When I first heard this song I liked the sound of it. When I first read the lyrics I understood the message a little more. When I first saw the video, and put all 3 together, I cried. My dad died from suicide. It haunts me every day that there's something I could have said, something I could have done. One simple act, a smile or a "hey how are you?" could have been enough to make a difference. Be kind to one another... and never forget to tell those that you love how much they mean to you.
Collective Soul is a criminally underrated band. They have so many great songs to check out like Gel, Shine, December and one of my personal favorites Georgia Girl.
I’ve always felt this too, many people put them in the mediocre alt rock category along with bands like Candlebox and live, both bands I love also, but I’ve always loved them!
Collective souls music is just timeless and boundaryless. I still feel all the same emotions to this song now as I did in the 90s. Their music is very deep
Same, especially this song. I was in jail when this came out and every time this or Wonderwall comes on I get that same feeling of sadness and hopelessness. I still like the songs but they're hard to listen to.
This song is relatable because we as human beings need something to either live for or be apart of something bigger than ourselves. This song will never go out of style because all of us suffer at some point in our lives. Whether it be from depression,loss of life,birth...... the list goes on. But there is also hope,salvation,forgiveness....... Always love your reaction!!!
It’s such a deep, beautiful song. The strings, the killer bass, the drums that do just enough without drawing your attention away from the melody, Ed Roland’s powerful lyrics and vocals, and this incredible video that TH-cam has stupidly put a warning on. This song, and this video, saved lives. When the dove lands on the guy’s arm and all the color comes back into the city, you see hope. When the guy notices the people on the street are scurrying just like the ants on the ledge, you see that we take everything too seriously. This is a work of art by a great band.
Growing in Los Angeles and now in Phoenix, this song still hit close to home. I visited skid row with my aunt in Los Angeles and there are still cardboard condos and tire couches. Driving into work in downtown Phoenix, I pass a small community of homeless people who are lost or trying to get back into society. I’m ashamed to say, I’ve become jaded to all this and looked down on them; forgetting when I was younger, I was very close to being there if it wasn’t for family. So, yes to answer his question at the 3:30 mark, this song relates more than ever. Especially with this pandemic and shutdowns. It still holds the same message.
This is my first time listening to this on June 2nd 2020. Our nation has been speaking out in the form of protest. The world is watching and listening! The world I know maybe changing for the better, I am excited for real change!
The world I know is filled with sorrow and pain but also with wonder and joy. Whichever you focus on the most is the one that will affect you the most. Even in the dark days the sun still shines above the clouds.
So, I have to tell my personal story. I was born in 1999, a few years after this song came out. I had no clue who Collective Soul was my whole life. I discovered this band in 2019 when I was going through a depressive episode being bipolar. In July of 2019, I tried to take my own life and the police rushed to my house at 4am. They threatened to take me to the mental hospital. I had already been to one a year prior and I felt as if I was slipping again. All of a sudden, THIS song came to my mind. I remembered the music video and the voice of Ed Roland. I barely knew this band, but I took it as a sign. A sign to live and start over again. I was able to convice the police that I would be okay. It's March 2021 and I haven't been suicidal since. Collective Soul is now my favorite band and my first tattoo became their logo. Next week, I fly down to Atlanta to see them live 3x in the front row (yes, during the pandemic). My dream is to tell Collective Soul how they changed my life and how healthy and happy I feel again. Most sincerely- I feel better now than I did as a kid. I love living and this band taught me those simple joys. Thank you Collective Soul. Please, whether you are young like me, older, or no matter who you are, you have got to check out Collective Soul. They might not change your life as dramatically as mine, but they will be one of the best voices of hope you'll ever feel in your life.
Ed Roland is a musical genius who's written and arranged dozens of just incredible songs. The entire band is just incredibly talented. You all need to check them out. It's sad that more people don't appreciate his genius.
You're correct my brother. We're all in this together and life is painful. It was true back when we were young and it is true now for you. We are ALL in this together. I wish you peace and health and glad you were able to experience this in the framework of your time and place as we did back then.
