Collective Soul，一支传统的美国流行摇滚五人乐队，走的中坚的大众流行路线。94 年便以双白金首张专辑《Hints Allegations And Things Left Unsaid》缔造出 Billboard 年度最佳歌曲《Shine》；95 年的同名专辑，除了在 Billboard 停留 76 周外，还产生了《The World I Know》、《December》、《Gel》等受到排行榜及电台青睐的歌曲。迄今为止，Collective Soul 拥有 8 首冠军摇滚单曲，专辑在全球的销售量已经超过 700 万。
——上面这串数字转的。作为一支叱咤了十几年的流行乐队：广度有了，深度一般。至于亮点嘛，上面提到的几首歌我都貌似都没什么印象；想说的是这首同样来自 SKY.FM 的 How Do You Love。
How Do You Love，出自 2004 年专辑《Youth》。虽然乐队风格不甚独立，但主唱 Ed Roland 一出声就已得我心，质感啊质感！特别是唱到“So How Do You Love ?”时……不过但书一下，歌曲结尾的处理不是特别满意……
Collective Soul - How Do You Love [MV]
There once was love thrown into your room
But you never knew
A calendar of days just for you
But you never knew, never knew no
And the truth that you'll find will always be
The truth you hide
So how do you love, how do you love
When your angels can't sing, and your world is still
Lacking of me
There once were eyes that only saw you
But you never knew
A portrait of a flower in full bloom
But you never knew, never knew no
And the words that you fear will always be
The words you hear
This space where you've been living
Has gifts you've never given
That's the face you always show
Ask me for words of wisdom
Tell me of your condition
I don't know, I don't
I don't know
And the truth that you'll find will always be
The truth you hide
