The lead singer Ed is playing a Eddie Van Halen guitar that he gave to him. Collective Soul was on tour with Van Halen at this time. Too cool!
Collective Soul is one of the greatest bands in history, so original and fresh every album, so many memories from almost every song they came out with...
Fresh?
I had forgotten about this gem of a song. Love it.
I'm glad they are kind of under the radar. It helps me appreciate them even more.
Dude, collective soul was THE shit in the 90's! I feel like their music has aged like fine wine. :)
yep
Eres xd!! Amigo
Man, backstreet boys is the music I couldn't digest. I think Collective soul was way better...
Agreed!
A really top rate Collective Soul song. Underrated!
I've heard soooo many songs I'd forgotten were theirs! 😅
I saw them with Gin Blossoms in 2019, & like almost every song, I was shocked that it was one of theirs!! I got heavily into alternative rock in the mid nineties, but did not always pay attention to who the artist for any particular song was, (or, the recollection has been lost to the sands of time. The 90s were a long time ago, a fact which makes me sad.) If I were granted use of a time machine, the nineties would be one of my first stops. ♥️🎸📺📼🖨️📟🖱️🎵🎵
I used to listen to this album every day. Brought back so many memories.
So did I. I miss bands like this. Music meant so much more back then
So did me and my best friend. Any beach trip or something, we’d have Collective Soul blaring. I went and saw them in the mid 90”s at a bar down in South Carolina and I caught the lead singers guitar pic.
@@tanyathompson2396 Thats awesome! I have tickets for October. My hopes arent too high on seeing them now cause everythings getting canceled
Oh yeah and the Album that this song is on is the best Collective Soul Album.
@@patt646 Yes, Collective Soul has had so many great songs going back all the way to 1993 !! One of the greatest bands of all time and I have had the chance to see a lot of their videos on You Tube. And Ed Roland is one of the greatest frontmen/lead singers of all time. They're excellent, and Collective Soul will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame !! 🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🤘🤘🤘
This was one of the many awesome bands of the 90s that I miss.
This song puts a huge smile on my face. Such a fun feel good song. 😎
I absolutely love this song way too much. It rocks so much.
I love you Billy!!! Thank you for being so ridiculous that this song was made, keep in mind I'm %100 a smashing pumpkins fan, I'm a secondary collective soul fan
kaylynn L same here! I love SP, but is very well known that Billy talks a lot of bullshit sometimes.
I love SP and I love CS!
Billy Corgan is a very gifted songwriter and an insufferable crybaby. Both are correct and there’s no contradiction.
Pumpkins fan as well but this song is fantastic. Much better than anything on Gish that's for sure.
Where u b then.
I love this song in the way it changes keys and moods!!! Yeah this smashing young man...

Beggar's description
Of what I've been missing
Exploit your position
Don't think I didn't listen
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little better now
Success is so tragic
Pain is your gadget
Your tongue's just lashing
Just bitching by habit
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little purer now
Hey I hope you're feeling
Securer now
Help me I plea
I don't understand
Your ways and your means
You smashing young man
Help me to see
The good you have planned
You're wearing me thin
You smashing young man
You preach synthetic-like
Peace is an oversight
It's nothing to ignite
Your self-lit spotlight
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little special now
Hey I want to tell you
I think you're special now
Help me I plea
I don't understand
Your ways and your means
You smashing young man
Help me to see
The good you have planned
You're wearing me thin
You smashing young man
I don't recall asking for guidance
I don't recall wanting to
I don't recall bowing before you
But I'm so impressed
With the kindness in your attitude
Help me I plea
I don't understand
Your ways and your means
You smashing young man
Help me to see
The good you have planned
You're wearing me thin
You smashing young man... repeat.
they sure do know how to write good catchy riffs with good hooks
My favourite Collective Soul song!
This is one of the most underrated songs of the 90's. I didn't even know it was about Billy Corgan & the Smashing Pumpkins until a few years ago.