I was a young man in the Army when this song came out. I experienced a few things that shaped me - some good, some bad - in that time. In a particularly dark period, I lost several friends, a partner, a grandmother and an uncle in the course of just a few months. When my mind didn't stop shouting, I would lose myself in music, as I had done most of my life. I remember going for a late night drive when I heard this song for the first time. I didn't catch all the meaning at the time, but the tune hooked me and I bought the album. After listening to it and coming to know it, it has since become a reminder of those times. Yes, the loss, but also the survival, and how things are always dependent on perspective, which is one thing we can always change.
We are all in so much pain, it hurts! The best we can do is love each stranger as our brother, and give our life to him, or her as their brother or sister. That is what will heal us as a species.
Everyone has their own battles in their lives no matter the era, when I was introduced to this band in the late 90’s I was battling depression, dealing with pain, no different to today as it turns out. Part of my therapy is knowing everyone battles, it’s just how we get through them that counts. I’ve had tears rolling down my eyes when that bird lands on his arm more than once. Great song, great band. They have a number of great songs if you want to have a look. December, Gel, Shine, etc.
I remember when the video for this came out. It made a huge impression on me- realizing that no matter how ugly the world seems, there's always still beauty in it.
Collective soul was the band I heavenly listened to back in the 90s, from moving from one state to another starting all over in school, making new friends, being an outsider most of my middle and high school days, I felt like no one cares- but collective soul song and how they wrote those lyrics to this song and Shine, better now, December and many more. I still listen to them today and watch them live in concert every chance I get when they come to Florida. Collective soul is an band that will forever be know as great artist and there songs move people in a way that no matter how hard life may seem; there is always going to be better days ahead. Things will be Better Now.
Yeah, so, at 43 it resounds pretty loudly... though the message has been the same through the years, it has gotten me off the edge more times than I can count... Simply by reminding me that I'm not alone, and that we are here for each other, we only have to reach out.
I was about 18 when I first heard this song, and I cried when I saw this video. I’m from NYC, and the building he wants to jump off from is on 83st btw Columbus and Amsterdam. My friend lived in that building as well. There’s a post office across from it, too.
Beautiful, almost tragic, dramatic song. I recall being at work in our office (shared with another salesman), around 1996. I never thought much about it just hearing it on our radio. Just thought of the sad vibe. Now that there is this video with the man contemplating suicide and finding redemption in simple things, it suddenly becomes an awesome song of hope and salvation.
This song is one of the greatest and most powerful songs ever created. The feeling of it from when it first released (which I first heard it that same year) is basically the same. Things have changed but the meaning and the feeling are essentially the same.
Just ran across the video today, and, pandemic or not, I've always heard the song the same way as when I first heard it in 1995 when it came out. And yes, a seriously powerful song.
My own experience with this song...by the time this one came out, I knew it well because I’d had the album for months and was a big fan of the band. I even went to see them live. I’d say I was around 20, maybe a tad older. Anyway, this song always felt like a bummer to me, like one that brought you down, so I didn’t listen to it as much and would skip over it. Fast forward about 30 years to now, where I hear it on the intercom at work at least once a week. It used to give me a nostalgic feeling to my youth. Then the pandemic hit and life changed for everyone, and I was feeling like the guy in this video. Like it was never going to get better. That was when I finally really understood the point of the song, that life is absolutely crazy and horrible things happen, but there are always things of beauty to see and life to appreciate. It’s “the world I know.” That line hits me hard “So I laugh to myself as the tears roll down.” Such a deep message.
What you have to understand is there is always something, often many somethings, going on in the world. It feels the same to me now as the day it was first released. it's the world we all know...
I was 3 when I first heard this. I didn’t understand the lyrics but the music sounded urgent and important so THAT stuck with me. Luckily it was a really popular song you still hear all over the radio even today, so once I understood the lyrics, I understood how important the messaging was and then THAT part stuck with me.
Well put it this way I was front row I cried pretty hard. I have to say I am disappointed in the world. I miss what we thought we had. Maybe we can get it back. I actually met and talked to Ed Roland. What a talented man. We got a set list and autographs and photo with him. Very affable man.
I've seen Collective Soul a half dozen times live and they are the best performers I've had the pleasure to see. They are so passionate about their music.
