OPINION:
“Stay” opens as a piano ballad before launching into a credible pop number. Anna’s vocals are commanding and dominant and perfectly match the superb bassline of each chorus.
PREDICTION:
I hope this goes through to the final, the song and Anna’s vocal ability are worthy. Whether it will be enough to win major points each time is a different matter, so probably a mid-table finish will be the best we can all hope for, unless…!
LYRICS:
“Hold on
Even with the wind we’ll make it
Be strong
Keep the fire burning inside
Go on as I breathe in you
Look into my eyes
Fly me high
Right up to the sky
Stay
Until I find a way to be together
Forever’s here to stay
No matter what they say
It’s now or never
It’s forever
This time
We can try to keep our story
This crime
We can stop from breaking apart
No rhyme
Is a match for you
Never let me down
If I fall
I’m nothing at all
Stay
Until I find a way to be together
Forever’s here to stay
No matter what they say
It’s now or never
It’s forever
When you come stand beside me
The earth is moving fast
Stay
Stay
Oh …
Oh …
Stay, stay
Oh …
Oh …
Stay
Until I find a way to be together
Forever’s here to stay
No matter what they say
It’s now or never
It’s forever”
