Oh Mercy - Stay, Please Stay


Link.

Favorite lyrics: What can I do with a love that gathers dust in a busy room?

Oh Mercy has a really clear-cut sound with the kind of simplicity that's just about the music; Stay, Please Stay isn't overtly trying to grab your attention in a million different ways, but it still manages to grab it. There's some sonar-sounding guitar playing, an underwater call that could very easily drown you, and a xylophone melody that's beyond addicting. The vocals are equally entrancing and the whole song gives off an upbeat but moody vibe, like the singer's singing directly to a dying relationship and the band is playing over the good parts like it can bring them back to life.

Hope you catch it,
