What I remember: Male vocalist, largely performed on piano. There may be strings that swell up at some point, but the piano is primary. Definitely love/torch song of some kind. Reminds me a bit of “Stay” by Rihanna. I’m pretty sure it’s an individual artist and not a band. The song is contemporary, since I’ve heard it on the radio a couple of times on a station where they only play modern stuff, so I’d safely say it’s from this year, or perhaps last year (I’m not really up on what’s current). But it’s not on the fringes, but rather a major commercial release. Sorry, no memory of specific lyrics. I know it’s not as detailed as I’d like, but any help would be appreciated. I like it a lot. Thanks! 🙂 ---

Something by John Legend, maybe? ---

OK, this probably isn’t it, but I have to ask. “Stay with Me” by Sam Smith? ---

Thanks, but not quite there yet. The John Legend song I immediately thought of when I read your OP and that matched pretty much everything you described is [All of Me.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=450p7goxZqg) Could that be it? ---

Oh, nice! First time I ever was the one to figure it out for someone else. It’s a good song.
