"Stan" was added to the Webster Dictionary last year, due to this song.

[@pdubzpyro]

Syfin one could say that... one could say that it’s due to you guns catching on to something too late... yet one could also say do to the fanatical “Meme” world we live in- it’s thanks to those kids being so damn repetitive and unoriginal.

​@@privateger STan has been out 20 years, why only now how is it been added to a dictionary? Cos this generation have adapted the words stan, use it daily in memes and overall conversation, basically they made a 20 year old made up word relevant again, its cool, Stan is a great describing word as apposed to a fan, a stan for me, is a.. well a nutcase, ujst listen to the song lol

Eminem heard Dido's song that is used for the hook, and the line about the pictures on the wall made him think of an obsessed fan. That's why the hook is used.

[@lrsrosebud]

The video to this song is fantastic! The singer, Dido, plays the girlfriend in it. For me, the best performance of this was on Grammy’s (I think) when Elton John sang the hook and played the piano. Em was getting a lot of shit from protesters saying he was homophobic. Elton John ended up kind of helping Em get clean (almost like his sponsor) and apparently used to call him all the time to check up on him. Fantastic that Em just celebrated 12 years sober.💜

[@havers2010]

I think Elton still calls him every week he does it with alot of his friend to see how they are getting on with their issues/ health, Ozzy Osbourne commented on it recently that every week without fail he always rings to check in on him

The chorus does relate to the song. "But your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad." It's representing the fan who looks up at Eminem's poster as the only way he can feel better.

[@frankiek2269]

The woman’s chorus(Dido’s part) is life from the Stans point of view. Even though life is dreary, they can look at the picture of their idol on the wall and feel better.

Finaly, I salute you for making your dad listen to the original version and not the "clean" one. Most first reaction are ruined because the pregnant girlfriend in the trunk is censored while it is the part of the song that gives the most chills.

[@TheManager22]

The course was a huge song in the late 90’s and the original was actually still playing on the radio when Stan came out.. Em heard it and instantly thought of an obsessed fan instead of a love bc of the pictures on the wall. It resonated with him from hanging magazine pictures of his favorite rappers growing up. The rest is history and Stan is now a term in the dictionary

[@illusionsYT]

I saw one person request "Dance with The Devil" by Immortal Technique. I would love to see this song reacted too. Please dont do any research on this song before listening, It will spoil so much about the song. Just give it a listen and probably one of the most deep mind fucking depressing songs i've ever heard, even though this is in my top 5 alive right now

Man I'm low key jealous of the vibe you've got with your dad. I lost mine when I was in my teens. But the way this dude looks at you and that slightly nervous drive he's got about checking this stuff out. You dont see people doing those checks unless they're super dedicated to a thing. You're lucky my dude. You've got a wonderful relationship there, and I hope you fully apreciate the potential to bond you have right there. He cares about you deeply and he's 100% on board and it ain't about the music. What matters to him is 110% about quality time with you. That's a precious gift and I love that you two have that. Don't let it go to waste.

[@hiphopgrind1]

@@CM_87 yea that one was brutal

[@smithjswanchat1]

The original song is used in a way that the singer expresses their thanks to a person (assumed to be their partner/love) who makes even the worst days a little bit better. But Eminem was sent the sample and heard the "your picture on my wall reminds me that its not so bad" and put a fan-idol spin on it. So because Dido is singing it you're led to believe its a nice romantic sentiment. But the trip is that the chorus is from stan's perspective (towards eminem) but tied in with how a wife/husband should feel about their partner, which tragically is clearly not the case here.

[@Mo-gw5bq]

You say that "Stan's" attitude isn't farfetched from the truth, and that's really true. Not long ago (in April) a 27-year-old fan literally snuck past sleeping security, broke into Eminem's house (by breaking a window I think) at 4 in the morning just to meet him, putting himself and everyone involved in grave danger, so many things could've gone wrong, and it's a shame honestly. Plus, this is far from being the first time since even though "STAN" isn't a true story, it was inspired by the crazy fan mail that Eminem got (and still gets), he struggled a lot with it, and if you listen to "The Way I Am" -which is an amazing song btw- you'd hear a very angry Marshal Mathers, one that's tired of fans ruining his everyday life, and that one always tied to stan for me. Also, (because I have some free time, and because I really love this song, and would like for it to be understood in the best way) this is how I interpret the chorus and how it ties to the verses: Dido uses a lot of imagery, things that shouldn't necessarily be taken literally, she says: "My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window And I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray" These bars are metaphors (also descriptions of her surroundings and feeling), they all describe lack of purpose and/or things feeling stale (cold tea) and gray (rainy clouds in the morning). They also describe a feeling of loss and helplessness ("I can't see at all "), and basically a lack of any kind of wanting to live ("I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all "), then she breaks this imagery with one of hope by saying "But your picture on my wall , It reminds me that it's not so bad" meaning that in these very hard times, she finds peace and comfort in her favorite artist's work, and it serves as an escape from the cruel reality that she, stan, and millions of other fans find themselves in, which gives a deeper meaning to the lines from the second verse: "I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on ‘Cause I don't really got shit else So that shit helps when I'm depressed". Yeah I can go on for hours, but this is hopefully enough to explain the chorus at least.

This was the moment when Eminem went from "public nuisance" to "nuanced artist" in the eyes of the public. This album is a seminal classic, front to back, and part of one of the greatest runs for one artist (and of of the greatest runs for a record label too, between 2001, MM:LP and Get Rich or Die Trying) ever. Watching him perform this at the Grammys live on stage with Elton John while morons protested him outside the show for being "homophobic" was chill inducing to me.

[@rexxraul]

Stan has some mental issues - the chorus says "I wonder why I got out of bed at all" and the end she says that the picture on the wall (and Eminem poster) reminds him that it's not so bad. He's been using Eminem as a coping mechanism. That's why he gets angrier and angrier when he thinks he's being ignored by him. I'm up and down on Eminem's career in general, but this song is very important. I remember him singing this with Elton John at the Grammys (I think it was the Grammys, it might've been an MTV award). Thanks for the video.

[@nonyabizz9390]

In a youtube short I saw a scene where they did this in concert and Dido was on stage. Despite being a musician herself, she seemed a little lost and nervous, but she started singing, and then you hear the audience singing her lings along with her, and you see her react as she hears it, and her confidence go up as she keeps singing. It really was a very beautiful moment. Weird that it came from a performance of such a dark song, but look it up, it's incredible.

[@Zombieshark420x]

Great artist are usually known for having many hits. Legendary artists not only have that, but are also usually known for having one song that towers so high that it lasts generations and is above all the rest they do. Stan is Em's Starry Night and shows exactly why he deserves the praise he gets.