It’s not. Ed sarcastically said it is if you want it to be
Yeah the story goes that it’s not but Billy corgan was convinced that it was bc he talked smack about them. He kept making a big deal about it so after he had said no a thousand times before, he finally cracked once and said if he was Ts it to be about him then it’s about him. However, the song was never about Billy corgan.
@@1TightMinute This song was after Billy failed to successfully sue Collective Soul over one of their songs even if it is not about Billy however it still fits Corgan very very closely
Don't exist band like this anymore! awesome band
Bands like this do still exist. Collective soul, for example.
one of my all time favorite songs from them. I had no idea this had a video
what a kick ass video. future special forces kid. great fkn band.
GOD, I miss the old Collective Soul.
@Sarah Crowley I can't believe that a comment from 8 years ago is complaining about missing the old Collective Soul.
You've made me feel old. Yet, at the same time, I feel privileged to have stumbled across your comment.
I too miss the OLD Collective Soul, their 90's albums were amazing. Sadly they took a more 'Pop' direction around the early-mid 2000's, and haven't been the same since. Vocalist Ed Roland is the leader of the group - it's his band, so I blame him, as the newer albums, and their more commercial sound are obviously the sound that he wants.
They did a couple of good songs in the 90’s but they are so much better these days beginning with dosage they just got better so I’m glad they haven’t been the same since :)
@@jmurray2018 A couple of good songs? To each their own, of course, but a lot of us were considerably more fond of their 90s work.
@@thee4thdoctor oh shut up. If you like Collective Soul then you'll be happy they still make music regardless of what it is.
this was my favorite album at one time , thank you I listened to the whole thing
No songs on this disc were skipped. - Summer '95
I can VIVIDLY remember during the summer of '96, I was 16 and just starting to get really serious about playing music. I had been playing guitar since I was 10 but the summer of '96 I started playing in a band that consisted of 19 and 21 year olds and the fact that these older, fantastic, no nonsense musicians deemed me good enough that they were willing to bring a KID into the fold, it really gave me confidence. I'd been playing with rag tag, mediocre 13, 14 and 15 year olds, now I was in a real working band. Anyway, I was brought in as lead guitarist while the lead singer also played guitar. The one thing they asked me to do was learn how to sing harmony. I had never done it, nor thought of doing it and had a difficult time at first. With a guitar, I could harmonize on the fly, no problem but for some reason singing it gave me trouble. I spent that whole summer busting my ass, learning how to sing harmony and the chorus to this very song is what I used to learn because there's alot going on vocally. I even took a cassette and recorded the chorus on a 10 minute loop....just 10 minutes of the chorus and IT WORKED. This song taught me vocal harmony, summer vacation....1996. Great memories!!!
Genuinely enjoyed reading this - Thanks for sharing! :)
Bro wrote a whole essay 😂
I was 20 in 96' and some of my best memories was seeing my generation learning and playing music. Every weekend there was a show. Be it in your friends basement or at a bar that draws a crowd. Live music was everywhere and it was awesome to be apart of the 90's scene. Best memories of my life, period!
This band is completely underrated! Love their music!!!
I saw CS open for Aerosmith in '92 and saw them headline in '08 and all I can say is that Collective Soul are true musicians and dedicated to their craft.
This song demonstrates their natural ability to achieve a catchy chorus that lures the listener into musical paradise.
You sure it was 92?
They didn't hit until 94.
Que rico este tema... Collective Soul fue una banda que no tomé mucho en cuenta en los 90... Tuvieron que pasar varios años para reencantarme con su música... Gran disco el homónimo.
@mrOrange1251 lol it is look! This song is about Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. Billy tried to sue the band after "Shine" was a hit - he claimed they copied his song "Rhinosauris." However, "Shine" was featured on a Ed Roland demo back in 1987 long before Billy wrote his song. The case was thrown out. (thanks, Aaron - Chicago, IL)
It wasn’t rhinoceros it was drown...
@@SPACEB0YZER0 And neither song resemble Shine at all. That being said, yeah Billy Corgan may be an ass… a lot, but Smashing Pumpkins is a much better band overall. He just really needs to learn when to shut up.
