Howie touring back in the early 2000s. I always respected his tour grind. Truly dedicated to his craft.
Working as an overnight CNA in assisted living we played the Y2K music channel on the living room tv whilst we cleaned. And suddenly all 4 of us 30 something year olds hit nostalgia like no other. I was 15 when this came out in 2003. Now I’m 34 and not where I wanna be. I immediately when part time two nights a week and signed up for vet assistant school. When this song played I felt my youth of never ending dreams again. Life flew by. I am gonna pursue my dreams now cause the clock is ticking fast and time is moving. No more wasting away at nursing homes for less than $15 an hour.
Update. I quit my CNA job and now I’m going into the Veterinary Nursing program afterwards. I am gonna do my Pre-Vet associates degree too. And hopefully get into an actual Veterinarian program in 5 years. We shall see.
omg I love you so much scrubs is my favorite show in the world but I don't have any friends that know of it! We should be friends lol, where do you live?!
I remember this song back when it was MTV and the radio, if you didn’t on the album, or cassette, you had to wait until they played it again. Never heard this song back then and totally forgot about it until now. Not sure what I just heard it on. Very thankful to have heard it again!
another song with which to drown my sorrows away. Really fits my mood at times when I'm low... just no one throw me a shovel I can dig my own pit quite well thank you.
growing up in south africa always saw america as heaven and a place of dreams come true was always my dream to go to america and be a singer or actor...have that fantasy life...little did i know it was just adream today 31 years of age still struggling to break through that dream is fading away ...i used to listen to music on the radio station called jakaranda fm...even today all soft rock and kind of pop ,,i still love ...this song gives me hope one day i will go to america
Proposed my wife while this song was playing in the background. Ever since this has been our song, now we have 3 beautiful kids. 😍 THANK YOU HOWIE

Hi, give it a listen x
I am tearing up reading all of these comments. I honestly thought that I was the only one that remembered this song. It's comforting to me to hear the memories that other people have around this song.
I remember this song. Good times before most social media leading to less interaction with one another😮
When it came out, this song made me stop and in my tracks whatever I was doing and listen to every chord and word. It still does.
Morgan Wallen did this song as his entry onto The Voice.
Yes...this song out of nowhere popped into my head! Great tune that brings all of us together
Good lord, go listen to some Ryan Cabrera, bud. You're gonna get through this🤣

The fact that they don't make this kind of music anymore is such a tragedy to our current music industry. Wooooh! This brings back a lot of memory!
100% ACCURATE -
Some people make music like this but it won’t get on the radio. The media wants u to listen to shitty rap music that is negative and mindless
i wonder what happened to this singer now anyway we dont hear from so much anymore now?
i totally agree with you
I'm in my 60s and this was one of the last great songs recorded (2004). You missed all of the great music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. They don't make THAT kind of music anymore! The 90s were okay.

@@cccarter9858 Excellent example!!!
Every time i hear this song makes me feel nostalgia, like missing someone i don’t even know who. ☹️
I feel same here
mitsuha i think 😁
Maybe your inner child?
This song always reminds me of each guy I thought would be my soul mate but wasn’t. It’s like when you get that really good feeling about someone and you don’t know why...ya just feel really good about them
Ever heard of weebs?
Love the meaning of this song.. Even the best fall down sometimes.. Even the wrong words seem to rhyme.. Out of the doubt that fill your mind.. You finally find You and I collide... You've hurt before.. You had difficulty to trust Love anymore.. But somehow you realize that there's someone for you even he's not perfect but he's perfectly for you..
angela cheong real talk🔥
20 years later and this song is still a gem
😢right met this song in nh,Hampton beach😊
This song came out in 2004 next year will be 20 years since it’s been released
@@glowinglife5120 I know. I just liked rounding up lol
@@glowinglife5120lmao, how many times a week do you organize your house?
@@kb8939 wtf are you talking about
Lol, I'm a young kid, at the age of only 14, a freshman in high school. Listening to this song, as a 7 year old, I thought the tune was awesome, and the vocals were spot on. I loved the song. I learned it on the guitar. Now, growing up with the song, I've deciphered the legitimate meaning of the lyrics, and I can safely say that I'm blessed to have learned it on the guitar back then, because now, I can seriously sing to this song with such passion and meaning like I should have been all this time. It took me 6 years to do that to a song like this. It could probably take me 2 seconds to decipher the meaning of any pop song nowadays. #WhereHasTheMusicGone
I remember when i was a kid, growing up when alternative rock was mainstream. I never really appreciated it until now, with all the pop crap that gets more attention than songs similar to this. It's so sad.
cancer sucks why do you call yourself that? I agree, but why?
Maria Daniel 1.) I think cancer sucks. 2.) I'm a survivor
cancer sucks I had a feeling it was such. I work in an environment where I see too many people with cancer. Nice to talk to a survivor. I hope life is a lot kinder to you now. Respect.

