TRAIN TO ECSTASY
Words and Music Stephen Randall

Love is not a place I know
I think I knew her long ago
But now I want that taste on me
On the train to ecstasy   
 
Let the journey redefine
Leave behind the ties that bind
Savor all that we can find
On the train to ecstasy   

CHORUS
Why don't you sway
And ride with me
Take this train to ecstasy 
Why don't you sway 
And ride with me
Take this train to ecstasy 

Not everything is destiny
Some of it is fantasy yeah
Better that than reality
On the train to ecstasy    

To a damaged heart I plead
You and I deserve relief
You are everything I need
Board the train to ecstasy 

CHORUS
Why don't you sway
And ride with me
Take this train to ecstasy 
Why don't you sway 
And ride with me
Take this train to ecstasy 

Sway and ride with me
You and I deserve relief

I used to write songs for other artists and thought that getting covers was what it was all about. Whenever I heard the end results of what other artists, producers or A&R people would do with my songs, I mostly found it soul destroying, so I allowed myself to I get distracted developing technology - inventing the Stepp digital guitar and founding several startups in mobile and healthcare.  Then about twelve years ago I started writing again and this time I wrote for myself and rediscovered my passion. So here I am, a songwriter again. 

I record on a MacBook Pro using Logic Pro X, and play a Fender Jazzmaster (my current go-to), American Fender Tele, Taylor acoustic, Epiphone Sheraton II Pro, Fender Jazz Bass, Line 6 Variax JTV, Stepp DG1 (of course!), Nord Piano 5/MIDI keyboard, Gretsch Lap Steel and am learning pedal steel on a Sho-Bud Pro pedal steel guitar. 

The Soundcloud community has fostered my motivation for songwriting and music discovery. Thanks for listening - every comment, constructive or otherwise inspires me.

Cheers,

Stephen
