Heavy Lyrics

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 all whom you've deceived
Promises you break you still believe

Heavy

The guitar solo in the song uses 6 different types of Wah effects: 2 standard pedals, 3 Auto Wah pedals, and a digital Wah via Pro-Tools.

"Heavy" rocketed to the #1 spot on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and then set a record for longevity at that position by cruising for 15 weeks. The record stands so far. This, in addition to the other seven charting hit singles from the Dosage album, made it a landmark in Collective Soul's career.

The band performed this at the Woodstock '99 festival, along with a cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train."
And "Crazy Train" pretty much sums up the Woodstock '99 experience. As opposed to earlier attempts to recapture the Woodstock spirit, Woodstock '99 was marked by riots, looting, fires, and reported rapes and assaults. The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis compared viewing the fires from the stage while performing with scenes from the film Apocalypse Now. Riot police broke it up, ending it abruptly. Looking back, one has to wonder what got into people. Y2K jitters?

Anthony J. Resta was the producer for this album. Along with being a marquee producing talent for acts such as Duran Duran and Megadeth, he also snagged his 11th RIAA Gold and Platinum certification for his production work on the soundtracks for the Twilight films. See, that's just what Collective Soul fans wanted was to be reminded of Twilight.

She Said Lyrics

She Said that time is unfair
To a woman her age
Now that wisdom has come
Everything else fades
She said she realizes
She's seen her better days
She said she can't look back
To her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth
She said her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mother's to blame
For the way she is today
Life's river shall rise
She said
And only the strong shall survive
She said
But I'm feeling quite weak
She said
Will you comfort and forgive me
She said
She said she's still searching
For salvation's light
She said she wishes all day
And she prays all night
She said she won't speak of love
Because love she's never known
She said it's moments like these
She hates to be alone
Forgive me
She said
Forgive me
She said

She Said

Lead singer Ed Roland based the lyrics on a conversation he had with his mother. The song deals with his grandfather's alcoholism. (thanks, Steven - Paragould, AR)

This song was used in the movie Scream 2. It appears twice in the movie. The video features the band wearing the infamous Ghostface mask from the movies. (thanks, Aaron - Chicago, IL)

A more mainstream Pop version appears as a hidden song at the end of their album Dosage. After listening to the song "Crown," keep playing the CD. "She Said" will start playing exactly one minute later. (thanks, justin - troy, MO)
