Yeah 80s were good and the 90s ...I was kid n the 80s and a teen and young adult in the 90s such great music its all I listen to till this day n Im 45 lol
Lol, I told my son (22) that in the "old days" if we liked a song, we either bought the record or waited till the radio played it, then maybe even got to tape-record it.
Can you believe how Special this song is? 1. Her friend Ethan Hawke were neighbors. At the time he was starring in the movie Reality Bites. He told the Director Ben Stiller to put this song in the movie and on the Soundtrack. 2. At the time Lisa Loeb was an unsigned artist. A radio station in Houston started playing this song. Then other stations started playing it. Like fire it grew fast up the Charts until it reached #1. 3. This song Stay is the FIRST song that made it to #1 by an unsigned Artist. Soon Record Companies had a bidding war trying to sign Lisa Loeb. 4. The Official Music Video was a "One Take Video" meaning there were no takes in between. The idea was Ethan Hawke's and he showed Lisa his idea in his apartment. He planned the whole thing from the cat in the beginning to Lisa opening the door at the end. 5. Lisa has her own Eye Glass line. You can buy them all over including Costco. 6. This song is over 25 years old and still has the staying power today. Stay is still being played all over the World today! CONGRATULATIONS Lisa Loeb for an amazing song and an incredible Story!
I refuse to acknowledge that it's been almost 30 years since this song came out. It just doesn't make sense Edit: If you are reading this in 2024, it has officially been 30 years...yay?
Genres really moved fast that decade... like each year had its own thing going on... Maybe music still evolves that fast, but it's hard to get it to a mass audience
Turning 43 in a month from now. Reminds me of a great time in my life; girls and drinks and parties and a little left over teenage angst and mostly girls. And dating lots of girls.... Did I mention girls? What a fond time to look back on.
Fun fact. Lisa is the first unsigned musician to score a 1 spot on the charts. She'd already graduated from brown (where she briefly played with fellow brown student Duncan sheik). But one of her neighbors liked her music and got "stay" put on the soundtrack for a movie he just completed. The actor was Ethan hawke and the movie was reality bites. After that the song blew up on the radio... So basically you need tons of talent and tons of luck...
Ethan Hawke's career got big thanks to Robin Williams getting him an agent. So on top of all the other good Robin Williams did for the world we can also thank him for Lisa Loeb.
That neighbor was actually Dweezel Zappa the son of Frank Zappa. They both lived in Venice Beach at the time. When Lisa wrote this song about her recent breakup Dweezel took her in and helped pull some strings to get it recorded.
Born March ‘89. This song just screams 90s to me. Reminds me of being a kid, having no worries or stress. Eyes open wide with wonder. Innocent, knowing no pain. I miss my youth. Take care, everyone.❤️
Plus Dave Matthews was selling out stadiums without mainstream radio. The '90s was the last great decade of variety and diverse music and music companies took risks, decent music videos still on MTV, and going to the record store at the mall.
En 1994 se estrena la película Reality Bites, conocida en España como Bocados de realidad y en Latam como Generación X. Dirigida y protagonizada por Ben Stiller, junto a Winona Ryder e Ethan Hawke, cuenta, según explica su propia sinopsis, "una visión de la realidad desde la Generación X". Como suele pasar en este tipo de proyectos de tipo independiente (presupuesto casi nulo) un lugar donde se puede ahorrar es en la música. Se tira de bandas independientes, poco conocidas, y así. Lisa Loeb estudiaba en la misma universidad que Ethan Hawke, y había compuesto música para algunas de las obras en las que él había participado. Además, por aquel entonces vivía en un apartamento justo enfrente al de Hawke. Tantas casualidades no podían quedar en nada. Lisa le comparte a Ethan un cassette con algunas canciones nuevas. Ethan se las lleva a Ben Stiller. Ben la pone en la película (en los créditos finales, pero bien Ben). La canción se vuelve un hit a partir del estreno de la película. Las radios pasan la banda sonora hasta el cansancio, y todos piden por el disco de Lisa, que no existe porque no tenía contrato con ninguna discográfica. El vídeo de la canción fue dirigido por Ethan Hawke y es una idea suya de inicio a fin ese traveling por el apartamento vacío (parodiado años después en Hot Tub Time Machine 2). Lisa no estaba convencida de hacer un vídeo sin su banda, así que Ethan le prometió que si hacían este y no le gustaba, él se hacía cargo de hacer otro con la banda. Adivinen qué pasó. Historias en las que jugarse por lo que a uno le gusta y te apasiona demuestra que trae sus frutos.
Things were so much simpler because we were young and running around with imagination In our heads and also with so much great things around us like movies music and games I won't lie I miss it too!!
The OG cat lady walking around her bare ass apartment singing to her cat about her breakup and how she misses them. This dropped when I was a young pup and I turned 41 today. Still love this song.
@@23Eulogy23 Me too 🎉 Except I did like the humor in friends.😉Have you seen the aesthetic of the music Video for “Breathe” by Anna Nalick? You might like it. I like the artwork hung around the room in the video. I ended up hanging my family memories around my house similarly. Have a great weekend. ~Sheeara, Alaska
