Listened to this back to back 3 times holding back tears. This is the most amazing performance I have seen in my entire life across my 28 year life. It's so dialed in, crisp, choreography is so well done, all of you have so much synergy with each other. This deserves so many millions of views. May you all find the health to do this for as long as you want, and be remembered for it for a hundred years afterward.
Brought me to tears. MUNA has been so important to me coming to terms with my identity, especially this song. You did an amazing version of it. My heart is weeping
Everything about this is perfection. I’ve listened to this like 20+ times in the past 2 days. Their blend, the soloist, the vocal percussion, everything is just pure musical bliss
Lyrics 0:00 “Stayaway” by MUNA [Verse 1] If I see my old friends, we'll go out dancing If we go out dancing, then we’ll go to the bar If we go to the bar, then there's gonna be drinking If I drink, I wanna see where you are So I don't see my old friends, I don’t go dancing I don't do most things I used to do Actually, now that I'm thinking about it I did most things to get to you [Chorus] No one ever told me leaving was the easy part I gotta stay away Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard I gotta stay away [Post-Chorus] Away I gotta stay away [Verse 2] If I go driving, then I'll put on music If I put on music, then I'll play your song If I play your song, then I think I'll lose it End up pulled up at the front of your lawn So I don't go driving, no, I just stay in I don’t do most things I used to do ’Cause every moment is a fork in the road And all my roads lead back to you [Chorus] No one ever told me leaving was the easy part I gotta stay away Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard I gotta stay away [Post-Chorus] Stay away, stay, stay away Stay away, stay, stay away Stay away, stay, stay away Stay away, now I gotta do what’s hard I gotta do, what’s hard [Bridge] If I turn off the light, then I might start thinking If I start thinking, I’ll think of the time when You said that you love me, you said I was perfect You said you were sorry, you said you were selfish If I don't stop it, before I know it All the bad things never happened You never lied or treated me bad and If you did, then you'll wish you hadn't Start believing you were right and I was being too dramatic So I gotta leave the light on for tonight Just so I can stay Away I gotta stay away Stay, away I gotta stay, away Leaving you, was the easy part I gotta stay [Outro] No one ever told me, leaving was the easy part I gotta stay away
Y’all never cease to amaze me with the vocals, the arrangements, and the emotion in your performances. Literally my favorite acapella group of all time!
this is my favorite muna song even and i didn’t think i’d ever get the feeling of hearing this song live back (i’ve seen them twice live) but this made me feel that again and it’s just so beautiful
I randomly looked up a cover of Fools by Troye Sivan and found you guys. I watched alll the videos. This one tho......legit brought a tear to my eye its so beautiful. I recently found out about Muna and i love them and this song is so great. I really feel like you guys captured the deep cuts the lyrics convey. The og is just upbeat and poppy enough it isnt really "sad" but this really shows how freakomg hard it can be to stay away from that person you know you shouldn't be around. Amazing! I'd really love to hear Can't stay away from The Veronicas as a counter to this song. Anyway so glad i found you guys
STAYAWAY (opb. MUNA) OUT NOW ON ALL MUSIC STREAMING PLATFORMS! 🤍 Listen here: bit.ly/STAYAWAY_
I LOOKED HERE AT THE RIGHT TIME. THIS HAS BEEN ON MY MIND OBSESSIVELY SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT

My thoughts exactly.
Truly incredible
You're being dramatic, Olive. You need to be slapped back to reality.
@@TheBibsyI first heard this song at an open mic night and immediately loved it! 🎤

The soloist is staggeringly talented. Her range and breath control are unreal.
That's my niece -Julianna Zannikos :)
She went to my school and she is amazingggg
JULES!!!
the high note??? the belt??? so healthy??? placement queen??? i'm crying???
Honestly best a cappella arraingment I’ve ever heard
Shams at it again.

go listen to their arrangement of The End of Love
What I was thinking
100% agree. @Shams Ahmed ❤️🙏🙌
The arrangement is stunning, the choreo is evocative, the soloist is ASTOUNDING - 10/10 no notes
This arrangement is one of the best I've ever heard. Legit.
Amazing❤ #Beautiful #Ppperfect
the high notes! the healthy belt! the staging! the blend! the arrangement! INCREDIBLE
Possibly my favorite MUNA song and damn, y'all did it justice. Pls don't make us wait three years for a cover from their self-titled album lol

Agreed!
@@kevintian7151 literally can't go wrong. all three albums have zero skips

Lyrics
0:00 “Stayaway” by MUNA
[Verse 1]
If I see my old friends, we'll go out dancing
If we go out dancing, then we’ll go to the bar
If we go to the bar, then there's gonna be drinking
If I drink, I wanna see where you are
So I don't see my old friends, I don’t go dancing
I don't do most things I used to do
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it
I did most things to get to you
[Chorus]
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
I gotta stay away
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stay away
[Post-Chorus]
Away
I gotta stay away
[Verse 2]
If I go driving, then I'll put on music
If I put on music, then I'll play your song
If I play your song, then I think I'll lose it
End up pulled up at the front of your lawn
So I don't go driving, no, I just stay in
I don’t do most things I used to do
’Cause every moment is a fork in the road
And all my roads lead back to you
[Chorus]
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part
I gotta stay away
Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard
I gotta stay away
[Post-Chorus]
Stay away, stay, stay away
Stay away, stay, stay away
Stay away, stay, stay away
Stay away, now I gotta do what’s hard
I gotta do, what’s hard
[Bridge]
If I turn off the light, then I might start thinking
If I start thinking, I’ll think of the time when
You said that you love me, you said I was perfect
You said you were sorry, you said you were selfish
If I don't stop it, before I know it
All the bad things never happened
You never lied or treated me bad and
If you did, then you'll wish you hadn't
Start believing you were right and
I was being too dramatic
So I gotta leave the light on for tonight
Just so I can stay
Away
I gotta stay away
Stay, away
I gotta stay, away
Leaving you, was the easy part
I gotta stay
[Outro]
No one ever told me, leaving was the easy part
I gotta stay away
This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands and y'all absolutely KILLED it. Listening to this for the 3rd time in a row.