Back then I was in my late Teens. Songs like gel, got me pumped up, songs like this one made me feel real. Some might consider it depressing today, but back then it was just considered great song. Probably cause the 90's Rocked Low self esteem.
He wrote this song to impress his then girlfriend. But this song is still fresh. If this song came out today, it would still fit in with today's music.
Automatic sub for fact nobody ever reacts to collective soul! Most likely 1st rock band that introduced me to the world of rock music growing up in early 90’s👊🏼🤘🏼
I was 13 when this song came out, I liked the sound of the song and the band, still am but back then I just sang along but didn't really understand the context of the song. Now at 37 and having been through depression a few years back it has a whole new meaning to me now. Such an underrated band at the time
I remember the song from the 90s. I found it sad, though I couldn't make out all the words. Things hit me differently then -- I felt more angst about everything, which is probably developmentally normal for my age then, 20s -- but I understand it more fully now as I have lived through the suicide of a few loved ones since then. I am also a counselor, (I entered the field in my 30s so I wasn't in the field back then) and I know and understand things now that I would not have then.
Some music never ages. I have loved Collective Soul since I first heard 'Shine' and their songs are as relevant and meaningful now as they were then. If not more so.
At the time I was feeling in my gut that my marriage was on the ropes. This was the last song I had heard before I got the call from my wife asking me for a separation. Then I bought the album and listened, actually listened, to this song. It helped clear some bad thoughts and emotions. A lot of different music, and my dog, have saved my life many times. Collective Soul- Gel is my favorite song from them.
I love this band still to this day. So much nostalgia. It always pulled my heart strings listenong to it and I never got sick of this song. To this day, listening to it again hits me even deeper.
I’ve loved this band for so long, they really get no love but their songs are very deep and beautiful, his voice is so pretty and his lyrics are amazing, this particular song has always seemed to me to be a song about how there’s always light in the darkness and if you look hard enough you can still find the beauty in this world. My favorite song by them is called “listen” but you’d probably like their first hit “shine” a lot.
I'm like, wait for it, wait for it... Cue bird. In the 90s, my high school girl made a mix tape for me with this song, gin blossom songs, and the offspring. Try the offspring next. From my mixed tape I had bad habit and self esteem.
It's been a long time since I've heard this song. It hits SO differently for me now. Part of it is societal changes (especially the pre/post 9/11 shift), but part of it is that our view of the world changes with age and experience.
You've already got a lot of people saying "Shine," "Gel," and "Run", so here are some perhaps lesser known tracks you might want to check out. Simple - Just watch your headphones around the 30 second mark. Precious Declaration No More, No Less - The bass groove and drumline are fantastic Burn - Off the Home album, often overlooked Counting the Days New Vibration You
Collective Soul's "The World I Know" is on my list of songs & music-videos that I have to emotionally prepare myself to listen to and or watch, I always break down tho, pacing with the ugly face, unable to sing-a-long anymore from crying due to 4:43 - 6:26....
Absolutely know one has done a reaction to Incubus- aquatic transmission. Love your reactions, great song love Soundgarden, try there song " where the river flows"
![일상 속 기분 좋음 [Proto disco meme]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DwmEIaZ7XGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Still means just as much to me as when it first came out. Never going to stop loving this song. Broke my heart and kept me breathing.
When I first heard this song I liked the sound of it. When I first read the lyrics I understood the message a little more. When I first saw the video, and put all 3 together, I cried. My dad died from suicide. It haunts me every day that there's something I could have said, something I could have done. One simple act, a smile or a "hey how are you?" could have been enough to make a difference. Be kind to one another... and never forget to tell those that you love how much they mean to you.
So sorry for your loss. Try not to blame yourself though. What ifs wont help i assume
Collective Soul is a criminally underrated band. They have so many great songs to check out like Gel, Shine, December and one of my personal favorites Georgia Girl.
I’ve always felt this too, many people put them in the mediocre alt rock category along with bands like Candlebox and live, both bands I love also, but I’ve always loved them!
Also, Run is a good song.
Run is so relatable today as well.
Heavy
They are ALL great! I love 'Bleed too
Collective souls music is just timeless and boundaryless. I still feel all the same emotions to this song now as I did in the 90s. Their music is very deep