I remember the first time I ever saw this video on MTV. I wasn't really paying attention to the TV until she started to sing. When I looked up I almost fell out of my chair. I suppose it's because of the way she is dressed and the "retro" glasses, Lisa looks so much like my sister. My sister was Juanita, Nita for short. I was her "baby brother", but I towered over her. Nita was also a singer & played piano. Lisa's & Nita's voices are almost identical. Nita bought me my first guitar, and I played in her and her husband's band. Sadly she died in a tragic car accident when she was 21, I was 18. I am 67 now, and I owe my love of music to my sweet, wonderful sister. When I saw this video wonderful memories of Nita flooded into my heart. I miss my sis, but I know she has been watching over me. Thank you Ms Loeb, for bringing back some wonderful memories.
I remember when babydoll dresses became a thing. God, I loved the all black everything, black tights under the black dress with the boots. Ahh, the 90's were so awesome.
30 years from now you will look back and you will think that you are on another planet. Believe me, everything is getting faster and faster. It's not that we are slowing down. It is written in the bible, time will increase faster and faster and you won't be able to understand that it is happening. Even your mindset and thinking is being altered and you don't even know it. You mind can not grasp the concept of time as it speeds up.
@@naughtygawd3269 yeah I never understand the whole "boomer" comment. People who are in their 70s are Baby Boomers. When young kids tell people like me who are Gen X, boomers. I usually tell them I was born when Eisenhower was long dead.
My teenage life. I was 15 when this song came out. Mom had just bought our first car, a 1989 ford tempo. We had been poor most of my life. Mom had made some changes at this point that would take us out of poverty. This ford tempo was the first step. We would go driving, just to go. The radio, playin this future legend, made me so happy. Lisa Loeb, legend!
Thank you all! Mom, Sis, and I still look fondly on that tenth grade year of mine! We often just drove because we never had a car of our own, so it felt nice just to go. There was an air of independence I think my sis and I felt; because we were being brought up to be responsible, accountable, and independent peeps. This song is definitely the epitome of that chance moment where we came out of poverty. I often times miss the simplicity of the time. This song elicits so many of those fun times! ❤
Omg man! My mom and dad had a red Tempo that we would jam out to this song! The only car we had when my dad left us! I’m surprised that stereo still played after all we put it through including this smash hit! Such good times!
So we're all in agreement that Lisa Loeb is indeed an immortal Highlander, right ? She looks like she's 23 in the new Geico commercial. You can't fool me, Highlander !
I seriously thought it was CGI or a composite shot with old footage. Then you see go watch the Howard Stern live performance from last year and realize it’s really her
My boyfriend that I had just started dating knew that I loved this song so he went out and bought the CD for me. He will be my husband of 25 years on June 10th of 2020. Not only husband but best friend partner in crime and soulmate. I was 19 when I got married and he was 20. We had our first baby 1-1/2 years later. We now have three amazing children.
That is a magnificent story Jen and I am very happy for you. Congratulations to Both of You and Best Wishes to You all. This song is truly a masterpiece that brought you two together.
Great tune. Lisa is a songwriter who favours simplicity over pomp. Just look at the humility of that video, that song was MASSIVE at the time, good kid and she's become a mature and respected voice 🤟
My wife is 10 years older than me. We've been married for 30 years this past Valentine's Day. She's been in a skilled nursing facility for over a year. She had a stroke. She doesn't remember who I am. But everytime I here your song, it breaks my heart. So thank you. Not to say, it's not a beautiful song, but it steals my heart everytime I hear it.
Mich3ll3 3ll3hciM I really don't think I'll miss these days. It's like we're stuck in a weird purgatory between the 20th century and whatever the future holds.
I think the saddest part about being a millennial is that we know how great life was back then and the only thing we can do to reminisce all those time is by listening to what we used to listen to during all those years. I'm not crying
@@keysersoze6854 I am a Gen-xer as well. Loved the music from the 80s and 90s so much. I love Lisa Loeb too! She still looks absolutely gorgeous! I had to watch this again after watching dave grohl and greg kurstin’s remake for the holidays. It’s a scream for sure! Wonder what Lisa thinks of it? :)
@@ellesreviews8367 haha watching Dave's version was what made me come here and I'd just watched hot tub time machine 2 again where the guy steals her song
sad part about being a millennial is that we're either the generation that messed things up or we're the generation that is blamed for messing things up. But the cool thing about being a millennial is that we got to both experience life pre and post new age tech. That's pretty cool. We're like the transition generation. I was 7 when this song came out and I definitely appreciate it more nowadays cos back in the day, it was played all the time but now it's like once in a while gold.
One of the great things about this song is that it doesn’t follow the typical verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus pattern that almost all pop songs adhere to. And yet it’s still catchy.
