I was obsessed with this song and video when I was a kid and I still love it to this day. My daughter is the same age I was when I first seen it and she is just as obsessed as I was. When Siobhan drops that growl it gets me every time. Love it 😍
I was in my second year of High School at the time and I remember re-enacting this video in drama class. We had to give our deepest emotions to the performance! As you said, it was HUGE back in the day and you couldn't escape it. I absolutely adored the song, even though as a 12 year old I couldn't really connect with the emotional aspect of it (adult love). But it's always been one of my favourite songs. Nice to see the younger generation starting to discover and embrace this masterpiece!
Same. I thought it was very well done. She's Death but she's just really into her job, lol. And she was a gracious loser, gotta say. I suppose she knows she'll win in the end, it's kind of her thing.
I've watched hundreds of reaction videos, including several to this song, and this one of yours is the best I've ever seen. No pretense, just you losing yourself in the story of the song/video, and pulling for the good girl to win her man back from the clutches of death. In my opinion, this was the most powerful music video ever made and I cry every time I watch it, which has been 5 times in a row today. Not only are the music and vocals filled with raw emotion, but the video is absolutely captivating. A true masterpiece!
Oh my goodness I can't believe someone's actually reacting to this🤯 I didn't think anyone else actually remembered it. Anyone I've ever asked about it looked at me like I had three heads
I remember it too, love the song, the British singer Siobhan Fahey was also part of the British pop group Bananarama in the 80s!! The other singer is Marcella Detroit, she's American, she does the lead vocals!! 😀 😀
Siobhan Fahey, was not either a vampire or the devil, she symbolized the death. The main singer on this, Marcy Levy or Marcella Detroit, as her name is today, had a several years long cooperation with Eric Clapton. She also co-wrote one of claptons biggest hit "Lay down Sally".
I love that Death gives them a slight smile as they hug, showing that Death isn't necessarily evil. Her final eye roll seems to be an "oops I lost" and she happily accepts defeat.
Marcy Levy's vocals is out of this world. Siobhan Fahey represents death. This song is about life and death, and in-between, consciousness and unconsciousness.
I went to see Marcella live in a nightclub, she pulled me to the stage and sang the entire song to me, looking into my eye. It was intense. She’s also a lovely person.
The song without "you better hope and pray...." is such a beautiful song about how u feel when u lose someone u don't want gone, but here in UK, it gets played in pub/club not one person sings till everyone sings that part! Unfortunately I think that makes people miss the beautiful lyrics of the song otherwise, bit how can u not love that part!!
My favourite story about this particular video is that she was hanging around on set waiting for most of the day for her scenes to be shot, and got so bored she found a bottle of vodka to pass the time... the result was her performance in this video! (Makes sense, when you watch it again. 😁)
I'm so glad you reacted to Shakespears Sister. Pretty much no one reacts to their music which is a shame. As a lot of people already mentioned one of the members from Shakespears Sister is Siobhan Fahey from Bananarama. I know, she looks nothing alike from her Bananarama days. To tie the link even more with Bananarama, the male model in this music video was the boyfriend of another one of the members of Bananarama and the father of their child. His name is David Scott Evans. In regards of the song, Stay remained on the #1 spot in the U.K. charts during 8 weeks and peaked to #4 on Billboard's Hot 100. At the time Siobhan had a strong dislike for the song as she felt it didn't really represent Shakespears Sister. Usually, their songs have Siobhan in lead vocals and a heavier contribution to the lyrics while Marcella performs backing vocals and focuses on playing the guitar and harmonica among other musical instruments. Stay showcased something different and this different side of the band was what made them hugely successful. They have many other cool songs and I hope someday you react to my #1 song from them, Hello (Turn Your Radio On).
Hearing this song for the first time when it came out was such an experience. I don’t know anyone who disliked it just because of that insane transition. Amazing vocal theatrics. I always wished the rock part went on longer.
Ikr I feel the same way… there is an extended version (approx 45 seconds longer) which sounds so much better. This version feels like somethings missing..
