Crash 03:05
CRASH Words and Music Stephen Randall You could break every bone Jumping off a ledge And never hit the ground You could fly close to the sun Melt your pretty wings And fall into my arms Give in to everything Throw caution to wind And crash We could crash (If we need love) We could crash (If we feed love) We could crash (If we heed love) We could crash (If we bleed love) I don't care if we crash Just as long as we Give it our best shot It’s not that we could break It’s just that we should make The most of what we’ve got Give in to everything Throw caution to the wind And crash We could crash (If we need love) We could crash (If we feed love) We could crash (If we heed love) We could crash (If we bleed love)

Slowly 03:26
SLOWLY Words and Music Stephen Randall Shooting stars are falling by A million light beams in the sky Why does the world turn so slowly Suns are burning up tonight But they're still shining oh so bright Why does the world turn so slowly I don't want to wait another day I don't want to wait another day CHORUS Slowly, slowly, slowly Why does the world turn Slowly, slowly, slowly The moon has drawn so close to me I could touch tranquility Why does the world turn so slowly The universe's mysteries Are marked in time and history Why does the world turn so slowly I don't want to wait another day I don't want to wait another day CHORUS Slowly, slowly, slowly Why does the world turn Slowly, slowly, slowly We appear for an atom's death And yet I wait to taste your breath Why does the world turn so slowly © & Ⓟ 2013 Stephen Randall

Scars 03:03
SCARS Music and Words Stephen Randall I am who I am I can’t be any better man The road I took at the start Led me to this path Led me to this path Every turn and choice we make Leaves its trace in the love we take Our souls are seared through the years But yesterday has gone Yesterday has gone CHORUS We are our scars They make you who you are They make you who you are We are our scars They make you who you are They make you who you are To the motherless child Don't be shackled to your pain Believe in what you can do And I'll be right there for you Yeah I'll be right there for you CHORUS We are our scars They make you who you are They make you who you are We are our scars They make you who you are They make you who you are © & Ⓟ 2014 Stephen Randall

THE DEVIL INSIDE Words and Music Stephen Randall The Devil chooses every night An innocent soul to excite And this evening for his game The girl that he would claim Wouldn’t know she had the Devil inside The girl wanted everything right She even wanted to lose it wearing white But she couldn’t understand That the Devil had a plan And tonight was going to be his night CHORUS She had the Devil standing there by her side Smiling 'cos he knew what she liked She had Devil standing there by her side God in her heart But the Devil came along for the ride The satisfaction of the Devil incarnate Was the reaction as he sealed her fate And tonight with added flair He wanted her to swear She looked young but she wasn’t jailbait CHORUS She had the Devil standing there by her side Smiling 'cos he knew what she liked She had Devil standing there by her side God in her heart But the Devil came along for the ride © & Ⓟ 2013 Stephen Randall

Battle 02:29
BATTLE Words And Music Stephen Randall Oh my pride is on the floor And it's hurting where it didn't hurt before And my dreams walked out the door I won the battle but I lost the war If I knew then what I know now I would have backed down gracefully somehow But the warnings I chose to ignore I won the battle but I lost the war Guess I was wrong when I was right Would have been better to concede that fight But now I know so much more I won the battle but I lost the war Guess I was wrong when I was right Would have been better to concede that fight But now I know so much more I won the battle but I lost the war I won the battle but lost the war © & Ⓟ 2013 Stephen Randall

Melt 04:22
MELT Words & Music Stephen Randall You could stand close to me And let that heart of ice melt And when that heart of ice melts You will melt into me Melt What we have is what we could be And what we are is what we were And when that heart of mine breaks You will melt away Melt You are my misery You are my ecstasy You are my agony You are my rhapsody You are my insanity You are my sanctuary You are my tragedy You are my vanity You are my depravity You are my fantasy You are my casualty You are my gravity You will melt into me I will melt into you You will melt into me I will melt into you © & Ⓟ 2012 Stephen Randall

TIN MAN Words and Music by Stephen Randall I’ve been wanting to discover My own yellow brick road Fighting to find myself Hoping to crack the code But I’m not the tin man 'Cos the tin man wanted a heart I’m not the tin man I wouldn't even know where to start CHORUS Oh I know I know Oh I know I know Oh I know I know Oh I know I know I’m not in Kansas anymore I'm nowhere close to home This road has no exits This road goes on and on But I'm not the scarecrow no I don't have his brains I'm not lion no I'm not brave CHORUS Oh I know I know Oh I know I know Oh I know I know Oh I know I know I'm not the tin man © & Ⓟ 2013 Stephen Randall

THE SNOW THAT DECEMBER (WAS BEAUTIFUL AT FIRST) Words and Music Stephen Randall The last leaf of Autumn Drifted to the earth The last leaf of Autumn Drifted to the earth Winter, she was calling With her very first frost The snow that December Was beautiful at first A chill hung in the air And was welcome for a while A chill hung in the air And was welcome for a while The nights grew longer And the days reversed The snow that December Was beautiful at first The snow that December Was beautiful at first The snow that December Was beautiful at first The year that was coming Was possibly our worst But the snow that December Was beautiful at first © & Ⓟ 2013 Stephen Randall

THE BRIEFEST TIME Words & Music by Stephen Randall Your candle shines For the briefest time And when its flame is fading out It leaves its light behind There are no answers And only error in our design Like the candle that shone for you You leave your light behind For the briefest time We knew you For the briefest time But nothing really matters It only lives there in our minds We didn't climb the highest heights We weren't first to cross the line But you never stopped believing You had no reason and no rhyme And you made us what we are today You leave your light behind For the briefest time We knew you For the briefest time For the briefest time We knew you For the briefest time And when the flame was weak And the light was growing dim We seemed to see more clearly then The pain we held within Your candle shines For the briefest time And when its flame is fading out It leaves it's light behind For the briefest time We knew you For the briefest time For the briefest time We knew you For the briefest time © & Ⓟ 2012 Stephen Randall

Naïve 04:33
NAIVE Words & Music by Stephen Randall Am I a fool For having a dream? Believing in alchemy Building my legacy Ignoring reality Living the fantasy Succumbing to vanity Am I the biggest fool you know? CHORUS Oh naïve Why do you give yourself to me? Oh naïve Are you the better man than me? ‘cos I'm still not giving in Oh naïve Am I a fool For playing the game? For leading a strategy Wrestling with gravity Writing my destiny Bleeding so easily And screaming so peacefully Am I the biggest fool you know? CHORUS Oh naïve Why do you give yourself to me? Oh naïve Are you the better man than me? ‘cos I'm still not giving in Oh naïve Am I a fool For staying the course? Armed with audacity Seeking validity Teaching tenacity Living so recklessly Speaking too honestly I must be the biggest fool you know CHORUS Oh naïve Why do you give yourself to me? Oh naïve Are you the better man than me? ‘cos I'm still not giving in Oh naïve © & Ⓟ 2010 Stephen Randall

about

Stephen Randall Henderson, Nevada

I'm a Brit living in Henderson, NV.

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 what music fed my soul. I put down my guitar and keyboard to pursue other adventures. Now I write from my heart and experience and for me.