51 years old here in 2024. I was 21 when this instant timeless classic first hit the airwaves. I miss those days. Cherish your youth… because tomorrow comes fast.
50 yrs old here. Listened to it during a break up with my highschool Sweet heart. Got back together. Broke up again for good. Almost sent me on a downward spiral. This song tonight flooded me with all those feelings again. There's nothing that matches your first true love, nothing. Believe me cause I've tried it all.
41 yr old here & love this song but can't believe I was 11 when I heard this song but there u go,90s were the best for music,I love listening to the decade now more than ever
i just watched a grainy old version with 1m views and then this popped up. 32m views and crystal clear like it was made yesterday. Wow were the feelings of nostalgia intense watching this version. I can't belive what a difference seeing it in full quality made.
The tone of this song. Acoustic. Conversational. Intimate. Gentle, sincere. A song about two people communicating honesty, an honesty that longs to bring them back and… stay.
I remember the song and I was so hopeful that it would do very well on the charts because I thought it was very unique and a fresh breath of air compared to most of the songs that were topping the charts at that time. I felt it deserved to be a number one song, at least more than a lot of the chart Toppers of that summer.
time has flown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never heard this song (before widespread internet) then went across the pond in 1994 to work on an American camp and the kids there were singing and playing this like crazy....those kids are at least in their mid 30s now!
Wow. Clerk at a computer repair joint BITD. Always liked the artist & voice. Never Saw a vid til like 3-4 years ago. Ain't that worth a V-8 n Pop tart in the forehead. She's kinda Linda, si?!!
I missed the 90s so much.Things were simpler back then.We had no complicating devices back then.Time seemed to stand still.I fell in love with this song and Lisa too! Youth is amazing!
Exactly, youth...I find only kids say this. I was divorced in the 90s and fought cancer. I guess it's simple if your young and no responsibilities... But that's every kids life no matter the year
And nobody was staring at screens 24/7 which is the irony of writing on here. And my peers and I knew how to entertain ourselves something this gen of kids dontkmow how to and thry cant seem to be on their own either. Without being on your own alone, alone not lonely there's a HUGE difference, you dont know how to be comfortable with just being in your own company and allow thoughts to flow.
One of the greatest songs of the 90's that was in heavy rotation the year that I popped the question to my BEAUTIFUL bride-to-be, and here we are, some 21 years later and stronger than ever!!! She DID STAY!!!😍
I was a heartbroken 21 year old when this came out... I thought my world had ended..... 49 now and still get goosebumps when I hear this but can laugh as my younger self
I'd be honored if some fans of 90s classics would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of "Name" by the GOO GOO DOLLS and "1979" by the SMASHING PUMPKINS th-cam.com/video/XqvFK_v3Xfk/w-d-xo.html in tribute to 2 of the most iconic bands from the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
Didnt need a show to come back to this. I will paint the picture. 1994 i was just turned 19. Living on my own 9 roomies at the time one of them was my bf i met living there on my own the first time. When i say nostalgia when i here this it is definitely part of my life of me
@@nickt4976 I was born in '85 and everything about the 80s terrified me as a child. I couldn't wait to get the fuck out of that hellacious, cocaine fueled, shit show of a decade. The 90s buried the cringe that was hair metal. We got grunge, alternative rock, hip-hop, g-funk, ska, punk rock. It was an explosion of musical creativity. I don't think we'll see that kind of authenticity again in music until the industry stops being creatively sanitized and political correctness stops being enforced on artists from an insanely loud minority. TL;DR 80s sucked, 90s ruled.
Hell yeah man, the radio back then was full of pop music that shared such a similar feeling. The waves were dominated by stuff like Will Smith and Third Eye Blind, but also this, and it all felt the same.
@@MatthewStout I think that was a function of us just lumping it all together at the time. To me, now, this just feels more crisp and artistic than the bubble gum it shared the airwaves with.
Unfortunately this song lacks degrading lyrics aimed at black people, drug references and rape -- otherwise the 'coincidence that be' could market it to the hood.
I was 20 when this song came out. Having so much fun during my college life. I missed the time when I was renting rooms with a group of college friends. Absolute freedom during that time. Happy hours with some beers after classes, playing snooker till late and midnight supper etc. Really missed those days 😢 "I wish that I could turn back the clock..."
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins, IF GOD WAS ONE OF US by Joan Osborne, and LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows in tribute to 3 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace out and stay safe.
