  • Barbara Hudspeth from Florida were those your real life spouses in the video of Need You now or stand ins
  • Soledad from LimaMe recuerda a Torn de Natalie Imbruglia (y si lo se, la versión original es de Ednaswap) El final de Torn se parece mucho a la melodía de Need you now ... también me recuerda a Eye in the Sky de APP ... pero me encanta la voz de Charles Kelley.
  • Soledad from LimaIt reminds me of Torn by Natalie Imbruglia (yes, I know, the original versión is by Ednaswap) the melody at the end of the song ... it reminds me Eye in the sky ... but I love Charles Kelley's voice.
  • Richard from Florida, UsaJim in Hammond, In .... you have never heard Eye in the Sky if you think this is a ripoff of it.
    Best line, IMO ... "Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all." ... meaning, even hurting over someone is better than feeling nothing at all over them being gone.
  • Edward from Foster City, MiNeed You Now is a ripoff of Eye In The Sky?! That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. It's a great song, very heartfelt and meaningful. My favorite line is, I wonder if I ever cross your mind, for me it happens all the time. I love the video too. I've just never understood what the balloon at the beginning and the end is supposed to mean. Anybody have any ideas?
  • Jim from Hammond, Inthis song is a ripoff of eye in the sky by the alan parsons project just a few additions
  • Amy from Houston, TxI flat-out love this song. I've probably heard it a million times on radio, live on awards show telecasts, on CD, on my iPod, in the video, you name it. And yet, I still can't get enough of it. Who cares what Rolling Stone and other so-called music critics say? This is one of the best - if not THE best - song in music history. End of story!
  • Camille from Toronto, OhThis song grew on me. Maybe because it was played constantly! But what I think takes this song over the top is the part when, for the last time in the song Hillary Scott starts to sing "It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone & I need you now". Her voice becomes so yearning, pleading, begging for some kind of emotional release. I even think the first couple of those notes are sung with no musical accompaniment which lends to the desperation in her voice. Yes, it's that desperation that she puts into the feeling of the song that the masses of people are really relating to. This group nailed it.
  • Jenni from Tampa, FlI thought it was hilarious when I heard a DJ accidently refer to this song as a "Booty Call", I called the station to let him know it was really about "Drunk Dialing". His co-host couldn't stop laughing at the mixup of terms :)
  • Michelle from Lubbock, TxOMG...I have listened to this song a million times, and watched the video, a thousand times!I love this song, so much! BUT...I just noticed for the first time that in the Video, he is wearing a wedding ring and she is not! Is there a hidden message here, to the meaning of this song??? Hmmm...?
  • Craig from Manitowoc, WiAwesome song. After this song played on the radio, I had to run to the store and pick up the CD. This song has lots of meaning and should be listened to with that special someone.
  • Theresa from Flomot, Txexcellent song! my husband never listens to the songs I like,I heard him walking around the house singing this song!I have it as my ringtone on my phone,he wants it too!! YEAH!!!!
  • Breanna from Henderson, NvThis song is so great. I love hearing it any time of day. It's so wonderful.
  • Mike from Pittsburg Kansas, KsThis song sticks. This song carries, simplicity,and complex, like fine wine. It reaches recesses of the heart. It is a never ending truly romantic love song. Forget the criticisms of the critics. Forget all that isn't included in The Song.
  • Lilly from Sykesville, Mdyou still need that person ^
