Stephen - I Never Stay In Love Stephen 2020-05-01 | I have a dilemma with love. Well, not love, but this limited, distorted idea of love that we worship. Look, maybe in my limited experience I just haven’t met THE person, but i want to propose an idea (it’s not original, im just passing it along.) What if the people and things we love are really just entry points into a state of mind? It’s not that I “love you,” it’s that you help me feel my own love. it seems like being “in-love” is the idea of mistaking someone that opens you up to love, for love itself. YOU ARE THE LOVE. You don’t need to look any farther than your own heart. And the reason I’m frustrated is because every time I’m in a relationship it feels like the other person needs me in order to feel their own love, and then they become so scared of losing me (and therefore love) that they cling too tightly and it pushes me away. We don’t need someone to feel complete, we complete ourselves first and then share our abundance. I still dream of making sacrifices for someone I love, of raising a family, of that selfless commitment, but maybe the reason most marriages end in divorce is because we tried doing it backwards. Food for thought. Enjoy the song.

Stephen - TRACER (Official Lyric Video) Stephen 2020-05-29 | I discovered Overwatch while I was sick with Lyme. At the time there was so much out of my control, and this game was my means of escaping into a world I could control. No matter how bad my symptoms got, I could always flick the game on and lose myself in this competitive fantasy. It became a problem when I started getting better. A year had gone by, I was physically able to get back to my life, but I didn’t want to address how uninspired I was. The game became a compulsive escape from my situation and a means of procrastination. ‘TRACER’ describes my conflict between two parts of myself, the gamer, who enjoys so much being dominant, competitive and escaping into this fantasy world -- and my centered, intuitive self who is unfulfilled and handicapped by gaming and wants more out of life.

Stephen - Man That Ill Miss (Official Audio) Stephen 2018-05-01 | Hey guys,It's Stephen. Today I released a new song called “Man That I’ll Miss.” As a kid, some of my excitement for life came from imagining who I would become, and what colorful adventures I’d be on. Im 26 now. So much happened that I never planned for - both beautiful and scary. And although Im not the perfect man I imagined myself being, i feel like Im so much more. This song is about making the most out of today, about being present and doing your best in this wondrous experience, so that one day you can look back and say “thank you for all those memories.”http://smarturl.it/stephenmissme--Follow me here:Instagram: instagram.com/ithinkimcrashinFacebook: facebook.com/ithinkimcrashinTwitter: twitter.com/ithinkimcrashinSpotify: open.spotify.com/artist/64N1HzkQEXvjlJBQinWeu2?si=nwIpqWcISrqFvr1QZfQbHg Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/artist/stephen/1061435836 SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/ithinkimcrashinYouTube: youtube.com/user/StephenSwartzMusic/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0 Read more of my musings: sincerelystephen.com--Lyrics:All I ever wanted wasTo be the things that I was notWhen I tried to touch the starsMy arms were never long enoughI didn't care, 'cause it felt like I was gettin' thereAll the summer nights that I would stare upAs I wondered what's out thereBut growing up ain't what I thought it would be, nahI'm getting older, I miss the daysWhen there was so much time left to wasteIt isn't over, there's still a chanceThat this is the man that I'll miss, and one day I'll sayCome back to me, come back to meCome back to me, come back to meCome back to me, come back to meIf I still have a childhood wish, make me the man that I'll missIf I wrote a thousand songsI still don't think I'd understandEven if you sang alongLouder than what's in my headI wanna know why it feels so good to be aloneTo be so damn small that I can let goOf the fear that I'm not goodMan, growing up ain't what I thought it would be, nahI'm getting older, I miss the daysWhen there was so much time left to wasteIt isn't over, there's still a chanceThat this is the man that I'll miss, and one day I'll sayCome back to me, come back to meCome back to me, come back to meCome back to me, come back to meIf I still have a childhood wish, make me the man that I'll missThe Devil can fly, what's down belowEverything I need to knowThis is how we find a homeThis is how we find a home, yeahYeah, I don't have to wake upThis is where the fun startsWe are, we areWe are, we areWe are, we areDream on, dream onWe are, we areMm-mm, mm-mm© Halfway House 2018#Stephen #ManThatIllMiss #HalfwayHouse

Stephen - Fly Down (Official Audio) Stephen 2015-10-06 | From my debut album “Sincerely.” Written, performed, produced, mixed, and mastered by Stephen.My album is a story of triumph, of letting go of all the uncertainty in my head and learning to walk the path of my own heart. “Sincerely” is about realizing how much better this world would be if we all loved ourselves, if we weren’t afraid of being vulnerable and honest. It doesn’t matter who’s president or what technology we invent or what extremists we destroy, the only thing I know is this:There will never be peace if we do not all love ourselves.Vinyls:merch.sincerelystephen.comListen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/7aBWUHQtmHKQJU7CM0HFW1Listen on Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/fly-down/1103873707?i=1103874208--Follow me here:Instagram: instagram.com/ithinkimcrashinFacebook: facebook.com/ithinkimcrashinTwitter: twitter.com/ithinkimcrashinSpotify: open.spotify.com/artist/64N1HzkQEXvjlJBQinWeu2?si=nwIpqWcISrqFvr1QZfQbHg Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/artist/stephen/1061435836 SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/ithinkimcrashinYouTube: youtube.com/user/StephenSwartzMusic/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0 Read more of my musings: sincerelystephen.com--Lyrics:Don't tell me that you love meI won't tell you that I love youWe're too high to see the runwayToo far to know the right wayThe truth isI'm freaking out about this wholeMan I'm supposed to beI'm nervous now cause she can't knowI'm desperately in needCause up here's hard to reachFly down, fly downWe were staring down the valleyWhen she put her arm 'round meShe said the reason you've been hurt isSo you look beyond the surfaceThe truth isI'm freaking out about this wholeMan I'm supposed to beI'm nervous now cause she can't knowI'm desperately in needCause up here's hard to reachFly down, fly downFly downDon't tell me that you love meI won't tell you that I love you--©2015 Halfway House Records#Stephen #FlyDown #Sincerely
