Her voice is hauntingly beautiful, adding layers of emotion to the already intricate instrumental.
“Stay is one of my favourite instrumentals I’ve made in a while. It’s definitely a step outside what I’ve been making recently. I wrote the idea based off this detuned monochord concept I’ve been inspired by this year, and then sent it over to arnii to write a story around it. We wanted to tell a tale about wishing someone would Stay in your life, even when things feel too complicated to continue.” ~ MarMar
arnii adds; “Stay is a song about the process of falling out of love and missing someone even though you know they're no good for you. It's about all the pieces that make up a person and the strange parts that you miss when you're not together anymore.”
