Will it ever happen again? Does it happen anywhere anymore? Lockdowns and wokeism .. I was watching Stone Temple Pilots, live, doing Down and it's not even hands in the air .. it's depressing, I feel like freedom is dying ..
Nope. I listened to them sober all the time, as did others. Listened to them drunk too, but still listened to them sober. No drugs necessary.@@BlueBeeMCMLXI
This song always takes me back to the summer of 2013. I'd fucked up my AS Levels and had a cry about it in a park with a friend. Listened to this loudly on the train home. I just remember the feel of the sun on my face and the sense everything was going to be alright. Crazy to think that was almost a decade ago now.
Summer of 1992. Big old house in rural Västra Götaland, Sweden. A hippie community, or rather a circle of friends. KLF, Pixies and Ride on the stereo. Dreaming all kinds of dreams about girls glances and things yet to come. And then this song comes on with the thunder roar and the rain and the smell of moist earth.
All these years later this song still affects me on an emotional and visceral level like nothing else. The 90’s was the best music ever and the depth of lyrics unmatched since then. Looking back at how young they were, the musicianship and production are stunning. Going to see them in Berlin in Nov 2022. What a fantastic full circle that will be
What a beautiful music chiastic structure in your life! I am SO happy you get to do this. I almost did the same with a Weird Al concert, but I decided to save the money instead. Now, had it been Ride, the cash would have undoubtedly dropped. Have a safe and most wonderdul time, and think of us!🤗🙌🙏
I was 18 when the Eps came out - saw them at Bristol Poly, with about another 300 - and then at uni when Nowhere came out. And then finishing uni when this LP came out. Ergo following them round the country as was the habit for many in those days (I slept in Bournemouth train station after a Fanclub gig) and, like you, this sound is emotional, visceral, evocative, powerful... What a time. Everyone says how the era you grew up in is what you say was the best, that 'kids these days...' don't know.... But surely it's true? From about 88-mid 90s had to be the best periods, or at least one of the best given the 60s and late 70s punk times, to be young and into music. Since about 95? Lots of good and great albums but no overwhelming, all consuming 'scene'. Of course a lot of that has to do with the age you were at but, even so.... But back to Ride. Glorious.
yeah same as - also grew up in the 90's UK and was a fan club member - was at the 92 ULU event, then Reading 92 and then last year in Melbourne 🤣🤣just brilliant!
8:17 of pure perfection, one which every current music student should be made to listen and analyse as part of their course: The structure, the tightness, walls of sound pummelling like tsunami waves and Alan Moulder’s production. 0.42 when the guitars kick and 6:57 when they thrash it to bits. The energy is insane. Robert Smith wasn’t wrong when he said Ride played their guitars like chainsaws! This single and its b-side, ‘Grasshopper’, blew everything out of the water when released in Feb 92. It was a landmark moment. I certainly played this to death and was on heavy rotation on my Walkman for many years. Listening to it now, it’s still powerful and has stood the test of time and outlasted a lot of the dross that was circulating in the charts back then. Ride should have followed it up with ‘Cool Your Boots’ as the next single because ‘Twisterella’, no matter how great that was, was completely lost on many fans of their earlier eps. Hindsight…
Wehenever im "depressed" or "blue" I take my bike to the streets and play this on my head... then I feel great again... leaving all my troubles behind. THANK YOU
Ride & Lush toured together in the early 90s. I met Miki in Norman, Oklahoma. She was dating a Flaming Lips member(who went on to create Mercury Rev)...I see where they got their name(Lush), but I saw them in Dallas and it was amazing. Ride was magical and took the audience on a journey. The merch was a t-shirt that simply said Ride Lush Ride Lush...across the bottom of the shirt. I still have it.
