Collective Soul - Shine (Official HD Music Video)

[@thomasmoody8708]

My 3 year old son had been diagnosed with an aggressive brain stem tumor, medulloblastoma, in 1993. He and his two-year old sister LOVED this song, jumping on the bed and yelling out the chorus "Wooohhh" as I played it over and over in late 1993 and early 1994. He passed in February, 1994 but I'll never forget this song as it made him imminently happy in his last days!!

They played a concert in Savannah, GA in the early 2000's. It was outdoors down by the river. A storm rolled in shortly after they took the stage and it started raining and lightning pretty bad. And this storm was no joke. Half the crowd left for cover because it was intense. Huge rain drops just pouring down. Lightning not too far away lighting up the sky. They all kind of gathered at the back of the stage for a minute, then came running back out. The singer said something about how they were making them call off the concert due to the weather, but they weren't going to leave until they played the song we all came to hear. Then they rocked this song out while getting soaked. Nobody would have blamed them for leaving when they were told to, but they hung in there for us and I'll always remember that.

@@SunBunz Sounds like he was a truly special man. It actually reminds me of the story of my maternal grandmother, a severe alcoholic who constantly neglected my mother and her two siblings. It's a very long story, and I don't know all the details, but I do know that her Christmas/birthday present (my aunt was actually born on Christmas day, believe it or not!) to them on, what I believe was my mom's 17th year of life, was to go to rehab. She hasn't have a drop of alcohol since that day and is now slowly approaching her last days from congestive heart failure. She probably has no more than a few years left, sadly. Still, she's had a long and fulfilling life of about 75 years, so I can't complain. I'm going to miss her so much.

I was lucky to have enjoyed the best music since the sixtys up to the ninetys. Unfortunetely afterwards music failed miserably with no depth, no good lyrics and no emotion. So sad for us older people. At least we had the opportunity to experience the best music and have the best musicians of all times.

I've always thought that every song has a message . I've listened to this song for many years and I just got the message this morning . My family has dealt with some serious loss in the past two years ( my mother , father in law and our daughter ) . Everything just seemed to pile up on us . I've read through some of the comment and it seems that this tune brings out some real emotion in people who have suffered from a loss . Not being a " spiritual " man necessarily I can't help but hope that wherever my loved ones are now that " Love will be there " !

[@rockjeker5685]

It was 1994, I had just come home from school and after throwing my backpack anywhere I turned on the TV which of course was tuned to MTV and the first thing that appeared was the video of Shine. The riff captured me immediately, I remember at that time I wasn't the best student, I wasn't a great athlete, I didn't have much money, I didn't have a girlfriend, but the instant the riff started I felt blissful. For the first time I experienced hearing a new song that would become a classic. As the song mesmerized me I knew I was discovering a great band. I had not been able to experience that sense of revelation with the songs of Nirvana, Alice in Chains and other great bands. Now I have a job, a wife, children, in short, a full life, and that moment when I met Collective Soul is still with me. I relive it every time I listen to "shine" and I go back to being that teenager who experienced the joy of discovering a timeless song.

[@joannparker1977]

I used to play this on full blast as I drove my daughter to preschool back in 1994. Now when I play it for her, (she’s 30) she goes “Yeah, I kind of remember this song”. It was also a great song to listen to when you’re walking all over the neighborhood. This was the beginning of my listening to grunge/alt rock. Back when I was in my early 30s. I don’t know what happened to them.

I used to wake up to a radio alarm growing up, and I'll never forget the day I woke up to this song. It started in my dreams and turned them lucid before I woke and it finished a couple minutes later. That was the most alert and present I think I've ever been getting out of bed in the morning, in my entire life. Smile on my face as I opened my eyes. And I had a damn good day and a positive attitude. Every time I hear this song I vividly remember that morning, waking up feeling truly ALIVE.

Back in the early 2000s, when I was a teenager, I was going through a pretty rough patch. I was struggling to find my place in the world, and it felt like every day was just a battle to get through. I was dealing with anxiety, loneliness, and the kind of sadness that’s hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t felt it. Music became my escape, my way of feeling understood when everything else seemed confusing. One day, I was hanging out in my room, scanning through the radio, and 'Shine' came on. I had heard it a few times before, but that day, it hit different. The guitars, the beat, and those lyrics-‘Give me a word, give me a sign, show me where to look, tell me what will I find’-it felt like someone was putting into words what I couldn’t. It was like a light breaking through the fog. For a few minutes, I felt a sense of hope, like maybe things would be okay, even if I didn’t know how or when. From that moment, 'Shine' became my anthem. I’d play it on repeat whenever things felt too heavy to bear. It reminded me to keep looking for that light, that glimmer of hope, no matter how small. Now, every time I hear it, I’m reminded of that lost kid I used to be, and how far I’ve come. I still have my struggles, but that song always makes me feel like I'm not alone, like there's still a little bit of light left to find. Thank you, Collective Soul, for giving a troubled teenager something to hold onto. This song saved me in ways I can’t even fully explain.
