Eddie began uploading hushed, forlorn covers of pop hits accompanied by an 808 and an old Casio M T-45 that a friend bought him for $2. Lontalius's buoyant take on Yung Lean's "Gatorade" found a big fan in Canadian producer/DJ Ryan Hemsworth, with Lontalius's voice gracing Hemsworth's "Walk Me Home". During 2010-2015 he often worked with Papaiti Records and recorded and performed with Taylor Groves, Miles Sutton (Tuff Wizard) and sometimes Daniel MacBride (Sheep, Dog & Wolf). "All I have" was recorded with Om'Mas Keith (producer for Frank Ocean, John Legend, Jay-Z) and Jim Fairchild (of Modest Mouse and Grandaddy).
Eddie has been making dance music as Race Banyon in parallel to Lontalius.

Lontalius Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I won't ask for much this time, but I've been hearing it yell
That I won't tell
It was stupid for me to hide, and you to feel it as well
But I won't tell
And I won't ask for much this time, but I've been hearing it yell
That I won't tell
It was stupid for me to hide, and you to feel it as well
Because boy I know, ooh I know
That your eyes still glow
You're not on my mind
But I'm the foolish kind
And your eyes still glow
'Cause boy I know, ooh I know
That your eyes still glow
You're not on my mind
But I'm the foolish kind
And your eyes still glow
I won't tell
And I won't ask for much this time, but I've been hearing it yell
That I won't tell
It was stupid for me to hide, and you to feel it as well
But I won't tell
But it's easy to forget how much you made me feel
But I won't tell
But it's easy to forget how much you won't make it well
'Cause boy I know, ooh I know
That your eyes still glow
You're not on my mind
But I'm the foolish kind
And your eyes still glow
'Cause boy I know, ooh I know
That your eyes still glow
You're not on my mind
But I'm the foolish kind
And your eyes still glow
In Lontalius's song, "Glow," the singer is wrestling with their feelings towards someone from their past. The singer begins by stating that they will not reveal their thoughts and emotions towards this person nor will they demand much from them. However, the singer admits that they have been hearing their feelings towards this person persistently, despite their intentions to keep them hidden. The singer acknowledges that it was unwise to conceal their feelings, especially considering the person they were hiding them from felt them as well.
Throughout the song, the singer mentions the simple fact that the person's "eyes still glow," indicating that they still hold a certain spark or allure. This notion is repeated several times in the chorus, and the singer acknowledges that they are aware of this. Despite acknowledging that this person is not at the forefront of their mind, the singer admits that they are still drawn to them in some way, and perhaps somewhat foolishly so.
In essence, "Glow" is an introspective song that explores the intricacies of feelings and the difficulty of letting go of someone from the past while still acknowledging the lingering attraction. It's a song that strikes a chord with many listeners who have experienced a similar situation.

I won't tell
I won't disclose my feelings about you
And I won't ask for much this time, but I've been hearing it yell
I don't expect anything in return but my emotions are getting louder
That I won't tell
I won't confess my love to you
It was stupid for me to hide, and you to feel it as well
It was foolish of me to keep my feelings hidden and for you to sense them too
'Cause boy I know, ooh I know
I'm aware that
That your eyes still glow
you still have feelings for me
You're not on my mind
I'm not thinking about you
But I'm the foolish kind
but I'm still not over you
But it's easy to forget how much you made me feel
I tend to forget how much you once mattered to me
But I won't tell
But I still won't admit it to you