I love the smooth velvety textures in Ride's music. Every instrument sounds so right, so tight. Energetic yet laid-back at the same time. Hard to believe this is 21 years old, it sounds so fresh. I kind of think this song is about travelling non-stop, and feeling spaced-out and weary because of it. (which I think is a theme running through the album). Wonderful band, they're not forgotten.
Brand new this band and found them by my older male friend who's always been a fiend for this type of music! Always heard him blasting this song and I finally asked him what it was today. I'm really hoping to get a lot more into this band as time goes by. One if the best melody's and lyrics I've heard on a song for a hot minute! 7/3/24!
Make sure you get the first EP- Ride. It features the best 2 songs ever (in my opinion) Chelsea Girl and Drive Blind. Bought it in 1990, still listening in 2024. Happy listening!
no social media, no smart phones, the Cold War was over and 9/11 was just another date. "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”
First heard this in January 1992 in an "Our price" record store in Essex. Staff played the vinyl 12" at 33rpm, John Peel style; it sounded like a slab of doom rock, and utterly brilliant. When the confused looking part time sales assistant told me it was Ride's new single I was floored... those fey indie kids had apparently grown balls the size of Jupiter. Was rather disappointed when they adjusted the record deck to the correct speed. Still remains one of my favourite songs ever.
I remember listening to this as a 10-year-old kid with my older brother. To me there's something about a lot of great music that makes it feel less like someone wrote it and more like they found it waiting to be played. A lot of the music from Ride seems that way, like it couldn't have worked any other way.
fucking hell ! takes me back ! bell bottoms , curtain haircuts , acid , mushrooms , with a little hint of Hacienda !! Swervedriver too ! shoe gazing was cool !! english indie ruled man .Peace and acid
When the drumming really makes the track. Love everything about this song, but the drummer is godlike. Quite literally perfect. Ah I miss the days of my youth, watching this band in a pub in Windsor, with a couple of hundred spellbound souls. Why isn't there this level of creativity around anymore....
One of the best bands I've ever seen live. Saw them on this tour and the previous with Lush opening. Amazing musicianship that holds up today. Can't wait to see them this month in Seattle!
One of Their finest tunes ever and probably The Shoe Gazers Finest Anthem ,saw em in Barcelona in 1992 and they were outstanding . So so glad they got back together again ,Nowhere has to be my most listened to album and I have a very broad spectrum . Well done n Special Thanks Ride .
AWESOME MUSICAL ESCAPE TO YOUR JOURNEY OF SANCTUARY, USED TO SPIN THIS @ The Twilight Zone Vancouver on Beautiful Vinyl through a Sound System / Delivered 133 dB @ 3' You were IN THE MUSIC !! ... Thank You So Much ..RIDE . For This FOREVER FAVOURITE !
Lyrics: Leave Them All Behind Wheels turning around Into alien grounds Pass through different times Leave them all Behind Just to see We've got so far to go Until we get there Just let it flow Colours shining clear Fading into night Our grasp is broken There's nothing we can do I Don't care about the colours I don't care about the light I don't care about the truth
When you play this song on bass and then and then add andy’s guitar in you notice how they interlock wonderfully. It’s a joy to play as a group and cover this !
well i'd say loveless is pretty psychedelic and it's almost universally regarded as the starting point of shoegaze. but i agree, it's ignorant to label the whole genre as psych
Ride to reform? Gardener: check! (at least he was kinda interested in a recent interview) Bell: check! (after BE he's got nothing else to do now, has he?) Colbert & Queralt: check! (still around, so why not?) Ride sold something like 20,000 albums in 2012 (yes, 2012(!)). So the demand is there! Common guys, make it happen!
