Nothing More Team Up With Flyleaf’s Lacey Sturm For New Version Of “Best Times”

Nothing More have joined forces with Flyleaf’s Lacey Sturm for a new version of their song “Best Times.“ You can find a video for that track below. The original version of the song is from Nothing More‘s latest album “Spirits.“

Nothing More’s Jonny Hawkins commented:

“This song is a real special one. It’s definitely one of the most positive feel-good songs we’ve ever written and it obviously stands out on the album by being that ray of hope too. I didn’t think it could get any better, but when we thought about featuring another singer and Lacey’s name came up it was a no-brainer.

She’s been a shining light and is one of those singers that makes you feel and believe every word out of her mouth whether you agree with it or not. We knew her voice would take it over the top… and that’s exactly what she did! We couldn’t be more proud to have her collaborate with us on this and to get it out to the world for everyone to feel and embrace when you need a song to help get you through.”

Sturm added:

“I connected with Jonny‘s story about his family struggles with his mother and sister. I love the painful beauty in any art that comes from wrestling with mental health and addiction. I’ve always looked for common ground with artists who deal with suicide prevention. My own struggle against self-destruction is also a struggle to not tear my loved ones apart.

There is a perspective shift in this song. Like a suffocating cloud, the heaviness of life turns to thankfulness and even joy over what matters most. Pain and loss can turn the lights on inside us, allowing us to see the good, all the ‘Best Times,’ we couldn’t see before. I’m relieved to be reminded by this song to remember what matters most and find gratitude. I need it.”

In other news, Nothing More are also planning to livestream their April 9 set at Irving Plaza in New York City, NY. Tickets for the virtual event are available through Veeps.

Nothing More Share Piano Version Of “You Don’t Know What Love Means” Featuring Taylor Acorn

Nothing More have shared a piano version of their song “You Don’t Know What Love Means.” This version of the track features Taylor Acorn and it can be found below. The original version appears on the band’s latest album “Spirits.” Acorn commented:

“When I had first heard the original version, I instantly fell in love, so when Nothing More asked me to be a part of the piano version it was truly a no brainer. The song is so beautiful and touches on a very similar situation that I was going through in a previous relationship of mine, so it was super easy to connect with. I also love how much, at least to me, the song resembles early Evanescence, which is one of my favorite bands of all time. It’s beautiful, it’s powerful, and I hope people love it as much as I do.”

Nothing More Premiere “Best Times” Music Video

Nothing More have premiered a new video for their new song “Best Times.” This track is from the band’s newly released album “Spirits.” Jonny Hawkins commented:

“This song is a living reminder to live in the now. Often the best times of our lives escape us, unrecognized and unappreciated in the moment. It’s not until time passes that our mind reveals what our heart always knew.”