Ha ha! I was just about to request my favorite Shakespear's Sister song, "You're History." This was one of those awesome reaction videos where if you know what's going to happen, you spend the whole first half of the video waiting for KSO's reaction to Siobhan's dramatic arrival as the angel of death. Love Shakespear's Sister. Siobhan Fahey (ex-Bananarama) and Marcella Detroit are amazing.
Marcella Detroit(AKA Marcy Levy)was a member of Eric Clapton’s band in the ‘70s and sings backup on his 1978 hit single “Lay Down,Sally” and is one of the “visitors” at the end of the movie “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” as the cast and some of their friends reprise the song.
Love your reaction. Been watching you since this summer. This video and song were a total jem in the 90s. Glad to see it still getting some attention. It’s been awhile since you did Madonna, no?
The one that you said looks like a vampire is one of the 3 women in Bananarama. This song is from Shakespears Sister’s album Hormonally Yours which is pretty close to a masterpiece. It’s one of my favorite albums from the early 90’s.
Finally you're reacting to this!!! You've made my day! Please continue to react to more Shakespears Sister - You're History, Hello (Turn The Radio On), Heroine, Run Silent... so many good songs! The music video is campy and gorgeous!
Thank you for liking my diva and reviewing her, rare product of perfection Siobhan Fahey. You asked on your one video about the spelling of the name. Siobhan did not wanna confuse The Smiths song called Shakespeare's Sister...... You know that Siobhan has continued doing solo work as Shakespears Sister, Marcy was only really the backing vocals.... They split in 1993 and reuinted in 2019... They released a new video you check out... ALL THE QUEENS HORSES, where after 29 years they.... refering to Stay and their other videos. Also another cool video of theirs. When She Finds You, but also when Siobhan was solo... It's A Trip.... Someone's girl. Really an awesome artist!!!! Finally it seems the world is waking up and you helping thank you ... from South Africa xxx Siobhan married Dave Stewart from Eurythmics in 1988 after leaving Bananarama and Richard Feldman a famous producer lived in LA opposite her and Dave. He introduced Marcella Detroit and Siobhan Fahey.
I can't believe this one is showing up on reaction videos! I love this song - such a strange mix of oddity, darkness, and beauty! I loved you're face once the second singer showed up - it pretty much mirrored my reaction nearly 30 years ago!
As a kid I absolutely hated this record. As a 43 year old man, I can absolutely appreciate how brilliant this song is, great production, lyrics and vocals on point.
A) I've never had this song off my playlist since it came out. It's on my phone right now. B) I always assumed that other woman was Death. Like, the Grim Reaper. That's why she smiles and rolls her eyes as she leaves. She's let him 'Stay' for now, but she'll eventually get them both later.
Siobhan Fahey as Death (?), camping it up, makes me laugh everytime😅. Siobhan was a member of Bananarama, prior to joining Shakespear's Sister. It's worth checking out some of their hits, especially Cruel Summer - particularly if you're a Karate Kid or Cobra Kai fan😁
Love Shakespeare’s Sister. They just got back together about 2 years ago after not being able to work together for close to 20 years back when this song came out. You should check out their newest video “All The Queens Horses”. It’s a great song and a fun video
I was 15 when Shakespear's Sister came along and they played a massive part of my rebellious teenager phase! They just spoke to my soul. Please react to more of them!
I listened to this song so much when it came out. This video of Death descending - "you better hope and pray you make it back to your own world..." Wow - and I still listen to Shakespeare's Sister, now - they had a reunion and their music is still haunting and wild and beautiful. This song does still bring the feelz... By the way - these ladies did get back together - they are both in their 60's and came out with a CD/MV in 2019 - Called - All the Queens Horses & When she finds you... It talks about them getting back together and forgiving each other...
The song is about the idea that love can conquer all even death, the dark figure is death wanting to take his soul and that emotional tug of war. Earned a new subscriber :)
Remembering songs like this and the actual videos is very nostalgic, but seeing a new viewer actually getting the feels of the song and even the emotional catch from the video is pretty amazing too. Really enjoyed your reaction video and wish you success.
Oh, that was before I discovered Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush for myself. After the end of my long-playing records, my third CD ever. The music of Shakespeare's Sister still means a lot to me.
