Hey guys! Sean Magee here. I've been busy making music and posting them to other platforms! If you're interested in following my music and exciting releases, follow me on IG at instagram.com/seanmageemusic/ and Spotify at open.spotify.com/artist/6RLneUOeSrvfq7xhssdR5j?si=pAXMi-5rRVCQShuNvly4IQ
There ain't no easy way out! Petty said it and you did a great job laying it over the song that is telling the nation it's easiest just to give up and give in! FIGHT FOR LOVE! IT'S WORTH IT! Great Job!
I absolutely love your piano fills and riffs. Masterful placement and phrasing. As soon as I heard this song all I could think was Tom Petty. Great job.
That was awesome! Thank you so much! I was just walking through the store singing "Stay with me" when I got to the chorus and started singing Petty automagically... so it's sweet to get to hear it outside of my head. And without me singing it... lol
You nailed this brother!!! Fantastic! I was just commenting to a friend about the parallels of these two songs. You made them sound even better than I could hear them in my head.
I just heard "Stay With Me" on the radio and realized it brought "I Won't Back Down" to my mind. Obviously I'm not the only one. I must have noticed this years ago but had forgotten about it.
Sean - any thanks come from your fans - your an outstanding musician and its always a great pleasure to hear your latest compositions. Keep up the outstanding work. Great job!
"Your camera guy should try working without the unicyle". That is the funniest shit I ever read. I literally couldn't stop laughing. Great image and so true!
Sean This is an amazing mix and I love music like many other people in the world, but truly this is one of my favorite songs of all time. thanks for the mix and creating music to make the world happier! -Mike smith NJ-
incredible! i was just looking for a sample of both songs. never thought this was what i would find! extremely well done! makes me wish i still knew how to play piano!
@@SeanMageeMusic oh yes! Had to say something for this work of art! I’m sending motivation and strength for you to keep pushing on creating your music and posting it! P
LOVE THIS! Well done. Stay With Me is indeed a beautiful song, with some fully original moments in it, but I would hope that the writer (Sam Smith, I presume) will acknowledge that the chorus is nearly an exact duplicate of Tom Petty's classic. That's a pretty important and recognizable part of a song to copy. If all were fair in this world, Mr. Petty would be seeing at least a portion of the royalties generated from Stay With Me, which is now a HUGE hit. Hey, even the late great George Harrison had to fork a bunch of money over to the creators of He's So Fine, since the chorus to his My Sweet Lord was so similar. If a BEATLE can be held to account for this sort of copying (deliberate or otherwise), then so should Sam Smith. Again, I actually really like Mr. Smith's song. I just think what's fair is fair. Tom Petty wrote that catchy melody long before Sam Smith, and should therefore be compensated appropriately.
I don't know if you've been following the recent story, but Tom Petty and Sam Smith actually just came to an agreement that Tom and his original songwriter will make a 12.5% royalty off of "Stay With Me."
Great arrangement man. You got some sick piano chops, and a great sense of melody. The production works fantastically. Keep it up!! And remember, haters gonna hate.
really excited because with this whole tom petty and sam smith debate, your video is going to get so many views, meaning you'll get subscribers because people will see how talented you are!
Dude I freaking love this. I'd always heard TP also, and I was so glad to see someone had mashed them together. If you got this on itunes, I'd figure out what my password for it is and buy it...
Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it. Can't put it on iTunes cause it's not my song, but I'll throw it up on www.soundcloud.com/seanmageemusic and you can download it there for free. Also, i'm lovin the username
I've enjoyed your cover/mashup of these songs for several years, and just now read the description and noticed that it was filmed in Elon, which is only about a mile from my home. It really is a small world sometimes.
you've really showcased the similarities of the two. plus great performance! plus, won't back down is the far better version. for ppl saying it's similar chord progression, get a grip the melodies are identical!
It's interesting how some people can't notice the similarities between the two songs. When i first heard "Stay with me" i knew right away it was similar to another older song, but i was having trouble putting my finger on it, then i finally realized it was Tom Petty's "Won't back down". I sang Tom's lyrics to Sam's version and it aligned perfectly
Hey aren't you the guy who dropped his straw in that show wwyd? Anyways I really like your cover :)) I'm really late though..this was uploaded 4 years ago ;-; cri cri
You got your news mixed up. www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/tom-petty-addresses-sam-smiths-songwriting-snafu-the-word-lawsuit-was-never-even-said/ar-AA8J8nk?ocid=ansET11
Sean -you got a good voice and fine piano skills -but how did you keep a straight face knowing that Smith was copying Tom Petty? I don't know if Smith did it deliberately or subconsciously -but I find it hard to believe he wasn't "inspired" by "Won't Back Down".
I'd never heard Stay with Me until I saw the Mike Myers Kim Jong Un Dr. Evil cold open just now. I immediately heard Won't Back Down and Google led me to you. I hope this guy experiences the same fate as Robin Thicke.
I disagree with matey below their is nothing better than those big bottom end notes coming through.i think recording levels are fine.you are a wonderful talent
From one musician to another... Sean Magee , go back into your recording file, and lower the levels of the piano... Trust me. The music overpowers your voices throughout, and many people take this as your voice being "weak", but your levels are just off. Friendly tip.. Hope to hear this with the levels corrected.