"We're in this together" 🙏 amen
This is my first time listening to this on June 2nd 2020. Our nation has been speaking out in the form of protest. The world is watching and listening! The world I know maybe changing for the better, I am excited for real change!
My very first concert was Collective Soul. I have a ton of fond memories of listening to their music.
The world I know is filled with sorrow and pain but also with wonder and joy. Whichever you focus on the most is the one that will affect you the most. Even in the dark days the sun still shines above the clouds.

Im 65 and I still love them, this video relates to me. No matter how bad things get there is always a reason to hang on tomorrow will be better
Divine intervention PREVAILS! All life matters!
Crying now that was beautiful
since you said this song was heavy, the next logical song from Collective Soul would be their song "Heavy"
We are all in so much pain, it hurts! The best we can do is love each stranger as our brother, and give our life to him, or her as their brother or sister. That is what will heal us as a species.
It's such a beautiful song. I cry every time I hear it.

Yes! Collective soul. More of them.
I've always loved this band, way back in the 90s when they started
Same! 95 for me ❤️ albums always bring back good childhood memories when I jam to them.
When I was young, this was a touching song. Now that I'm older and have lost people due to their life complications, it hits so much harder.
Collective soul was the band I heavenly listened to back in the 90s, from moving from one state to another starting all over in school, making new friends, being an outsider most of my middle and high school days, I felt like no one cares- but collective soul song and how they wrote those lyrics to this song and Shine, better now, December and many more.

When this song came out, it was like understanding of feelings.
I have the same emotions now and back then when listening to this song.
Seen CS a year ago live.. 55 and still going like he was in his 30's... Crazy
Yeah, so, at 43 it resounds pretty loudly... though the message has been the same through the years, it has gotten me off the edge more times than I can count... Simply by reminding me that I'm not alone, and that we are here for each other, we only have to reach out.

I thought it was sad when it first came out. As an older adult now, it honestly makes me cry 50% of the time
One of my favorite bands coming out of the 90's. You really can't go wrong with anything they put out. Shine and December are highly recommended.
Beautiful, almost tragic, dramatic song. I recall being at work in our office (shared with another salesman), around 1996. I never thought much about it just hearing it on our radio. Just thought of the sad vibe.

The tiniest things can change someone's outlook
He is saved by breaking bread with the dove.
Breaking Bread = Communion.
The Dove = The Holy Spirit.
He is saved by communion with the holy spirit.
Awesome. Never knew that

This song and “Shine” by Collective Soul have always hit me deep. I was young when the songs came out but I was an angsty old soul child. 😂

