about
Stephen Randall New York
I'm a Brit living in Brooklyn, NY.
I used to be a professional songwriter, but when I wrote
for other people, I lost touch with the music that was important to me personally. I forgot who I was and what fed my soul. I put down my guitar and keyboard to pursue other adventures. Four years ago I started writing again, but this time, I wrote from my heart and experience and for me.

TIMES
Words and Music Stephen Randall
There were times when I lost everything
There were times when I felt like I was a king
Weary head and weary bones
Fall into my lover's arms
Woah oh I need to lay me down
There were times when I felt like I was at war
There were times when I couldn't hurt no more
Weary head and weary bones
Fall into my lover's arms
Woah oh I need to lay me down
There were times when I had to walk alone
There were times when I couldn't call this home
Weary head and weary bones
Fall into my lover's arms
Woah oh I need to lay me down

THREE DAYS FROM HOME
Words & Music by Stephen Randall
Been away so long
Not the same man no more
Been away so long
Not the same man no more
Time to lay me down
Time to say goodbye
I'm three days from home
Take me home before I die
Oh oh we're coming home
Oh oh we're coming home
Fought for what I love
Fought for what was right
And if I have to fight again
I'll stand up and fight
But please don't send me back
I want to sleep in my own bed
Three days from home
Don't wanna go home dead
Oh oh we're coming home
Oh oh we're coming home
We salute you fallen heroes
We salute you fallen friends
We salute you fallen lovers
We salute you till the end

SNOWFLAKE IN AN AVALANCHE
Words and Music Stephen Randall
A rumble in the distance
A sound that signals
Change is in the air
Avert your gaze now
You’re not alone now
They are everywhere
CHORUS
No snowflake
In an avalanche
Ever feels
Responsible
No snowflake
In an avalanche
Ever feels
Responsible
Can we make it out now
Can we make it in now
Can we make it from here
This is not an option
This is not our freedom
The day we learn is near
CHORUS
No snowflake
In an avalanche
Ever feels
Responsible
No snowflake
In an avalanche
Ever feels
Responsible

KISS OF LIFE
Words and Music Stephen Randall
I don’t want your head
To get too big
But you talked me
Off a ledge tonight
I didn’t want the fire
To burn down the house
I guess I never
Should have set it alight
Well maybe I’m messed up
Maybe I’m not
But I’ve never known
Nothing so right
CHORUS
Won’t you save me
Save me
Put your lips to mine
Let our tongues entwine
I need the kiss of life
I don't want my bed
To feel too big
Won’t you tuck me in
Good and tight?
I dreamed that Elvis
Married us in Vegas
I’d swear
He really was alive
Well maybe I’m messed up
Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’m as
High as a kite
CHORUS
Won’t you save me
Save me
Put your lips to mine
Let our tongues entwine
I need the kiss of life
CHORUS
Won’t you save me
Save me
Won’t you save me
Save me
Put your lips to mine
Let our tongues entwine
I need the kiss of life
Put your lips to mine
Let our tongues entwine
I need the kiss of life

AUDREY HEPBURN
Words & Music by Stephen Randall
Everything about you
Is perfect
Everything about you
Is sublime
My spellbound heart
Replayed you
Bathed in the spotlight
Of time
As I stare
On and on
In the end
You emerge
CHORUS
Hey hey Audrey
Hey hey Audrey
Hey hey Audrey
Everything about you
Is wonderful
Your beauty is
Outside and in
You played
To millions of lovers
You opened your heart
And let us in
You became
An image of
What's remembered
Forever
CHORUS
Hey hey Audrey
Hey hey Audrey

TOO MANY ASSHOLES
Words & Music by Stephen Randall
Too many assholes in this world
Too many assholes in this world
Guess there's a reason why God gave us one
Yes there's a reason why God gave us one
Two eyes to see
Two ears to hear
One mouth to speak
When there's something to say
If not, shut the fuck up
Ooh you little asshole oh
You little Hitler ooh
Ooh you little asshole oh
Too many assholes in this world
Too many assholes in this world
You little Hitler, you power hungry fool
I bet your pay grade is squeezing your balls
Do we make your day
When we fall at your feet?
Does it make you hard
When you sense our defeat?
Ooh you little asshole oh
You little Hitler ooh
Ooh you little asshole oh
Too many assholes in this world
Too many assholes in this world

