Lissie
Elisabeth Corrin Maurus (born November 21, 1982), known as Lissie, is an American folk rock artist and Paste magazine's No. 1 best new solo artist of 2010. She released her debut EP, "Why You Runnin'", in November 2009. Her debut album, Catching a Tiger, was released in June 2010.
Early life
Lissie was born Elisabeth Corrin Maurus, and raised in Rock Island, Illinois. Her father is a physician and her mother is an interior designer. She has some Scandinavian ancestry. She was interested in singing and music from an early age. She played the title role of the musical Annie at the age of nine. "In high school it seems like everyone has more drama than any other time in their life. So that was the time in my life where I really leaned on music as a way to stay sane," she said in an interview.
In her senior year of high school, she was expelled over what she described as "something stupid that I did, but it was sort of like the culmination of just a lot of negative things that had happened". She got her diploma at an alternative outreach center. She spent two years at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, during which time she would open for musicians who visited the city. She collaborated with DJ Harry of SCI Fidelity Records on the song "All My Life", which was featured on television shows House, The O.C., Veronica Mars and Wildfire. After spending a semester in Paris, she finished her studies to pursue a career in music. In 2007, she produced a four-song EP that received some airplay on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic.

Why You Runnin' - EP
by: LissieOh, what a gray and hopeless day
I've got a worried mind
The sun's behind the clouds again
And so am I
I ask the sky
Tell me which way to go, how will I know to shine
again?
I've been here before, I've seen it all
And I can't take no more, I mean it
I'll go
And this is the time, the time to change my life
Yeah these are the times reaching up to find
A window out of doom and doubt
A remedy for agony or ???
I've been here before, I've seen it all
And I can't take no more, I mean it
I'll go
You heard it all and more, I beat it and took hold
And these are the times, time to change my life
Yeah these are the times reaching up to find
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I took the wrong way home
Whoa-oh-oh
I took the wrong way home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
I took the wrong way home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I've been here before, I've seen it all
I can't take no more, I mean it
I'll go
What's this screaming for?
And this is the time, the time to change my life
Yeah these are the times, reaching up to find
Reaching up to find
Reaching up to find
Reaching up
Reaching up
Reaching up