Great song! Lisa Loeb turned 50 years old back on March 11, 2018... a little bit of interesting trivia about Lisa Loeb and this song is that "Stay" comes from the movie called "Reality Bites" which starred Winona Ryder... When the song was selected to be on the movie soundtrack and then released as a single, neither Lisa Loeb nor her group Nine Stories had a recording contract and were not signed with any record label while the song was becoming a hit..."Stay" ended up reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 exactly 24 years ago TODAY on August 6, 1994, and remained there for a total of 3 weeks..The tune became a "Gold" single and remained on the charts for 7 1/2 months (30 weeks total)!..Lisa and her group went on to sign with Geffen Records, and had 4 additional hits make the Billboard Hot 100 between 1995 and 1998...thanks for sharing this classic original music video! Take Care! Ms. Elizabeth🎶💿🎶💿🎶💿
In '94 was 2 yrs out of college, living in NYC, when this song came out. Girl I was dating, along with her fellow Brown grad girlfriends, would go on and on about how much Lisa Loeb was hated at Brown, especially by female classmates. Super pretentious and too needy for guys to want her were the base charges as I recall.
Christopher, two things, first- at the time I took the Brown girls' complaints about Loeb with a boulder scale grain of salt (they seethed with jealousy), second, in my book gossipy stories from nearly three decades ago are fairly innocuous, and often effective at setting the mood of a period, i.e. gossip of the '70s does not resemble gossip of the '90s.
Exactly. If rap today could at the very least get some _ENERGY,_ that would make it better, +1. This is why music theory and music history is IMPORTANT.
I'd be honored if some classic 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES, Name by the GOO GOO DOLLS, and Long December by the COUNTING CROWS on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great 90s standards. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
The quintessential 90’s girl singing the quintessential 90’s song!!! I love every second of it!!! Such a huge memory of my teenage years!!! I miss the 90’s, but I’m glad I was there for all the hits. I loved my generation. #90’sTeen #GenXer #realitybites
Denise I feel the same. I was a Teenager during the 90s. and I graduated from college then. I remember the quality of the music and the movies. The mtv was just at the brink of became popular, and the american movies were really representative of the USA culture. Nowadays all is gone, and only appears cheap songs and low quality movies.
I was born in 1976, what you're saying is not true, they're still people making great music, only thing i will agree on is the CDs back all songs had to be good hit ones or no one would buy it compared to today's music.
I think one of the things that has happened in the last two decades (and is still happening) is that "popular music" (and "popular culture", in general) has become increasingly "homogenized". From what I see, starting from around the 1980s, most musical artists who manage to maintain their fame and "stay on top" for more than 10 years after their initial debut tend to follow a rather simple song-writing "structure" that goes something like this: "Verse 1"-"chorus"-"Verse 2"-"chorus"-"bridge"-"chorus". The lyrical structure of Lisa Loeb's "Stay", on the other hand, is anything BUT as repetitive and redundant as the the "structure" above. "Stay" was a "number 1" hit back in 1994. Even though Lisa would go on to release several more songs that made it into the "Billboard Hot 100", she was never able to repeat the success that was "Stay", and eventually faded out of the "mainstream" by the turn of the century. If "Stay" were released today with the same lyrical and sound style, it would most likely be relegated to the "indie" zone of the music scene rather than the "mainstream". The reason I say this is because the styling of many of the "indie"/"alternative" pop songs I hear today seem similar to this song. Excuse the long post. I'm not exactly a master of short and concise thoughts LOL.
Imagine hearing this band play this song when you have no idea who they are or what's about to go down. That happened to me in Tunica, MS at the Horseshoe Casinos (Bluesville) Omfg! I went to see the Goo Goo Dolls, and they were awesome... but this song is what I remember most from that amazing night in 2018. The venue was great, too.
This song takes me back to growing up in the 90s when a lot of girls had that kind of dress and songs seemed to have a deeper meaning. Also, you gotta love a girl in glasses. The 90s were a rockin decade.
They say that people’s music preferences are atrophied around age 30. No surprise why people love music of their generation, and deride musical evolutions taking place. It’s not about appreciation or open-mindedness, it’s genetic stubbornness. This music wasn’t anything special compared to previous generation or future music to come.
Konrad Black well I’m not much for accepting what they (whoever they are) when it comes to things like this. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that contemporary popular music has been more about cultural identification than about the music itself. I do agree though that past music isn’t anything more special than current music.
Rather than old and new, I think what set the 90s and other older gen songs were that the popular ones were really good and great. the 90s also had a ton of popular music from different genres. Current music is trash in a way because IMO what's popular is trash... but if you dive deeper, you get a lot of new songs that are just as good if not better than the oldies.
' 94, I was 16 years old, no cellphone, no internet, and loved it.
Life was better then
Was so great
I was 14 y/o ,and I couldn’t agree with you more! 👍🏼
No money too, that sucked.