FIGHT FOR LOVE! IT'S WORTH IT!
Great Job!
I'm glad to finally hear the mash up somewhere other than in my own head. :-). Very talented thanks for sharing!
I know right?! I couldn't believe it when I first heard "Stay With Me." I can't sing that chorus without shifting into some good ol' Thomas Petty.
i definitely heard "I won't back down" in it when i was listening to it properly for the first time properly today, glad others heard it too
Dude plays with feeling.
Remember us when you are huge because you will be!!!! Keep pushing.
I absolutely love your piano fills and riffs. Masterful placement and phrasing.
As soon as I heard this song all I could think was Tom Petty. Great job.
Thanks a bunch Kenny -- glad you liked it
Awesome piano work and smooth unique voice tenor voice. You have serious talent. Keep at it!
That was awesome!
Thank you so much! I was just walking through the store singing "Stay with me" when I got to the chorus and started singing Petty automagically... so it's sweet to get to hear it outside of my head.
And without me singing it... lol
Hi Sean, love what you did. I have collected them all. Warmest hello from Surabaya, Jawa Timur. Indonesia.
You nailed this brother!!! Fantastic! I was just commenting to a friend about the parallels of these two songs. You made them sound even better than I could hear them in my head.
Thanks a bunch! Yeah I can't listen to one without hearing the other anymore, its kind of annoying haha
best version I've heard... of either song... very nice
Creative way to mash those songs together. Awesome job.
Every time I hear "Stay With Me" I get "I Won't Back Down" stuck in my head for the rest of the day..
Chills, dude. This is REALLY good. Well done.
great performance, beautiful voice
The sickest mash up I ever heard!!! Keep it up..
Im so glad it wasnt just me who thought this. This is beautifully done. Lovely piano riffs too. Thanks so much for thos video!
Beautiful! I love to listen to you play the piano, and your voice is like candy to the ears....very nice...
Great video Sean!! Can't wait for the next!
I just heard "Stay With Me" on the radio and realized it brought "I Won't Back Down" to my mind. Obviously I'm not the only one. I must have noticed this years ago but had forgotten about it.
Amazing cover!!!!! Please keep on making more great music!:)
this is so great! watched it multiple times on repeat! Please put this on itunes...we would buy it right away!
They played your song on the radio yesterday. ESPNLA 710 - Mason and Ireland. The hosts liked it and mentioned your name.
Great mix, first time i heard stay with me i started to sing tom petty and i never knew why until now
so well done
This is the absolute best! I'm so happy this exists!
Sean - any thanks come from your fans - your an outstanding musician and its always a great pleasure to hear your latest compositions. Keep up the outstanding work. Great job!
I'm so glad you've done this. I kept hearing Tom Petty every time I heard Sam Smith's song. You've earned another subscriber..
I won’t back down
Ok. I thought I was the only one who noticed; and I said so on a tweet. THEN I saw this. Thank YOU I'm not alone.
Very nice! Your voice is way more pleasant to listen to than Sam Smith's too.
Your camera guy should try working without the unicyle, though.
LOL
Lmao!!!
LOL
Cameraman on a unicycle? Ha! As a video pro, never heard that one before, but it is so true.
"Your camera guy should try working without the unicyle". That is the funniest shit I ever read. I literally couldn't stop laughing. Great image and so true!
why so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sean deserves more subs
wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sean This is an amazing mix and I love music like many other people in the world, but truly this is one of my favorite songs of all time. thanks for the mix and creating music to make the world happier!
-Mike smith NJ-
Love this mashup! You're a talented fella'. This and the Pompeii/Let Her Go Mashup, I've listened to both way too many times. Keep these coming.
Holy crap. Guess I've found my new favourite singer/song writer
really excellent mash-up. you sound great.
I was searching for Sam Smith breaking into I Won't Back Down in a live performance but found this instead. Love it.
This is perfect. I love the piano, and your voice
This is awesome. And this similarity is the first thing I thought of when I heard Stay With Me for the first time too ha!
Brilliant and beautifully execuited.
incredible! i was just looking for a sample of both songs. never thought this was what i would find! extremely well done! makes me wish i still knew how to play piano!
Beautiful ! Great mash up. great everythingI'm a drummer, and i noticed it the first time i heard it.
Brilliant!
Ah! I was just thinking that those songs are so similar!
Good work! Keep creating!
Love this!!! Perfect and amazing :)
I like your You Tube rendition than either "Stay With Me" or "Won't Back Down" - nice blend and great care of both songs. Nice Keyboards.
This is the best thing I’ve ever heard! I love it so much! Really well done!
Thanks for the kind words!

