The Rihanna version is like a trailer for this much finer original version. Thanks Rihanna for introducing the world to Mikky

I don't think Rihanna has that much clout in the music business? She's a puppet the music producers use.

He's really good

He makes this sound so sincere- I love this version

I won't compare Rihanna's and Mikky's renditions of the song against each other coz both did justice to the song. Listening to Mikky's version is like hearing a whole different love story from a male's perspective of the lost relationship. Rihanna's on the other hand, is the Yin to Mikky's Yang

@@lizsmith1796 he did co-write the song… but with Justin Parker. Rihanna didn’t do any of the writing (in case you didn’t know/my apologies if you did) Mikky actually did a large majority of the writing whereas Justin was the primary composer of the sweeping, soul-stirring chord progression.

FACTS!!! 🙌 Literally couldn't have said it better myself! I got something different out of BOTH versions! They BOTH made me feel something!!! Underatted comment right here!!💯🫶🩷

shit. i first heard rihannas and fell in love. but this. this is kinda magic.

i like how even though Rihanna bought the song, she made no changes to it vocally if anything she was mimicking his vocal style because Mikky is flawless. I obviously love this one more :)

Love this song and it's no wonder Rihanna wanted to record it, never get tired of hearing it. Mikky's voice is just so beautiful.

He deserve so much more attention! I'm speechless

My dude😮🤯 This should’ve been the original release! Even Thirty Seconds to Mars’s cover doesn’t even compare! Your voice!!❤❤❤

I LOVE both versions. Rihanna's video that features Mikky is much more poignant to me. Such a deep and beautiful song.

"Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving"

This version of the song is unmatched. Beautiful lyrics and he sings it angelically. Wish this one had more views, it deserves as many as rih's

I like both versions but this one is so beautiful and simple with just his voice in it.

YESSSS so happy. I've been waiting for one without rihanna

This is the original lol

If not for comments I wouldn't have known Rihanna's rendition was the same. After a couple minutes I just exited Rihanna's. Left a like for Mikky right away. It's amazing how a voice can change a song.

Lyric All along it was a fever A cold sweat, hot headed believer I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something" She said, "If you dare, come a little closer" 'Round and around and around and around we go Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know Not really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way I want you to stay It's not much of a life you're living It's not just something you take, it's given Round and around and around and around we go Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know Not really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way And I want you to stay Ooh, the reason I hold on Ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone Well, funny you're the broken one But I'm the only one who needed saving 'Cause when you never see the light It's hard to know which one of us is caving Not really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way I want you to stay Stay I want you to stay Ooh

Just another fan but I must say, you are one incredibly underrated artist, you've inspired me more than most main stream artists.. Thanks Mikky

such a haunting voice. love this!

Patiently waiting for Mikky Ekko's album..

Why this only got 400k views :/ deserves WAY more than that

Oh no 🤦‍♂️

Genius, sincere, captivating and from 2 piano keys, a voice, a story shared to and for the people. Pretty sure this was pretty much complete section by section recordings, studio quality, but one instrument, one voice. Rare.

This was so amazing live, saw Mikky live at the Royal Albert Hall in London when he was supporting One Republic - just...YES!!

i love both versions of this song. Just sad that the people in the comment section made it sound like it is a competition between mikky and rihanna when in fact this is a collaboration. This song is supposed to express two different perspectives of people who used to be together.

Perfection!!! Can't wait for the album!

OMG... I love the way you sing this... you sing it with so much passion

I once in my lifetime wish i was able to use the words of that song to express my feelings to a love one. He went away and to this day , I still miss him.

💜 this song.

Hallelujah this is what I've been waiting for since forever!!!

Rihanna is good for one thing---she led me to Mikky Ekko.

You are ridiculously ridiculous

Isn't it funny how Rihanna's version - a woman singing about a man - sounds like a woman so ridiculously in love with a man that it sounds a little bit pathetic, yet Mikky Ekko's version - a man singing about a woman - sounds like this woman is so desirable that he can't function without her? It might be because of they way they sing or because of society's standard gender perceptions about love and emotion, but to me, that's why this version is better by just a sliver. EDIT: I don’t mean Rihanna’s version sounds pathetic, I mean she evokes that of someone so pathetically in love in her version. Still an absolutely beautiful rendition!

Angela S but Mikky Ekko comes up on the second half of Rihanna's version that it balances it. It shows two people so in love, but afraid to want it or to need each other. Both versions are amazing, but both have two different tones.

Nah either way albeit intending towards a man or a woman, in my opinion it sounds quite romantic and valiant or unreal when anyone of either gender sings these lyrics.

I saw you, Mikkey , last night at a concert for Borns and after you performed stay after having said you hadn't sung it in years my friends and I looked you up because I felt like something was wrong and all your other songs we thought were great but I wondered why we had never heard of you and then I come to find that Rhianna's version wasn't even the original and she had just bought it from you I thought was so wrong and it angered me that you never got the recognition you should have and the fact that there was an obnoxious group of people yelling out slurs at you after your first few songs not knowing who you were and lacking any type of respect but they sung along with you on stay which was your song to begin with but I'm sure they only knew of the version with Rhianna just made me sad and angry and I hope that you one day get the recognition you do deserve because I loved your other songs and me along with my friends thought you had an amazing voice

I don't like Rihanna, but I think she's done a great job with the song... Nevertheless, this one is the best! Mikki manages to add a lot more emotion delivery in his vocals

Wow. Mikky has such an amazing voice.

Amazing I love this song!

Wooow es una obra maestra !!! Ojalá sigas haciendo y compartas tu música 🎶 sobre todo este tipo de canciones indies y organicas (TIME), porque se nota que sale del corazón

i love this version

so beautiful!!

Love this song!!!

Where is he now? 2021? Not seeing much recent stuff. Beautiful voice....

So pure and brilliant

I could listen to your voice on a daily basis and not get tired of it. Devine. And that face, well, it is perfection.

Gawd this song still gives me goosebumps 😍 I hope he makes one with Kat Graham, my soul needs it 💞

Seriously Mikky.. this is so beautiful. The emotion you show in this song feels very real to me and it kills me to think that most everyone thinks that this is something that Rihanna came up with. You really are amazing and attractive and such.. It's a shame I won't ever get to meet you. ^^; You are SOOO my type. lol Anyways, thank you so much for this amazing song.

Sos toda mi inspiración!!!

Never heard the original before absolutely love it

agreed...the original version is hauntingly beautiful. more so than the later one.

Beautiful

I always wish this was a thing and I don’t even search... results that exits! This version it’s just wow

The best version.

I love this original

Mikky ekko sings this song better by himself

Great video!

Saw him last night at the Albert hall. He's very talented and a brilliant writer.

I love it

Only just discovered Mikky after watching him perform live with OneRepublic in London! Been missing out! Amazing voice:)
