Blog EntryLast Song Syndrome: Blue Nile - Stay (1984)Jan 9, '08 2:53 PM
for everyone
While I was DJ'ing back at 99.5 RT in Metro Manila, I felt really fortunate to have been able to soak up on some really good music. I was already in my early 20's then- and having grown up in the 80's, I tried to play as much new wave as I could for 24K Friday.

I remember the first time I was browsing through the old CD warehouse's selection of hard-to-find CDs, and virtually got bowled over when I saw this one compilation (which was worth php850 back then! well played, CD warehouse, well played...). Among other great new wave stuff, it had this lesser-known new wave tune. "Stay" has been revived quite a number of times, but the original version remains as one of my favorites to this day.

Enjoy, everyone.

Blue Nile

"Stay" (1984)

I'm taking off this party hat
The white situation is over
A new situation begins

Red guitar is broken
To beat the drum of youth again
Take too long to say

Stay, stay, stay
And I will understand you
Stay, I will understand you



I write a new book every day
The love theme for the wilderness
I fit the words together

Candy girls want candy boxes
She loves the music box forever
She's crying on my shoulder

Stay, stay, stay and I will understand you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will understand you

Summer girls in disarray
Can be so free and easy now
Well, we'll be free and easy

Stay, stay, stay and I will understand you
Stay, I will understand you

I write a new book everyday
A love theme for the wilderness
A love theme