IN OVER YOUR HEAD
Words & Music by Stephen Randall
Hey there drowning man
Think you had a chance to make dry land?
Think again my friend, think again
Well life just sucked you in
Just like many better men
You chose the wrong path in the end
CHORUS
And you're in over your head
Yes you're in over your head
You're in over your head
Yes you're in over your head
Did you think we’d understand?
Did you have some master plan?
But the game was never yours to win
You followed the sirens’ song
You were weak and they were strong
Was it worth the suffering?
CHORUS
‘Cos you're in over your head
Yes you're in over your head
You're in over your head
Yes you're in over your head
Hey there drowning man
You’re going down for the very last time
You had your day, but now it’s gone
You were good to me
You were the best that you could be
Just not good enough for everyone
CHORUS
You're in over your head
Yes you're in over your head
You're in over your head
Yes you're in over your head

IF I'M DREAMING (I DON’T WANT TO WAKE UP)
Words and Music Stephen Randall
I don’t know how I’m feeling what I’m feeling now
But I’m feeling somehow
That everything will be alright
I don’t care if I’m grinning like a Cheshire cat
This cat got a smile
Like it’s higher than the highest kite
CHORUS
If I am dreaming
I don’t want wake up
If I am dreaming
I don’t want wake up
Well the woman never said no and
What d’ya know, I’m her man
I’m the one who’s in her heart
Well the woman got a heart the size of a house
And every room in that house
Got my name on it
CHORUS
If I am dreaming
I don’t want wake up
If I am dreaming
I don’t want wake up
When she kisses me I feel electricity
Coursing through my veins
Until it makes my beating heart stop
When she touches me she sends me into ecstasy
A blind man could see
And a deaf man could hear a pin drop
CHORUS
If I am dreaming
I don’t want wake up
If I am dreaming
I don’t want wake up
I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to wake up

AGAINST THE TIDE
Words and Music by Stephen Randall
The river is deep
And the river is wide
And all we want
Is on the other side
But the current is strong
And the waves are high
So we will swim
Against the tide
CHORUS
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide
The ebb and flow
That takes our lives
Cast adrift
Or cast aside
Its course may take us
Far and wide
So we will swim
Against the tide
CHORUS
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide
For some a river
Must divide
Where others see
A bridge or guide
And yet it winds
Until it’s dry
So we will swim
Against the tide
CHORUS
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide
We will swim against the tide

WHEN
Words and Music Stephen Randall
When will we find what we need
When will we find what we need
When will always be
Further than it seems to be
But when is destined to be
When will we land safely
When will we land safely
When will always be
Slightly out of reach
But when is destined to be
When will always be
Harder than it should be
But when is destined to be
When will truth lead to sanctuary
(Not soon enough, not soon enough)
When will truth lead to sanctuary
(Not soon enough, not soon enough)
When will always be
Seductive but illusory
But when is destined to be - Track Name: In Their Name

IN THEIR NAME
Words & Music by Stephen Randall
If all our Gods were talking
I’d hope they’d find respect
For their differences and perspective
And wisdom and regrets
As we’ve screwed up their ambition
For this beautiful prospect
But if all our Gods were talking
I'm afraid of what they'd say
I don't think that they'd be smiling
At their garden in decay
At the mindless acts of killing
And the hypocrites that pray
CHORUS
In their name
In their name
All our Gods will be crying
For their children on judgment day
Are all our Gods mistaken?
What in hell did they create?
A world that's full of promise
And a race that’s bent on hate
Why don’t the faithful question
What is done in the name of faith?
CHORUS
In their name
In their name
All our Gods will be crying
For their children on judgment day
If their image was our blueprint
Then where did we go astray?
All the meek are destined to inherit
Are centuries of crusade
And all our Gods will be crying
For their children on judgment day
CHORUS
In their name
In their name
All our Gods will be crying
In their name
In their name
All our Gods will be crying
For their children on judgment day
