Hi there, My name is Armand. I am a Dutch keyboardplayer with a big passion for electronic music. At the age of 5 I started playing the organ in our livingroom but actually decided that drums would be better for me. So I went to a music-school and got 6 years of drums-education. After playing drums in a couple of bands I found out that keyboards are a better instrument for me to express myself, and while playing drums I never gave up playing keyboards. At the same time I got familiar with the music of Jean Michel Jarre and the choice and switch was obvious. I produce trance / techno / electronica music with very much of it's own style... well... you might hear a lot of Jean Michel Jarre and similar music in my productions, but nevertheless always try to maintain a direct and simple approach to my songs... well most of time at least. I also started making instrumental versions of various kinds of songs, among with some cover versions of various tracks. Mail me if you need a soundtrack of a song. They can be delivered in all kinds of formats, keys, etc. Check out my music, drop me a line on the message board and don't forget to vote because your opinion matters!

Story behind the song
Countrymusic has been always a favorite musical style of mine. Especially the up-tempo songs by Travis Tritt. I recently bought a Roland Fantom X8 and decided to make an instrumental/singalong version of this track to put the X8 through it's paces. Tgis has just been a fun project for me goofing around with the X8 while meantime trying to preserve as much the authenticity and exactness of the original. So all you hear comes straight from the Fantom, and I think I turned out quite enjoyable. Hope you enjoy it too!
Lyrics
Well she was born in a north woods town, Twenty-one winters ago And she grew tired of the freezing cold And living in the blinding snow But this girl knew she wouldn't be there long 'Cause she had plans and dreams She'd seen pictures of a sunshine state In the pages of a magazine So she waited them tables and she used her smile Saving every penny she can For a one-way dixie bound Amtrak ticket Headed for the promised land Her momma and daddy begged her not to go When the day she dreamed of came And she waved goodbye sittin' way up high From the window of a southbound train Now she's got a fire burnin' deep inside Ridin' on a southbound train And the clickity-clack of that railroad track Only helps to fan the flames No more worries, no more cares She left them up in Bangor,Maine Now she's startin' a brand new life Ridin' on a southbound train She said, 'Hello sun, good mornin' Daytona You're sure lookin' good to me With your ocean breeze and your tall palm trees And your southern hospitality' Now she's a knockout queenie in her string bikini She's drivin' all the boys insane And this all started with a small town dream And a ticket on a southbound train 'Cause she had a fire burnin' deep inside Ridin' on a southbound train And the clickity-clack of the railroad track Only helped to fan the flames Nor more worries, no more cares She left them up in Bangor, Maine Yeah she likes the boys with a southern drawl Soakin' up the sunshine, havin' a ball She'll be the first to tell you that she owes it all To ridin' on a southbound train