2:27 The change of the song is the best part. Your reaction. :D Siobhan Fahey was so very wonderful, amazing and beautiful as death in this video. :) It doesn't matter if she was very drunk when filming this video, she still gave a fantastic performance. ;)
What you were saying about talking to those in a comatose state giving them words of affirmation even though they "seem" unresponsive brings back memories of when my brother Andy (who was a paraplegic from a car accident on his 21st birthday) went into a diabetic coma (no one knew he had diabetes) and lay in hospital for a week hooked up to machines keeping him alive. Myself & his carer stayed at the hospital 24/7 holding his hand, playing his fav Beatles music and....talking to him. I got so angry though when a nurse said. "Don't bother, he can't hear you" ! Unfortunately, he passed away (age 50) as his body began to shut down but this song brings back so many positive memories for me. It is so hauntingly beautiful ! Thankyou KSO !!
This was one of my sung performance pieces for my GCSE music exams at 17. It was the day my mum was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I was so nervous. My 3 pieces were very different from each other. For this song, creating 2 different styles of voice was tricky. I see it as the messenger for the afterlife trying to take him, while his partner is begging him to stay.
Yep, as everyone says the black space witch or whatever you can call that character is Siobhan Farhey of Bananarama. You're History and I Don't Care are great tracks from them too.
And one more thing, the band disbanded in early 1993, only under a year after this song and video came out.. Sad, but true. But on a lighter note, here is Siobhan with her Bananarama girls performing this very song from their 2017 tour. It's still beautiful and touching
Siobhan Fahey was a Pioneer as the Co Founder of Banarama who in 1985 went to Number One in the US with their Version of Shocking Blue's Venus. They were the First Girlband to go Number One from The UK and the "Only" Girlband from the UK to do American Bandstand. They kicked the door open for every single Girlband that came after them from The Spice Girls, Misteeq, The All Saints, The Sugababes & Girls Aloud.
Someone else mentioned "All the Queen's Horses". That is one to definitely check out. Siobhan and Marcy had a bad breakup when the duo split up in the 90s. A couple of years ago they got back together to tour and make new music. AtQH is a great song and the video for it references the " Stay" video.
I am so, so glad I found your channel. The first time I heard this song I was in 6th grade. It was during an anti-drug skit some organization put on. There was a boy and girl and other kids came on the stage with the names of drugs taped to their shirts, and it more or less mimicked the right in this video. The "drugs" danced around the boy as the girl tried fighting them of. It was SO cheesy. And then, 15 years later, I heard the song after I visited my mom at a care facility - she was dying of Alzheimer's. And I just broke down. Same song, totally different meaning. That's what timeless songs do - they carry you throughout your entire life, through all the joy and pain experienced. This is one of the best pop ballads of all time, hands down.
This song was a colossal hit in the UK in '92. Eight weeks at No.1! Timeless classic too. Thanks for another great reaction!
I’m 36 now and this video burned into my retina as an eight year old first frame to last.
Yeh i remember it was one of those songs that you heard playing literally everywhere
I was obsessed with this song and video when I was a kid and I still love it to this day. My daughter is the same age I was when I first seen it and she is just as obsessed as I was. When Siobhan drops that growl it gets me every time. Love it 😍
I remember this, didn't realise it was 8 weeks though. I was 13 years old 😍

The eye-roll she does towards the end, that always kills me.
And the little look before that. Shame, pitiful mortals.
it's because she's death and death always wins in the end. it was a look to say as if yea whatever enjoy your fleeting moments I'll see u in 40 years
me to!
I had dreams about Siobhan's eye roll...
Always made me think:
"Pfft, alright... bloody drama-queen..." :D
I always took it that the Dark Girl was Death coming to claim him.
I agree
You are correct.
Same. I thought it was very well done. She's Death but she's just really into her job, lol. And she was a gracious loser, gotta say. I suppose she knows she'll win in the end, it's kind of her thing.
Indeed.
@@BeeWhistler yeah, death was like: see ya in a few years for round 2^^
you can win a battle, but death wins the war. always!

