Stay- Rihanna X Mikky Ekko
I had just finished out of secondary school then, in 2012, when this song was released. I had never heard of Mikky Ekko before then, and that was probably the last i heard of him. The melancholy chords show from the start of the song, the mood of the music to expect... However, this is a song that beats the expectations of the start and only gets better.
The song talks about two lovers who although wanting each other, are faced with realities of life and it's toll on their love. They both wish that things were much simpler, and they could stay together. It remains to see if they did stay together, but i think that depends on if love truly conquers all( in their case)
I hope you enjoy this here rendition of this iconic song from me and the beautiful @khaleesii :)
I have played this song with the capo on the 5th fret.
The actual song is not on the same key, and maybe not the same chords. Check it out at the bottom of this post.

One of my favourite songs from Rihanna and you guys killed it.
@khaleesii your singing gets better by the day and @almostsober you play and sound wonderful as always.
I also liked the emotions you guys put into the whole thing..
What is music without the right emotions??
Powerful duet guys.
So touched by this performance I must confess.
I love love it.❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much babes, it means a lot to me ❤️
You are always welcome
Thank you @benii
Yes emotions can be powerful, I have tried to work on that recently. @khaleesii always teases me about that, so it's hard to forget. This video was made over a month ago, so my emotions were still shit.
Lolzz
I know right????
Am sure you must have improved in the aspect of letting your emotions let.
Anyways I will be checking out for your new videos so I can know myself.
I guess I have, maybe a little…
Alright then, I look forward to your approval once again :)
Alright!!!!!
Finally, it drops after thousands of years, it felt like I was watching something new because of how long it's been 😆
Ouu, I remember, @mipiano, this is the video we were arguing about with the emotions and stuff.
Yeah, about the emotions, I see what you mean
I see what you mean sha, I'm not sure what was wrong with my face here🙁
😆 you were in deep thought, it is understandable.
I guess so, I can sleep well now😊
I see @almostsober here as someone who focused but also gave place to show emotions!! :)))
Arguing? lol
Ok, I don't know the whole story and how it was maybe in the first take but it is cool now 😎
He looks focused but at the same time, I feel like he was lost 😆 maybe that's just me or it's just because I enjoy teasing him.
I would say you are doing this 😁😁
😆 he is an easy target
🙄
Your voice together is so amazing, I have to say, and @almostsober your playing is so good.
Overall this was just so cute.
Thank you for your sweet words😊... I really did enjoy working on this with @khaleesii
It definitely looks like that.
Of course, you did, I am amazing.
Yes you are😒
😆 victory is mine.
🙄
