Oh, yeah...always a fantastic rush to hear this...I was over in the wilds of Ishikawa, Japan when these guys burst onto the music scene, and I first heard of them on a rental car radio while on vacation in Guam, and that was "Shine" from their Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid...Drove straight to a mall shop there and bought it...Every song on that record absolutely blew me away! and then when I got back to Noto, I stocked up on them, and kept up, too...saw them in Boulder in 2001 -- what a show! and I find that even their latest stuff is still really tight and rocking. What a great band; it's sad so many got turned off by Clear Channel locking in their evil, narrow Tune-Loops instead of actually selecting and playing songs, a noble art WHICH MAKES BILL & REBECCA & RP MY ALL-TIME RADIO HEROES!

Uh, probably in Lille. Or another city in France.

These guys just never rose above the level of "decent".   Listenable, Yes.  Great?  Not.

I am a big music snob, and I have to say this is a very good song.  From the first time I heard it back in the 90s, I thought "wow, they really put a lot of work in that song, and it is good".

Always liked this band.  This isn't their best song but it's still a good one.  I also really liked their song Perfect Day which had Elton John signing with them.

Rather, a good song in a time of bad FM radio... C'mon they're not that bad and they can't help it that the CC boys played the ass off it,  I actually bought a couple of their albums based on the promise of songs like this.

They did one of the best live shows I've seen: Toronto, late 90's, last night of a tour and they were demob-happy. Great energy, loose vibe, they came out for the encore wearing Leafs shirts and played "Crazy Train"!

Love this song. Like a lot of Collective Soul, actually. sorry they overplayed it, but still deserves to be heard.

These guys are very talented songwriters, I just don't like any of their songs.

Reminds me of my two-year-old son blasting this song from his little Fisher-Price tape player, grooving around the house {#Jump}

Collective Soul was one of the most outplayed band of the 90s. At the time it felt like being force fed crap.

I remember C.S. performing this song on the Today show. Completely out of place and both Bryant Gumble (host at the time) and the rest of the crowd of 60 somethings just standing around Not getting it. Ive never heard this song the same way since. eh.....

Brings back memories...some sad, others happy...like life.  But it sure is GOOD to hear it here on RP today...

Dang, been a long time since this one made the rotation. I liked this back in the day, and it's been many a year since I heard it.  Thumbs up.