It's on my Ipod :D has been from the day I got it
Same 💕
I remember it too, love the song, the British singer Siobhan Fahey was also part of the British pop group Bananarama in the 80s!! The other singer is Marcella Detroit, she's American, she does the lead vocals!! 😀 😀
So many people remember this song/video. Awesome.
Hard to believe this song is nearly 30 years old. Love Shakespeare’s sister.
My God Carole, has it really been 30 years!!
@@thomassmith2227 I know. I don’t know where the time goes
Oof making me feel old now and I'm only 35!
@@mnomadvfx lol same here. I’m 47
Dammit, now I feel old :)
Siobhan Fahey, was not either a vampire or the devil, she symbolized the death. The main singer on this, Marcy Levy or Marcella Detroit, as her name is today, had a several years long cooperation with Eric Clapton. She also co-wrote one of claptons biggest hit "Lay down Sally".
Favorite Clapton song.
Lol, the expression on your face when the reaper shows itself. Priceless.
I love that Death gives them a slight smile as they hug, showing that Death isn't necessarily evil. Her final eye roll seems to be an "oops I lost" and she happily accepts defeat.
Nah, it's because she knows she'll win in the end
For now... :D
When music videos were still music videos that represented the meaning of the song. Your reaction showed that.
This tune still crushes it! It grabs your heart & squeezes until there is no blood left in it. A true classic of the early 90's.
If you get a chance, look at the French and Saunders parody.
I love that Siobhan Fahey is just like "Yeah, whatever" at the end.
I was staggered by the F&S version :D
ALSO it always amazes me that Siobhan was/is best known for being in Bananarama :D...pretty much sums up my youth tbh :D
Is there a link for that? Can't find a video on TH-cam.
@@sidhu7032 if you go through Google video search, i think it's on daily motion or something
yeah man, forgot that one, they did so many good parodies...proper funny
Marcy Levy's vocals is out of this world. Siobhan Fahey represents death. This song is about life and death, and in-between, consciousness and unconsciousness.
AKA Marcella Detroit.
@@dinger40 In this band yeah - she is known by Marcy Levy on the end credit song for Short Circuit "Come And Follow Me".
She also co wrote and sang backup on Lay Down Sally with Eric Clapton.
Marcella Detroit
Siobhan is the Angel of Death coming to take him, Marcella saying NO your not havung him, he is STAYing with me
Loved your reaction. I bought this on vinyl when it was released. It's a classic and timeless. ❤
the Vampire girl or Death is one of the girls from Bananarama which you did a reaction to .....Cruel Summer and Venus....: )
Great song. My favorite by them is "Hello (Turn Your Radio On)."
Yes! Great song!
Same here. Love that song.
I'm with you fella what a tune
"Catwoman on the Moon" is also weirdly catchy.
That whole album is awesome. Hormonally Yours 👍
I went to see Marcella live in a nightclub, she pulled me to the stage and sang the entire song to me, looking into my eye. It was intense. She’s also a lovely person.
This song always makes me cry for some reason. That piano line during the bridge followed by Marcella's scream... So powerful.
I first saw this in the early 1990s! I love this song!🎉😊
One of the greatest vocal performances of all time.
I always forget just how fantastic the vocals are on this
The song without "you better hope and pray...." is such a beautiful song about how u feel when u lose someone u don't want gone, but here in UK, it gets played in pub/club not one person sings till everyone sings that part! Unfortunately I think that makes people miss the beautiful lyrics of the song otherwise, bit how can u not love that part!!
I'm so pleased someone actually reacted to this. It's one of my all time favourites. Your reaction when Siobhan Fahey turned up made me smile.
That song makes my eyes water. It’s incredibly beautiful.
Siobhan Fahey is mad as a hatter and she stood out in this duo as well as Bananarama.
She still looks fantastic at 60-plus!
Yep..mad as a box of frogs
My favourite story about this particular video is that she was hanging around on set waiting for most of the day for her scenes to be shot, and got so bored she found a bottle of vodka to pass the time... the result was her performance in this video! (Makes sense, when you watch it again. 😁)

Marcella Detroit was almost 40 years old when this was released. And she's still performing it today.
Great reaction to this epic song - you got it girl - thank you for this !
You’re such a sweetheart, love watching your totally uncynical reactions.