I've seen Collective Soul a half dozen times live and they are the best performers I've had the pleasure to see. They are so passionate about their music.
Aren't they fantastic live? I took my son to see them at a small venue and they put on an awesome show! It was my son's first concert.
I relate strongly to this song. Nobody cares. It's important to understand that.
Run, by Collective Soul.
Brought the house down in concert.
I was a highly depressed 15 year old when this song came out. And yes... it helped 😃
Back then I was in my late Teens. Songs like gel, got me pumped up, songs like this one made me feel real. Some might consider it depressing today, but back then it was just considered great song. Probably cause the 90's Rocked Low self esteem.
He wrote this song to impress his then girlfriend. But this song is still fresh. If this song came out today, it would still fit in with today's music.
Automatic sub for fact nobody ever reacts to collective soul! Most likely 1st rock band that introduced me to the world of rock music growing up in early 90’s👊🏼🤘🏼
A little late.loved your review❤❤. You really understood this video.❤
Collective Soul - Shine
one of the first songs i learned on acoustic guitar.. good song
Shine is another great song by them
Shine.
The clock in the music video is the Colgate Clock in Jersey City.
I was 13 when this song came out, I liked the sound of the song and the band, still am but back then I just sang along but didn't really understand the context of the song. Now at 37 and having been through depression a few years back it has a whole new meaning to me now. Such an underrated band at the time

Some music never ages. I have loved Collective Soul since I first heard 'Shine' and their songs are as relevant and meaningful now as they were then. If not more so.
Collective Soul has a TON of great songs. A great discography, especially from the first three albums.
this song has always reminded me of the book The Cross and the Switchblade.
At the time I was feeling in my gut that my marriage was on the ropes. This was the last song I had heard before I got the call from my wife asking me for a separation. Then I bought the album and listened, actually listened, to this song. It helped clear some bad thoughts and emotions. A lot of different music, and my dog, have saved my life many times. Collective Soul- Gel is my favorite song from them.
This was a change of pace for a nice Atlanta rock band. Song about stepping away from suicide.
...STILL HERE....REACH TO SOMEONE SO YOU CAN BE HERE TOO❤❤❤❤ #BILLYYOUSOEMOTIONAL
"How'd it make me feel then vs now?" the same, back then I just didn't really know the extent of the hell we were about to go thru now and beyond.
Thanks again for another great reaction. I thought that you might have the reaction that you did. It really is a great song full of deep meaning.
This song is forever perpetual its meaning, whatever way it strikes you.
My earliest memory of hearing this song is being 12 and even then, i knew this world was doomed. It hurts.
I love this band still to this day. So much nostalgia. It always pulled my heart strings listenong to it and I never got sick of this song. To this day, listening to it again hits me even deeper.
You said it at the end, "Heavy, very very heavy"...and that's the next song by Collective soul you should react to....."Heavy".
Great band, great lyrics. Next reaction you should do is " Foreigner Feels like the first time"
This is my JAM! I loved the lyrics then, even more now.
I enjoyed your video
I’ve loved this band for so long, they really get no love but their songs are very deep and beautiful, his voice is so pretty and his lyrics are amazing, this particular song has always seemed to me to be a song about how there’s always light in the darkness and if you look hard enough you can still find the beauty in this world. My favorite song by them is called “listen” but you’d probably like their first hit “shine” a lot.
I'm like, wait for it, wait for it...
Cue bird.
In the 90s, my high school girl made a mix tape for me with this song, gin blossom songs, and the offspring.
Try the offspring next. From my mixed tape I had bad habit and self esteem.
It's been a long time since I've heard this song. It hits SO differently for me now. Part of it is societal changes (especially the pre/post 9/11 shift), but part of it is that our view of the world changes with age and experience.
"Lightning Crashes" Live
You need to hear hands to heaven by breathe
It means more now
Funny you should say that this song is heavy. Collective Soul has a song titled Heavy. You should listen to that one.
You've already got a lot of people saying "Shine," "Gel," and "Run", so here are some perhaps lesser known tracks you might want to check out.
Simple - Just watch your headphones around the 30 second mark.
Precious Declaration
No More, No Less - The bass groove and drumline are fantastic
Burn - Off the Home album, often overlooked
Counting the Days
New Vibration
You
Love Collective Soul! Thank you Billy! I would like Seven Mary Three "Cumbersome" when you have time.
Collective Soul is the reason why I gave up permanently on current rock.
