This is the song my dad asked me to play at his funeral for him when I was around the age of 5 or 6. He passed around a year ago. This song keeps me going through the dark days I can't seem to get by. It helps me shine through my issues.
Give me a word Give me a sign Show me where to look Tell me what will I find Lay me on the ground Fly me in the sky Show me where to look Tell me what will I find Oh, heaven let your light shine down Love is in the water Love is in the air Show me where to look Tell me will love be there Teach me how to speak Teach me how to share Teach me where to go Tell me will love be there Oh, heaven let your light shine down Give me a word Give me a sign Show me where to look Tell me what will I find Lay me on the ground Fly me in the sky Show me where to look Tell me what will I find Oh, heaven let your light shine down I'm gonna let it shine I'm gonna let it shine Heaven send a light, let it shine on me Hey yeah Hey yeah Heaven send a light, let it shine on me It's gonna shine on Shine on me Its gonna shine on Well come on and shine
I was on the school van going to some gym field trip. Mr. Steiner was driving. Grade 10. This song came on the radio. It has stuck with me ever since. Turned 40 in July of 2023 and I still crank this when it comes on the radio!
I’m 12 and my granddad showed me this song. i listen to it every day so i can think of him. he is still a great man and is very fun to listen to his amazing stories but i can’t hear him cause this the song he reminds me of. it’s the best to keep memories alive.
This is a great example of what the 90's music scene was about. Song value over everything else. We all know collective soul could shred a guitar solo for 10 minutes, but they decided to make music that let the songs message speak for itself rather than just laying a face melting guitar or drum solo for 3/4 of the song. I've appreciated this band from day 1 and will do so until my end.
Hell yea!!! this is a great song from 1993, I remember comming home from jr high school in my home town Nogales Sonora and turning the tv on to watch the video on Mtv, this is one of the greatest songs of all times, Rock will never die!!!
I was 34 and loved all the 90’s bands, my favs Blind Melon, Counting Crows, Black Crows, Lemonheads and Collective Soul❣️Love blasting this CD, Shine is a fav, goin to see them for the first time this month at the Mt Winery, woohoo!
This song has always made me feel oddly nostalgic. I can’t ever pinpoint where I first heard it or why it’s so special to me, but it’s a welcome catharsis.
@@FriskyBitch I’m from Switzerland never heard this song before and it just came in my playlist and give this sense of nostalgia for a memory I’ve experienced when I traveled to South Korea with my family
Circa 94/94...I livied in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh to be exact... shuffling around in a tiny little music kiosk inside Safestway grocery store. No CD's, no albums, no 8 track's...only tapes, as in tape recorder type. "Hints allegations & things left unsaid~" Caught my eye, resembled my thoughts, I couldn't have said it better! I bought it!!! Plugged it in and it was music to my ears!!! The Angel's sang as Collective Soul entered my life forever!!!
I love listening to this band, they made good music for the 90's, I put this in my favs list of music which mostly contains 70's and 80's music so you know, Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi, Tom Petty, Europe, and collective soul is what I listen too most of the time :)
I think I've decided that 90's Alternative Rock/Grunge is probably my favorite mainstream musical genre out there. I've listened to countless different genres over the past five to ten years, and I love most forms of music, but there's really something special to me about this particular era of music. I didn't even really get into it until I was twenty-two a few years back, but I've never looked back.
Post-grunge might be cheesy but this band is really underrated. Their early material is gold. There are some hidden gems on the albums too, even on this first one. Ed Roland is a great songwriter.
I'm 66 now but this had my toe tappin' and a little air guitar and drums at one of my dive bar haunts where the lonely people go to enjoy the whiskey and acid buzz. Great memories/
@Morphelia Hi Morphelia.. I was listening to this song last night, another Lonely Fri. night. Earlier that night I had talked to a beautiful young woman named Alexia, asked her if she had a date that night, and she said, "Yes". My journey through a plethora of music, thinking all night about Alexia, brought me to this song. As I listened to this song, I plaintively asked, "Alexia... ?" as if there might still be a future hope for us... And that's the long story Morphelia. Thank you for asking.
Hello, Ed. I wouldn't expect you to remember but Michaeline, you, and I met (I thing Dylan may have been there) at an Atlanta party for Rick Miller last year. You and I deep-dive discussed music and vintage guitars in the den and dicovered our mutual love for National Resophonic guitars (mine's a 1936, 14-fret Duolian). As we talked I felt your genuine heart & soul...and since then I've been listening closely to your music going back to "Shut Up and Dance". This is to thank you for the artistic gifts you've given us and for your genuine devotion to family and friends. The world is a better place with you here, Ed! -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Once I heard this song on the radio, and I fell in love with it. I had to remember a phrase of the song because I didn't knew the name, so I could download it. And so I did. It fastly became my favorite song, and I knew I had to dedicate this song to a special person. Now I have a GF and I'm happy that I waited 1 year to play this song on my guitar for her, by our anniversary, and now I'm sure she's that special person that I didn´t knew I was going to play this song for.
I used to listen to this song and Heavy when I was little. My mom and dad loved Collective Soul. My dad passed away on January 24th. Now I'm trying to find all the songs he used to play when I spent time with him in Vancouver in the 1990's. This is one of them.
I remember my mother having this cd in the early 90s, I was like 3 years old loving this song as it played and looking at the cd cover like "holy fuck". I always thought it was a nutcracker man.
This song is the song that got me started! The song that introduced me to the world of Rock 'n Roll. My favorite song of all time! Every time I here this song I smile with a big grin :). And now it is being played in car commercials, amazing! and for good reason, it is a great song that keeps the legends of the 60's and 70's alive! Oh, and if you like this song, you should check out 'Where the River Flows'

