Shakespear's Sister - "Stay"

[madonnafan]

This song is gorgeous even if it did scare me when I was younger, it was HUGE here in the UK and the video still gets played pretty much daily. How much did it sell in the US? It went Gold but was it closer to the million mark??

Hormonally Yours was one of my go-to albums when I was dealing with some things back in the early 1990s. I dug the lyrics and the almost operatic way of singing of Marcella Detroit and how it contrasted with Fahey's lower tone. Yeah, Stay was one of my favorite songs of that decade.

Anybody enjoy French and Saunder's parody of Stay called Destiny?

[Dammn Baby]

Marcella - what a voice!





This is what music must sound like in heaven.

I recently became obsessed with this (and some of their other music) after hearing a Dance cover of this. The original is just so beautifully done. I love how Marcella and Siobahn complemented each other vocally. The bridge totally changes the direction and feel of the song and it's just so brilliant. The Sophie Muller directed video is a real trip.

My sister and I stanned for this when it was out and I still love it. So good.

I don't remember this song at all until I heard it on a B96 aircheck from 1992 (they were really trying to add more non-dance songs to the playlist at that time although they remained a rhythmic station and there was no mainstream top 40 station in Chicago).  Pretty sure the AC stations (100.3, 101.9 the Mix, and Lite FM 93.9) played this one as well.  As for the song itself, it's decent.

I wish there was a little bit more to the chorus, but that bridge is really good and I guess the chorus's simplicity helps it to stand out even more.
