Lady Antebellum and Stevie Nicks – Need You Now – Live at CMT Crossroads
Stevie’s voice by itself is such a monument of the sounds of the 70s and 80s. She can adapt her voice to suit any style of music. She’s one of a kind!
The enchanting fusion of country and rock, of two generations and styles, came alive on the CMT Crossroads stage when Lady Antebellum joined forces with the legendary Stevie Nicks for a captivating rendition of “Need You Now.” The result? Pure musical magic.
From the moment they stepped onto the stage, the chemistry between Lady Antebellum and Stevie Nicks was palpable. It was clear that this collaboration was more than just two acts sharing the spotlight; it was a genuine meeting of musical souls. The performance began with the haunting, ethereal voice of Stevie Nicks, drawing the audience into a dreamy atmosphere that set the stage for what was to come.
As the song progressed, the blending of Lady Antebellum’s signature country harmonies with Stevie Nicks’ rock-infused vocals was nothing short of breathtaking. The song’s emotional depth was amplified in this live rendition, and the audience was completely entranced. The choice to interweave Nicks’ classic “Edge of Seventeen” into the performance was a stroke of genius, seamlessly connecting the two artists’ repertoires and showcasing their adaptability.
The musicianship was outstanding throughout the performance. Lady Antebellum’s instrumental prowess was on full display, complemented by the steady, driving rhythm provided by Nicks’ backing band. The result was a sonic tapestry that perfectly encapsulated the essence of both artists’ styles.
Visually, the stage design and lighting added another layer of enchantment to the performance. The interplay of shadows and colors enhanced the emotional journey of the song, making it a truly immersive experience for the audience.
But what truly made this performance exceptional was the passion and authenticity of the artists. Both Lady Antebellum and Stevie Nicks poured their hearts and souls into “Need You Now,” and it resonated deeply with everyone in the audience. The genuine appreciation and respect they had for each other’s music were evident in their interactions on stage, creating a sense of unity and camaraderie that was truly heartwarming.
Lyrics:
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause
I can’t fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call, but I lost all control
And I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whisky
Can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It’s a quarter after one
I’m a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call, but I lost all control
And I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
Guess I rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn’t call
But I’m a little drunk and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh, baby, I need you now