My God, this is my anthem. Perfect cacophony, harmonies, just let it flow. It makes me want to get really high and gallop around the countryside on a horse shirtless like Putin. Nah, on a zebra... cause why not step it up to this song? One day zebra I'm gonna mount you and ride you. Mark my words.
Every generation says this. I was in my early twenties when this was released and was looking back at the 60s with envy. It was a great time! But make good with what you have before you.
The greatest thing they ever did, but the rest of the album was a disappointment and they never did anything else to touch Nowhere or the early EPs. Loz kept getting better and better. to see them live now is something to behold, he has become a world class drummer.
The lyrics: Ride - Leave Them All Behind Wheels turning around into alien grounds Pass through different times Leave them all behind Leave them all behind Leave them all behind Leave them all behind Leave them all behind Just to see we've got so far to go Until we get there, just let it flow Just let it flow Just let it flow Just let it flow Just let it flow, just let it flow Ah, ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah Ah Colours shining clear Fading into night Our grasp is broken There's nothing we can do I don't care about the colours I don't care about the light I don't care about the truth I don't care about the truth
I saw Ride play in Oxford in the 90’s and this was the opening song. As they all slowly walked out on stage to the opening notes it was awesome. Added bonus The Boo Radleys were the support act.
Sooo good!!! And 20 years afterwards it still sound so completely unique and fresh. I was blown away when I heard it. I was very much into Velvets and Television so this way right up my alley...
Queralt always had a great bass tone. Fat but with that snarl sound. Always liked it on Taste, Unfamiliar and this track with them all having bass intros…
Wheels turning around into alien grounds Pass through different times, leave them all behind Leave them all behind, leave them all behind Leave them all behind, leave them all behind Just to see we've got so far to go Until we get there, just let it flow Just let it flow, just let it flow Just let it flow, just let it flow Ah, ah-ah Colours shining clear fading into night Our grasp is broken, there's nothing we can do I don't care about the colours I don't care about the light I don't care about the truth I don't care about the truth
The fact that there was a time when tens of thousands of people were rocking out to this song restores my faith in humanity.
Will it ever happen again? Does it happen anywhere anymore? Lockdowns and wokeism .. I was watching Stone Temple Pilots, live, doing Down and it's not even hands in the air .. it's depressing, I feel like freedom is dying ..
@@blucat4 1992 was amazing and don't try knocking woke till you understand
Reading Festival, 1992: they opened with this song and we all went nuts. One of the best gigs of my life.
The drugs. The drugs brought that.
Nope. I listened to them sober all the time, as did others. Listened to them drunk too, but still listened to them sober. No drugs necessary.@@BlueBeeMCMLXI
The early 90's a great time to be a teenager!
Or in your late 30s......
Say it Russians
I agree this then acid then clubbing .high bp these days though at 45
GOD yes!
All of the albums they put out and are still putting out are awesome
Andy Bell's solo album. Check it out.
For me this is Bohemian Rapsohdy of Shoegaze
and dreams burn is down is when the levee breaks
Hah that pretty much nails it!
This is way cooler than Bohemian Rhapsody and I am 67 years old.
Perfect way of putting it
When it came out, it really was. It was showcased on Channel 4's "The Word" show. (UK)
This song always takes me back to the summer of 2013. I'd fucked up my AS Levels and had a cry about it in a park with a friend. Listened to this loudly on the train home.