Hearing this song for the first time when it came out was such an experience. I don’t know anyone who disliked it just because of that insane transition. Amazing vocal theatrics. I always wished the rock part went on longer.
Ikr I feel the same way… there is an extended version (approx 45 seconds longer) which sounds so much better. This version feels like somethings missing..
The most fascinating bridge segment to a pop song, ever.
I remember loving this song when I was in primary school. In fact, everyone loved it. Cuz it's a great song.
Same sam. Its ingrained in the memory
This was one of my favorite songs as a kid. The video scared the bejesus out of me and warmed my heart all at the same time. Couldn't get enough.
🤍🖤
KSO. I have been waiting and waiting for you to play this. One of my favourite songs of all time,
Love the reaction. My sisters and i were obsessed with this song when we were wee! Loved Siobhan especially!
Siobhan Fahey was also married to Dave Stewart from 1987-1996. He was in the band duo Eurythmics with Annie Lennox who I think you have reacted to.
It's simply the best that ever happened in music ✨
Ha ha! I was just about to request my favorite Shakespear's Sister song, "You're History." This was one of those awesome reaction videos where if you know what's going to happen, you spend the whole first half of the video waiting for KSO's reaction to Siobhan's dramatic arrival as the angel of death.

oh the video to You're History is SO MUCH FUN, it's so cheesy and bits of it always makes me laugh. I loved them from the minute I saw it lol

I'm 41 years old and yeah same 🤫😮

Pretty close? It IS a masterpiece! Not a bad song on the album, fantastic production work, everything fits together flawlessly.
Marcella is so incredibly talented she cam also sing opera amazingly
Finally you're reacting to this!!! You've made my day! Please continue to react to more Shakespears Sister - You're History, Hello (Turn The Radio On), Heroine, Run Silent... so many good songs! The music video is campy and gorgeous!
She's like the grim reaper trying to take him while she fights for his life .love it one of the best videos ever made so much talent
This song is great... the second “scary”’singer is Siobhan from Bananarama!
Wow, this is crazy, I literally was thinking about this song this morning randomly. Haven't thought about it in YEARS.

I love this song and I loved your reaction. You seem quite genuine.
Love Shakespeare’s Sister. They just got back together about 2 years ago after not being able to work together for close to 20 years back when this song came out. You should check out their newest video “All The Queens Horses”. It’s a great song and a fun video
"Not being able to " , why wouldn't they be able to work together? Contracts ? Family? Why ?
I was 15 when Shakespear's Sister came along and they played a massive part of my rebellious teenager phase! They just spoke to my soul. Please react to more of them!
you GOTTA listen to more of their songs/music videos, they're a great band.
One of my favourite songs!!! I actually low key swiped my moms album when I was a teenager because I loved their music so much haha
I listened to this song so much when it came out. This video of Death descending - "you better hope and pray you make it back to your own world..." Wow - and I still listen to Shakespeare's Sister, now - they had a reunion and their music is still haunting and wild and beautiful. This song does still bring the feelz...
By the way - these ladies did get back together - they are both in their 60's and came out with a CD/MV in 2019 - Called - All the Queens Horses & When she finds you... It talks about them getting back together and forgiving each other...
I had this album on CASSETTE when it came out... And damned near wore it out.
She is an angel of death... he's in a coma. His lover uses love to keep him from dying...
As Death goes back up the stairs her demeanor says “You can stay for now, but I’ll get ya later.”
I was lucky enough to see them to do this in '92. Mind blowing show. I still have the album.
I grew up listening to this song because my mum always played it haha. So glad more people are reacting to it
Marcello has the voice of a Angel.
Marcella - and yes I agree! She did an amazing solo hit too called "I Believe" :)
The song is about the idea that love can conquer all even death, the dark figure is death wanting to take his soul and that emotional tug of war. Earned a new subscriber :)
Thank you so much for doin this. This is one of my all time favs. My mum loved this song. There are more by them
"Hello (Turn Your Radio On)" is wonderful! A great revelation for me.
