Stephen Carradini Maynon has a solid control of mid-tempo and minor-key work. Add in the thoughtful arrangement touches throughout, from strings to synths to trumpet, and you’ve got a solid EP of pop songwriting. Favorite track: Vintage Lens.

Vintage Lens 03:13
A vintage lens, it captured you And made me believe that it was true Don't ask me how long I've felt this way And now we're alone, I still can't say I sit in a chair, I sit on the ground I tear out my hair, I jump up and down But words can't explain, so I'll make no sound I look through green glass that litters the shore I take off my mask, I'm outside your door And in the dead of the night, and in a desolate place We're covered in fright, I'm gonna show you my face A vintage lens, it captured you

Why? Despite all my pains, I can't change the way I am. My mind it seldom is my friend. And now inside a blinding light, I'm finally where I want to be, But it's so bright and can you see? I'll try to pay the bills and rent. I hope not all my money's spent. Life's a chaos cloud. Tomorrow I'll try to see the light. By now I'm just too tired tonight to figure it out. But You, You give me something to live for now. Yeah You, You give me something to live for now. My friend, was that the way I looked? The way I looked from here? Within the light it wasn't clear. Forgive my self righteous pursuits But keep an open mind. The light's so bright that I went blind. The woman that I call my own, She's patient with this prodigal son She's a god send now. Thank you, my friend, you cut me slack Because in life there's things you can't take back and I don't know how. But You, You give me something to live for now. Yeah You, You give me something to live for now. And we all want to scream and shout Close all the blinds blot out the day But then one night I figured it out, to see the sun, stand in the shade So now you know, and give it away. You, You give me something to live for Something to live for now. Yeah You, You give me something to live for Something to live for now...

So now the day is done and I am spent The outside smells like cigarettes Like malt liquor spilled on the cement It's like a cheap perfume that's in my head And you insist that I should spend the night You wont let me walk back home in alley light I'm trying to change the subject desperately and we'll discuss Buddhist philosophy Because I never think with my head No I never think with my head You think it's hot I look like Paul Dano? I wasn't trying to cause your heart to stir. I'm not he kind of guy you want to know... I've got the cultural taste of a dot commer! No I never think with my head No I never think with my head And does it come to you so easily? For me it's always been a mystery Thinking... But not with my head Stay the night I've got to find some way out of here because I've got a feeling that this won't end right What seems wrong? Damn these trends of the twenty tens! I can't fish out my car keys! These skinny jeans are too tight! No I never think with my head No I never think with my head And does it come to you so easily? For me it's always been a mystery Thinking... But not with my head.

Sensation 06:09
Standing in a cafe around noon and the lines not moving The radio plays this odd familiar tune as the sun sneaks by Then all at once it's dejavu and I feel so high There's no more doubt. I'll never die. Days like these they seldom finish well because of expectations Thoughts like these they must be written down so they can be saved But I don't want to talk about it, it's too sweet for words It makes so much sense it sounds absurd It's just a sensation, it's not likely to change the nation It's just a sensation when two worlds are one Let me stay a little longer in your grace to make a resolution Give me one more minute studying your face and I can show the world Then once again I lose my cool and I can't drive I'm too scared of death to feel alive It's just a sensation, it's not likely to change the nation It's just a sensation when two worlds are one
