This is Lorelei Loveridge's 'demo' page. It is dedicated to friend and co-writer Elizabeth Ward who passed away on Wednesday, December 19th, 2007 in the morning, her loved ones with her, her daughter holding her hand, and strangers from across the globe holding them all in a circular embrace of love and compassion. Every effort will be made, as promised to Liz before she passed on, to record her music and share it with the world. Peace be upon her and upon us all.

Story behind the song
Written in the heat of the moment (my rage), after my car was broken into in Manchester, England on 29 April 2010 - right before my tour to Scotland for four shows. Recorded on a wee Roland R-1 digital recorder in the living room of Scottish host and artist Peter Michael Rowan. Turned out not so bad, don'tcha think? Lorelei Loveridge - Vox/Acoustic Guitar Zoe Mulford - 5-string Banjo Heather Greenbank - Bass
Lyrics
TAKE ME FOR A RIDE © 2010, Lorelei Loveridge, SOCAN. I thought I was born to climb mountains I thought I was born to fly high I thought I was born to deliver miracles I don't know why I keep thinking I've got to be someone I keep thinking I've got to do something I keep thinking I've got to be somewhere else Well, where the hell am I Going on the road come Tuesday Going to drop my load behind me Going to be wheels on pavement Turning round, turning left and right Cause' I can't keep a straight line I can't keep track of time I can't hold on any longer Baby, take me for a ride Take me Take me For a ride Tell me stories of the good times Tell me all about the bad times Tell me how we got here all messed up And still we're laughing Buddha sat under a tree Jesus never talked to me All the prophets in the world Are dead or in my head I've got to convince myself of something I've got to let go of all or nothing I've got to be positive if there's one thing And I've got to be with you, baby 'Cause I can't do this all alone I'm no hero, I never said I was I can't save a soul if I can't Save my own Baby, take me Baby, take me 'Cause they're taking me For a ride Thieves who plunder Take me under Steal my thunder Leave me wondering Who what when where why 'Cause they're taking me Taking me Taking me For a ride Taking me Taking all I've got inside They're leaving me High and dry I hear your voice They - who are they? Tell me I was born to climb a mountain Tell me I'm already someone Tell me I'm on the road come Tuesday And I'll keep a straight line Cause I'm going to drop my load behind me I'm going to be the wheels on pavement Turning round, turning left and right And take me Take me for a ride Take me And take you with me For a ride Take me Take me for a ride Take me Take me for a ride
