One of their most underrated tracks. It’s a shimmery summer slice of pop perfection. Brings back nothing but beautiful memories of Oklahoma summers. No school. Just driving in my beat up car, heading to Dallas to see them with Lush. Just a pure good thing.
because that's not rock, that's shoegaze and they're actually pretty famous in their genre, but yeah, not as famous as the beatles or the rolling stones that everyone knows even people that are not rock fans, not sure why tho
nah.... they're pretty rated. Boo Radleys, All the Saints, Pale Saints, This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Jeff Buckley all more under rated than Ride. idk. They had a good run! I collected 3 eps when i was a kid in 91. Lost them all, somehow. So glad i can find the songs here
Would you keep a room in your house empty and with the door locked incase one day someone wanted to stay their and tried to get in? I don't think so. If you wanted a guest, you would make the room nice inside and the door would be open. This room is your heart. The experience that you have described is clearly very painful and hurtful. These feelings will last, but they will also diminish if you try to keep that room in good condition for other people.
such bullshit. if it didnt work it just didnt work. loving someone is not something rational. I would love a guy so open about his feelings, such rare creatures. I dont belive somebody who really loved someone could put it in the past. It wasnt love. same goes for somebody who left you back. move on and realize it wasnt true love.
I used to sing this to my son to get him to sleep at night. The song is love. Pure and simple. I found the song on a Sire music sample CD called "Just Say Yes" or it was "Just Say Da", it's been so long I don't remember the title. My friends and I started a band and used The Cure and Ride as our muse. I miss feeling music. Not just listening to it, but FEELING it.
Thank you Alan Mcgee. Thank you creation family for changing my life in so many ways from 1990-1998 I was transfixed and transformed never to be the same again.
I get you. I remember around 1996 I was rearranging my CDs and noticed that a huge amount of my favourites (then and now) were on Creation (Ride, MBV, Boo Radley's, early JAMC, early Oasis etc). What a label!
Liam Evans You forgot Slowdive, their album may not earn good reviews back then, but now they are true masterpieces and benchmark of the dream pop genre.
I remember being in Churchill, Manitoba one summer, I went on a bike ride during a sunny day, played my music on my headphones and went up to this hill overlooking the whole town and the coastline while this song started playing, one of the most peaceful moments I’ve had.
Wild being in churchill Manitoba as it is, even more wild of a tale considering there’s probably literally nobody who listened to ride in Churchill Manitoba 😂 next you gotta listen to polar bear by ride while watching polar bears in Churchill Manitoba 👍
This song, right here. My God... I used to listen to this with the top of my head pushed up against the boombox, eyes closed, and just... get lost. So good. So many incredible memories of the early 90's. I was a fool, I was young, I was in love. Man, life is AWESOME.
it takes 3 minutes for this masterpiece to be uveilled when the drums get in and then another minute before distortion makes it gigantic. after 5 minutes it becomes the greatest rock track you have heard.
Oh quit being so prissy now the entire essence of the record is just simply embellished with magnificence and a unique enveloping magic which is undeniably woven together by each track. Perhaps the tracks could have been divided in half as parts I&II akin to chapters in a novel. I see the album or at least the second half as a story book of yearning for a long lost drifting love sequestered out at sea under a deep blue sky as the cover compels me to daydream.
Which one were you at? I was at both in NYC, Webster Hall and Brooklyn Steel. Was SO much fun! The Charlatans were good at both shows too, but... RIDE! Just awesome!