totally agree, but it's odd when you think
I was born in 1980, 25 previous was 1955
Imagine how different they were both?

im here
im really excited when I watch this music video before. because youll never know when is the next one.
There is still good music just no longer for mainstream pop
I feel ya brother. I was in the womb in 94'. Very different world now
That 90’s Show brought me back here.
My co-worker Michaela is watching That 90's show at work right now and that song came on so I looked it up. It took me back to my teen years. 😃

i dont know who she is but an independent artist is impressive

I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing seeing this
I refuse to acknowledge that it's been almost 30 years since this song came out. It just doesn't make sense
Edit: If you are reading this in 2024, it has officially been 30 years...yay?
Wow it's been that long!?!
Wow thats a long time...wow
Proves that this song stands the test of time. Timeless classic.
Her looking nearly the same in the recent Geico commercial also throws you for a loop.
27 and lets not jump the gun......
The 90's is when music became self-aware but before music became overproduced. It's the perfect musical balance which is why we appreciate it so much!
Holy shit. Ur right
That is exactly correct.
Have a cigar.
Actually there was an overproduction problem in the 80s as well, starting in about 1984.
Genres really moved fast that decade... like each year had its own thing going on...
Maybe music still evolves that fast, but it's hard to get it to a mass audience

It's ok on the age thing. You're in very good company.
Fun fact. Lisa is the first unsigned musician to score a 1 spot on the charts. She'd already graduated from brown (where she briefly played with fellow brown student Duncan sheik). But one of her neighbors liked her music and got "stay" put on the soundtrack for a movie he just completed. The actor was Ethan hawke and the movie was reality bites. After that the song blew up on the radio... So basically you need tons of talent and tons of luck...
Ethan Hawke's career got big thanks to Robin Williams getting him an agent. So on top of all the other good Robin Williams did for the world we can also thank him for Lisa Loeb.
Nice
And the best neighbour!! ❤️
That neighbor was actually Dweezel Zappa the son of Frank Zappa. They both lived in Venice Beach at the time. When Lisa wrote this song about her recent breakup Dweezel took her in and helped pull some strings to get it recorded.
This was actually filmed in Ethan Hawke's apartment in NYC and was filmed before the song was ever released.
Born March ‘89. This song just screams 90s to me. Reminds me of being a kid, having no worries or stress. Eyes open wide with wonder. Innocent, knowing no pain. I miss my youth. Take care, everyone.❤️
The best thing ever ❤
Lisa had the first #1 hit without being signed to a major record label.. History right there.
That is interesting it took until the 90s for that to happen
Plus Dave Matthews was selling out stadiums without mainstream radio.
The '90s was the last great decade of variety and diverse music and music companies took risks, decent music videos still on MTV, and going to the record store at the mall.
And it all started in the 80's!!!
If you wanna go further back I'll just mention the Beatles, Temptations, J5...etc.
History indeed that this song could be a number one hit. What at waste of my time. Not normally so negative but wow
En 1994 se estrena la película Reality Bites, conocida en España como Bocados de realidad y en Latam como Generación X.
Dirigida y protagonizada por Ben Stiller, junto a Winona Ryder e Ethan Hawke, cuenta, según explica su propia sinopsis, "una visión de la realidad desde la Generación X".
Como suele pasar en este tipo de proyectos de tipo independiente (presupuesto casi nulo) un lugar donde se puede ahorrar es en la música. Se tira de bandas independientes, poco conocidas, y así.
Lisa Loeb estudiaba en la misma universidad que Ethan Hawke, y había compuesto música para algunas de las obras en las que él había participado. Además, por aquel entonces vivía en un apartamento justo enfrente al de Hawke. Tantas casualidades no podían quedar en nada.
Lisa le comparte a Ethan un cassette con algunas canciones nuevas. Ethan se las lleva a Ben Stiller. Ben la pone en la película (en los créditos finales, pero bien Ben).
La canción se vuelve un hit a partir del estreno de la película. Las radios pasan la banda sonora hasta el cansancio, y todos piden por el disco de Lisa, que no existe porque no tenía contrato con ninguna discográfica.
El vídeo de la canción fue dirigido por Ethan Hawke y es una idea suya de inicio a fin ese traveling por el apartamento vacío (parodiado años después en Hot Tub Time Machine 2). Lisa no estaba convencida de hacer un vídeo sin su banda, así que Ethan le prometió que si hacían este y no le gustaba, él se hacía cargo de hacer otro con la banda.
Adivinen qué pasó.
Historias en las que jugarse por lo que a uno le gusta y te apasiona demuestra que trae sus frutos.
When I was a kid, I don’t think I realized how “good” things were! Now that I look back, I miss those days!!
not if you lived in yugoslavia lmao
X 2
10000% yes
It's always that
Things were so much simpler because we were young and running around with imagination In our heads and also with so much great things around us like movies music and games I won't lie I miss it too!!
The clothes, the hairstyles the music the freedom, 90's were the best.
Her hair and dress has never been out of style
All except for the unbearable waiting on dial-up internet.
I miss it so much. The music. The clothes. The movies. All of it. We are so lucky to have lived it
Early 90's Gen X memories
The OG cat lady walking around her bare ass apartment singing to her cat about her breakup and how she misses them. This dropped when I was a young pup and I turned 41 today. Still love this song.
Geeeeee a song still relevant today and forever
I miss this aesthetic. Very "friends" and I'm not even a friends fan
Its been stuck in my head for weeks now for some reason.
She's right though...
The girls right it is lol

