Lisa Loeb – Stay (I Missed You) (1994)
Directed by: Ethan Hawke
Lisa Loeb’s “Stay (I Missed You)” is a poignant alternative pop ballad that captured the hearts of listeners in the mid-1990s. Released on May 17, 1994, the song gained prominence after being featured in the film *Reality Bites*, thanks to Loeb’s friend Ethan Hawke, who also directed its minimalist, one-take music video. Remarkably, the track soared to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making Loeb the first unsigned artist to achieve this feat. The song’s introspective lyrics and Loeb’s emotive delivery resonated deeply, solidifying its place as a defining anthem of the era.
