MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released in March of 1995,

by June 18th, rock radio was locked in on this one

Collective Soul – “December”

(Music Cut #2)

The title was a metaphor.

To lead singer Ed Roland,

“December” meant the end of something.

The first time he played it for the band

was on an acoustic guitar.

And…they hated it.

(Music Cut #3)

But they gave him one condition

for recording it.

If the song was going to be called “December,”

then the word “December”

needed to actually be in the song.

So that’s how “December”

finally

got December written into it.
