Back Door Slam, 'Stay'

[joeymonza3]

Every Day is A Gift . Thank You . 

[Blues71]

A very special song written by a very, very special young Man. This song was almost not released by Davy because of what it meant to him, but then he realized that it should be shared with everyone. Thank goodness he did...I have benefited from it's healing effects myself when a very close friend, the brother I never had, passed away as a result of Leukemia. I encourage everyone to share this song with the ones that are important to you in your life...Roy

[Sledulus]

If anyone has chords or tabs for this I'd greatly appreciate it.

[atsallica]

@Sledulus I came across your comment and i have uploaded a guitar pro version of the song on ultimate guitar dot com if you are interested! Cheers!

[alyssamwbc]

Such a beautiful song....There are very few songwriters out there that can write as well as Davy. Bravo!

[thebuchho]

My brother is gone, and often I wonder what we could have done differently as a family to avoid that tragic day. I think you can what if evey aspect of the day or choice that put him where he was the day he went to Heaven, But this song has made me cry because I too wish he could have stayed. Thanks for the song BDS.

[fatherronan]

Goosebumps. everytime. thats fucking raw emotion, and heart.

[ibecameamixedupzombi]

Those guys and some other few bands like Robert Randolph & Family Band are saving the word "music".

I hope they keep this outstanding work.

[Blues71]

Over a year ago, I had a chat with my good friend Davy Knowles about several things. One of the items that came up was this song "Stay". That conversation shall remain private, but it really showed me the depth of this young man that we all have come to simply call Davy. His song writing skills and his skills as a performer are truly a gift to us all. I am very glad to call him my friend.

[johnyp321]

Anyone know how to play this, I really want to learn it!!

[cfh27]

Fantastic, I don't think I have ever heard anyone sing and play, with so much emotion WOW!

[kaleighrae91]

Makes me wanna cry when I see them all up there playing such a beautiful song together... and to think I shall never set my eyes upon it live again... Good times...

[fatherronan]

im gutted to say ive only heard these guys in the last couple of weeks. and video after video, all i can say is wow. these guys are soooo good and if we're honest they're a rare species nowadays

[torgecux]

its so sad that they are all going different ways =(

[coffeybean44]

It's sad, true. But i just saw "Davy Knowles & Back Door Slam" last night and it was still AMAZING

[CuzenicLionel]

Still great!!!!! oh yes.....

[rgribbs]

I love the studio version of this as well - the 2 guitars are perfectly tuned and with such great complimentary texture.

[LSGoCards7]

Anybody know what acoustic he plays here? I love the sound.

[roosterz13]

it's an older model (martin) maybe late 50's early 60's great sound, the guitarist/ singer (DAVY KNOWELS) is on his on now, PETER FRAMPTON is producing DAVY'S solo project as I type

[bbsb300]

Great song, performance and tribute. I hope this band makes it cause they are world class;) Regards Billy ;)

[brendan040]

beautiful...

[specialk3123]

this song is a masterpiece

[rellimnomis]

brings tears to my eyes

[jjeffj008]

Old school from young men. The Funky Dr of Love has spoken.

[prsshred39]

wow, this song is incredible.. back door slam seriously has to be one of the most talented bands out there right now..

[CuzenicLionel]

really excellent......

[um2020]

They are incredible. Davy will be as good as any guitarist that has come before him when it is all said and done, IMO.

[rockinaviator]

HOLY CRAP!!!! these guys are GREAT!! I have listened to 6-8 songs on here of them and they are all excellent.Amazing talent for such young dudes.I will be looking for their cd or dvd.

[goacdc13]

[Sukoi001]

WOW, what an amazingly talented band and such a touching song. I'm so thrilled that there are young people out there as talented as these guys who still respect, and indeed enhance, older music. Great, Great music...

[emerica2343]

Yeah those guys used to have 4 people in there band until the rythm guitarest was killed in a car accident along with there other freind its very sad

[FoxyLadySimone]

I love this song!! Wish i could give it more than 5 stars

[TheDev01dOne]

ANyone know what kind of acoustic it is he plays? Looks like an it has an A on the headstock? Is it an Armstrong?

[guacamolee]

hey there,

I could be wrong, but I think that was his Avalon - that was a couple of years back tho and he mostly plays a J45 now. if you post any techie/muso questions on the Back Door Slam forum (there's a link on the website) he LOVES answering them - proper anorak, hehe ;-)

[briggzz]

@TheDev01dOne I'm thinking Alvarez?

[OmniTron1000]

a truely gripping song

[jbyoy]

This song will always remind me of my friend who died in a bike accident on the Douglas-Peel road in December 2007 . 1989-2007 .

[SeoDragon]

I'm sorry to hear that man :( They are some dangerous roads there..especially when bikes are involved. :(

[maltoka]

was this song written, because your friend died?

Are you friends with the band?

[jbyoy]

No i live on the same island that they come from , ive seen them many a time . It was written about two of their friends who died in a car accident in the south of the island

[nicola3510]

yeah i went to school with them all.. it was a really sad time but the song sums it up sooo well

[manxQT]

yup Davy wrote the song as 2 of our friends died in a car crash, one of whom was in the original line-up of BDS.

Amazing song and still makes me cry, beautiful words and sung brill by the boy Knowles.
