Howie Day performs a beautiful version of "Collide" with a great band and a great string quartet on The Late Show With David Letterman on February 9, 2005.
This song has so much meaning for me. I remember when I asked William, my husband, to put it into our computer. I'm still listening to it... even though William has passed. Thank you Howie for such a beautiful love song, and perfect for today, Valentine's Day... and thank you William for our memories.
This is the best song! I always love this song. And, I love this version! What a wonderful song! I can relate to this song! And Howie is a great singer!😀
An Ah! Ha! moment for Indie Musicians~ Never be afraid to re-release the material you KNOW is GREAT & "seize the moment" as Howie & band did in this powerfull live performance. Fabuloso!
I first heard of Howie about 16 years ago when he made his first appearance on KCRW 89.9FM in Los Angeles May 20,2002~ I recorded his live performance and played that thing to death~I think I still have that CD~His newer(major label release) stuff just doesn't come close~
The string quartet really helped and made the song more beautiful; but overall, you've just gotta love the emotion and the feeling of the piece. It's just chill and almost feel-good, despite the message cloaked inside of it.
I remember this song being performed on SNL & thought it totally classy. But, I can't find it, but perhaps a Letterman performance is close enough, though I haven't seen it, yet. :)

What the heck happened to the video of Howie singing "She Says" on Letterman? I should've downloaded it. It doesn't seem to be on CZcams anymore but it's my favorite version of the song. 😢
@TheMangasm Not really sure what i was thinking when i wrote this actually?? I think i had listened to loads of other versions where you could hear the guitar strumming.. listening again now you are right it is a nice blend?! haha i must of had a moment! lol

Here's my attempt
"Collide" Howie Day cover by "Dennis Mayer"
Dennis Mayer collide
is there any singer who didnt cover this amazing song?
Lyrics:
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometime
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
I'm quiet, you're not
You make a first impression
But I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometime
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide
Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
Finally find
You and I collide
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
You finally find
You and I collide
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
Ana un tango aprendió! 0:59 XD
What does he sing at the end is it "give us love for the part hope now"
What the heck happened to the video of Howie singing "She Says" on Letterman? I should've downloaded it. It doesn't seem to be on CZcams anymore but it's my favorite version of the song. 😢
