  • I was at the Sugarland Concert when they did this....I fell in love with it!!! God Bless You dsloveswva, what a great story,thanks for sharing.A great bonding song for your family! Your Father will watch over you ,Mom and the family!!!!

  • everyone did amazing but Jimi, Karen, Kim and Phillip are my favorite vocalists out there :) beautiful song. One of the few songs with jennifer that i like

  • i have to tell a story about this song--my beloved father passed away suddenly in february, and our family went to key west the first week of lobster season like my dad always did, and gently put his ashes in the sea at his favorite fishing spot. we hit a storm on the way back ; we knew we were safe,felt his loving presence and played this song and danced and sang out loud at the top of our lungs. my mom did alot of healing then, and i know my dad was helping us along. peace.

  • Aw, that's sweet. I love this song.

  • @dsloveswva great story love the song, hope all is well!

  • great song and video

  • such a great cover!!

  • they rocked country concert

  • That Jennifer is awsome ~!

  • i listen to a lot of talent . she is going to be around a long time. she has that gift that stands out. but man the competition is so tough nowadays. there is so much talent out there. god bless them all. its youre era kids take a stand with it.

  • She has/had (have not heard an update for about 10 days) a throat condition which forced them to cancel shows... it caused her to have laryingitis

  • The throat condition is old news. She got over this a long time ago.

  • this is a very good cover of the dream academy hit, from 1985.... hope jennifer nettles gets well again so she can get back on the road

  • What happened to Jennifer Nettles??

  • she had laryingitis because of some throat problem

  • wait..?

    what the name of the song? a northern town?

  • It's called 'Life In A Northern Town'.

  • I can't remember the url, but if you google searching either for song lyrics or the name of the song, there is a site that has the lyrics to practically everything. Good luck!

  • where can i get there lyrics???? help!!

  • who actuallywrote this song?

  • I wish American Idol would/could use this song for their group performance for country night. A collaboration song makes SO much more sense than a song in first person sung by 12 people!

  • i think that was one of the best country collaborations in a long time!

    loved it!

  • I agree. The cutaway shots of the girls dancing is cool. Damn Jennifer is so sexy.

  • I miss the hippie looking Jennifer Nettles that wore jeans and no shoes before the label's imaging people got their talons into her.

  • i totally agree with you, artists should be able to wear what they want. because jennifer is like known for her look.

  • I absolutly love this song! Every single one of them sings amazingly beautiful!

  • How is life in a northern town?

  • It's amazing!! I live in a town with about 600 people. LOVE IT. Everybody knows everybody. We help eachother out when in need. Everybody would love it. It can't get any better then this!

  • It sounds pretty much like a southern town

  • Google Nick Drake.

  • Comment removed

  • god your lucky, i've always wanted to live in a small town

  • excellent!!!

    Laura

  • Badass. Just plain badass.

  • For what it's worth, this song (originally by The Dream Academy) is an homage to Nick Drake. If you don't know much about about Nick and his music and untimely death...well, wow: please do a search and learn more. The surprise will knock your socks off.

  • the harmony in this song gives me chills every time i listen to it

  • called Dream Academy...sorry

  • The original version of this song is by a group claad Dream Academy. Check it out as well. Great song!!

  • lol, i thought they are saying "he didnt die" where the "into the night" is sung, im deaf i guess:)

  • I thought the same thing until I read your comment.

  • me too. whoa!

  • i luv this

  • thanks, i've been trying to figure it out forever!!

  • Love this song!

  • I absolutely love Jake Owen's part in this song!!

  • does anyone know what they are actually saying in the chorus? all i hear is hey im ma ma ma blaaaaaaaaah.

  • thats pretty much right lol. its a chant...

    heya ma ma ma

    hey de nay (or into the night... its been debatable)

    hey a ma ma ma heya

    life in a northern town

    hey ma ma

    hey a ma ma ma

    hey de nay

    they shut that factory down

    hey ma ma ma

  • yeah i do.

    they say : hey-a-mama-ma- ma -ah - INTO THE NIGHT- hey-a-ma-ma-maaahh.

