It's just a freakin' amazing song. "Needs" was my next pick. Both are amazing lyrically and muscially. The guitar, vocals, beat....all of it speaks of true artists. You guys rock!!!

Yes, this is a timeless song! It represents to me, both the incredible cruelty in the world and the incredible beauty

This song touched me since I just gone through a divorce at the time and was wondering if I would ever find someone. I believe that hope is gone no longer.

My best friend and I loved CS and of course I still do. We had many great moments together when it came to CS, listening to them, seeing them in concert whenever they were in the area. At one point we saw them in concert in our area and then 2 days later we found out they were playing in NC that night so at the last minute we decided to take a little road trip. We made it there just in time and were lucky they still had tickets left ,and of course we didnt make it back in time for me to be at work by 5am the next day, but oh well. I had to call out of work saying i was sick from a payphone at some gas station(i didnt have my cell with me) lol We had many good times with CS. Her life ended about 17 months ago and everytime I hear a CS song I think about all these great times we shared together. And I can thank CS for that.

I really love all Collective Soul songs... But for some reason this one really strikes me. I love the chorus line... and it can be a real release to listen to.

Well I see the Twin Towers in the background of the video and I can relate to 911 as everyone else can. I'm originally from NY and I used to work in the Twin Towers. Friends of the family were lost in that tragedy as well as affected by it. Alot of good people were lost.

I love this song..David Cook sang it for his final performance on American Idol and it moved him so much that He broke down with a tear. It moved me so much watching his love of music break free from being inspired by you guys!!!

I've been a fan ever since the first time I heard "Shine" on the
radio in the summer of 1994. I love each of these songs for different
reasons, but "Shine" edges out "Precious Declaration" in a close call.
Ultimately, "Shine" came first, and introduced me to a great band.
Can't wait to hear the new album!

This is where it all started for me...Bought Hints Allegations & Things Left Unsaid solely for Shine & immediately fell in love with the whole album (except for the Pretty Donna track) Had the pleasure of seeing Colective Soul at La Luna in Portland, OR. Its a small venue & the band was ON FIRE...I'm talking near studio quality sound the whole show. Most amazing live concert I've ever seen & I've seen lots of concerts!
