"Stay Together"
Song

"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 much empty symbolism. They feel that 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 January 2009, the song was #1. In addition, the song is seen as one of the best in the decade, as shown in its Top 5 placing on the Best of the 90s chart, also at RYM.