***** It's not a sample.
John Lucas
They won't admit it, but it's obviously a melody sample
So should 93% of todays pop songs. most of them use use the same chord progression
I don't know if you've been following the recent story, but Tom Petty and Sam Smith actually just came to an agreement that Tom and his original songwriter will make a 12.5% royalty off of "Stay With Me."
Breezy Lynne ***** and now WhoSampled is actually acknowledging it.
Omegeddon John Lucas TOLD YOU SO. XD
Great arrangement man. You got some sick piano chops, and a great sense of melody. The production works fantastically. Keep it up!!
And remember, haters gonna hate.
Great dude i loved it !!!
So cool!
This is brilliant!
really excited because with this whole tom petty and sam smith debate, your video is going to get so many views, meaning you'll get subscribers because people will see how talented you are!
That was awesome! You're very talented. And it seems clear the songs are similar. Glad the two artists settled it all amicably, though.
Really great smash up! love that you combined the choruses instead of just subbing the chorus with sam smith lyrics
Enjoyed your mashup! The two songs are very similar, but it works nicely still! :)
Really good, brother. I totally hear it now.
This is Great dude!
Nice work!
This is fantastic! :-)))
Love your voice!
Jeez bro, these are do good
Awesome! :D
I listened to yours again its really good. Im trying to figure out how u use those different angles..
Nice cover

The best of both songs here. I never noticed the similarities in the chords. Perfection here. Bravo
In the chords? and the melody, and the structure, and the...
Kevin Monsour what I was thinking. The first time I heard Stay With Me, I knew it was stolen from Tom Petty.
So good
Lovely
Talented fella

Great job. Do you mind saying what compression (plugin) you used on your vocals? Very nice...
Dangit! You beat me to it. Though I was just gonna put Tom Petty over the "Stay With Me" music.
I thought the same thing--Stay with Me sounds so similar to I Won't Back Down!
When I first heard Sam, I thought it was a remake of an older song, then I realized it was Tom Petty slowed down. Good to know I am not the only one.

Sean has way more talent than Sam Smith. Nice piano playing. Why don't we see or hear more true talent these days. It's out there.
Tom did win a law suit against Sam ripping him off!
Hey aren't you the guy who dropped his straw in that show wwyd? Anyways I really like your cover :)) I'm really late though..this was uploaded 4 years ago ;-; cri cri
Toby Flenderson?
Stay with me = $$$ for Tom
At 1:30 what we see is him playing an E major chord but what we hear is D major.
Ah, the joy of noticing things that a non-musician wouldn't notice.
cool
HI EVERYONE, i like so mutch!!!!!!!!WOW,WOW,WOW
Awesome! - Also, how does it feel to know you're probably a major component in the fact that sam cook is being sued right now? =p

Tom Petty noticed the similarity too. And now he's getting royalties from Stay with Me...
I see what you did there.
Sean
-you got a good voice and fine piano skills
-but how did you keep a straight face knowing that Smith was copying Tom Petty?
I don't know if Smith did it deliberately or subconsciously
-but I find it hard to believe he wasn't "inspired" by "Won't Back Down".
Nice chops! You should be recognized instead of the rip off artist SS.
I'd never heard Stay with Me until I saw the Mike Myers Kim Jong Un Dr. Evil cold open just now. I immediately heard Won't Back Down and Google led me to you.
I hope this guy experiences the same fate as Robin Thicke.
Is that a man singing?
I disagree with matey below their is nothing better than those big bottom end notes coming through.i think recording levels are fine.you are a wonderful talent
