One of my favorite guitar songs a bunch of years ago happened to be a tune called Heavy. I remember coming back from the record store (yes, I do remember record stores) with the CD of a band called Collective Soul. I’d been a fan. Even got a chance to go backstage and meet them once at a gig in Los Angeles. Nice guys. The moment I put the CD in and heard Heavy, I was like “What the fuck?!?” I really dug the opening guitar riff, it was Heavy and it had a very modern sound. Loved it right from the start. So, here are the lyrics from Heavy in all their glory for this Throwback Thursday.
Heavy
Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I’m acquainted with your suffering
All your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
All your weight it falls on me
It falls on me
Hold me up to those whom you’ve deceived
Promises you break you still believe
All your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
All your wieght it brings me down
It brings me down
All your wieght it falls on me
It brings me down
All your weight it falls on me
It falls on me.
All your wieght it falls on me
It brings me down
All your wieght it falls on me
It falls on me.
Songwriters: MONAHAN, PAT/STAFFORD, JAMES W/COLIN, CHARLIE
