I actually have a funny but sweet story with this song. I was in speech and physical therapy at the time. My therapist allowed her daughter to hang out with me and we ended up listening to Sugarland and this song came on. She coragraphed motions with her hands and I followed. Now that I can sing and talk I look fondly back to those days and try to get the kids at any daycare to be interested in music.
Nice. I'm seeing them in June, but they're with Billy Currington. Ugh, May 9th, even? Day before my birthday,, that would be an amazing concert. Waiting for Keith to release his Toronto show this summer.
I do like both versions. Matt's is definately a bit softer and almost darker in a way, while Sugarland's almost has more soul to it. I like both though, cause you have the soft and sweet version and the twangy version.
AHH!! i heard this song and then realized that this girl at school was singing it but i didnt like the version she had. i guess because i only like country basically.. and i love sugarland soo. this is AMAZING!! love it!
funny thing I was looking for this old school alternative dance song and couldnt find it.... kept looking found more junk. somehow tripped over this and KNEW this song just didnt know SUGARLAND re-did it.....hmmmmm. Country fan yes but this? hmmmmmm kinda liked- I think better when a dude sings it....;)
She did say cat. "Cat" is slang for person or friend. I think it came from the 1930s when swingers referred to others as "hep cats" and only "cat" was retained. It was popular in the '70s.
What is it about the sound of a harmonica. It's like the sound of human longing. Seriously, add some harmonica and I flip for it. This version is gorgeous.
i like this version better cause a girl is singing so like if ur a girl u can send it to ur bf or something and it wouldn't be nearly as weird besides i can understand it better when she's singing
@Bowtome09 Sugarland was originally founded but Kristian Bush and Kristen Hall, and Jennifer Nettles came later. Hall is a lesbian, and there are ugly rumors that she was pushed out of the band for it (because 'country audiences believe in family values'). She sued for $14m in 2008, and the case was eventually settled out of court, for an undisclosed amount. So, no, none of the current members are gay. (but if Kristian wants to try it, he can call me.)
@gracilaneofficial I don't know how your comment has so many positive votes. Got a problem with gay people? Jonas Brothers aren't that bad, leave them alone.
shes a great singer and she sounds amazing...... but i think her country accent is hilarious cause mine was never that bad...... i used to have a bad (not like fake but as in u could tell i was country) country accent and it was funny.... it comes out every once in a while and my friends love it....... they get a kick out of it.. but she has a really bad country accent..... its so funny
by sugarland it sounds all 'i love you' by matt it sounds completely sexy. both are good, depends on what your in the mood for i guess :p tho matts smoother voice is lovely..
Read this carefully blow on your right shoulder, then on your left look up and say your lovers name in your mind then send this message to how ever much letters are in your lovers name (send on different videos or it wont work).
@brandimgg hey if you think about it every male pop idol that recently cam out has considered being gay wether they are actually good or not, not that being is gay is bad but still, these teen popstars will all have their share of hate, look at miley cyrus, even though she isnt a guy, majority of the people loved her, and she turned out to be fake, teens dont do well in fame in fortune, they dont understand the stress that comes with it
This is good I just don’t think her voice really works well for it. Country voices tend to have a slight more nasally or throaty sound and this is a very chest voice song. So yes this is beautiful I just don’t think it quite works right
i think it s cause it was his song first and she must have just liked the song so she sung it so she can't really sing it with the same passion as matt can........
Matt nathanson's, contrary to apparently popular belief, is NOT better. At leat that's what I think. His sounds like a solo from one of the back street boys or maybe someone from 'nsync. This has SOUL.
1. Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didnt notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didnt notice there are only 10 facts
I love Jennifer Nettles! She has such an awesome voice.
I actually have a funny but sweet story with this song. I was in speech and physical therapy at the time.

I love the Matt Nathanson version, but I like the way her twang works on the song too. Very beautiful.
This has more heart.I love it.
i love sugarland but Matt's is a million times better. no one can beat Matt's passion when he sings this song.
I love the country twist Sugarland put on this song. Both versions are great!!
Sugar Land is so creative and they have so much passion behind what they sing! Any thing thay sing! :)
I'm not a big country music fan, either, but this is nice. It's a very well-written, beautiful song. Good job, Matt N!!
Exactly! Doing a cover is actually a compliment to the original artist. I really like Matt's and Sugarland's version of the song.
This version is superb, as well as Matt Nathanson's version. Great song!!!!
Nice. I'm seeing them in June, but they're with Billy Currington.
Ugh, May 9th, even? Day before my birthday,, that would be an amazing concert. Waiting for Keith to release his Toronto show this summer.
i heard this first on a british airways flight
love this version
Sugarland is Rocks and so does this song! I like both versions!
Perfect just perfect
I love this song! The origional is good too.
I LOVE sugarland, but i think matt did this better.
it sounds so cool with her southern accent:)
deff fit for us country music loverss:D
i love this song! WAY better when you sing it.
I love the original and this is a nice remake as well. Love Sugarland....
Sugarland is so great! I think I like this song a little better than the original... :)
I think it is far better than the original.
Inevitable that they would cover this, since they did Run with Matt. Great shit
it's hard to pick which one I like better. they both are so different, but good in their own way. :)
i like this. its such a beautfiul song.
i agree. both are good and pleasant to hear.
I think that each version has its own positive aspects...both are very good.
Thanks for sharing this..it's beautiful
i will love you forever lucy 💕 i will always carry you with me in my heart, you touched souls differently ❤️
Amazing! Great performance
Beautiful song. ^^
love this !!!!! this is the best version
too awesome.
not that she wrote, that he wrote, in case you didn't hear like she said at the very beginning the song, lyrics and all, is by Matt Nathanson.
