The famous Stan song, by Eminem featuring Elton John, is now on our website.
Eminem, by his real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, or maybe better said the American rapper, who really made a difference in the world of music, being among the best-selling music artists of all time.
He is best known for his work, which is widely regarded as having broken racial barriers for the acceptance of white rappers in this music genre.
Stan is a song released by Eminem in October 2000, as part of his album named The Marshall Mathers LP.
The song features vocals sampled from singer Dido, and it is the third single from the album, also considered one of the artist’s signature songs.
When released, the free Stan piano sheets reached number one in 12 countries, such as the UK, Germany, Ireland, or Austria.
The free Stan piano sheet music has a length of 6:44 minutes in the album version and it was shortened at 5:31 minutes for the radio edit.
In the composition of the song, we can identify the great mixing, the guitar and bass, the keyboard, and of course the vocals.
Stan was released through Aftermath and Interscope Records and is considered part of the Horrorcore music genre.
The song was written by Marshall Mathers, Dido Armstrong, and Paul Herman, with the production of The 45 King and Eminem.
The story behind the famous lyrics is about someone called Stanly Mitchell, who claims to be Eminem’s biggest fan.
The person writes Eminem some letters, becomes obsessive and also angry when there is no answer from the artist.
After a sad story of the fan, Eminem tries to reason with the guy by responding to him with a letter.
The music video made for Stan was directed by Dr. Dre together with Philip Atwell and features Devon Sawa as Stan and Dido as the pregnant girlfriend.
We encourage you to play Stan at your piano at home, promising that the melody isn’t that sad as the story itself.