I love that song
I love that eye roll from the "Death" character, literally says "I'll see you again in 40 years for round 2, I'll win that one"
Remembering songs like this and the actual videos is very nostalgic, but seeing a new viewer actually getting the feels of the song and even the emotional catch from the video is pretty amazing too. Really enjoyed your reaction video and wish you success.
I was a kid when this came out. So happy got to see them perform late in 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland. Dreams do come true.
Thank you for reacting to this - I have been trying to remember the name of this band for years.
Oh, that was before I discovered Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush for myself. After the end of my long-playing records, my third CD ever. The music of Shakespeare's Sister still means a lot to me.
A true timeless classic!!
U cant go wrong with a 90's classic 👌😁

i love how u enjoy the songs and dont keep pauseing ur are the best thanks sweetie xx
In an interview, one of the band members admitted that the set was inspired by the film version of 'Slaughterhouse-Five'.
I can't believe you reacted to this song! I didn't even know it until about 5 years ago and have loved it since.
I was waiting for the bit where Siobhan came out and the song shifts to see your reaction and it didn't disappoint 😂
hehe, loved the reaction, you were fighting the darkness off yourself.
One of my favorite songs and videos. I had the same reaction when I first saw it and I still do every time. Thanks for the review. Peace.
The vampire girl of death is Siobanh Fahey from Bananarama
May I request "Here's Where The Story Ends" by The SUNDAYS? Would love to see your reaction! xoxo
The version by TinTinOut is a bit better - but yes good song.
@@MrDslacker Uh no, not only is the vocal mixed too "present" but the vocals have nothing special to 'em.
@@RumourdProd As with everything on the intertubes I stated an opinion, not a fact... I prefer TinTinOut's version... OK.
@@MrDslacker As with everything and everyone on the internet, I gave you pushback on your opinion. Live with it.
This was one of my sung performance pieces for my GCSE music exams at 17. It was the day my mum was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I was so nervous. My 3 pieces were very different from each other. For this song, creating 2 different styles of voice was tricky.
I see it as the messenger for the afterlife trying to take him, while his partner is begging him to stay.
Yep, as everyone says the black space witch or whatever you can call that character is Siobhan Farhey of Bananarama.
You're History and I Don't Care are great tracks from them too.
Really appreciate your reaction to this song. I was 5 years old when it released and I was obsessed!
That video was 3-4 minutes long , and it has a better storyline than most movies 😂😂😂
True fact that ;-)
I love Shakespeare's sister , fantastic, play some more , am glad somebody's at last is playing their vids at Last .
Hey @sincerely, K.S.O. THIS IS WHAT MUSIC AND MUSIC VIDEOS SHOULD BRING OUT IN US!
And one more thing, the band disbanded in early 1993, only under a year after this song and video came out.. Sad, but true.
But on a lighter note, here is Siobhan with her Bananarama girls performing this very song from their 2017 tour. It's still beautiful and touching
Siobhan Fahey was a Pioneer as the Co Founder of Banarama who in 1985 went to Number One in the US with their Version of Shocking Blue's Venus. They were the First Girlband to go Number One from The UK and the "Only" Girlband from the UK to do American Bandstand. They kicked the door open for every single Girlband that came after them from The Spice Girls, Misteeq, The All Saints, The Sugababes & Girls Aloud.
Love your reaction!! And love this song!
This came out when I was a little girl and I SO wanted to be Siobhan Fahey's character in this video - so cool!
Someone else mentioned "All the Queen's Horses". That is one to definitely check out. Siobhan and Marcy had a bad breakup when the duo split up in the 90s. A couple of years ago they got back together to tour and make new music. AtQH is a great song and the video for it references the " Stay" video.
I am so, so glad I found your channel. The first time I heard this song I was in 6th grade. It was during an anti-drug skit some organization put on. There was a boy and girl and other kids came on the stage with the names of drugs taped to their shirts, and it more or less mimicked the right in this video. The "drugs" danced around the boy as the girl tried fighting them of. It was SO cheesy. And then, 15 years later, I heard the song after I visited my mom at a care facility - she was dying of Alzheimer's. And I just broke down. Same song, totally different meaning. That's what timeless songs do - they carry you throughout your entire life, through all the joy and pain experienced. This is one of the best pop ballads of all time, hands down.
