I won't compare Rihanna's and Mikky's renditions of the song against each other coz both did justice to the song. Listening to Mikky's version is like hearing a whole different love story from a male's perspective of the lost relationship. Rihanna's on the other hand, is the Yin to Mikky's Yang
@@lizsmith1796 he did co-write the song… but with Justin Parker. Rihanna didn’t do any of the writing (in case you didn’t know/my apologies if you did) Mikky actually did a large majority of the writing whereas Justin was the primary composer of the sweeping, soul-stirring chord progression.
FACTS!!! 🙌 Literally couldn't have said it better myself! I got something different out of BOTH versions! They BOTH made me feel something!!! Underatted comment right here!!💯🫶🩷
i like how even though Rihanna bought the song, she made no changes to it vocally if anything she was mimicking his vocal style because Mikky is flawless. I obviously love this one more :)
Lyric All along it was a fever A cold sweat, hot headed believer I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something" She said, "If you dare, come a little closer" 'Round and around and around and around we go Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know Not really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way I want you to stay It's not much of a life you're living It's not just something you take, it's given Round and around and around and around we go Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know Not really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way And I want you to stay Ooh, the reason I hold on Ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone Well, funny you're the broken one But I'm the only one who needed saving 'Cause when you never see the light It's hard to know which one of us is caving Not really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way I want you to stay Stay I want you to stay Ooh
What a powerful song and gorgeous video. Thee images are stunning and capture my heart. I’m crying for the many sorrows but also for all of the beauty in the world.
I once in my lifetime wish i was able to use the words of that song to express my feelings to a love one. He went away and to this day , I still miss him.
If not for comments I wouldn't have known Rihanna's rendition was the same. After a couple minutes I just exited Rihanna's. Left a like for Mikky right away. It's amazing how a voice can change a song.
Genius, sincere, captivating and from 2 piano keys, a voice, a story shared to and for the people. Pretty sure this was pretty much complete section by section recordings, studio quality, but one instrument, one voice. Rare.
Check out this live performance he did. The people are assholes and making noise, but he sells it so much more poignantly. It's just heartbreaking th-cam.com/video/SuVy78NLJmU/w-d-xo.html
Wooow es una obra maestra !!! Ojalá sigas haciendo y compartas tu música 🎶 sobre todo este tipo de canciones indies y organicas (TIME), porque se nota que sale del corazón
I saw you, Mikkey , last night at a concert for Borns and after you performed stay after having said you hadn't sung it in years my friends and I looked you up because I felt like something was wrong and all your other songs we thought were great but I wondered why we had never heard of you and then I come to find that Rhianna's version wasn't even the original and she had just bought it from you I thought was so wrong and it angered me that you never got the recognition you should have and the fact that there was an obnoxious group of people yelling out slurs at you after your first few songs not knowing who you were and lacking any type of respect but they sung along with you on stay which was your song to begin with but I'm sure they only knew of the version with Rhianna just made me sad and angry and I hope that you one day get the recognition you do deserve because I loved your other songs and me along with my friends thought you had an amazing voice
i love both versions of this song. Just sad that the people in the comment section made it sound like it is a competition between mikky and rihanna when in fact this is a collaboration. This song is supposed to express two different perspectives of people who used to be together.
I want to ask a question about the original writing of this song. In interviews, Mr. Ekko says that he disliked the song because it exposed inner weakness. I understand that, and it is a beautiful song, and I can relate. I could have sworn, unless it's been scrubbed from the internet, that at one point, a statement was made that the song was written about an experience about church, and the church wanting to call us all out for our faults. I thought that was the reason the song was written in the first place.
Seriously Mikky.. this is so beautiful. The emotion you show in this song feels very real to me and it kills me to think that most everyone thinks that this is something that Rihanna came up with. You really are amazing and attractive and such.. It's a shame I won't ever get to meet you. ^^; You are SOOO my type. lol Anyways, thank you so much for this amazing song.
finally an artist that uploads their demo, i love so many more than the released version by a different artist including this one. never liked rihannas version that much. shes a great singer but this just fits better.
The Rihanna version is like a trailer for this much finer original version. Thanks Rihanna for introducing the world to Mikky
yes because i love him. his voice would be so nice to fall asleep to at night!!
I don't think Rihanna has that much clout in the music business? She's a puppet the music producers use.
D Tokarczyk yes i agree, most artist are though!!! that's why i'm not into music as much as i used to be, it's a sad world!!
I prefer Jared letos
He's really good
He makes this sound so sincere- I love this version
Love this song and it's no wonder Rihanna wanted to record it, never get tired of hearing it. Mikky's voice is just so beautiful.
love this version also
My dude😮🤯 This should’ve been the original release! Even Thirty Seconds to Mars’s cover doesn’t even compare! Your voice!!❤❤❤
I won't compare Rihanna's and Mikky's renditions of the song against each other coz both did justice to the song. Listening to Mikky's version is like hearing a whole different love story from a male's perspective of the lost relationship. Rihanna's on the other hand, is the Yin to Mikky's Yang

Yang is male, Yin is female

He deserve so much more attention! I'm speechless

Lyric
All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something"
She said, "If you dare, come a little closer"
'Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
And I want you to stay
Ooh, the reason I hold on
Ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone
Well, funny you're the broken one
But I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light
It's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Stay
I want you to stay
Ooh
I LOVE both versions. Rihanna's video that features Mikky is much more poignant to me. Such a deep and beautiful song.
Where is he now? 2021? Not seeing much recent stuff. Beautiful voice....
I like both versions but this one is so beautiful and simple with just his voice in it.
such a haunting voice. love this!
shit. i first heard rihannas and fell in love. but this. this is kinda magic.
💜 this song.
This version of the song is unmatched. Beautiful lyrics and he sings it angelically. Wish this one had more views, it deserves as many as rih's
What a powerful song and gorgeous video. Thee images are stunning and capture my heart. I’m crying for the many sorrows but also for all of the beauty in the world.
Just another fan but I must say, you are one incredibly underrated artist, you've inspired me more than most main stream artists.. Thanks Mikky
So beautiful!! Write more!!
Such a beautiful song.
This is my favorite version. Hands down.
even after years this still gives me goosebumps
amazing gives me goosebumps
Amazing 💖💖💖
wish I could find this on itunes..
I once in my lifetime wish i was able to use the words of that song to express my feelings to a love one. He went away and to this day , I still miss him.
This was so amazing live, saw Mikky live at the Royal Albert Hall in London when he was supporting One Republic - just...YES!!
If not for comments I wouldn't have known Rihanna's rendition was the same. After a couple minutes I just exited Rihanna's. Left a like for Mikky right away.

Check out this live performance he did. The people are assholes and making noise, but he sells it so much more poignantly. It's just heartbreaking th-cam.com/video/SuVy78NLJmU/w-d-xo.html

Wooow es una obra maestra !!! Ojalá sigas haciendo y compartas tu música 🎶 sobre todo este tipo de canciones indies y organicas (TIME), porque se nota que sale del corazón

Back again. Something about those piano hits. Just something. Hope all is good Mikky.
