Dandy Life by Collective Soul

I believe this is song may stand as somewhat unique in the Collective Soul library, primarily because it was sang by Ross Childress instead of default vocalist Ed Roland. Roland's voice can still be heard though doing backup duties on the chorus part.

One thing I like about the song is that it seems to be simple, starting with what seems to be a electronic drum back beat and jangling of guitars. This is one of my favorites among the Collective Soul catalog.

Took a walk to a caution scene
I guess I crossed the line somehow
And if I lost some of your hope
I'm sorry for the folly was all mine

And I don't ever really understand
All the things we say
But I try to anyway
Anyhow

For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Everything, Everything, Everything


Hangin' on every way
My social butterfly
Everyone wants to be loved
Loved in their own way

I can say I spent the night
On the telephone inside, When you said that 

every single one of us can find a happy face
So why don't you go try
To Try anyway

And I suppose I was born yesterday
'Cause I never thought of things quite 

In that way at all
and in that way

For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Everything, Everything, Everything

 
Hangin' on every way
My social butterfly
Everyone wants to be loved
Loved in their own way, way

Everyone wants to be loved
Loved in their own way, way
Hangin' on every way