Because of Geico, we are officially enjoying this earworm that has taken us over. I know I am.
Bout time this banger came back.
Ha ha. Right?
That’s what brought me here. Unfortunately I can’t listen to this song without hearing Craig Robinson singing it in the back of my head.
Yep...I definitely just came here cause of insurance!
Literally just watched that commercial and came right here lmbo
I remember the first time I ever saw this video on MTV. I wasn't really paying attention to the TV until she started to sing. When I looked up I almost fell out of my chair. I suppose it's because of the way she is dressed and the "retro" glasses, Lisa looks so much like my sister. My sister was Juanita, Nita for short. I was her "baby brother", but I towered over her. Nita was also a singer & played piano. Lisa's & Nita's voices are almost identical. Nita bought me my first guitar, and I played in her and her husband's band. Sadly she died in a tragic car accident when she was 21, I was 18. I am 67 now, and I owe my love of music to my sweet, wonderful sister. When I saw this video wonderful memories of Nita flooded into my heart. I miss my sis, but I know she has been watching over me. Thank you Ms Loeb, for bringing back some wonderful memories.
God bless you sir and your sister.
Love you David.
I teared over reading your post. We need to treasure the people we love in life, and keep their memories alive when they are gone. Love to you David.
truly she's been reborn but keep it as a secret, i always thought of this kinda thing
I'm sure she still loves you too bro.
Came here while watching Alice, Darling. Reminded me how much I loved this song! ❤ On my daily soundtrack now 😊
Lisa Loeb is a national treasure. Her cameo on Hot tub time machine 2 was awesome.

Watching it right now 😂
Never seen it but now I'll have to watch it
I remember when babydoll dresses became a thing. God, I loved the all black everything, black tights under the black dress with the boots. Ahh, the 90's were so awesome.

30 years from now you will look back and you will think that you are on another planet. Believe me, everything is getting faster and faster. It's not that we are slowing down. It is written in the bible, time will increase faster and faster and you won't be able to understand that it is happening. Even your mindset and thinking is being altered and you don't even know it. You mind can not grasp the concept of time as it speeds up.
It's so NYC, love dressing all black!

Best times
My teenage life. I was 15 when this song came out. Mom had just bought our first car, a 1989 ford tempo. We had been poor most of my life. Mom had made some changes at this point that would take us out of poverty. This ford tempo was the first step. We would go driving, just to go. The radio, playin this future legend, made me so happy. Lisa Loeb, legend!
Pretty cool comment!! Your Mom sounds pretty awesome. I hope you both have a long, happy ,healthy, prosperous life. ✌️
This is a perfect story. I hope things continued to get better
I enjoyed reading that!
Thank you all! Mom, Sis, and I still look fondly on that tenth grade year of mine! We often just drove because we never had a car of our own, so it felt nice just to go. There was an air of independence I think my sis and I felt; because we were being brought up to be responsible, accountable, and independent peeps. This song is definitely the epitome of that chance moment where we came out of poverty. I often times miss the simplicity of the time. This song elicits so many of those fun times! ❤
Omg man! My mom and dad had a red Tempo that we would jam out to this song! The only car we had when my dad left us! I’m surprised that stereo still played after all we put it through including this smash hit! Such good times!
So we're all in agreement that Lisa Loeb is indeed an immortal Highlander, right ? She looks like she's 23 in the new Geico commercial. You can't fool me, Highlander !
She takes the head of other one hit wonders..and with it their Quickening..There can be only 1..May it be Lisa Loeb..The Crylander.
Oh my gosh I just saw that the other day brilliant and whoever put her on that commercial
YOU say... there can be only one...
I seriously thought it was CGI or a composite shot with old footage. Then you see go watch the Howard Stern live performance from last year and realize it’s really her
Yes, she'll be there in the end with Duncan and Connor! Tricky Highlander thought she fooled us!
Can we take a moment to appreciate this was all filmed in one shot.
The credit belongs to Ethan Hawke.
Had to go and watch it again 👌
I mean, there are probably some hidden cuts there when she passes behind pillars, but it's still a good effect.
@@joshf6136 probably = definitely ... it's a very old trick. Still great video though.
Thats why they left the part where she takes a misstep at 1:10
Jeez, she's gorgeous! Great song!
The 90's really the golden age of pop/rock love songs! Oh, how I miss those days!
Aerosmith's Don't wanna miss a thing was one of the very best
80's were better
ＨＹ
💯
Yes it was. Truly love this song.
My boyfriend that I had just started dating knew that I loved this song so he went out and bought the CD for me. He will be my husband of 25 years on June 10th of 2020. Not only husband but best friend partner in crime and soulmate. I was 19 when I got married and he was 20. We had our first baby 1-1/2 years later. We now have three amazing children.
And it's all thanks to Lisa Loeb and Ethan Hawke who helped get her discovered.
That is SUCH a good story. Wish you all well. x
Lovely story Jen - bless ur family ;)
That is a magnificent story Jen and I am very happy for you. Congratulations to Both of You and Best Wishes to You all. This song is truly a masterpiece that brought you two together.

