ERASE THEORY - Stay (Official Music Video)

ERASE THEORY is the brand new project from letlive. guitarist Jeff Sahyoun. ‘Stay’ features on ERASE THEORY’s forthcoming self-titled debut EP, released 24th February 2023 via Icons Creating Evil Art. Stream: It’s an emotionally devastating pop rock anthem which Jeff says was written in “two hours, as my fiancé was moving out of our house. I was so sad, I didn’t give a shit about what it sounded like or how honest I was being.” And that’s a mood that defines ERASE THEORY, with Jeff trying numerous styles, genres (and a few different singers) before settling for the one that felt the most natural. “For a while, it felt like I was trying to play a character. It was only when I gave myself permission to be myself that it felt right.“ After a lot of trial and error to find something that felt exciting, the end result is something Jeff describes as The Weeknd meets Nine Inch Nails but with nods to childhood influences David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Depeche Mode. --------------------- VIDEO CREDITS Directed By Nick Scholey Art Direction: Michele Clark Cinematographer: Nick Scholey Post Production and Editing: Nick Scholey Actress: Inga Salomé Actor: Jeff Sahyoun Shot on location in Berlin, Germany A Fruit Salat Film ( ) --------------------- MUSIC: Artist: ERASE THEORY Title: Stay Music/Lyrics: Jeff Sahyoun ISRC: SEXCG2204103 Publishing: Icons Creating Evil Art c/o CMG Holding AB Label: Icons Creating Evil Art --------------------- LINKS: Official webpage: Instagram: Facebook: Spotify: Apple Music: tbc Twitter: --------------------- LYRICS: All I needed was just a little promise But you’re having a little trouble giving me it We’re still living under the same roof But this hasn’t been a home for weeks I’m stick of sitting here spending my time Bitter and broken in my prime Stay with me I never said I want to be alone Stay with me Never said I want a broken home I guess how we do Was never good enough for you to Stay with me It hurts for me to watch you It hurts for me to watch you leave You said that we would live and die together I guess what you said was just whatever now (And this shit is killing me) Tell me how letting go became the future How we’ve become a final chapter I think I’m having trouble understanding this matter Stay with me I never said I want to be alone Stay with me Never said I want a broken home I guess how we do Was never good enough for you to Stay with me It hurts for me to watch you It hurts for me to watch you leave Turning your back on me is something that I’ll never forget Turning your back on me is something that you’re gonna regret Turning your back on me is something that I’ll never forget I’ll never forget I’ll never forget You turned me off And it hurts like hell You turned us off And it hurts like hell I thought you loved me You loved me Stay with me I never said I want to be alone Stay with me Never said I want a broken home I guess how we do Was never good enough for you to Stay with me It hurts for me to watch you Stay with me It hurts for me to watch you leave Stay with me Never said I want a broken home I guess how we do Was never good enough for you to Stay with me It hurts for me to watch you It hurts for me to watch you leave --- P & C 2023 Icons Creating Evil Art All Rights Reserved.
