East 17 - Stay Another Day (Official Video)

[@Yournansaman]

When I was younger, this was me and my dad’s favourite song. Round about that time, he was suffering from schizophrenia really bad and went out to cope with the pain. Me, being at oldest 6 years old, missed him immensely during this time as my only hope of seeing him was potentially on the couch on Saturdays. One night, I was in bed crying about how much I missed him when he was out and my mum heard me. She must’ve called him to come over as the next thing I heard was him playing this song over my bed as we cuddled for a bit. I still remember that, even though I’m 12 now and things are much better. He still struggles with schizophrenia, but I see him everyday

[@deputy8233]

Best of luck to you and your dad. Respect for being so mature at only 12 y.o. man, I wish yall all the best.

Whenever I hear it, I just want to cry because I wish it was that time again and she was still with me because I’m never going to be the same person without her. I remember saying in her eulogy that I fail to see the point of me, without her… and that will always the the case. 💔 my heart goes out to anyone experiencing grief right now.

I lost my mum to cancer when this song was out every time I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes, but it's such a beautiful song, much love to you east 17

[@andypoopoo16]

After all these years I've only just noticed the tear coming down Tony's face at the end. Such a sad but also fantastic song.

[@natalijalesar206]

[@rickstewart6140]

[@joeandrews7329]

1994 record.

[@ewalsh3871]

Beautiful song. This song will definitely be played for decades to come...

[@bisonkambaine5628]

Love this song. All my memories of xmas in the 90s hit me at once when this classic comes on.

[@aryastark772]

It’s just a masterpiece for me even though it’s repetitive there’s just something so captivating and mesmerising about it every time I hear it every Christmas. The melody and harmonies are so beautiful, the production is on another level

[@karlmartin849]

Masterpiece!? 😂 It's one of the worst and cheesiest pop songs ever recorded. Get your ears cleaned.

[@kayelinth7667]

Lost my beautiful son at 10 weeks earlier this year. Can’t stop crying listening to this 💙🤍💔

[@mohsen83]

Bring back the 90's damn it!

[@pokemonsteve7891]

I agree today music carnt beat the 80s and 90s and early 00s today's it's just rappers and singers with autotune

[@t.jmaddog2188]

After reading up the story behind this song it remind me of people and those who are struggling with depression just need to hold on to people who love them like Tony's brother who took his own life, R.I.P to those who cannot be with us now. :(

[@DaveAndBeth1978]

Great song... When this came out in 1994 I was 14 and my cousin (also my childhood best friend, mentor and big brother figure) had passed away earlier that year from Cystic Fibrosis, heartbreakingly just short of his 18th birthday. Could totally relate to the pain and the themes of loss and grief in the song, as I faced my first Christmas without the biggest, most influential figure from my childhood. Was so glad this held on for the #1 slot at Christmas that year! RIP Simon - 25 years on, and you're never forgotten... Sleep tight, cuz!

[@Conflictproject69]

Merry Christmas hope your feeling better ❤️

[@nini1772]

So sorry to hear that.....i believe that God has special reason for taking young people ...your cousin will always be with you ❤

[@christhecripplercrossfaceb6017]

Okay

[@thequestioner5916]

He must of had very serve cf as he only reached half of the expected life expectancy of cf in 1994 rip Simon

[@DaveAndBeth1978]

​@thequestioner5916 it was severe, but he was also born with a collapsed lung... In those days though, early death from CF was still fairly common... Thank you

[@specialkieran]

Tony Mortimer (the tall one in the group) wrote this, and was very reluctant to have it released as a Christmas song as he wrote it about and for his brother who committed suicide. It really changes the meaning when listening to it with this in mind.

[@MegaMasterkiller666]

I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but if it's dedicated to his brother then why does it talk about kissing?

[@ferrybuttle]

[@cloudfloyyd]

As sensitive as the issue is and I mean no disrespect, the lyrics do lean towards someone's lover rather than someone's brother.

[@blacls]

I call bullshit

Never thought.. ME AS AN OLD TIMER.. ID NEVER SING THE PRAISES. OF ANYTHING.. MODERN.. THIS TUNE. MADE ME APPRECIATE. THERE IS TALENT.. OUT THERE. BE PATIENT!!

[@PrettyInBlue.1996]

Eastenders is the reason I’m here listening to this right now

[@Peterfitsnicly]

Timeless... remember this when it first come out, great song...

[@YorozuyaNeesan2010]

I remember this being Christmas number 1 when I was 13 and remember just liking the tune and not paying any heed to the words I was actually singing. But my strongest memory of this song is when I was at work in my early 20s. I was randomly asking some coworkers what the saddest song they could think of was. I never forget one of my coworkers told me that this was her saddest song because they played it at her son's funeral. Now all I think of when I hear that song is this and can't imagine the pain she feels every time she hears this.

[@SuperSonicGFX]

My brothers favourite song, rest in peace, bro, we all miss you loads.

[@stevenh7842]

This song always hits me but it's also one of my favourites, especially after the last 2 years. Life is hard, Christmas is wonderful, family are forever, but life is short. Enjoy every minute and appreciate everything you got. Happy Christmas everyone!
