Stay

That moment when you know someone’s leaving and you ask them to stay anyway, not because it’ll work but because what else are you going to do? Rihanna and Mikky Ekko getting smaller and smaller in the mix, voices layered and distant, the production all claustrophobic and underwater. You put it on thinking it’ll be background noise and somehow you’re stuck there again, in whatever that song is describing. It doesn’t fix anything. It never does. But you play it anyway.
