I was listening to a lot of Queen when I wrote and arranged this piece, which I think is evident in the harmonies. This song has more classical influence, mainly baroque, than anything else I\u2019ve written. I have always loved harpsichord and I was so thrilled when I was able to add it to the song.\u201d\u201d<\/blockquote><figcaption class=\"source\">\u2014 M\u00efr\u00e4nd\u00e4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><em>Watch the music video premiere of \u201cStay\u201d below.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r41qndTSuZ0?wmode=opaque&amp;enablejsapi=1\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Director \/ Editor &#8211; Jonah Lorsung<br \/>\nAC \/ Gaffer &#8211; Matthew Marino<br \/>\nProducer &#8211; Graham Burns<br \/>\nBTS \/ PA &#8211; Heather Jensen<br \/>\nProduction Assistance &#8211; Chase Costner<br \/>\nBlue Figure &#8211; Bernadette Schweda<\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-svg-icon--outer social-icon-alignment-center social-icons-color-black social-icons-size-large social-icons-shape-circle social-icons-style-border\">\n<nav class=\"sqs-svg-icon--list\">\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u00efr\u00e4nd\u00e4 debuts her latest single oscillating on themes of heartbreak and the struggle for strength&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":74,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3760,16],"tags":[3762],"class_list":["post-73","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artists","category-music","tag-artist-highlights","has-excerpt"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/license-miranda-music-marmoset-music.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
