If you've been there, you know. This song perfectly describes the hurt. I pray and give thanks every day that I survive..

Still a great song and video in 2024!🙏🏼

This video makes me cry but it also gives me hope. The first time I saw it, one of my best friends had just committed suicide. I was so sad watching the things happening in the video to all the people and the guy climbing the building. I thought he was about to jump until something as simple and precious as a bird landing on his hand brought joy and color back into his world. I love songs/videos with powerful messages. I have major depression. Suicide is NOT the solution. Life gets better!

At least we can say we were there. It was the best time, truly.

Has our conscience shown? Has the sweet breeze blown? Has all kindness gone? Hope still lingers on I drink myself of new-found pity Sitting alone in New York City And I don't know why Are we listening? To hymns of offering? Have we eyes to see Love is gathering? All the words that I've been reading Have now started the act of bleeding Into one, into one So I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below And I laugh at myself While the tears roll down 'Cause it's the world I know Oh. It's the world I know I drink myself of new-found pity Sitting alone in New York City And I don't know why Don't know why So I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below And I laugh at myself While the tears roll down 'Cause it's the world I know Oh. It's the world I know Yeah, I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below And I laugh at myself While the tears roll down 'Cause it's the world I know Oh. It's the world I know

This song and video are so deep on so many levels

Suicide, something I've delt with , I'm glad I have Jesus Christ in my life, Cheech

I love this song. I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, as I was very young. But each scene in the video has a powerful meaning: The sad man feeling like he is trapped in a filthy city, full of routine, surrounded by other lost people.....yet he sees a homeless woman ask for help, no one helps her, not even him. As he sits down, he realizes no one helped....& feels bad that he didn't, then looks sadder still when someone tramples the dandelion that struggled to grow in a cracked sidewalk. He reads horrific news stories, it tips his sadness over the edge,....& decides to end it. But as he finally begins to let himself fall.....a bird just lands on his hand. It looks peaceful, utterly calm. He looks awed & startled & happy. I always thought the bird landing on his arm was God or an angel, letting him know its all right to stay....that they are 'seen', they're important. The bird is showing its trust of him also, a rare blessing he sees how all these events connect: The bagel he bought....he can feed his new friend. Ants are helped too. He realizes lastly that humans 'look like ants' from his vantage point, which may be how God looks down on us......that no matter if its ants or birds or humans......we're ALL important in His eyes :) So he laughs joyously at this realization & 'feeds' humans his money....& is comforted.

❤️ Many years of listening to this song and it never gets old. Resonates with my life through and through.

Great video. The moral, nothing in this world matters but Love. And love comes from Almighty God. The world is a mindless rat race, and without Gods love, you will surely die.

This is a great song. I heard it when I was out last night in NYC. Sitting & listening to this was a sureal experience. I was completely captivated. One of the best songs of the 90s.

Yes guys, life always gets better no matter how much it sucks at the moment!! Great song with an awesome message. Hang tight because your life is worth everything!❤

Many times drove half asleep totally drunk out of my skull i was lucky , why I'm alive, I don't know mijo God was looking out for me, he's around pop

Classics are classics for a reason. ❤😊 this never gets old.

They are so underrated. I've seen them live and they are awesome!

Yeah, I miss 90s rock. I used to hear this song all the time on the radio.

Love this song so many memories 💖

I watch this video quite a bit, just to remind myself. Praise Collective Soul for this.

wow. even after all these years i shed some tears. bloody well done.

My first love, my GOd, i have never been so crazy about another human.... we would drive around in a geo metro for hours a day blasting this album. We would sit in his car for hours listening to this album. I couldn't even listen to this album when we split, just right after our high school graduation. Its a flood of emotion still to this day... 25 years later. And this hits way different knowing he died tragically a couple of years ago.

El video me encanta..con una buena enseñanzaa

This song is beautifly sad and inspirational at the same time. Truly excellent band.

Absolutely a classic. And this song has kept me alive. More than once.

A true classic

I love this band❤ Touches my heart❤heart collecting souls

Im sitting at a Sonic watching this for the first time. Very powerful and deep.

At 2:09, when you see that Ross is sitting in the seat on the buss next to Ed; it reminds me of that male bonding moment the two of them must have had, when they knew Ed's wife was having Ross's baby. This song is so amazing.

Dios mio! Esto si es música, talento, Grunge 😅😂❤❤❤

Quem nunca se sentiu assim, porém como no clip tem um sinal NÃO DESISTA JESUS TE AMA ❤

collective soul kicks so much ass. after hearing them for the first time, i realized that i still had a lot to live for.

definitely one of my favorite songs

sat down on a bench in Central Park, listening to the song.

The world I knew is gone, as i step to the edge, who will pull me back. I love this song

I have to admit that this version is SUPERB!!!! AND I hope I am not the only man crying. It is so profound that it gets to the depths of the soul. Thanks for posting this video.

