This song is a cover of the original song Stay by Rihanna. Visit this link to hear her original song.

When creating this song, I used the Karaoke version as the melody. Here is the link to view the karaoke version.

Throughout the song, Rihanna sings with another artist, Mikky Ekko. The song was released in 2012 in Rihanna's album Unapologetic and was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award. The vocalists, Mikky and Rihanna sing this duet with intense desire and emotion for each other. Rihanna's voice seems to break and cry as she battles wihin her own mind for what she loves to stay. Although some argue that the song was written about a man that she loved, about how she wanted him to stay, others could argue that the song was about something deeper. With Rihanna, being an artist who is heavily involved in Occultic and Satanic rituals, singing this song, it is believed that this song was written to declare her desire for the devil to stay with her. The chaotic battle within the music shows how her relationship with Lucifer grows.

The song begins with a piano melody building up the emotion in anticipation for Rihanna's voice. She describes her relationship as "cold" and "hot" and like a "fever" alluding that she was an uncommitted believer, and saw it as a sickness before. Next she asks for a sign, and the devil temps her to come closer into his charm. She describes it as a never-ending circle: "round and round and round and round we go" she says. The repetitive chorus mirrors satanic chants that may occult recite to invite evil spirits. Rihana is describing a relationship, is it one about a human, or fallen angel. Look close and pay attention to the detail of the words to deside for yourself.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
