Commenting on the creation of "Tremble for My Beloved" and its meaning, Ed Roland said: When we did pre-production in Atlanta, this is one of the first songs we wrote.
[1] In 2008, over nine years after the song's release, "Tremble for My Beloved" was featured in the film Twilight as well as on its accompanying soundtrack.
Following the film's success, the song's exposure earned Collective Soul new popularity among a younger audience.
Soundtracks have a way of perpetuating the life of the song and when you're involved with something as popular as Twilight, it opens up a lot of new territory.
Stephenie Meyer, who is the author of the Twilight books, is a big fan of Collective Soul and she handpicked every song on the entire first soundtrack.
I remember seeing a lot of young kids at one of our shows after the movie came out and they knew "Hollywood" and "Tremble for My Beloved."
When the song regained popularity from the success of Twilight in 2008, the band began performing it live again the following year.
