Song of the Day

Stand Back Up, performed by Sugarland

Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall & Jennifer Nettles

From the album Twice the Speed of Life

I picked Stand Back Up for my "Song of the Day" selection simply because I can't get over how amazing Jennfier Nettles' voice is. Stand Back Up is a great song because it emphasizes that age old message of "when you fall down, you've got to get back up and keep trying." Pick any song of hers or Sugarland's and you can tell she puts everything into every song she sings. I also admire how she can subvert expectations by singing a country tinged song, and then jumping over to a more rock, steam-punk oriented song, evident on Sugarland's last album The Incredible Machine. Have a listen and I am sure you'll agree her voice is one for the ages. I would love to see her or Sugarland live, and am extremely jealous of everyone that gets to see her perform in Chicago.
