‘Stay’ is a new acoustic ballad from Sydney singer/songwriter Lucy Burke, and impresses with an immaculately-produced video clip directed by Heremaia Rudkin.

The clip shouts romance from the rooftops, providing a perfectly-paired backdrop to Lucy’s dulcet tones, strings and piano slowly building towards an invigorating crescendo.

In Lucy’s words, “The lyrics plead for reality to be suspended and the desire to enter a fantasy world where one can stay with their loved ones in the moment forever.”

‘Stay’ is available now on iTunes, along with her 2014 album Chasing Sparks, and you can follow Lucy at her Facebook page.