I think the saddest part about being a millennial is that we know how great life was back then and the only thing we can do to reminisce all those time is by listening to what we used to listen to during all those years. I'm not crying

@@ellesreviews8367 haha watching Dave's version was what made me come here and I'd just watched hot tub time machine 2 again where the guy steals her song
sad part about being a millennial is that we're either the generation that messed things up or we're the generation that is blamed for messing things up. But the cool thing about being a millennial is that we got to both experience life pre and post new age tech. That's pretty cool. We're like the transition generation. I was 7 when this song came out and I definitely appreciate it more nowadays cos back in the day, it was played all the time but now it's like once in a while gold.
Omg i'm not the only one who came here after have watch that 90's show, dope!
One of the great things about this song is that it doesn’t follow the typical verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus pattern that almost all pop songs adhere to. And yet it’s still catchy.
yeah this song structurally hella comlpex
I REALLY DIDN'T TAKE NOTE OF THIS AFTER ALL THIS TIME I HAVE LIKED THIS SONG. THANKS FOR THE OBSERVATION. LOL
I like that too! Lisa describes it as it “unfolds then folds itself back up”.
The HOOOK BRIINGS YOU BAAACK! Except this doesn't really have a hook. It's just extremely well written all around.
Great Point!!!
I was 23 when I first heard this song. It was so powerful than. It’s still so powerful now, 30 years later. I’m 53 and it’s 2024.
Totally!!!!
51 years old here in 2024. I was 21 when this instant timeless classic first hit the airwaves. I miss those days. Cherish your youth… because tomorrow comes fast.
50 yrs old here. Listened to it during a break up with my highschool Sweet heart. Got back together. Broke up again for good. Almost sent me on a downward spiral. This song tonight flooded me with all those feelings again. There's nothing that matches your first true love, nothing. Believe me cause I've tried it all.
54 here and this song makes me feel younger and happier ❤
41 yr old here & love this song but can't believe I was 11 when I heard this song but there u go,90s were the best for music,I love listening to the decade now more than ever

Wow that's so true
Edit - I was in school aged 14 when this song hit the radio
@@isaz597 your soooo right exactly
She still does. Dweezil Zappa is one lucky dude.

I'm leaving this message for another 10 years. Hoping that I can still listen this song once again.
The tone of this song. Acoustic. Conversational. Intimate. Gentle, sincere. A song about two people communicating honesty, an honesty that longs to bring them back and… stay.
How does this comment not have 1K "likes"
Nailed it! This is exactly the mood I feel with this song 💯💯
I remember the song and I was so hopeful that it would do very well on the charts because I thought it was very unique and a fresh breath of air compared to most of the songs that were topping the charts at that time. I felt it deserved to be a number one song, at least more than a lot of the chart Toppers of that summer.
1994, where did the years go..a brilliant song from then.
cult of ravenhill that's what Grampa and Gramma said WTF.....
Time flies!!!
Can't believe that this is OLD....
When I saw copyright 1994 I felt so old.
My mom showed me this.
time has flown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never heard this song (before widespread internet) then went across the pond in 1994 to work on an American camp and the kids there were singing and playing this like crazy....those kids are at least in their mid 30s now!

More life to life too! People weren't having their faces bured in their phones and such
Exactly, youth...I find only kids say this. I was divorced in the 90s and fought cancer. I guess it's simple if your young and no responsibilities... But that's every kids life no matter the year

Without being on your own alone, alone not lonely there's a HUGE difference, you dont know how to be comfortable with just being in your own company and allow thoughts to flow.
This is as perfect a Pop hit as you ever want to hear. The musicianship is World Class, the singing excellent and the lyrics are sublime...

I don't think we'll see that kind of authenticity again in music until the industry stops being creatively sanitized and political correctness stops being enforced on artists from an insanely loud minority.

Unfortunately this song lacks degrading lyrics aimed at black people, drug references and rape -- otherwise the 'coincidence that be' could market it to the hood.
Definitely poetry.

Great song! Lisa Loeb turned 50 years old back on March 11, 2018... a little bit of interesting trivia about Lisa Loeb and this song is that "Stay" comes from the movie called "Reality Bites" which starred Winona Ryder... When the song was selected to be on the movie soundtrack and then released as a single, neither Lisa Loeb nor her group Nine Stories had a recording contract and were not signed with any record label while the song was becoming a hit..."Stay" ended up reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 exactly 24 years ago TODAY on August 6, 1994, and remained there for a total of 3 weeks..The tune became a "Gold" single and remained on the charts for 7 1/2 months (30 weeks total)!..Lisa and her group went on to sign with Geffen Records, and had 4 additional hits make the Billboard Hot 100 between 1995 and 1998...thanks for sharing this classic original music video! Take Care! Ms. Elizabeth🎶💿🎶💿🎶💿
In '94 was 2 yrs out of college, living in NYC, when this song came out. Girl I was dating, along with her fellow Brown grad girlfriends, would go on and on about how much Lisa Loeb was hated at Brown, especially by female classmates.

Christopher, two things, first- at the time I took the Brown girls' complaints about Loeb with a boulder scale grain of salt (they seethed with jealousy), second, in my book gossipy stories from nearly three decades ago are fairly innocuous, and often effective at setting the mood of a period, i.e. gossip of the '70s does not resemble gossip of the '90s.