Heck yeah! These guys are bad-ass! I've been a fan since "Shine" came out in '93 or '94. I mostly listen to death metal now, but I still love Collective Soul.
Great song, heard it for the first time pretty recently! Funny how Billy Corgan's insults inspired them to write this song
Smashing Young Man such a clever title, too.. hilarious.
I can not stop watching this video clip! The way Ross Childress plays the guitar has me hypnotized! Amazing!
Kate Macdonald And u hypnotized me too..😊😊
Ross is an introvert. It's so weird that he is a guitar legend.
Love this tune and this band always!
I agree 💯
How KOOL of Collective Soul to write and make a video to let Billy know that he is a valuable albeit misunderstood young man.......and complimenting him on his efforts.....and that is "special" and he is appreciated within the industry, but definitely grasping....and best wishes to "FIT IN".....Turning the other cheek and looking for the "GOOD".
Corgan?
@@firstcoastdude yes corgan
CS effectively killed BC with kindness.
@@cheshire_skatkat9093 And then Smashing Pumpkins soon became bigger than Collective Soul ever dreamed of. That being said, Billy Corgan really needs to learn when to shut up.
Huge Pumpkins fan here but I still love this song
If you ever have a song that needs a guitar solo and you just don’t know where to take it…Hire Ross.
The new song just came out on the radio cut the cord I love it and all there other songs brings back memories
Great guitar riffs. There were so many good bands in the 90s that these guys got overlooked a bit.
If you were listening to this when it came out most people probably was listening to smashing pumpkins as well! With both of these bands i loved the first 2 albums they put out. They were the best. Back then id go from listening to Collective Soul to Smashing pumpkins to Nirvana to Metallica to AIC to Danzig etc etc. I loved all that stuff and still do. It was a great time to be alive!
i just looove all the songs from the second album, collective soul! i literally grew up listening to this record. reminiscing... *sigh*
I had a hard time deciding which CS song I favored more. Smashing Young Man or Heavy
Heavy just
You forgot several others, like Where The River Flows, Precious Declaration, Listen and Heavy.
he was a genius before his time I could listen to this song 20+1 times p/day one of my fav you are a smashin man
WOW 💪
Yup, I agree
One of the first albums I ever bought. I wanted the other one, but they were sold out. Thank god.
Man…. I thought I was the real deal guitar player….. with these guys… bro Cain and all that stuff. Man.. we had a band but let me tell you…. I’m married with kids and a a toxic wife which makes me wonder if I’m toxic now. I have no idea what’s going on anymore. This song was killer and a memory….. let me tell you. I was on the roof top in Biddeford Maine… just doing vanhalen stuff….. at least I thought I was
You good?
i'd rather 'don't understand' but by then it's too late. Thanks for a tremendous effort and great mix. Favorite reality band on this age!
Love this song !! ❤
man I really love this album........
I really wish the judge would have said "Ed Roland had the song Shine from 1987 ...so Billy Corgan ,you owe him money!!"
Super catchy song... for real!!
same for me collective soul is my childhoods soundtrack
I DON'T RECALL ASKING FOR GUIDENCE.....I DON'T RECALL WANTING TOO....I DON'T RECALL BOWING BEFORE YOU.....BUT I'M SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR KINDNESS...DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO---AXMAN
I love Collective Soul. i saw them live the best rock show ever. love you guys keep the great music
I don’t know how I missed this band ! But now I know! Southern Brothers not far from Oxford, Alabama….You have a new fan. Peace ..
That kid is having the time of his life.
Heavy... best riff ever..