@@londonguy73 also closes the EP perfectly, as Vapour Trail does the album. I never liked The Fall EP but listening to Nowhere and then the Today Forever EP is just heaven. this is the best closing song
This track would sound great in a David Lynch movie. Especially the last couple of minutes where it goes really trippy. I imagine some seedy club with all those Lynchian colours and atmospheres happening on screen. Some scene from Fire walk With Me or Lost Highway maybe.
I would say that Shoegaze itself is underrated. People who never got into it or have never heard of it simply don't know what they're missing. This is some of the most beautiful music ever written. Tell your friends!
Great ending to an amazing album! I really enjoyed Ride's sound, it's like a different perspective on shoegaze, it's more alt rock like and closer to britpop. They're full of energy, nice melodies, outstanding drummings and beautiful guitar tones.
Shoegaze is a marketing term dreamed up by a bored homosexual trying to sell records to junior high school girls. Can you read beyond Grade 8 level? Because you have been taken in by an agent of sub-morons.
@@lightmetamorphosis You're obviously not from the UK. Circa 90/91 MBV, Ride, Slowdive, Lush, Pale Saints, Boo Radleys, Chapterhouse etc etc. Everybody knew it as shoegaze. Good times.
Darkness, sin and death induces misery. Turn from sin and trust Jesus. He lived the life you couldn't in perfect obedience to Gods law. He took the punishment, willingly for your sin, as fully God and man. Raised from the dead, defeating death. Life is in Him and at In His presence is fullness of joy forevermore.
Yeah, in America in the 90s there was Nirvana, Oasis, and Alternative Rock music being played on the radio. It was only till my early 20s that I found the music genre I should have been listening to all along. Those popular bands got old, but 90s uk shoegaze bands will never cease to amaze me.
Reminds me so much of being 21 in '90 and looking equally as young and playing Rickenbackers in student bands - these guys were simply awesome and a others have said, seriously underrated... Loved it then, love it now 30 years later
I just realized why I love these guys cuz they picked up where echo and the bunnymen left off with unfinished business, these guys took it to another level!
You know this is a great Ride song because Andy Bell stares blankly. And Loz Colbert is the greatest drummer ever. And Steve Queralt the greatest bassist. Period.
What blows me away from Ride and say Slint is how young they were when they made their mark on so many bands going today from Mogwai, Slowdive, just lads man!
Some of the most iconic albums ever were made by really young people and it's unbelievable, I'll never get over Ian Curtis and the rest of joy division being 22-23 when making Unknown Pleasures
@@T-------- Oh dude! I hear ya, Ian Curtis, was what, 21 or 22, when he wrote Love Will Tear Us Apart. With the deep introspection in his lyrics showed signs of years of wisdom and influence. But no, he always had it, a totally anomaly, like Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, to name a They're very few and so ethereal. The one foot in the Grave colloquialism.
Andy Bell is one of the best songwriters of his era, always will be. But i could never understand how he turned into the shoegazing version of Mick Jones (Foreigner) i.e. "I write the songs so I will be the front guy." Here he doesn't even sing the lead vocals, it's Gardener's voice with an echo-chamber Andy Bell in the background but he mimes Gardener's lines. This eventually destroyed the band first time around, I mean Andy Bell IS Ride but he never needed to be the frontman. Glad they are back though!
Anyone who thinks that Mark Gardener has been little more than a second fiddle to Andy Bell and doesn't realize just how much of Gardener's songwriting made this band so amazing hasn't listened to their music enough.
One of their most underrated tracks. It’s a shimmery summer slice of pop perfection. Brings back nothing but beautiful memories of Oklahoma summers. No school. Just driving in my beat up car, heading to Dallas to see them with Lush. Just a pure good thing.
Cool, man. Good memory nicely rendered.
Awesome

