Radioactive (Imagine Dragons cover)

There there, babe, don't cry
I'm leaving you with a smile
This is all I am: I'm temporary,
Just one drop
Falling from "how and why"
To "when and with whom shall I shine?"

So hold on tight
Don't let go tonight
And I will love you and lead you so right

Then on my way, I'll pause,
Turn around, and sigh
This is all I am: I'm evaporating again
Always on the rise
Melt away and return as rain
When the sunlight breaks branches
Swallow me up or send me along singin' -

Hold on tight...

Temporary

My first and only EP to date. The term "Brain Shrimp" was originally a play on brine shrimp, which is an organism that has undergone little change since the triassic period. "Brine Shrimp" was suggested by a good friend as a song name for the title track, which was, at the time, the catchiest song I had written, adhering to many pop music conventions...which have undergone little change over the course of the years.

Paranoia

Lyrics:
"Well, I've had it up to here. You assert so much shit I can't bear. For for a while, I bought all of it, but all you do is run your mouth of lies.

You are at once silent, and I am suffering looking at you in the eye, my old friend. And I'd like to believe you once more.

Ten thousand times you've told a lie, and I forgave you. But I'm sick of it all. I should cut you out like cancer."

Once More

This is a track I did back in '09 with my metal band in Boston. We were called Horcrux, and it was awesome.

Another ambient spontaneously-composed piece.

Pieces, Light, Oh My

Born in St. Louis, grown in Chattanooga, then aged in Boston bourbon barrels for four years, Steven Hopkins is a diverse musician. As an artist, he blends rhythm and texture to create a lush sonic landscape. His unique approach to singing channels the most potent contents of the psyche and will leave you wondering, "How does that not screw up your voice?"
