What does the song “Collide” by Howie Day actually mean?
“Collide” is the second single from singer/songwriter Howie Day’s second full-length album, Stop All The World Now, released in 2003. The song, co-written with Better Than Ezra frontman Kevin Griffin, follows in the vein of works from other pop balladeers like Dave Matthews, John Mayer and Duncan Sheik. The London Session Orchestra provided backing instrumentation on the initial album version of the song. Like much of Day’s work, the song’s lyrics are rooted in a relationship, with notes of the occasional adversity the two people involved may face. The music video was filmed in Toronto.