I love both versions of this song
I luv their cover of this!
My new fav cover!!!!!!
I do like both versions. Matt's is definately a bit softer and almost darker in a way, while Sugarland's almost has more soul to it. I like both though, cause you have the soft and sweet version and the twangy version.
she gives the song a different feel. its kinda cool. i could never say which is better tho
I totally agree!!!!
Very Awesome
Hell YES it is!
I love this song!!!!
i like sugar land and matt mathanson's i think they are both really gud
This is a really beautiful cover!
Yes they Do
so cool!
I like it!!!!!
i love this song
AHH!! i heard this song and then realized that this girl at school was singing it but i didnt like the version she had. i guess because i only like country basically.. and i love sugarland soo. this is AMAZING!! love it!
love the original, love this cover ;)
funny thing I was looking for this old school alternative dance song and couldnt find it.... kept looking found more junk. somehow tripped over this and KNEW this song just didnt know SUGARLAND re-did it.....hmmmmm. Country fan yes but this? hmmmmmm kinda liked- I think better when a dude sings it....;)
So powerful!
wow this is amazing!!!
She did say cat. "Cat" is slang for person or friend. I think it came from the 1930s when swingers referred to others as "hep cats" and only "cat" was retained. It was popular in the '70s.
I love watching her facial expressions and how her lips move when she sings. It is akward but it works
wow.
Oh wow, Keith Urban and Sugarland in ONE night!? Don't think I would be able to handle it, lol.
Where are they playing?
What is it about the sound of a harmonica. It's like the sound of human longing. Seriously, add some harmonica and I flip for it. This version is gorgeous.
my thoughts precisely
I miss you Hunter, Isaiah, & Jonathan Mitchell more than you'll ever know!!
@ACudmore2 hes married and thats his wife in the video and pretty sure the song is about her....
Nathanson's is the original, so I'm going to be partial to that, but this sounds great, too.
i like this version better cause a girl is singing so like if ur a girl u can send it to ur bf or something and it wouldn't be nearly as weird besides i can understand it better when she's singing
@sweetnspicy17 Actually his wife isn't in the video - that's model Rosie O'Laskey. :)
I love sugarland jenifer nettles is the best !
this is a good version but ya i agree that matt nathanson does do a better job. and who is the guy singing with her?
my favourite...oh love that baby....JACKS
This song ish sexeh :P
i concur (:
@Bowtome09 Sugarland was originally founded but Kristian Bush and Kristen Hall, and Jennifer Nettles came later. Hall is a lesbian, and there are ugly rumors that she was pushed out of the band for it (because 'country audiences believe in family values'). She sued for $14m in 2008, and the case was eventually settled out of court, for an undisclosed amount. So, no, none of the current members are gay. (but if Kristian wants to try it, he can call me.)
i likey
@mstrywmn or perhaps she is singing to a woman as well? :) mmmmm
beautiful version.
You can think what you want. But it's Matt's song.
I love you Hunter, Isaiah & Jonathan Mitchell... always and forever !!
@gracilaneofficial dude that is awsome LOL
@gracilaneofficial I don't know how your comment has so many positive votes. Got a problem with gay people? Jonas Brothers aren't that bad, leave them alone.
Kristian Bush, the other member of Sugarland...not her husband
shes a great singer and she sounds amazing...... but i think her country accent is hilarious cause mine was never that bad...... i used to have a bad (not like fake but as in u could tell i was country) country accent and it was funny.... it comes out every once in a while and my friends love it....... they get a kick out of it.. but she has a really bad country accent..... its so funny
I hate country music, but this song is definitely an exception.
Liv Rose hey watch it!!! lol I married my sister
by sugarland it sounds all 'i love you'
by matt it sounds completely sexy.
both are good, depends on what your in the mood for i guess :p
tho matts smoother voice is lovely..
Read this carefully
blow on your right shoulder, then on your left
look up and say your lovers name in your mind
then send this message to how ever much letters are in your lovers name (send on different videos or it wont work).
theres also a guy in sugarland not just her
Ummm yep, she announces that before she starts singing
the singing with her is guy who's always playing the guitar and in her videos with her.
@brandimgg
hey if you think about it every male pop idol that recently cam out has considered being gay wether they are actually good or not, not that being is gay is bad but still, these teen popstars will all have their share of hate, look at miley cyrus, even though she isnt a guy, majority of the people loved her, and she turned out to be fake, teens dont do well in fame in fortune, they dont understand the stress that comes with it
this is a pretty good verison i just like the matt one better.
@gracilaneofficial Not that I'm a Jonas Brothers fan but..."Gay" Brothers? Because they are teen idols this makes them gay? That's not exactly kind.
noopppee
@jewels5192 .. Okay then
This is good I just don’t think her voice really works well for it. Country voices tend to have a slight more nasally or throaty sound and this is a very chest voice song. So yes this is beautiful I just don’t think it quite works right
just what the doctor ordered
i think it s cause it was his song first and she must have just liked the song so she sung it so she can't really sing it with the same passion as matt can........
love it but the accent takes some of the beuty of her voice out of the song
I like the sugarland version better
i dont really like this one as much as matt's but it could be cus i heard his first
is this reba
T-roy Wayne you're not smart are you??
Matt nathanson's, contrary to apparently popular belief, is NOT better. At leat that's what I think. His sounds like a solo from one of the back street boys or maybe someone from 'nsync. This has SOUL.
i like both versions....but i like matts a little better
No no no....Jennifer's version is MUCH more soulful