  • .one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard...call me crazy or whatever...ever since this song has come out i can listen to it everyday and not get sick of it...plus i love little big town; sugarland& jake owen aren't too bad either!

  • Fucking magnificent.

  • this is a awsome song i cant stop playing it better then the original !!!!!

  • Anyone who dislikes this song is crazy, look at all the talent and the voices and tell me this is not a great song....I wish I could see these guys here in the cities...would be first in line....

  • Saw them in Maine , Great Show!!!!!!! Little Big Town is Our Favorite!!

  • i don't care if this song is about penguins from the mutherfucking south pole! it's a great song for harmony and damn near everyone knows the words and can sing along with it! since so many brits protest that only english people should sing this then ile make a deal with you. we won't sing this song if ule stop singing blues, rock and roll, jazz, hip hop and rap! except KLF. they may perform whatever they want to. afterall, they are the justified ancients of mu mu further known as the jam!

  • What's your idea of a good country artist, then? Since you know all about their childhood you should at least know what a good artist is...?

  • gosh, let me think...musicians, vocalists. What more, in music,, do you want? Country, any realm you want, that's what matters. Only

  • look it up, all histories of all members of both bands are out there. When you've slugged through what they have to get their music and voices out there, and listened to...then, you get to talk. How many song hits you had?

  • this is a great song! much better than the original i think!

  • can someone tell me who all the people are that r singing greatt songggg!!!

  • jake owen, sugarland, and little big town

  • read the title... :)(:

  • i like this song

  • Who knew Joke Owen could sing bass! freakin awesome... 7 part harmony! can't beat it.

  • It's a great verison of a late 80's song

  • wouldve been cool to see live. Little big town's voices together are amazing to me.

  • totally agree

  • love this song it always makes me happy everytime i hear it and it makes me want to sing along

  • I LOVVVVEEEE this song!!! xox

  • this song is good...i like it

  • i love the song its one of my favs!i would of LOVED to go to the concert!!

  • i lovee this songggggg:]

    i'm going to be singing it allll day.

  • Seriously, that man (Jake Owen) gives me chills!! He is HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!

    ORRRRR, I could go along the lines of Drop dead gorgeous, Beautiful, (the list goes on) Stunning, Astonishing, Oh, and did I mention UNBELIEVABLY, INCREDIBLY AND UNDENIABLY SEXY????? LOL! He could sing to me ANY DAY!! =D

  • This is a great song!!! I love it!!!! They sing it so great!!!!!

  • Fair enough, but the song isn't about being FROM a Northern Town. The lyrics are in reference to Tanworth-in-Arden, and English native Nick Drake, who died of an antidepressant overdose in 1974. The Dream Academy originally wrote the song as a tribute to him. They filmed the original video near Newcastle and Manchester UK, and in some small towns in western Pennsylvania. Sugarland and Little Big Town/Jake Owen redid it during their famous "Change for Change" tour, not to mention they sound great

  • actually i believe jennifer nettles is from canada, and moved to tennesse when she was a little girl can't get more northern then canada lol

  • Actually she's from Douglas GA, USA. She didn't move to Nashville til' after college. Her singing got started in college in GA.

  • However, I do agree that there are some sections of Canada that are very "northern" and very "rural." Having dated someone from a rural town in Canada, about 3 hours north of Toronto, it doesn't take long to feel like you are in a "northern town" even though there are thousands of more miles to go!!

  • yeah you can take it from someone who lives in ALASKA!

  • The song is about Life in a Northern Town in the UK, you muppets.

    Its originally by a British group.

  • They could of lived in the north for awile.. i mean they ARE on tour alot...

  • hahaha so true

  • If that's your criticism of the song I'd love to know what hickville "northern town" you live in? Maybe you should read up on what the song is about before you criticize it.

  • love this song!!!! beautiful version!!!

  • Who has the REALLY deep voice?