Tis not good to be immortal. Of course if you have no concept of Time(a development of civilization) tis not a thing. Lemonade on the swing?
😂 he was just saying it as a figure of speech bro chill it’s not that deep
I just googled her and damn you're right. Wth lol.
@ebktoonz8436 There's Always one
what a way to open December 2019! miss the 90s so much...
👋👋👋🖐🖐😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔
I'd be honored if some classic 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES, Name by the GOO GOO DOLLS, and Long December by the COUNTING CROWS on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great 90s standards. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
Marvin Sena good taste sir 👌🏽
FOESHOW
She defiantly hit this one out of the park and then some.
This song will forever be one of the most iconic songs in the 90s
@Angelo Salamanca Weird question. What does that have to do with anything?
I agree.
I've never heard it before
Along with the one that goes "mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm"
How I wish I had a time machine to the 90’s.
The quintessential 90’s girl singing the quintessential 90’s song!!! I love every second of it!!! Such a huge memory of my teenage years!!! I miss the 90’s, but I’m glad I was there for all the hits. I loved my generation. #90’sTeen #GenXer #realitybites
This was my personal high school grad song. This and Madonna's "I'll Remember".
All of our 90's icons are middle aged now. Mindblower.
And so are we.
13 turns into 40 faster than I could have imagined.
Lisa Loeb was such a babe! This song has carried me thru so much throughout my life. The 90s was the last era for amazing music♥️
Denise I feel the same. I was a Teenager during the 90s. and I graduated from college then.
I remember the quality of the music and the movies.
The mtv was just at the brink of became popular, and the american movies were really representative of the USA culture.
Nowadays all is gone, and only appears cheap songs and low quality movies.
I was born in 1976, what you're saying is not true, they're still people making great music, only thing i will agree on is the CDs back all songs had to be good hit ones or no one would buy it compared to today's music.
I think one of the things that has happened in the last two decades (and is still happening) is that "popular music" (and "popular culture", in general) has become increasingly "homogenized". From what I see, starting from around the 1980s, most musical artists who manage to maintain their fame and "stay on top" for more than 10 years after their initial debut tend to follow a rather simple song-writing "structure" that goes something like this:
"Verse 1"-"chorus"-"Verse 2"-"chorus"-"bridge"-"chorus".
The lyrical structure of Lisa Loeb's "Stay", on the other hand, is anything BUT as repetitive and redundant as the the "structure" above. "Stay" was a "number 1" hit back in 1994. Even though Lisa would go on to release several more songs that made it into the "Billboard Hot 100", she was never able to repeat the success that was "Stay", and eventually faded out of the "mainstream" by the turn of the century. If "Stay" were released today with the same lyrical and sound style, it would most likely be relegated to the "indie" zone of the music scene rather than the "mainstream". The reason I say this is because the styling of many of the "indie"/"alternative" pop songs I hear today seem similar to this song. Excuse the long post. I'm not exactly a master of short and concise thoughts LOL.
Pretty much
Correction.....she is a babe, women are getting better with age now
Oh my goodness. My daughters used to sing this song so loudly in the car while riding. They were 9 & 4 years old. What great memories!!
Imagine hearing this band play this song when you have no idea who they are or what's about to go down. That happened to me in Tunica, MS at the Horseshoe Casinos (Bluesville) Omfg! I went to see the Goo Goo Dolls, and they were awesome... but this song is what I remember most from that amazing night in 2018. The venue was great, too.
She hasn't aged a day. She's so pretty.
Edit: I'm hoping that one of the people who liked my comment is actually Lisa Loeb.
Oh I miss these innocent days. When the Internet was just yahoo mail, hotmail, and aol lol
That wasn't even around when this was out lol
@@innocentrage1 go look it hope rage dude
NetZero...
@@innocentrage1 1994 was the year when it was release
Want it dialup, though? 😅 What I initially had was.
This song takes me back to growing up in the 90s when a lot of girls had that kind of dress and songs seemed to have a deeper meaning. Also, you gotta love a girl in glasses. The 90s were a rockin decade.
deanna woods not really
Yea, I prefer the 90's female singers over any today's female singers. Tori Amos, Jewel, Lisa Loeb , Natalia Imbruglia, Bjork, Enya ,etc.
They say that people’s music preferences are atrophied around age 30. No surprise why people love music of their generation, and deride musical evolutions taking place. It’s not about appreciation or open-mindedness, it’s genetic stubbornness. This music wasn’t anything special compared to previous generation or future music to come.
Konrad Black well I’m not much for accepting what they (whoever they are) when it comes to things like this. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that contemporary popular music has been more about cultural identification than about the music itself. I do agree though that past music isn’t anything more special than current music.
Rather than old and new, I think what set the 90s and other older gen songs were that the popular ones were really good and great. the 90s also had a ton of popular music from different genres. Current music is trash in a way because IMO what's popular is trash... but if you dive deeper, you get a lot of new songs that are just as good if not better than the oldies.
My wife's favourite song, been 16 years her party piece, will never grow tired of this masterpiece, love her and you too Lisa, thank you ❤💎