Wow!!! Never knew the words truly represent our talks with God. Wow!! Glory to God. This song lifted me up and reminded me. No matter what is going on, "Let thy light so shine"
Umm, no... Ed Roland has specifically said they are not. But, his father was a minister and him growing up with that heavily influenced a couple songs off THE album.
My mom use to play this song when I was young.. thinking of all the struggles life brought. Strong woman, ill give her that. You gotta appreciate what you have.. rather than what you dont. The whole fkn album is amazing but this one is my favorite, next to "heavens already here".

Deep story bro. Sorry to hear about your father. Can’t t imagine
My dad passed away and his favorite song is dreams from Fleetwood Mac.
Hey, you know they are always around. They come around to visit, you will know when he's with you. Love and peace to you my freind
Omg you are the light too that's why ..Dad wants you to GET I T !!! Do ya????
I'm Sorry. My Mums 5 year was about a year ago. You're a beautiful person and I'm here for youl
According to my Father, this song was playing on the radio as soon as I was born...

this is a really good song to chill out to after a long hard day, i could listen to it all day long
A lot of people meme this song, but there is one thing that is clear:
THAT SOLO SHREDS SO HARD
Now Tik tokers are ruining great songs
It really is tho
Who’s making memes about it ?
😂 just 000
You are all fahgs
One of the best rock songs of all time
I introduced this song to my friend and he absolutely loved it
Smashing pumpkins drown is just a bit better
Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find
Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look

Went to comments for this purpose 👍 thank you x20
I think he says: give me a warning, instead of a word.Listen with headphones to try to catch it.Otherwise, great work with lyrics.
Peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1994. Great song. Love it!
I remember when this song was first played on the radio, ahhh simpler times.
I know right this song is excellent

How about when songs like this were played on top 40 radio? Things have changed
I’m 12 and my granddad showed me this song. i listen to it every day so i can think of him. he is still a great man and is very fun to listen to his amazing stories but i can’t hear him cause this the song he reminds me of. it’s the best to keep memories alive.

Collective Soul: my memory of listening to their music in my parents 88 Chevy Cheyenne on road trips.
best memories
whaaatttt... that long ago... question mark
I think was great!!!
That comment hit me right in the nostalgia!
Love these lyrics..

Grunge goes gospel. In the 90's anything went and we are the better as a species for it.

Sorry to hear of his passing. It's an awesome thing you're doing in his memory....

Its Sweeney Todd
I always thought it was like a Pig Man
This is my second favorite song of the 90's. Second only to the song "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins.
Alejandro Hernandez tal vez tenés razón
This is mine and my husband's song. 25 years!
In my opinion...this is the best song ever written
90's childhood nostalgia is punching me right in the face..
me too me too
Collective soul is one of the best
Only discovered this band in the last month ...don't how how I missed them !! Lots of catching up to do ..
i miss this sound, its so calming yet awakening
August 26th 2022 just saw them play live! Still got it, never gonna lose it!

I wish I could go back to those simpler times ✌.
Same here
Here in 2024 and I remember this song from those old paper Jamz from when I was a kid. Such an amazing song
Cada que escucho esta canción en la radio, no me queda de otra más que subirle todo el volumen... ¡y volverme loco por completo!
Damn that solo!! Great song!
this song is one of my favorites brings me back to when i was a teenager listening to it with my best friend
i could listen to this song all day long
This song is there for me anytime I need it. Not sure where I would be without it.
Wow!!! Never knew the words truly represent our talks with God. Wow!! Glory to God. This song lifted me up and reminded me. No matter what is going on, "Let thy light so shine"
That wasn’t the original intention, but that’s a beautiful insight anyway
Sang this loud and proud when they performed last night in Trinidad. Celebrating 25 years in music and still going strong.
I'm so glad I found this song again...GO 90's!!!
Name a better snowboarding/ driving song… I’ll wait.. pure happiness
My parents used to listen to this when I was wicked little.
An unbelievable chorus!!! Thanks guys....
This is my favorite rock song
The entire era of Collective Soul had many great artists
Trysting fact I don’t know if anybody knows this but these guys are a Christian band
Way to ruin the song for me
Umm, no... Ed Roland has specifically said they are not. But, his father was a minister and him growing up with that heavily influenced a couple songs off THE album.

My mom use to play this song when I was young.. thinking of all the struggles life brought. Strong woman, ill give her that. You gotta appreciate what you have.. rather than what you dont. The whole fkn album is amazing but this one is my favorite, next to "heavens already here".
The perfect song to listen to after a long day at work.
Everybody I knew in 1993 bought this album for this song only. I honestly couldn't name another song off of it.
+WookieNutSack Its Actually A Pretty Good Album....I Still Have This On Cassette
wookienutsack i would give you a million dollars and a brownie if you named one other song on that album.
Now this takes me back.
