His songs are piano driven with inspiration taken from French impressionistic and electronic music, which blend together to create a sound unlike any sound out there today. The first single “The Thief” (from self-titled) represents the incredible sound Jeremy Larson is able to create through the use of his piano. The song builds up to its climatic ending which captures the true essence and talent of Jeremy Larson.
Jeremy recorded a live DVD called "An Evening with Jeremy Larson and Friends" featuring an orchestra of local musicians and Darren King (Mute Math) as one of 3 percussionists. The DVD will be available as a free download with the album pre-order on Jeremy's online store.

The Thief
Jeremy Larson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one can mend it, you want to pretend it isn't there
There is nothing but dark sky, feels like a far cry
From all of the sunny days before
And all the flowers in the garden are never going to last
And you can runo, or you can bring them back to life
But they are fading fast
There's a girl that's needing the sunrise
And you know she won't rise or open her big brown eyes
'till she feels the light of a new day, or Touch of the sunrays
We Fear that this one may never wake
You stole the sun
And now your solar powered girl is never going to last
And you can run, or you can bring her back to life
But she is fading fast
You can't run forever
You can't run forever
You can't run forever (She's needing to wake now)
You can't run forever (She's needing to wake now)
You stole the sun
And now your solar powered girl is never going to last
And you can run, or you can bring her back to life
But she is fading fast
You stole the sun
And now your solar powered girl is never going to last
(You stole the Sun)
And you can run, or you can bring her back to life
(You stole the sun)
But she is fading fast
The lyrics of Jeremy Larson’s song, “The Thief,” are melancholic and evoke feelings of loss, sadness, and regret. The great big tear in the skyline is a metaphor for the void that the singer feels after losing someone or something important to him. There is no way to mend the tear, and he can’t pretend it doesn’t exist. The dark sky is a far cry from the sunny days before, and the loss of the sun serves as a metaphor for the loss of warmth, comfort, and happiness that the singer once had in his life.
The singer has stolen the sun, and this theft has affected other people and things in his life. The flowers in the garden are fading fast, and there is a girl who needs the sunrise to wake up. The solar-powered girl is a metaphor for someone who relies on the singer for energy, strength or motivation, and this person is now fading away. The repetition of the line “you stole the sun” emphasizes the magnitude of the singer’s mistake, and how it has affected himself and others around him.
At the end of the lyrics, the singer is warned that he cannot run forever. He has to face the consequences of his actions and either bring the things he has lost back to life, or let them go forever. The song paints a poignant picture of someone who has lost something important and is now struggling to find a way to move forward.