This version thwacked me across me forehead. Popped me niggin' from behind. This mix straightened my mixed constitution upright.

great effin song.... never, EVER got tired of it.
The ever increasing build of spirals of sound is almost religious. Majestic and exhilarating!!! The Utimate shoegaze track. ❤
I'll second that
Sandra Turner wonderfully put, it's fantastic tune ...and has codes!
I'm uploading a video on my channel right now about it 🤓
we live then we die. I don't care about the colours. I don't care about the truth. or something along those lines
Perfect description.
I think the ultimate shoegaze track would be soon by MBV or something
As brilliant as the band is, Alan Moulder’s production cannot be overstated. What a song!
8:17 of pure perfection, one which every current music student should be made to listen and analyse as part of their course: The structure, the tightness, walls of sound pummelling like tsunami waves and Alan Moulder’s production. 0.42 when the guitars kick and 6:57 when they thrash it to bits.

THANK YOU
@Steve Knight bruh you is de funest person bro you gona win award or some shit
@Steve Knight dam bro they probably mad sus
Grt song grt band in 1992 at there peak when indie music was massive
1:24 That guitar melody is so richly harmonious, I just wanna cry. It's so post-rockingly gorgeous!
totally agree, nice profile pic btw
yep
I can't stand just how good this song is.
Aphex. Nice music taste all round I see 😍
Ahhhh, shoe gaze at its finest.. Wolf Alice must have drawn inspiration..
One of the best opening tracks of all time, huge guitar riffs and an immense bass line too.
One of the best tracks of all time!
I agree and imo in 2024 blows away 99.9 % of new music
One of the 3 best shoegaze era songs. Phenomenal.
Which are the others two???
We will never know!!! @@juancruzsola
Juan Cruz Sola She’s a Superstar by The Verve and To Here Knows When by My Bloody Valentine 👀
Lush - Never Never for sure
Also check La casa sul mare - Sunflowers, Italian shoegaze at its best
LUSH and RIDE!! These two bands changed my life
Pale Saints
For me the 5 bands that changed me were Joy Division, The Chameleons UK, Ride, Sex Pistols, and the Cure.
And Slowdive
Ride & Lush toured together in the early 90s. I met Miki in Norman, Oklahoma. She was dating a Flaming Lips member(who went on to create Mercury Rev)...I see where they got their name(Lush), but I saw them in Dallas and it was amazing. Ride was magical and took the audience on a journey. The merch was a t-shirt that simply said Ride Lush Ride Lush...across the bottom of the shirt. I still have it.
OOOOH! Ride AND Lush...I'm in pure heaven at the thought. 'Bout to make it happen now, Sweetness and Light here I come!
Such a timeless beat. You wouldn't know if this was recorded in 1992 or 2022.
2022
Looks like the joker
Idk. This is distinctly 90's to me.
If you aren't air-guitaring and mouthing the wah-wah solo at about 6.20, I don't know what to say.
Mr Worry yes! All the time. Just completed a song right now! Awesome..
Love the bass most of all!
Wolfdragon92584 Totally agree! I took up playing bass because of this song. Still sounds incredible today
Mr Worry I
Mr Worry All about the Zombie 2 step😎
8 minutes of musical perfection. The way this song is structured is just amazing. God Damn Ride are the best.
I love the smooth velvety textures in Ride's music. Every instrument sounds so right, so tight. Energetic yet laid-back at the same time. Hard to believe this is 21 years old, it sounds so fresh. I kind of think this song is about travelling non-stop, and feeling spaced-out and weary because of it. (which I think is a theme running through the album). Wonderful band, they're not forgotten.
Some great albums and tracks from Ride.
This early stuff always reminds me of cassettes and Sony Walkmans.
Walking the dog along the beach.
Hard to believe this post is now 10 years old and this track is 31 years old! #eek
So a record should ... rot? You are ...oh....
nostalgia and melancholy.
The 4.00 mark. Absolute bliss 30 years after I first heard it. I used to rewind the harmonies at least four times!
Brand new this band and found them by my older male friend who's always been a fiend for this type of music! Always heard him blasting this song and I finally asked him what it was today. I'm really hoping to get a lot more into this band as time goes by. One if the best melody's and lyrics I've heard on a song for a hot minute! 7/3/24!

Almost 9 minutes long and I can still listen to it over and over again. Not a moment wasted.
It's not having to work for 9 minutes. Nothing of purpose.
When Drums Sounded Good on Records!
+David Koval Go listen to Battles.
Go listen to Tesseract
Listen to king gizzard and the lizard wizard
Now you know why the 90s was one of the best ever decades.
no social media, no smart phones, the Cold War was over and 9/11 was just another date.
"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”
Yeah, 1990’s was great.
it was a terrible decade for me personally. poverty, being attacked by a sex predator, getting no justice. its why I'm still so hateful.
@@yaddahaysmarmalite4059 don't blame the entire decade, blame society which stills fails to a large amount of population nowdays.
Favourite Ride song. You can hear the influence of this song on Oasis' early style, especially the guitar riffs.
Yeah....."roll with it" and "champagne supernova"
@@mariosetaro9619 a little bit of the cure also which is never a bad thing

