2024 and I still need to come back here to listen to really good music, this guy never disappoints, it's very sad that he He never received due recognition for his incredible work, he would easily be one of the top spots on the billboard, all the love and affection here in Brazil, we will always be with you, you are the best!
This song kills me on the inside every damn time man. *MY INTERPRETATION* This is a song about a lover whom he deeply connected with and abruptly decided to end things with him. This song expresses his hurt about it. Even the cover art *_cough cough don't look at boobs cough_* expresses some sort of intimacy between the two. "Don't tell me that you love me. I won't tell you that I love you." is just him trying to cope with her loss by saying that he doesn't need her but the line "I'm desperately in need" reveals that he needs her. 1:08 is the depiction of how there are still echoes of thoughts of her in his mind. "Once you had seen your own way. Once you thought you knew the right way." shows that it was her that broke up with him. "But the truth is: I'm freakin' out about this whole. Man I'm supposed to be." shows that hos whole life revolved her and isn't able to make the transition into being single. "I'm nervous now 'cause she can't know, I'm desperately in need, 'Cause uphill's hard to reach. Fly down," He's torn between having the decision to make between making things right with her or moving on without her, but eventually decides that he must reconnect and have her at his side no matter what and DAMN THE CONSEQUENCES! "We were staring down the valley when she put her arm around me. She said the reason you've been hurtin's: So you look beat on the surface." He further expresses his pain of losing her by recounting one incident that showed how deeply they connected with each other and how much they loved each other. Damn, I haven't overanalyzed anything this much since a book review I did in 3rd grade. Beautiful song, Stephen. I hope one day, I come back to this song in like the 2050s and its still as painfuland epotional to me then.
i love how your music is carefully build with harmonic pieces, combining classic elements with modern music. You are making your own symphonies. also thumbs up to how much feeling you bring into it all. I think people can really tell how much work you put into it, especially the more one listens to the songs and noticed all the small detail.
This song really hits home. The lyrics are beautiful. I've been feeling so much pressure to live up to certain expectations lately and this helps me cope. Love blasting this with the windows down and belting it out.

I've been seeing your music on alot of other channels that post house/trap music, and the fact that you create these masterpieces all by yourself, it's amazing. You're one of my favourite artists right now and you're probably the most talented musician i've heard in a while. Keep doing you man, you're great.
Stephen + Him + Himself = Music that the entire world needs to listen to. Some people use the phrase "you need Jesus", but I say "you need Stephen Swartz". Please make this man famous.
+Stephen dude your music is some of the best and most original I have ever heard in my life and I listen to music from all over the world. Are you even a signed artist??!! Are u famous at all?? Like this is beyond professional art my friend. Youre up there, please give us more
You got me right in the heart with this song bro. I'd love to discuss music with you. I'm producing some tracks at my appartment too, started a few months ago but working hard every day !! You're a true inspiration !
Majestic Casual uploaded this tonight and I decided to put this on when I went to bed. Wow dude. Just.. incredibly good. I hope to hear more of you soon :)
Stephen one thing we have in common is our taste in creating music, I didn't even know you before I stumbled upon Remembering Myself and that moment when you find someone with the same taste is music is stellar, keep at it dude and some day you'll see my music
dude don't know if you'll ever see this but your music is excellent and I love the message you send in most of your song every one has been a hit in my book now to the question I wanted to ask you is what the true key to musical success and is it really attainable by hard work or is it a talent thing then again you probably won't see this but I hope you do
Wow, you're great at singing, and making music! I love the work that you've been doing, man! Thank you so much for giving us amazing music to listen to!
Stephen your music is different, inspirational and very relatable. just by listening to the production it is easy to say that you are a very talented artist with an exciting brand of music, and by listening to your lyrics it is clear to see that you are a human being with a vision for a better world ("Crossfire" love that song). Keep making good music brother!!!! Love it
Holy shit this is good ! As a piano player myself I was like, damn these chords get me. And then the beat got on and I got chills and skipped a heartbeat
This makes me imagine a funeral. A woman has died, and out in front, watching from a car, is a man who tried to protect her, but instead was deemed not guilty of her murder. He asked the family permission to attend, but were outraged at his presence and told him to leave and never come back. Bit by bit he recalls in his mind how she died. The men chasing her down the street. Guiding her through a winding alleyway. The rattle of gunfire mere feet away. Fighting. Bleeding. One man left. Both fire at each other. One missed, the other hit. She is safe. Gasping. The bullet didn't miss. Blood, lots of it. Falling into his arms. "I'm sorry". Gasping stops. Gone. A single tear as he recalls her vacant stare. Police arrive. Surround him. Doesn't make any sudden moves. Cuffed behind his back. Shoved into van. Gavel falls. Cleared of all charges. Happy lawyer. Sad client. He bears the same sad, empty look in car. Her family rejected him. Banished. Left alone to grieve. Everyone has left. He exits car and walks over to fresh grave. "I'm sorry too." He rests a single rose against the gravestone, and leaves with the car.
That's the best song that I've ever heard. It's with so many emotions and it's not a song which you can write in 5 minutes it's really amazing. Good job this is my favorite song since I've heard it. Love from Germany.
I'm fighting battles in every walk of life I discovered crossfire while watching "the falling police tribute" , fly down, solid as stone, and crossfire are the best please start back
I love your music. Your voice with every song, even. It goes well in your songs, makes it amazing. I have been a fan of your music for a few months, but I couldn't find any other of your songs. I am great full that I have found your channel, now I can listen to more music. I started listening to your music from a few other channels. "Crossfire" is also an amazing song. You got yourself a new fan, bud. Keep it up!
See, this is music. Lyrics that actually matter. Not the s**t that's viral that all they talk about is boobs, booties, drugs, sex and all that crap. This is talent. Keep up the good work man.
I like how everyone likes Stephen and others like Crywolf, Eden, Jaymes Young, Jon Bellion, Unlike Pluto and more. Just because they have good taste in music. 👌
Your music is incredible, no hate in the comments, my type of music, The drops Are sick, your voice Are chill, your music are damn good, if ya gonna quit, ya child better gonna finish the rest couple of 70 years with Music for me.
+Ale Alonzo "Not that Taylor Swift shit"?? Sir, Taylor Swift was one of the THE BEST country music artists IN THE FUCKING US. So if you're referring to her new music, sure I can agree with the fact that her new music isn't her best work, but it's still better than the fucking shit that plays on radio stations now. Those fucking pop stars singing about drugs and shit. The only radio stations that I feel have decent music is the country music stations. Maybe you're listening to the wrong types of music made by Taylor Swift, but she is definitely not shit. Now don't get me wrong, I love this guy's music, but before you talk SHIT about TAYLOR SWIFT, maybe take a listen at what she used to compose, and maybe you'll see that she was very different before 2014-15. The new Taylor Swift definitely is rather disappointing, but it's still no reason for you to claim that she is shit. She's got a great fanbase, even bigger than the one before she went into pop, which is the sole reason that she went into pop. Stephen has great music, don't get me wrong, but Taylor Swift is amazing, and definitely NOT SHIT.
Everett Huo I get your point, but she reached where she's at because of all the money that she had before even being famous in the industry of music, so, what if Stephen had enouuuuugh money (i don't mean he's poor lol) i mean Taylor Swift had the ways to make her songs famous, Stephen music is way better...for real...lyrics...style...and still it isn't that famous, that's what i'm argumenting...sorry for bad english (not my lenguage)
You're the future of indie, Stephen. All your songs are heavenly. You earned a new fan for life
Petru Schipor hell yeah :)
what about EDEN?!? cant forget EDEN

