Tulsa, OK – March 13, 2025 – Hard rock band XIII Minutes is making a powerful return with their first single under NRT Music, “Stay,” available on all streaming platforms Friday, March 14, 2025.
The release is accompanied by a deeply moving lyric video, premiering today exclusively on NewReleaseToday in partnership with HeartSupport, a non-profit organization dedicated to mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
“Stay,” composed and arranged by XIII Minutes, with lyrics by Thomas Wheat, Jerrod Cunningham, and Jamie Kucinski, is a raw and emotional plea for those struggling with suicidal thoughts to hold on. The song resonates with those who feel lost, overwhelmed, or burdened by despair, offering a reminder that their lives matter and that hope is not out of reach. “Stay” stands as a beacon of light, reinforcing the message that God’s presence prevails even in darkness and provides strength to carry on.
“Stay” delivers a poignant narrative through its lyrics, confronting the battle between despair and the will to keep going. Lines like “Should I disengage and exit the stage or stay for the end of the show?” capture the internal struggle that many face. At the same time, the bridge offers a triumphant declaration of resilience: “No you’ll, you’ll never conquer me. Watch as I see this through.” The song’s closing message echoes a biblical truth: “The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not overcome.”
By teaming up with HeartSupport, XIII Minutes emphasizes their commitment to not only creating powerful music but also fostering meaningful conversations around mental health. The band hopes that “Stay” will serve as a lifeline for listeners who need to hear that their story is far from over.
Watch the exclusive premiere of the “Stay” lyric video on NewReleaseToday and stream the single on all major music platforms starting March 14, 2025.