Dunbar I remember Our Price well. And in Essex, no less.
"John Peel style", lol
adjust the playback speed to 0.75 to kinda relive the experience ;-)
Perfect 'driving up a hillside road into the sun, with everything that held you back firmly in the rear-view mirror' vibes 🌞

To me there's something about a lot of great music that makes it feel less like someone wrote it and more like they found it waiting to be played. A lot of the music from Ride seems that way, like it couldn't have worked any other way.
I've discovered my new favorite album.
I rented the debut nowhere from a library in Nottingham for 25p best money I ever spent what a band these songs are timeless
The baseline, the roll drum, the fill in guitar, the riffs, all gave me goosebumps. God I miss the band so much.
You do know they're back, don't you?
Exactly the basslines my ears are craving for.
Amazing song, can't explain the sensations you get when listening to this
Martín Fossaroli -- I agree with you 100 %!! LOVED this album when it came out back in 1992 I think it was when it came out.....still do.....
jeffthrow6892 you are just right! glad to share the feeling
Sensations covers it.
聴いていてこんなに深い安堵を感じる曲は他に無いです。
とても安らかな気持ちになります。作って下さった音楽家の方に、感謝します。
ありがとう。
Dont konw what it means but I agree!! XX
Thee greatest song of alltime by thee greatest band of alltime
This song is best enjoyed loud, in my opinion.
Shoegaze isn't something you listen to quietly. It's best when the sound surrounds and encompasses you.
I couldn't agree more.
When I scrolled by this comment really fast I thought it said "This song is just a little too loud, in my opinion", I just about had a freakout.
i would even say MEGA loud
And stoned!
fucking hell ! takes me back ! bell bottoms , curtain haircuts , acid , mushrooms , with a little hint of Hacienda !! Swervedriver too ! shoe gazing was cool !! english indie ruled man
.Peace and acid
I love this band
Music like this makes me really appreciate how great the 90s were musically in ALL genres.Incredible
When the drumming really makes the track. Love everything about this song, but the drummer is godlike. Quite literally perfect. Ah I miss the days of my youth, watching this band in a pub in Windsor, with a couple of hundred spellbound souls. Why isn't there this level of creativity around anymore....
Loz was a brilliant drummer. He really made the difference to Ride.
The greatest song written, ever!
So glad everyone is sharing the love! I first saw them in 1990. The come back gig has not disappointed.
Thanks RIDE u will not be forgotten
I've left everyone I ever needed to with this epic song...
Amazing shoegaze band, this song got the initial essence of the genre.
One of the best bands I've ever seen live. Saw them on this tour and the previous with Lush opening. Amazing musicianship that holds up today. Can't wait to see them this month in Seattle!
jay whiz Going to see them next month in Dublin
Lush and Ride? after a show like that I could die with no regrets.
"Our grasp is broken,
There's nothing we can do"
(interlude that reminds me of Disintegration-era Cure)
This band creates great music. Glad to have discovered them today. :)
One of Their finest tunes ever and probably The Shoe Gazers Finest Anthem ,saw em in Barcelona in 1992 and they were outstanding . So so glad they got back together again ,Nowhere has to be my most listened to album and I have a very broad spectrum . Well done n Special Thanks Ride .
"Leave them all behind" and "Taste" are my two favorite songs from Ride❤ Terrific band!

Lyrics:
Leave Them All Behind
Wheels turning around
Into alien grounds
Pass through different times
Leave them all Behind
Just to see
We've got so far to go
Until we get there
Just let it flow
Colours shining clear
Fading into night
Our grasp is broken
There's nothing we can do
I Don't care about the colours
I don't care about the light
I don't care about the truth
It's total crap.

