I rate it as low as possible because we've heard it way too much and because yes, it is a horrible song. The lead singer easily has one of the worst voices in recorded music, the lyrics are drivel, and the pace is boring. {#Stop}

Oh fantastic memories...

My grandparents used to have a little cabin by a river.  My best friend and I used to hang out there sometimes in the summer.  One weekend we spent the entire time listening to this album and Dr. Dre's Chronic back to back.  When one album would end, we'd switch the disk and play the other, again and again.  If we got bored, we walked the 1.5 miles down the road to a small store to get some munchies and drinks and walk back.  At night, we built a fire and just talked well into the night about girls, our lives, girls, school, girls, and sometimes even girls.  We had everything all worked out, too bad we forgot it all come Monday.

My grandparents sold that land back before my grandfather died.  Someday I'd like to have something like that to share with my (hypothetical at this point) kids and grandkids.  We had some great times there and I really miss the place and the friendship we had.

Malibu nights, tangerine dreams,
lalalala Lo-la.

Edit for more content: I first heard this song on the Woodstock 94 live album, and liked it way better than the single I heard later. It really benefits from a human drummer.

Well, this certainly brings back memories.

Oh, and I also like the Dolly Parton cover.  Really interesting!

I agree. But I haven't heard this version in a long time, and I think they do a great interpretation. Thumbs up for both Dolly and Collective Soul.

This throws me back to 1994 to my great road trip around the US (20K miles in 3.5 months it was, I think). This song played constantly on the different radio stations along with the song from "the Lion King".

I was always amused by how they repeatedly punch in that sound bite (or "sample") of the singer saying "yeah", at the breaks.  Good tune.

The song is good, but the production is lacking. There's a huge gap in the frequency content somewhere between 5kHz and 12kHz. This simulates the feeling of listening to music while having a severe cold, with clogged nose and ears. {#Fever}

Never thought these guys were much good, but they were one of those bands that never really made me switch stations.

Some songs are good for turning up loud and playing air guitar to and were never meant to be erudite commentaries or musical masterpieces - this is one of them. Just fun to listen to (IMHO)

Sure, it's not a great song (I gave it a 7), but it's a great example of what a good garage band can do. I think that, as they've developed Collective Soul developed a better and better sound, but there was less and less substance behind it. This song reminds me of when it was the other way around for them....
