Watch the music video for "I Don't Wanna Stay" by bobbie 17 Feb 2026

"I Don't Wanna Stay" is the final advance single & music video from bobbie's forthcoming album Lessons (out March 6 on Orindal Records).

The music video is a dream-like, ambient video essay directed by bobbie (aka bobbie shuster).

bobbie says:

“I Don’t Wanna Stay” is the final track on “Lessons”. The song has evolved from earlier lo fi recordings to include looping layers of harmony, omnichord trills, wandering guitar riffs, and synth texture. Longing is a reoccurring theme on “Lessons,” and “I Don’t Wanna Stay” has a particular saudade. The song asks are we ready for change? How do we hold our grief, disappointment, and nostalgia?

“I Don’t Wanna Stay” was written by bobbie & produced by bobbie & Felix Walworth (of Florist & Told Slant). "I Don’t Wanna Stay" Engineering by Felix Walworth. Mastering by Josh Bonati.