Bein im a Collective SouL fan from the beginning, and 2 this day see them live every chance I get(seriously the best Live band ever, 23times over 31yrs since my first time with them!) this song tho not played live in 4evah, has held on as one of my faves, I mean the whole “”Self titled Blue” album is incredible, but my all time faves change over time & come back again, but heck, that’s what a band that 2me stands the test of time does, or I shud say, has, in their catalog, so bein im long winded in all I speak of, I just hadta say in short, this traK in timelessly Awesome!♥️Ps-I used lived in SoCaL b4 movin 2 Mpls where I live now, but when they first hit, I was kikn in LA, hangin in Hollywood several nites a week, watchin all my diff buds bands jam on the strip out there, but I cudnt get any of em 2 give CSouL a chance, till finally Woodstock94, I gotta a few peeps 2 travel cross country 2 see ‘em there, & 5 yrs & many concerts later Woodstock’ 99 too, which 2me is Still the pinnacle front man moment 4 Ed🕺🏻but anyway, see im very long winded huh, but anyway, that sold my foolish friends! So gosh these boyZ as a band, thru time & deserved changes in their lineup, have stood that test of time, & still do🤗…Lastly, tho it’s been several yrs back now, when my best friend, my sweet Papa died suddenly in 2019, their song “Staring Down” from the “Rabbit”album in 2009, was so important 2me, & still is 1 of my all time traX too…I just Love everythin Ed, Will, Dean, & crew have given 2me over time, Thank U!:)🙏🎼♥️
Is there something wrong with listening to this song 4 times a day?
Billy Corgan says yes.
Very big problem.
The disc can be played a lot more than 4 times in 24 hours 😉
@@halwakka504 🤣🤣
@@halwakka504 🤣
Exciting song i've ever heard
this video deserves a 10million views. \m/
Agreed! Love it and one of the greatest bands ever right here.
Lets do it
Amen.
Rowell gallagher true !
This reminds me of when I was 19 and in the army. I had my whole life ahead of me.
Now here , I'm looking for the part of my soul,lost in the past. Lost in the road of my home 🏠🏠🏠
Help me to see, you smashing young man !!!!!
Thank you for all you do
GREAT GUITAR BAND👏👏👏
awesome music
This was one of the first albums I ever owned. I've worn it out more times than I can count. Absolutely amazing album.
Oh and the SP song "Drown" is the song he claimed was ripped off by Roland to make Shine. There is a bit of a similarity, but not enough to claim it was a ripoff.
Plus the demo for shine was recorded in 89, before the Smashing Pumpkins even were a band. This was proven in court, so the case was dismissed.
@@yardstickwhack Billy was 'somewhat' arrogant.
The second this ends, my mind expects the opening notes of "December."
OMG SAME
Why drink the water from my hand?...
Can't bend the order of the CD 🤣
@@chiquimiau469 contagious as you think I am
@@Noonenobody_1 just tilt my sun towards your domain
Slide, Dizzy, January Friend, iris, amigone, black balloon, iris, truth is a whisper, big machine, lost, over and over, sweetest lie, indestructible and name are also awesome collective soul songs
when i was younger and happier
We all were, especially in the '90s. Simpler times
I've got 3 young boys, when they are feeling less than they should, I think I will play them this tune:)
ashlar236 Umm I hope you realize that this is a song saying to the people who are selfishly claiming to be so great need to humble themselves a bit. Note the words Help me to see the good you have done. Your wearing me thin. Bless your young boys and play them some motivational stuff. Collective Soul has many of them.
@@jeffhollers yeah, hes taking Billy corgan down for being a bitch (adore both bands tho, sp more so)
Son increíbles!
My favorite alternative rock band CS

Love the way they absolutely slaughter Billy Corgan in this song. One of the best f*ck off songs ever.
Ahh the 90's
Grooovy.
1:09, when they say "done", such a magical note
i wish there's a special edition of Rock Band: 90s alternative music. This'll be in it, along with Suede, Offspring, early Green Days... I would buy that :(
Green Day is not alternative--they are/were Punk.
Hey ! I hope you're feeling a little purer now !
cheers!
@ Lisa Sweeney Thanks. I am, kinda.
I hope you're feeling securer now.
Lisa Sweeney yes I am thank you very much you take care of yourself could that be listening again sincerely Ed The Music Man