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometime
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide
I'm quiet, you're not
You make a first impression
But I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometime
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide
Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide
Finally find
You and I collide
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
You finally find
You and I collide

LOVE this song. What the hell ever happened to him??
+TheStarsDon'tDance I was just hanging out with him tonight at a concert in philadelphia
+TheStarsDon'tDance I think he had that sexual assault incident and went to hell after that
+TheStarsDon'tDance Day received significant negative attention after two high profile arrests. In 2004, Day was arrested and charged over an incident in which he was accused of locking a fan in the toilet of his tour bus and destroying the cellular phone of another, for which he was fined.[11] In December 2005, Day was arrested in Boston after reportedly verbally abusing the flight crew while under the influence of alcohol and sleeping pills. He was sentenced to one year's probation on April 26, 2006.[12]

Yeah we need to
My bags are packed lets go

2024 Is Anyone here
I'm with ya. I actually met him in person right after I learned to play this song on my guitar. He performed in Alexandria Virginia at a concert venue that I was working at called The Birchmere. He's so down to earth. I was smoking a cigarette and he came outside to the smoking area. ❤
You are sooo beautiful by the way😊
Found some more real music! 💯 *Gotta love when stumble upon a song you used to love!

Same here 😁
For real tho :)
this song brings back memories! 😊
What is the meaning of the song?it is between relationship or just infatuation?like song "creep"?
As a 00s kid, this song brings back so much nostalgia. This was my generation's Endless Love.
Bro, i miss it :(
Skateboarding in the sun, no phones in sight. All the school kids just talking to each other, no phones to distract us from talking to one another. Awesome music. Simpler times :)
96 kid here. Yes to all of that
I remember this shit
@nehmanator333 there were phones back then for sure. I was a teenager in the 2000s and i had a motorola razr.
@@who_cares848not everyone had it like u bro.. especially not when THIS song came out. 2000-2006 usually only adults had phones
I lost my first born son in a car accident on the way to work in October. I heard this song on a tv show today, and it instantly brought me to tears. First time we heard this song was on our way to the MOA back in 2004 (I believe). It's amazing how a song can instantly take you back to a moment in time.
i am so incredibly sorry.
"I'd like to tell you it gets easier. it doesn't. If there's any... comfort, it's... getting used to the pain, I suppose. Went to a grief seminar in Casper. Did you know that? I don't know why. Just wanted the bad to go away. Wanted answers... to questions that couldn't be answered. The counselor come up to me after the seminar and sat down next to me. And he said something that stuck with me. I don't know if it's what he said, or how he said it. He says, "I got some good news, and I got some bad news. Bad news is you're never gonna be the same. You're never gonna be whole, not ever again. You lost your daughter. Nothing's ever going to replace that. Now the good news is, as soon as you accept that, and you let yourself suffer... you allow yourself to visit her in your mind, and you'll remember all the love she gave you, all the joy she knew." Point is, Martin, you can't steer from the pain. If you do, you'll rob yourself... You'll rob yourself of every memory of her. Every last one. From her first step to her last smile. Kill 'em all. Just take the pain, Martin. You hear me? You take it. It's the only way you'll keep her with you."
from a movie called "wind river"
@Mike Lee, Thank you.
@@wendyallen9089, thank you.
@@wendyallen9089, I have found myself able to sit for an hour or so, and comprehend what I read. I am currently reading a book written by nine mothers who lost their children "Beyond Tears". Much of what you said is exactly what they say...and many of them are out 10 years or more from their loss. There is the YOU that you use to be, and that person is gone. Now, you have to learn to live with the loss for the rest of your life and find the YOU you're comfortable with. I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your daughter. The loss of a child goes beyond any other loss there is. I lost my first husband unexpectedly, and my only sissy to murder....as much as the loss of both of them changed me, this is a loss like no other. Wendy Elise, I find great comfort in your words, and I thank you (from the bottom of my heart) for sharing with me.

I have always been a sucker for the soft rock acoustic ballads from the 70's. Young talented artists like this brought that genre back for a brief period in the late 90's. Now it's gone away again.

To my wife, I love you with all my heart. You and I have been through everything and though there were some times where we probably would have walked away, we didn’t, we made a life together and we have a beautiful daughter. You may never see this, but know that I love you more than you can ever imagine. 16 years and we still have a lifetime to go.
Love you!!!

