"Stay Together" is a non-album single by Suede, released on February 14, 1994 on Nude Records. It is the last single released while guitarist Bernard Butler was in the band, though subsequent singles from Dog Man Star feature his music. Oddly enough, although lead singer Brett Anderson considers the single and the video that accompanies it, the worst the band has released, it is tied with "Trash" as the highest charting single the band has released (reaching number 3).
The band's view of the video, directed by Jon Klein, is that it features too many empty symbolisms. Parts featuring Bernard hanging upside down, playing his guitar, as well as Brett gagged, are particularly misplaced considering the song's tone.
The song is generally considered one of the band's best songs; this is proven by its performance on the Rate Your Music Best of 1994 charts where the song is usually found in the Top 5 placings. As of June 2007, the song was #4. In addition, the song is seen as one of the best in the decade, as shown in its Top 20 placing on the Best of the 90s chart, also at RYM.
"Together" is a song from the 1960s by American singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson. Nilsson was interested in meeting British girl singer Sandie Shaw at the time and eventually she was persuaded to go and meet him in New York where he asked her to do her own recording of his song. Her version was released as a single in 1968 and although it is a favourite amongst her fans, it failed to make an impact on the chart. Shaw herself feels that the song always belonged to Nilsson, and that her version did not improve the song in any way.
"Together" is a 1928 popular song with music by Ray Henderson and lyrics by Buddy G. DeSylva and Lew Brown. The most popular 1928 recording of the song, by Paul Whiteman, was a #1 hit.
The song was included in a 1944 movie, Since You Went Away. This gave rise to a revival of the song, and it was recorded by Dick Haymes and Helen Forrest in a duet. Their recording was released by Decca Records as catalog number 23349. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on October 5, 1944 and lasted 10 weeks on the chart, peaking at #3. This recording was paired on a single with "It Had to Be You," a #4 hit, producing a big two-sided hit.
The song was revived again by Connie Francis in 1961. Thiis recording was released by MGM Records as catalog number 13019, and it first reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart on July 3, 1961, lasting 9 weeks and peaking at #6 on the chart .
"Together (Wherever We Go)" is a song, now considered a standard, with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, written for the musical play Gypsy in 1959.