Also, shout-out from Sallisaw and Nicut!
Saw them in Detroit on the same tour!! Those were fantastic times.
These guys are the most underrated band in the history of rock music
Eli Braden that's shoegaze
because that's not rock, that's shoegaze and they're actually pretty famous in their genre, but yeah, not as famous as the beatles or the rolling stones that everyone knows even people that are not rock fans, not sure why tho

Eli Braden and Spacemen 3
The Real People fans disagree
Seriously give them a listen, they influenced Oasis
UK had the best alternative rock bands!!
Ride are actually Mesopotamian! Pretty sure the Akkadian language put out the tightest beats.....
Thank God for being teenager in the 1990s and growing up on good music.
I thank God all the time for that. We were BLESSED :)
💯
One of Ride’s most beautiful songs and they have a lot of them
This song helped me (finally) put someone in the past and get on with my life. Can't say anymore than thank you RIDE.

infaride I'm revisiting this band after some time away and this song is having the same affect! letting go of the past. ready to embrace the future.
infaride I'd rather keep the room...

One of the best songs of the 90s
Thanks to The Ride. Songs like this one made the world a better place to live in. Fresh even after so many years. Absolute love from Italy
I love how this song doesn't want to end.
Masterpiece from Ride

These guys knew that Shoegazing was 80% in the songwriting, 20% in the sounds/effects. The songwriting is the key to great Shoegaze style music
You absolutely spot on. That's why I love Ride and Catherine Wheel - they knew how to write actually good song, not just bunch of noisy effects.
They balanced noise and melody perfectly
@@herbertrichard614 You must be fun at parties. Triggered much?
It was at least 20% the hair.
How it should be. The songs need to be shoegaze anyone can buy a string of pedals
it takes 3 minutes for this masterpiece to be uveilled when the drums get in and then another minute before distortion makes it gigantic. after 5 minutes it becomes the greatest rock track you have heard.
omg after reading your comment i noticed about the drums in min 3. was amazing. would love to hear this on a live concert.
It is a slow and deliberate build. Just beautiful.
Their best song. Know most people prefer Vapour Trail which is also a good song, but this one is so beautiful
Grasshopper or Leave Them all Behind is their best
@@RyanWSi Yeh leave them all behind is epic.

@@MysTeri0usMatT7 well said
@@RyanWSi i totally agree with those two,but i would add 'decay' and dreams burn down'.
Seeing them tomorrow night in NYC!!! I'll be in my Music Time Machine...and loving every.moment!!!

@@jonwagner4360 Webster Hall
@@lisalu664 I hope they'll be back again before too long. Will see them every time they're back in the NYC area.
Absolutely love this song, from a hugely underrated EP. Bought it the day it came out.
If there is an afterlife, I hope it sounds like this. Forever.
Ride is simply fantastic! Always a fan since 1991
The Best Indie Shoegaze Band in the world & will ever be FACT…👌👌👌👌
🔥🔥🔥
Shoegaze at its best. Always loved this band!
Haven't seen this vid in decades. My God, they were kids when they wrote this!
What an amazing way to end a masterpiece of an album! This is where Ride really embraced their "inner Glenn Branca".
wasnt originally on the album either, they added the EP tracks to the re-issue.
@@londonguy73 also closes the EP perfectly, as Vapour Trail does the album. I never liked The Fall EP but listening to Nowhere and then the Today Forever EP is just heaven. this is the best closing song
One of my favorite Ride songs of all time.
who would dislike this? it's such a beautiful song
12 jerks.
Slowdive is a better Shoegaze band, this is a simpel song.
@@wijtweeun Agree. My church organist puts together better compositions.
Not my type of song. Don't blame anyone for having different taste
This track would sound great in a David Lynch movie. Especially the last couple of minutes where it goes really trippy. I imagine some seedy club with all those Lynchian colours and atmospheres happening on screen. Some scene from Fire walk With Me or Lost Highway maybe.
Oh, what a band. I've loved you for ages
Absolutely timeless, I am having the best time going back to the music I was listening to 30 odd years ago.
My dog, my weed and this song is all I needed!
@Arne Nilsen bad trip dude? 🤣
Ride were on a completely different level than other bands at this time.
Definitely, they had that sound (have ) that draws you in
And in a "Different Place" too
@@guyneeve9365 They were Nowhere actually
Not any better than Chapterhouse...
This sound transcends a lot of things and leaves me peaceful
My god --- what a great band and 90's time-capsule!!!!!
:)))
I've never heard this before. Wow! That was more exciting than movies I have paid good money to see.
Wake up see the sun
What's done is done
Today
Last thing I remember
I don't know
I want her, I don't want her
I need her, I don't need her
Today
Thank!!!

lovely but heartbreaking
Love that drum coming in at @2:57 ❤❤

Saw ride last week and they are still magnificent.

