In my playlist, the vid immediately preceding this is the one where Nick licks Howie's forehead and Howie almost throttles Nick lol, while here they're all so formal and debonair - both sides are so cute, bless.
I'm with those first clappers. The opening guitar notes to this song are gorgeous and unforgettable. We are so lucky that her friend, actor Ethan Hawke, made director Ben Stiller listen to a cassette tape of this song. Ben decided that it belonged in the movie soundtrack to "Reality Bites," which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1994. Later that spring, "Stay (I Missed You)" was released as the first single from the soundtrack album and shot up to #1 on the charts in both the U.S. and Canada --- making Lisa Loeb the first singer without a recording contract to have a #1 record.
There are very few Guster songs I have not seen live....this is one of them. I hope to experience "The Prize" live before I die. "Where's the booooyyyyyyyyyy"?
I was approached by the staff at the Orpheum Theatre asking if I would be OK with sharing my seat so that Brandi Carlile could sing a song from the box seats. I agreed, and in all honesty I knew this may happen since I had seen her do it before. Although I didn’t think it would be quite like this. Thank you Brandi for a magical little treat to make a night super special for me and my friend.
I am so surprised Rebecca that there are no comments to this video. I always loved Lisa Loeb and this song among others of hers. I'm so glad you recorded it and posted it. Thank you. :)
Great song and a great band! Love this band and the positive message that they are spreading to fight hate and racism! We need more bands like this today. Everybody is so afraid to speak their mind and rock the boat. Their fear is because of their peers!