I was 14 years old when I listen to this song. My 14 years old self just loved the melody of this song because it's comforting. Now, I'm 23 years old figuring out my life, made some bad decisions, and I still listening this song because it always gave me so much comfort especially that I've fully understand the lyrics, the song meaning itself. :)
This is gonna be played at my wedding one day.
When life was so much more simpler back then. Miss the early 2000s.
Let's go back
You know a lot of people say that, but the early 2000s were also tough. In America, anyway. After 9/11, we went to war in the middle east, and it all led up to the recession of '08.

I just had to play this today. I was watching the TV show "Cold Case" earlier this afternoon and they closed the show with this song, sung by Howie Day. I had seen him do it in person at the Fox Theater in St. Louis some years ago, and it's always been one of my favorites. I'm glad it's still being used and hope he gets more measures of success for its "staying power". What a good song! (Talk about "First Impressions, Howie").THANKS!
This song was playing on the radio a lot when my sister went missing, after a boating accident. Songs like this and Clarity by John Mayer kept me from going crazy. We were able to bury what we found, but I feel like I’ll always be stuck in those moments.
Harding Prime sorry for your loss....
So sorry about it .. she must be in a more beautiful place now, take comfort in that...you will find peace one day . You will always have your beautiful memories with her to cherish, look at it that way.. God bless you.
Sorry bro
Great song to reach so many people. So sorry for the loss of your sister. Prayers and thoughts.
So sorry brother
It's amazing to think that he was only 17 years old when he wrote this!

Me too.
I used to listen to this song many years ago when I had a crush on a Norwegian guy I chatted with. We were from different countries, spoke different languages, but something connected us. This song describes our "relationship". We lost contact and never heard of him again. Life took me to places I've never thought of going and I'm a lot happier now than in the past, have found love, but now and then, I wonder if life is treating him well...
My Norwegian fiance and I listen to this. We're from different countries and speak different languages but he also speaks Norwegian to. Glad you're happy
Aww I'm sure you can find him somewhere online. Keep the faith. I'm sure life's been good to him.

Living without love is not easy. This song makes me sane on lonely times.
Love is always around the next corner. We just have to make the right turn.
Some times it's in the place least expected or maybe you knew all along
If your still alive, someone loves you! I hope the source makes itself known to you and the loneliness comes to an end!

This song is the Mona Lisa of music. Thanks, Howie.
A modern classic. Everything from the beautiful orchestration to the strong songwriting to Howie's expressive voice hits perfectly. I rediscovered this song last year after randomly thinking about it for the first time in forever and haven't looked back.
There's no coincidences in this amazing universe.
This one's bitter sweet.

We are going into 2020, an entirely new decade and listening to this makes me so nostalgic because I was only a child when this released.
Don’t sweat it, it’s how it happens. My music tastes run from 50 years prior to my birth to now across all genre’s. It’s a wonderful thing to see the magic in everything from a simple strum and lyrics to Beethoven. Truly awesome stuff. Cool for you to see it.
when was this song released? 2004?
Jack Williams I agree I discovered alot of old songs I didn't LIKE👍before but I super LIKE👍now.
Whenever I listen to this song, it brings back my old memories. When this song came out, I lived in Huntington Beach, CA, and during the weekends, I used to drive to Long Beach. I had this song playing in the car and drove along Pacific Coast Highway to Hollywood. I missed the fun I had in Venice Beach, Long Beach, and Huntington Beach.
Whenever i listen to this song, I get emotional!
I'm mostly a metal guy, but i have my soft side too. Scars from my teenage years. Beautiful song❤
Simply one of the most beautiful songs of the era.😍
Listening to this every morning before i start my busy day, gives me a positive vibes like im inlove for someone i havent met yet... ❤

Old is gold :)

Whom did you just call old, lady? :)

Many dont know this. Collide was actually recorded in 2003. The label re-released it in 2005 and paid money to receive proper radio play time, and the rest is history! I saw Howie touring back in the early 2000s. I always respected his tour grind. Truly dedicated to his craft.
Working as an overnight CNA in assisted living we played the Y2K music channel on the living room tv whilst we cleaned. And suddenly all 4 of us 30 something year olds hit nostalgia like no other. I was 15 when this came out in 2003. Now I’m 34 and not where I wanna be. I immediately when part time two nights a week and signed up for vet assistant school. When this song played I felt my youth of never ending dreams again. Life flew by. I am gonna pursue my dreams now cause the clock is ticking fast and time is moving. No more wasting away at nursing homes for less than $15 an hour.
Update. I quit my CNA job and now I’m going into the Veterinary Nursing program afterwards. I am gonna do my Pre-Vet associates degree too. And hopefully get into an actual Veterinarian program in 5 years. We shall see.

I remember this song back when it was MTV and the radio, if you didn’t on the album, or cassette, you had to wait until they played it again. Never heard this song back then and totally forgot about it until now. Not sure what I just heard it on. Very thankful to have heard it again!
