What can anyone tell me about Collective Soul?

They are my friend's favorite group. She just saw them in Atlantic City last month and loved them. She gave me their new CD, Youth, for the holidays last year, and it's a good listen. Is there anything specific that you want to know?

If they'd be a good fit for Opus 40

They're something of a cross between pop and adult alternative, if that's any help.

Shine. Very good.

Let's mingle. I'll go see 'em up there.

I went through a Collective Soul phase, they have a lot of different sounds going on from album to album. If Opus had a public show with them I'd definitely try to make the trek. I love this song and love to play it loud in the car. It's not much in the lyrics department but it is ... HEAVY Complicate this world you wrapped for me I’m acquainted with your suffering And all your weight, it falls on me It brings me down And all your weight, it falls on me It falls on me Hold me up to those whom you decieved Promises you break, you still believe And all your weight, it falls on me It brings me down And all your weight, it brings me down It brings me down And all your weight, it falls on me It brings me down And all your weight, it falls on me It falls on me And all your weight, it falls on me It brings me down And all your weight, it falls on me It falls on me

Their lyrics make almost no sense, tho this song is supposedly about Billy Corgan: Beggar's description Of what I've been missing Exploit your position Don't think I didn't listen Hey I hope you're feeling A little better now Success is so tragic Pain is your gadget Your tongue's just lashing Just bitching by habit Hey I hope you're feeling A little purer now Hey I hope you're feeling Securer now Help me I plea I don't understand Your ways and means You smashing young man Help me to see The good you have planned You're wearing thin You smashing young man You preach synthetic-like Peace is an oversight It's nothing to ignite Your self-lit spotlight Hey I hope you're feeling A little special now Hey, I want to tell you I think you're special now I don't recall asking for guidance I don't recall wanting to I don't recall bowing before you But I'm so impressed With the kindness in your attitude Help me I plea I don't understand Your ways and means You smashing young man Help me to see The good you have planned You're wearing thin You smashing young man

I think it's not gonna happen. Not enough time to put it together. I listened to a couple of cuts...they sound really good.
