The Rihanna version is like a trailer for this much finer original version. Thanks Rihanna for introducing the world to Mikky

[threecrees]

He makes this sound so sincere- I love this version

[RixMorales]

I won't compare Rihanna's and Mikky's renditions of the song against each other coz both did justice to the song. Listening to Mikky's version is like hearing a whole different love story from a male's perspective of the lost relationship. Rihanna's on the other hand, is the Yin to Mikky's Yang

Lyric

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer

I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something"
She said, "If you dare, come a little closer"

'Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay

It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
And I want you to stay

Ooh, the reason I hold on
Ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone

Well, funny you're the broken one
But I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light
It's hard to know which one of us is caving

Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Stay
I want you to stay
Ooh

Love this song and it's no wonder Rihanna wanted to record it, never get tired of hearing it.  Mikky's voice is just so beautiful. 

[julieloreg-hodges]

I LOVE both versions. Rihanna's video that features Mikky is much more poignant to me. Such a deep and beautiful song.

[RoZeCrUsH]

He deserve so much more attention! I'm speechless

[susanpoulette]

I like both versions but this one is so beautiful and simple with just his voice in it.

[changminkeybum]

shit. i first heard rihannas and fell in love. but this. this is kinda magic.

[lungelwaradebe]

i like how even though Rihanna bought the song, she made no changes to it vocally if anything she was mimicking his vocal style because Mikky is flawless. I obviously love this one more :)

[DisLeigh]

My dude😮🤯 This should’ve been the original release! Even Thirty Seconds to Mars’s cover doesn’t even compare! Your voice!!❤❤❤

[claudiasummers]

Genius, sincere, captivating and from 2 piano keys, a voice, a story shared to and for the people. Pretty sure this was pretty much complete section by section recordings, studio quality, but one instrument, one voice. Rare.

[estelaa.]

What a powerful song and gorgeous video. Thee images are stunning and capture my heart. I’m crying for the many sorrows but also for all of the beauty in the world.

[Alyrulz]

This version of the song is unmatched. Beautiful lyrics and he sings it angelically. Wish this one had more views, it deserves as many as rih's

[LionelBrunet]

I once in my lifetime wish i was able to use the words of that song to express my feelings to a love one. He went away and to this day, I still miss him.

[frecklesxx]

This was so amazing live, saw Mikky live at the Royal Albert Hall in London when he was supporting One Republic - just...YES!!

[igcbbld]

If not for comments I wouldn't have known Rihanna's rendition was the same. After a couple minutes I just exited Rihanna's. Left a like for Mikky right away.
It's amazing how a voice can change a song.

[solomonsimpson]

Just another fan but I must say, you are one incredibly underrated artist, you've inspired me more than most main stream artists.. Thanks Mikky

[meraMorosa]

even after years this still gives me goosebumps
