Have you ever heard a song and liked it but for a reason that to most would sound absurd, you liked it because it almost made you cry? This song does just that! This video has got to be one of the most gutwrenching videos I have seen in quite awhile. While most of Sugarlands songs are happy and talking about love, this song takes a new path on the road of happy-go-lucky love to the often less traveled dark and tearful side. The song is titled "Stay". Talking about a marriage that didnt work and had such an impact of such magnatude that it created a new way of life. A life not waiting on that person to come back but a life that would force her to move on! With the vocals that make your arm hair stand on end it will definitely keep you listening to the song. When you listen to the song really listen, it tells us all a message. "What do I have to do to make you see She can't love you like me Why don't you stay I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of bein' lonely Don't I give you what you need When she calls you to go There is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay You keep tellin' me baby There will come a time When you will leave her arms And forever be in mine But I don't think that's the truth And I don't like bein' used and I'm tired of waitin' It's too much pain to have to bare To love a man you have to share." "So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine Why don't you stay I'm up off my knees I'm so tired of bein' lonely You can't give me what I need When she begs you not to go There is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way Baby why don't you stay"
Well I know that this band is not really new but I figured the song has such an emotional impact I would share it. Jennifer Nettles with guitarist Kristian Bush were just newbies about a year ago but all that changed with their album, which went double platnium. This band will increasingly move up the charts in major numbers if they keep it up. Jennifer has such a magnificent country-soul sound to her voice that it will grow on people. She wouldn't be there without her trusty guitarist and friend who brings harmonics and the every so pleasant guitar.
By the way this song is based on Jennifers former marriage.

Wow, so I love Sugarland, but I have never heard this song before. Good pick! It's a really good song and I can completely relate to it...given the fact that my boyfriend(okay so we're not married) and I just broke up and I'm pretty sure he is with another girl. I love the fact that by the end of the song she shows her strength, because it is so hard to be strong in the beginning, but eventually you come to realize that someone like that is not worth your time. I also love the fact that you put country on here! Not too many people are big fans, but I am!
I have to say that I absolutely love Sugarland!! I have both of their cd's and they are a great band!! A lot of people can relate to their songs and Jennifer has such a powerful voice. I love to listen to them! Thank you so much for posting this, I hadn't seen that video yet, but I love the song!!
