Collective Soul Blog Contest

IMPORTANT – EVERY WORD IN RED IS THE TITLE TO A COLLECTIVE SOUL SONG, BUT THIS IS MY TRUE STORY!

LISTEN, this music saved my life. IN A MOMENT EVERYTHING can change and you know your just WASTING TIME. THE WORLD I KNOW had just caved in. My HAPPINESS and my HOME had been torn apart. My GENERAL ATTITUDE was that I was to BLAME. It was as if things were in SLOW motion and this DANDY LIFE was over. 3 children and 10 YEARS LATER he tells me I’m NOT THE ONE. ALL THAT I KNOW is that my CROWDED HEAD kept GIVING into the PRECIOUS DECLARATION that was the LINK IN BETWEEN us. I was having my very own DISCIPLINED BREAKDOWN. I wanted to SCREAM. I DON’T NEED ANYMORE FRIENDS like that. It was so SIMPLE for HIM. ALL he had to do was meet his own NEEDS. He had to RUN without a HEAVY load; NO MORE, NO LESS. AFTERALL, he was BURNING BRIDGES. As my sibling tried to comfort me, SHE SAID SISTER DON’T CRY. THERE’S A WAY, she BOAST for you to feel BETTER NOW. Just TURN AROUND and look at those 3 children. And UNDER HEAVEN’S SKIES, I finally realized HEAVENS ALREADY HERE. LOVE LIFTED ME with a NEW VIBRATION and it FEELS LIKE I’m PERFECT TO STAY. Now I just want those 3 YOUTH to know they are NEVER HERE ALONE. They can always REACH out to me for a COMPLIMENT. They can GENERATE a PERFECT DAY and they are ADORED. It all comes FULL CIRCLE when they SHINE.

Now WHAT I CAN GIVE YOU is some good advise. Gather up all your ENERGY and
RUN to an upcoming show from their new tour http://www.collectivesoul.com/live/. Who knows…it could save your life too! I’ll be COUNTING THE DAYS!

  1. Sounds like you've been through some challenging times. Isn't it amazing what music can do for the soul? Sharing the story the way you did would likely be inspiring for others. Have you ever considered sharing in other ways? My name, on Twitter, btw, is @jolope if you want to come and say hey. I also wrote something about Collective Soul in my blog, if you want to wander over and take a look. It's from a different perspective - http://bit.ly/paEtb Nice to *meet* you. Elizabeth
