*** NEW YORK LADY LYRICS ***
New York Lady
I like the way she walks
I dig her city talk
I like the way she moves her vibration so smooth
She know how to live and she know how to love
Know when to bend and-a when to shove
She love her champagne and she never complains, WHAT?
Dance to dawn and party on
Know when to hug me and she know when to kiss
Know when to purr and when to hiss
She's my New York Lady
My New York Lady
She's free wild and crazy
a-my New York Lady
She know the city street and she know the back alley
Know where she's goin’ and she don't like to dally
Know when she right and she know when she wrong
a dig the odds and I know a good song
I love her leather pants and her purple feather earring
She go with it tonight ‘cause it gives her good feelin’
Knows what she wants and she gets her own way
Knows when to listen and what to say
She's my New York Lady
My New York Lady
She's free wild and crazy
a-my New York Lady
(Instrumental)
She like her ride-a furious and a-fast
And she never nervous to-a take a chance
She live-a for today, she realizes tomorrow
Never feels guilty and a-never knows sorrow
Her style may change but she stay the same
Just-a looking for some action and a bit of fame
She's got connections with the heavies in town
She fulfills my needs with no best sound
She's my New York Lady
My New York Lady
She's free wild and crazy
My New York Lady
She's my New York Lady
a-my New York Lady
She's free wild and crazy
a-my New… York… Lady

*** 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)

*** 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

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
