Runaway Train To Heaven
Most people are familiar with the heady and intoxicating feeling of falling in love, but finding a true soulmate is a dream that less are fortunate enough to experience. This song is all about that latter, precious experience, and so its decadently cinematic sound is designed to sweep you off your feet! Laced with old school Hollywood glamour and a touch of fantasy adventure, one is also put in mind of movies like Martin Scorsese’s ‘Hugo’ and Walt Disney’s ‘The Chronicles Of Narnia’. Musically speaking, this single sits firmly in the Contemporary Classical genre but sounds very much as if it belongs to the soundtrack of a fantasy adventure movie as well.
Sparks ignite the flame
That burns me in his sacred name
And I know this is not a game
There’s far too much at stake
I’m on a runaway train to heaven
Getting in at half-past eleven
And I feel all at sixes and sevens
On a runaway train
Love is brave in the dark
It creeps through your aching heart
And leaves its calling card
A forget-me-not when we’re apart
On a runaway train to heaven
Getting in at half-past eleven
And I feel all at sixes and sevens
On a runaway train
At full steam ahead
Needles in the red
Furnace breathing fire
Speed rising higher and higher
Flying along the track
No more looking back
Next stop is Cloud Nine
At the end of the line
So close, almost there
Wind whips through my hair
Heading upward now
So high I’ll never come down
I’m on a runaway train to heaven
Getting in at half-past eleven
And I feel all at sixes and sevens
On a runaway train
