  • Seventh Mist from 7th Heaven“YEAH!!”
  • Tala from Belleville, OnGreat song. My grandfather and younger sister get a special thanks for getting me into the song. Even though this is not a Christian song, it does spread positive messages around the world just as much as We Are The World (1985). This is now one of my favourite songs to listen to. Listening to powerful and positive songs is a really good thing. If you're feeling down in the dumps, this is one of the songs that I would recommend listening to if you want to hear a powerful and positive song that is not Christian. The music video is familiar to me somehow even though it was my first time watching it. To Collective Soul, well done with spreading positive messages to everyone. You guys are one of the bands that inspires me to create new ideas for my stories. I love the song as it gives that powerful and positive message that everyone needs to hear. Keep up the FANTASTIC and AWESOME work!
  • Dave from Cincinnati, OhGreat band, good time to be alive.
