MayWhen songs "stay" with you

For the few people who read my posts, it would be rather obvious to them that there are heaps of old songs that I love. Rock songs, dance songs, love songs...yep, many many songs.
Funnily enough, a song simply entitled "Stay" has in fact, stayed with me throughout the years. Released in 1992, the song was the biggest hit for The Shakespears Sisters. A dark, ethereal yet twisted ballad, that builds and builds to a simple plea for a lover to stay.
Twisted?? Yes, most definitely twisted. For halfway through this song, the pace and mood of the song picks up. It introduces the vocals of Siobhan Fahey, adds an element of mystery and another dimension to the song. Is it a fight between two women for the heart of one man? Or is it about escape from a less than ideal relationship?
The idea that it is a love triangle is further fuelled by the music video that still creeps me out to this day. On the whole, it's a lovely video. But again, halfway through the song when Siobhan appears....creepy.