I can't even express how happy I am you're finally making music again!

He released a song called Bullet Train that was a massive hit years ago, but I hadn't heard from him until this Sincerly album.
Deana Noop but not at this moment
Will you marry me ?? 😘😍

Don't tell me that you love me.
I won't tell you that I love you.
Once you had seen your own way.
Once you thought you knew the right way.
But the truth is:
I'm freakin' out about this whole.
Man I'm supposed to be.
I'm nervous now 'cause she can't know,
I'm desperately in need,
'Cause uphill's hard to reach.
Fly down,
Fly down.
We were staring down the
Valley
When she put her arm a-
Round me
She said the reason you've been hurtin's:
(Oooh)
So you look beat on the surface.
But the truth is:
I'm freakin' out about this whole.
Man I'm supposed to be.
I'm nervous now 'cause she can't know,
I'm desperately in need,
'Cause uphill's hard to reach.
Fly down,
Fly down.
Fly down.
Don't tell me that you love me.
I won't tell you that I love you.
Paco B thank youuuu💕🎶🎤
i think this is wrong but not sure..
Yeah, these are wrong.

|Marismoshit| hell yeah
Maybe it's more complex of an emotion.
Stephen, you are amazing

You're one of my favourite artists right now and you're probably the most talented musician i've heard in a while. Keep doing you man, you're great.
"The truth is.."
"Sincerely..."
I like that, I like that 😻😽
This was the first song, I heard by Stephen. Magical. 🙌🏼👑✨
this song shreds me apart. Everything about it draws you out and forces you to feel it, and I can't help but love it. Thank you.
Stephen + Him + Himself = Music that the entire world needs to listen to. Some people use the phrase "you need Jesus", but I say "you need Stephen Swartz". Please make this man famous.
You got some skills my man. Love your song Crossfire. Keep it going!
I always listen your songs every night and every study break! You have really good timbre and style in all of your songs! Greetings from Turkey!
Oh good he reuploaded it! The first version sounded like it was clipping a bit.
+Stephen dude your music is some of the best and most original I have ever heard in my life and I listen to music from all over the world. Are you even a signed artist??!! Are u famous at all?? Like this is beyond professional art my friend. Youre up there, please give us more
+Faiz Saulat your right he is inspiring and a great artist
But... Clipping's a cool artist...
You got me right in the heart with this song bro. I'd love to discuss music with you. I'm producing some tracks at my appartment too, started a few months ago but working hard every day !!

All i want in life is the second bit of this song again and again and again and again! But damn the whole song is awesome.

stephen, whatever happens, please never stop being a composer! Your feel of the rythm is irrelaceable!!
I was trying to describe this song and then it hit me, its like crying out your heart and then getting thrown into a rave
On point
+rosebud011 thanx fam
you put into words what I could not😂
i think the live version is much better and the video of you doing it makes it better again
I don't think so
+Strange Boy You must be really messed up in the head not to see a artist like this live
THIS IS REAL F*UCKING ART
When you listen to the intro on a loud volume you can hear the physicality of the piano it was played on, nice little detail.
Great song White Dove (gyöngyhajù làny , original)👏
I love this!!!
The piano is beautiful with his voice
Stephen, I love you, I love your voice, I love your music. Thank you for the best moments that your music gave me and made part.
