On Stay, JamLive are able to bring in hints of Muse and Radiohead to something that is tremendously emotional and alluring from its onset. The care in which JamLive takes to create this soundscape is nothing less than incredible; both the vocal and instrumental sides contribute to a greater whole. The usage of white space here is nothing less than impressive; the act can move from quiet sections to something emotionally intense and enthralling at the drop of a pin. The video (embedded below) provides an exclamation point to the lyrical content laid down here; JamLive’s lyrics are laid down here emotionally fragile narrator that just wishes things were as they once were.