in the UK the album ended after only 8 tracks with Vapour Trail and this came out later on an e.p.
It is so hard to make those open chords sound so pretty. That is true talent! Reminds me of the Church.
Proper shoegaze. Good stuff
one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard, I wish I'd been a teen in the 90's when the shoegaze scene was big :(

shoegaze is bigger than it ever was right now because of the internet. (late reply I know)
Back then we just called it indie or space rock, alternative. Most people didn't know it as shoegaze.
@@lightmetamorphosis You're obviously not from the UK. Circa 90/91 MBV, Ride, Slowdive, Lush, Pale Saints, Boo Radleys, Chapterhouse etc etc. Everybody knew it as shoegaze. Good times.

Total Quality ,Love Nowhere so much ,musta played a million times ,Thanks Ride ,saw you play in Barcelona in 1992 ,when the Olympics were held there .
Some people do yoga and meditation but i only hear this song and i feel conected with God.
That's so nice.
The Today Forever e.p is a beautiful thing, really is x
I'm here because of Oasis ... I like it . We didnt get much shoegazing coverage over here in the states in the early 90's
Love this band's music & the way they connect with their fans. So happy I saw them live last year. 🌹🎸
I really, really love these guys. A few weeks ago they were in The Paradiso Amsterdam en they were absolutely brilliant. Magic.

Timeless tune.

For some reason never heard this one! Thanks for posting!
Aww...look at these wee babes. Forever a beautiful, perfect song.
DJ! É esse som !!! Ride...Uhul l...Melhor música!
These were one of my favourite band's very early 90's , still have a listen Great band !
am into all sorts of music from punk tae rock tae jungle tae blah blah but Ride are one of those stand out bands. 💚
This song brings tears…
I can smell the beautiful scent of my ex-girlfriend from long ago. This brings back so many memories. Thank you, Ride. ANDY!!!!!
best ever acid experience with this song and video, ride were amazing in this period
What a nice jangly tone..
How young and adorable Andy looks.
A talented musician, was totally wasted on bass in oasis
Beth Great In Beady Eye though...
I just realized why I love these guys cuz they picked up where echo and the bunnymen left off with unfinished business, these guys took it to another level!
This band was powerful 🔥
Hermoso! no hay otra palabra para describir este track monumental

No love for mark? Lol
@@funni150 On the contrary, my friend. On the contrary.
Alucinante esta canción de RIDE; entro en un trance hipnótico con esto. me eleva a los santos cielos, ojalá me quedara perdido por allí.
Beauty in all senses.
Absolute pearler of a tune....
The best song to listen to under the stars at night... I am in awe of it
Andy looks so chill in this video; meanwhile he's playing three lead guitar parts in the background...
Awesome song. I like to think Loz the drummer was taking a dump when they started and then joined in 3 mins in when he'd settled back in the studio!
Today I wake up sober pure n clean the Son has risen in my heart n my Father tells me I'm not alone on this journey 🙏....it's gonna be a good Ride
Fuuuuck. When i put on the shiny noo CD ep of this when it came out-- pretty well BLEW MY LITTLE MIND- still have not recovered- what a ride ;)
This is amazing!
😍😍😍
this song is perfect. I bought this on cassette in Melbourne and play it in my 1990s Mazda

Funny cause I always saw Gardener as more of the center figure of the group
I don't care it seems to me this band always had two frontmen.Both contribute vocally so no fuss
Completely marvellous.
so meditative and spiritual in a way!
Mark gardener, ladies and gentlemen
すごくかっこいい。

めちゃかこいだすぬ
いいすね。

2:54 such cool arrangement kicking in
Andy is so cute
Shoegaze perfection.
The most underrated band ever... deeply sad :"(
Shoegaze kings, ladies and gentlemen!
This is amazing!
saw them in Toronto last night...the classic çoncert dilemma the band wants to promote the new stuff us fans want to hear the old stuff.
Big fan of this group. I love shoegazing!
Just put this EP on as my turntable is restored. The great wall of sound that is RIDE.
