Need You Now

I had heard the name Lady Antebellum and had heard a song here and there. Thought they were okay, but nothing that really captured my attention. That was until this past week when I was listing to the top 100 songs at a download site.

And wow, just wow!

I was blown away by this song. From its simple piano opening to its simple straightforward lyrics, the song just conveys an amazing amount of passion and longing. And the guy who sings the lead has an awesome voice. I look forward to discovering more about this group.

I liked Lady Antebellum until I heard this song. I love this song! It is now of my favorite songs. A great country ballad. If you are not looking for a longing love song it might not be for you, although I wasn't when I first heard it.

Normally the idea of a ballad being a kick off to a new CD is not what I am used to sure some singers do it and it does really well point in case this song. Lady Antebellum really shows that there still going strong with this kick off to their new CD due out next year. Hillary Scott & Charles Kelly who sing the main leads on this song are a dream duo and their vocals really shine on this their harmonies are fantastic. It's a song of a love lost and with a chorus like this:

It's a quarter after I'm all alone I need you now,
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control but I need you now
And I don't know how I could do without but I need you now

You really can't go wrong it really sums up the whole song.

Overall and in my opinion Lady A is back and better than ever if you liked their first CD you won't be disappointed with this song at all.

This song has been everywhere and it was starting to get on my nerves but I must say that it has grown on me and I like singing to it going to work...its becoming bearable.

Great song (definitely the best song to come out since One Republic's "Apologize" (and this is from a guy who tends to favor Metal music overall)). I Need You Now has a great story, awesome vocals and mostly well done instrumentation. On this song, they sound way more like a mainstream pop band than a country band. HOWEVER... this could be an issue: I want to get an MP3 of it... however, I hear it on KISS FM and I swear the version there is less country. Does anyone know anything on various mixes of this song? I have searched wiki and various places, I have found some extreme dance remixes, but I just want the version of the song that gets played on pop radio and I have seen nothing definatively discussing various mixes. Unless I am imagining things, the version I hear on pop radio seems to be mixed more for pop... the bass seems louder, guitars seem more polished than twangy, steel guitar is pushed to the back of the mix (or maybe even out completely), etc. All in all, there rightfully seems to be less twang in the KISS FM version. When I listen to MP3s on Amazon, the song here seems more country than it does on the radio. Any insight would be greatly appreciated... otherwise I am going to suck it up and just grab this version. My guess is the version on "Now 33" is probably what I want, but that one is not available via MP3.

"Need You Now" is a beautiful, bittersweet breakup song. The relationship is over.. but some feelings remain. "Need You Now" is a grown up, mature song compared to the sappy sweetness of Taylor Swift. Swift sings about innocent young love. This song addresses heartbreak and loss. Do we really want to reunite with those who have broken our hearts? Or would we rather have a drink? There's a tear between the present moment and what happened. "Need You Now" is a bittersweet country masterpiece. Lady Antebellum is one of the most promising country groups out now. Hopefully this is the beginning of great things.

I LOVE THE VOICES OF THE TWO LEAD SINGERS.HIS GRAVELLY,
HERS SWEET. ITS ONE OF MY FAVE WESTERN MUSIC CD'S!!

I heard this song for the first time when they performed it on The Grammy's. I was immediately moved to tears. I went straight to youtube to find out if I'd heard what I thought I did. I had and so I bought it either here, on amazon or on iTunes.
I must have listened to it a hundred times by now. The lyrics speak to my soul. The harmony is perfect. And the music is lovely.
I can't find a single thing wrong with this song except that I didn't hear it sooner.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!

There honestly has beena strong lack of great songs out there right now. So, there have been a few newcomers that really have caught a strong eye lately, and Lady Antebellum has honestly been a huge surprise. Their latest single Need You Now is a simple and straight-forward Country crossover that handles well. I really was surprised about the song. It really isn't a bad song to listen to, and a great escape from acts like Rihanna, and Beyonce' who've been a bit overexposed on radio. I'm really eager to hear what they have coming up next for their next single. Hopefully, it can be something just as great and something that fans will need them for soon.

Song: B

I first saw Lady Antebellum as a lead opening for a major star and new immediately that they would be successful on their own. The harmony between the vocals is excellent and the songs really fit the group. To me "Need you Know" is just about the best song they have done to date. It is a beautiful melody and I could (and do) listen to it every day.