The whole of reading 92 was the nuts.... apart from the rain!!!!!
One of their best harmonies throughout a song, amazing!
When I hear those swirling guitars come in at 0:42 I seriously choke up. Sonic perfection.
.. an all time indie anthem x
Ride to reform?
Gardener: check! (at least he was kinda interested in a recent interview)
Bell: check! (after BE he's got nothing else to do now, has he?)
Colbert & Queralt: check! (still around, so why not?)
Ride sold something like 20,000 albums in 2012 (yes, 2012(!)). So the demand is there!

Well it happened.

I'd rather float around on an e-z chair with anti-gravity and let the wind blow me to wherever.
Incredibly lovely x still like this as much as I did 20 years ago
I Wish I was in my 20s at the beginning of the 90s not in the shitty 2020s
Antonio Ferretti you wrote this before it was even 2020
I have to assume you will not reply and are dead for such pretentious arrogance
We had Ride, Lush, Slowdive, Swervedriver, Jane's Addiction, and My Bloody Valentine.

@@Idreallyrathernotthanks It was a good time to be a young person going to gigs. Maybe it is now: I wouldn't know due to being a middle-aged codger.

Or The Cure after a good number of spliffs.
best song intro ever for real
So good. JUST discovered this band, too. Nice. :) :) :)
I'm enjoying this!
Yeah! A classic bit of British indie, can't beat it!
Pure masterpiece.......& that's still an understatement.....

The greatest thing they ever did, but the rest of the album was a disappointment and they never did anything else to touch Nowhere or the early EPs. Loz kept getting better and better. to see them live now is something to behold, he has become a world class drummer.
I thought twisterella was a nice track. Pretty sure it was somewhat of a hit here in Melbourne and was always played on public radio
Best Ride Album! Super awesome for years.
The lyrics:
Ride - Leave Them All Behind
Wheels turning around into alien grounds
Pass through different times
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Just to see we've got so far to go
Until we get there, just let it flow
Just let it flow

Just let it flow
Just let it flow, just let it flow

Ah, ah-ah

Colours shining clear
Fading into night

There's nothing we can do
I don't care about the colours
I don't care about the light
I don't care about the truth
I don't care about the truth
The 90's was a great time to be a kid, yeah I think this came Out around April or May of 1994.
Can someone please tell me?
I swear, this song could quite possibly be my most favorite song of my entire life (and I am old...and I listen to and like lots of styles of music.).
I saw Ride play in Oxford in the 90’s and this was the opening song. As they all slowly walked out on stage to the opening notes it was awesome. Added bonus The Boo Radleys were the support act.
this is the fucking king of skateboarding songs
I was 16 in 1990 couldnt have timed it better
I would like to like this more than once
Beautiful!
Stunned! Never heard them before. . I guess it's never too late.

Ticket came today for May 26th 2015 - and where better to go to extend the brilliance & overall experience than Amsterdam! I'm going back to Uni.
Sooo good!!! And 20 years afterwards it still sound so completely unique and fresh.
I was blown away when I heard it. I was very much into Velvets and Television so this way right up my alley...
And 30 years afterwards. Forever 90s teenager.
8 mins & 17 seconds of sheer brilliance. It doen't get much better than this
No, it really does. You just need to start listening to something different
Queralt always had a great bass tone. Fat but with that snarl sound. Always liked it on Taste, Unfamiliar and this track with them all having bass intros…
...fa ancora effetto ascoltare questa canzone dopo 30 anni!...Pelle d'oca...
Simply most excellent !
Kentish Town and County Club way back…. Good night
this album is still as good as the day i bought it 800000000 years ago......... so f good
it was just the other day.
Wheels turning around into alien grounds
Pass through different times, leave them all behind
Leave them all behind, leave them all behind
Leave them all behind, leave them all behind
Just to see we've got so far to go
Until we get there, just let it flow
Just let it flow, just let it flow
Just let it flow, just let it flow
Ah, ah-ah
Colours shining clear fading into night
Our grasp is broken, there's nothing we can do
I don't care about the colours
I don't care about the light
I don't care about the truth
I don't care about the truth
One of my favourite bands as a youth.
