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 icon song from me and the beautiful @khaleesii :)

I have played this song with the capo on the 5th fret.
