Hi,
I am doing an assignment on the Howie Day song "collide" and was wondering if anyone could tell me the background info on it?
Like, did he write it about someone he was in love with, is there a story behind it..? etc.
Thanks,
Stef xx

Now i've never met howie myself but from just listening to how you people(the negative, super dramatic people,that is) i can only think of one thing to say to you.WHY DO YOU CARE!!!!!!!!! I mean honestly,its not like any of his die hard fans are actually going to stop goin to his shows and giving him support so,you need to ask yourself,why are you really on this site? If its just to be heard,mission accomplished we hear you and we still love howe. :) So all of you out there using this site like an alternate lifetime channel,particularly the one that felt it neccessary to recap her'' horrible experiences'' get over it. And those who are fans,be fans and those who are not dont be.Easy right? ;)

Tell howie hes Silly for not coming out to Australia. it's not fair that he names an album with our Countries and then doesn't even come to visit.

Howie Day,
I would have to say that you're my new favorite artist and I always turn up the radio when I hear your song play!!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds easy enough but alot of the people here say they never thought to look at a site that was so easy to access.The site itself is really awsome it gives a short audio video of an interview that Howie had a while back and it also shows you performances that are also featured on the dvd's accompanying the Australia and Stop all the World Now albums.So I think the sight was pretty cool and as always any info on Howie is always a good thing!

Went into work today and got a copy of the Blue E.P from a co-worker. I was totally pumped since this has been out of print since 2001, and she had a few extra copies of it, so I might get another! Not only that, but its still sealed, which is totally cool. Anyway, this old stuff is the Howie music I like, not a big fan of him full band, or Stop All the World Now. Its a shame that people who only know him from that album didn't catch him live in late 2000 or 2001, pre-epic. The last show I caught him at was in late 2003, and I, like many people who listened to him from early in his career all agree that he was better then. Its unfortunate that he will never do a "fun" show where he loops a bunch of songs and just has fun onstage. Oh well, at least I got to see, hear, and meet him early on in his career.

HEy im a BIg HUMGO fan of howie im trying to lear how to play his music it's kinda hard.
Well just thought id say i love this site!
Thanks For Being there for him!

howie is not famous in france but i'm really a big fan. I hope one day I could see him on a show in paris...I talk my friends and over people about him and his amazing music some of them like him.

HEY, I ENJOY YOUR SONGS COLLIDE AND SHE SAYS. I THINK THE WORDS MEAN ALOT. ITS REALLY GREAT TO LISTEN TO THE SONGS YOU HAVE A GOOD VOICE . KEEP UP THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS YOU WRITE.

2 years ago i heard a song named ghost on AOL learned it and perfected it i had my first gig at starbucks and i played a song that wasnt familiar but everyone of my friends loved howies music months later just giging out playing open mics i was in a roll over accident which i almost lost my fret arm..2 months after my accident i woke up from a coma and at the moment i never thought i would ever play again doctors said it was phisicall mpossible but today 12/31/05 at 2 AM and tired from work i have proved everyone wrong i recored a demo and i play a lil different but i will never forget who gave me the inspiration to jam on pedels and loop everything and make crazy delay i work for guitar s and pedels and a cool pa ....my parents wete anoyed for a while in the past cause of my playing but now the actually listen lolhahaha now people are freaking out i belive i was saved to play music i write compose my own stuff but howie has given me inspration to play and to have that power over someone is soo amazing...when i run into a famos person like a spurs played i dont feel below them yes they make money and yes the can do what they want but they are human and the think just like you lol but their mind set is stuck in a creative mode that no shrink can diagnois what is sane now days huh well................this is a song that will be posted on my my space the lrics go.............."something crazy is comming inside of my head today changes will be changes is lust will be lust but love is what i need today, change your ways for me today these bands singing about this and that and what is love to them what is love at all what has it become today

this is for anylady
"sexy lady precious woman can you tell me who iam wemen weep in silent tears never knowing why the cry, bridges are buring water is flowing, people are living though im insane" rue

Ouch! The site doesn't work well with FireFox. Tell Howie I said good luck, and yes he is cute.

I would just like to know when or if Howie is going to come out with some new songs. He has relesed so many special editions and I'm ready to hear some new stuff. Don't get me wrong I loved those special editions i have all of them..hehe anyway i thought i read somewhere that he was and was just wondering if anyone else has???Also Howie please come back to your home state for a concert you haven't been here since october last year......We miss you!!!!

Howie was so awesome when he came to Oklahoma. He is such a good performer and is also really funny. It felt awesome singing along to "Collide" especially when he encouraged it. Please come back soon! If you think he cute in pics, he's a lot hotter in person.

Howie is absolutely a talented singer/songwriter. I just don't think he's publicized correctly. Secondly, I'm not sure if Howie envisioned the direction of "She Says" video, I'm hoping he didn't, because I have to think he would vision something so much better than an urban setting?! I really thought the video was empty and couldn't of shot at a worse place. It simply didn't portray any realness with the song, which is a great song. A music video is so crucial because you're putting a stamp to the eyes of the listeners. It also brands and markets the musician and the song. I'm utterly disappointed with this video. He took steps backwards with this Director and Editor. Howie just had his biggest year, and in my opinion, this video is not a forward movement. By the way, how great would it be if Howie did a solo, live-some future hit song at MTV Music Awards within the next couple of years?! That's the level I would like to see him.....
