*** CALM BEFORE THE STORM LYRICS ***

I’ve been to Hell but not to Heaven

It’s a long far road ahead

I kissed the gutter, and felt the storm

And I’ve been lost, inside the swarm

I’ve know the dead, and not the living

I’m sick of caring, sick of giving

I’d lose my mind, if they could take it

I lost my heart, because they broke it

It’s always calm before the storm (x8)

I know the liars, I met the cheats

I know the messy and not the neat

I see them come, I see them go 

Then they crawl back, nice and low

I talk to crazies, and not the sane

At least they’re honest, when in pain

They do their will, and not their want

You think they’re gone, I think they’re smart

It’s always calm before the storm (x8)

You want just sex, not making love

You’re turn to push, my turn to shove

You like to scream, I like the whisper

I’m a toucher, and you’re a hitter

You go beyond, beyond the limit

It would kill me, if I done did it

But I’ll try it, I might just like it

We’ll fall in love, and be committed

It’s always calm before the storm (x8)

♫♫♫♫♫ REVIEWS ♫♫♫♫♫

*** Dave Franklin - Dancing About Architecture ***

Time is an album that hops between many sonic stepping stones, dancing between eras and genres and sounds and styles to build a sound that is unique, fresh and forward thinking and also somehow familiar and easily slipped into existing comfort zones.  MORE

*** Flyah Magazine ***

Maryann Stefanik, a sensational indie songbird from New Jersey and Florida, is making waves in the music industry.  MORE

*** Rebecca Cullen - Stereo Stickman ***

Solid rock rhythms and distorted guitars kick up the pace in an instant, as Maryann Stefanik introduces her nostalgic punk and rock EP TIME.  MORE

*** The Ark Of Music ***

Hailing from New Jersey and Florida, singer/songwriter Maryann Stefanik delivers another collection of rock-leaning tunes with TIME – five songs dancing between various genres, but still conveying that incomparable pseudo-punk, 80s-baked attitude. So, is TIME worth a listen, or perhaps something irrecoverable after pressing “<play>”? Let’s break it down:  MORE

"Playfulness comes to define the 50s dop-wop of Maryann’s “Hips, Lips & Eyes”. From the horns to the jaunty rhythms, the whole thing taps into a party atmosphere. Rollicking forward with a tremendous unhinged spirit it feels absolutely maddening in the best way possible."  skopemag.com

"Passion pours out of Maryann’s heartfelt ode of “Transparent World”. A style reminiscent of the best of early 90s alt-pop, the piece utilizes a clear-eyed take on the world. Galloping forward with incredible intensity, everything about the piece works wonders."  skopemag.com