All I needed to hear from this song was it's AMAZING guitar intro and tears were welling in my eyes while driving, NOW THAT IS A GOOD SONG! ❤❤❤❤

it was 1995 when the song played and never known this video clip revealed good intention as dove and ants did.. it's great moment ..thank God

Go David Cook! You got it man!!!!

One of my favorite videos. This song is always great, soothing rock sound.

............. ONE STEP FORWARD - TWO STEPS BACK ............... 💌

@@jerryd1109 thanks 👍 man, everyone is different everyone has, feelings, love and compassion for a human being, we are all humans and their are, good and bad, but no one wants to be with a bad person/ people who doesn't care about anyone, but themselves, they don't have compassion for others, but they will cry for help, if it was their family members, or loved ones, especially they wouldn't want anything bad to happen to their family, the bad, people needs to understand, we all been through trials and tribulation, pain and suffering in, our lives, but don't need to take it, out on someone else, because we didn't have anything to do with your problems, need to get help, and counseling, take care of yourself, and your mental health as well.

Beautiful song 감사합니다 ❤❤

I'm 57 years old, and I just can't get adjusted to this type of life. I have been getting very cranky.at my age you just don't let nobody mess with me.

Still absolutely amazing. 1995 and still as fresh as if it were cut yesterday. Awesome song when you feel like the ratrace is about to run you over.

Same here

Why do young people even consider suicide ???, my father was a very hot blooded person, scareless and didn't mind to die young, but he got to live many years and at the last days when he was very sick with a terminal disease he fought to keep living, he didn't want to go, he told me that he learned to love being alive and thanked the lord for letting him live that long, he was 85 years old, i dig it, as you get older you get to love everything around you, specially people.

I hope you never experience what so many do. It’s not something you plan on or want and it’s not just young people.

Just hang on...Stay strong...The message this song brought so many years ago...blows my mind! It hurts an its beautiful. But at the end....Brilliant! Thank you so much

This video is loaded with meaning, and is spot-on representative of society today. How the hell can you call it stupid? Stupid is the trash you see on MTV these days. Guess it's true that today's youth has no taste.

I remember when this video first came out. I thought it was so powerful, and even after all the years its lost NONE of its emotional power. Gets to me every single time I see it! Awesome video, makes you really 'think'. I also thought the actor in this video did a terrific job, he was so believable!

Are we listening? Have we eyes to see? It's hard when we've been blinded by greed, aggression, and insensitivity. Great song about the danger of not being connected.

For the detail-oriented people out there, notice that at 1:08 the newspaper writing is all backwards and stuff.

what a spiritual song....Ed Roland HAS collected ALL the souls!!!

Moving song. Touches my soul...so many suffering

Very beautiful song and very moving.

Bring the colour of my life back, please

Something to believe in . Another great inspirational song from when listening to music had some meaning.

Teringat waktu SMP tahun 1993 moci dan mengenal smoking sambil dengerin ni lagu

What a great video!!

The world I used to know was not what it is today . Not people not the entire world. So the world knows now is live it to you fullest and best and enjoy it cause one day you won't have it. Just flow ... Is what I say. Flow... With it and take in what you are thought and learn from it and enjoy it .

This song is beautiful. Seriously, David Cook has made me appreciate it even more.

Procurava por anos essa música!!!!❤

Brings tears to my eyes miss my brother.. it is what it is… I could never have known the world he knew.. rip James

2023 great memorys with this song, day one listener

listening to this song makes me want to cry for some reason

i love how he carries a bagel around in his pocket

best video ever

This song makes me contemplate whats going on in the world and specifically in my life. Love it, any music that can send a message and sound good is a work of art.

might as well jump Might as well jump Go ahead and jump Go ahead and jump

These guys are amazing musicians and song writers...

Quien no tuvo esos momentos de mandar todo a la mierda ....El video refleja el cansancio de la vida 😢....lindo tema

Ohh yeah 😊 , this time last year I just got out of jail, been there for 3 months I turned my life around, now I job, Dodge RAM,so don't give up

Thier song is so powerful that it touches your soul, it came from thiers straight to yours and then some!!! I've always loved collective soul music and videos and always will. It cuts deep and you feel it as your tears run down your face, and you just know by that alone. Their one of a kind!!! Hope to see them live one day, it would be an honor. Keep up your great songs C.S. I like R.E.M,s song everybody hurts, but I love yours better, because it's got more to it!! Cheers, and to anyone that's really hurt, be strong , be healed, and joy to your soul for with joy there's bliss, and bliss is from the Divine and divine is forever . When it comes to living, dieing is the easy part, so choose life not death, your divine and you should remember that, 😇😇😇💪👍

this song always makes me cry, it just does something to me.

:D this is wonderful.

There's plenty of great music nowadays, you just have to, you know, look for it. And LOL at people complaining that today's music is manufactured while praising this song, which might be Collective Soul's most manufactured song.

Brings me back the grunge love:)

One of my favorite songs! I love this video!

One of the most epic song of the century. I first heard it over 2 decades ago.. still one of the greatest ❤.

Good things will happen you have to want it
