"Stay"

(1994)

Genre:Pop
Lisa Loeb huh? I think she is doing one of those GOD AWFUL reality shows isn't she? Good grief. Anyway, she has always reminded me of a new age looking Nana Mouskouri. However, it is a nice song and as always this volume has always meant a lot to me, my feelings at that time are definitely echoed here in this song. Damn pink jerseys.

This is the way it really is. Lisa Loeb is a woman with a vision. Fiercely independent, savvy and driven, the multidimensional performer, who started her career at the top of the charts when her debut song “Stay (I Missed You)” landed the then unsigned artist at No. 1, continues to follow a singular, self-guided path. On her fifth studio recording, her first for Zoë/Rounder Records, the Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter carefully guides this musical vision to reality. The Way It Really Is is a keenly observed recording, rich in lyrical and musical detail—an engaging, literal and philosophical examination of life and love.

Raised in Dallas, Texas, deeply immersed in the arts, Loeb studied piano and music theory and wrote her first original songs with lyrics while still in her early teens. She earned her degree in comparative literature from Brown University, where she experienced her first taste of musical success with the duo, Liz and Lisa. In the early ‘90s, Loeb moved to New York where she became a favorite on the Manhattan club circuit and surrounded herself with like-minded young musicians, actors and writers. In 1993, Loeb's New York neighbor and pal recommended her to Reality Bites director , who in turn included "Stay" on the hit film's soundtrack. Confirming Loeb's prodigious talents, the Platinum-selling "Stay" earned both a Grammy nomination and a “Best New Artist” Brit Award and resulted in a record deal with Geffen Records.

Loeb’s television credits include her own series for Food Network Dweezil and Lisa, a weekly culinary adventure that debuted in January 2004 and showcased the pair's passion for food, cooking and music. Other TV appearances include The Show, and The Show. Loeb starred in her first feature film role, opposite Oscar-winning actor in the movie House On Haunted Hill in 1999. In 2003 Loeb gave voice to ’s gal pal Mary Jane in MTV’s animated series Spider-Man. Now, on the 10-year anniversary of her worldwide breakthrough, serves up a recording sculpted from recent events and her own experiences. The Way It Really Is offers listeners a deeply personal musical journey.
