Stay but better

30 Seconds to MarsWow, so two music posts in a row!  This is not my usual writing topic but I just can’t help myself.  I have been a huge fan of 30 Seconds to Mars ever since I first heard the song The Kill (Bury Me).  Jared Leto is the lead singer of the band and his voice just haunts me.  It is all raspy and dramatic and strong.  I could listen to that song over and over and over.  It is on my running ipod so I actually do listen to it on repeat sometimes.  And if you have been reading my blogs for years, you know that sometimes that includes dramatic arm movements while running as well.  It is an awesome song, you need to check it out if you don’t know it.

On the radio yesterday, they played Jared Leto doing a cover of Rihanna’s Stay.  It is so freaking awesome.  You can check out his version of Stay here.  Have I mentioned his voice gives me chills?  He just does it so much better than she does.  Funny because I always liked Mandy Moore’s version of Umbrella better than Rihanna’s as well.  Perhaps Rihanna could keep putting out music so that my favourite artists’ can cover it?
