This is one of mine and my eldest son's favorite songs, probably because I played it so much. Unfortunately he passed away from cancer 3 months ago, he was only 25. This will song will forever remind me of him.
I'm really sorry for your loss... I can't imagine the pain you are feeling now. For me, the possibility of losing my daughter is a real nightmare. Be well and strong, you will meet your son again someday.
Oh buddy. I'm so very sorry. In time this so.g may bring you great memories of the best times with your beautiful son. I love this song. Takes me back... sorry for your loss. I hope you are okay. Sending love from Western Australia
"First you look so strong, then you fade away" One of my favorite opening lines, everything must pass, even the things that seem immutable, nothing is forever.
Be me: 18 in 2012 and working at a restaurant as a dishwasher…and a total shoegaze nerd. The executive chef played this song on his Bluetooth radio at the time. I was singing along to it. The executive chef told me to write down all the bands I like and we found we love all the same music. 90s emo and shoegaze. Best job I’ve ever had. Told me everything about cooking and impressing the ladies with cooking. What a legend.
I first heard Vapour Trail when I was 19. I'm now 48. Even though 29 years have passed this song has not lost an iota of meaning, brilliance, emotion or power and it can still bring me to tears.
for sure, i have loved this song for 30 years , and rarely do i notice the drumming in any of my shoegaze fav's, first thing i thought listening today was, damn this drummer is great .
One of the most beautiful and important songs in my life. Dedicating my listen today to my twin Barbara who I lost in 2020. Rest in Riffs, Bobbi. Talk to you later.
Found this play list n leapt onto this, historically one of a handfull of songs so subtle, nuanced , delicately crafted even, that triggered a deep soulfull pause for thought n reflection and that's without carrying the weight that you attach to it , at the end we become one with all who meant so much but went before and miss with all that we treasured and enjoyed together ...
My dad is an absolute huge fan of Ride. Im only 10 and we have the exact same style of music (mine slightly different). Once I heard Vapour Trail, it became one of my most favourite songs. I told my dad and he was so happy ❤
“We never have enough time to show out love.” They were kids when they wrote this…I’m 48 and it’s applicable. Andy was never confident with his vocals, but he was always my favourite “vocally”. What a band
As an American, I am glad to have grown up as a teenager in the 90’s, listening to British Rock music such as Oasis, The Verve, and Ride. To this day, nothing sounds and feels as special as the 90’s. The last great golden age of music, but especially rock & roll. John Lennon was right: ‘There is nothing conceptually better than rock ‘n’ roll.’
I'm a Boomer (1956) and I must graciously disagree about "rock 'n' roll." My gen was into R&R because it was a statement of defiance against supposedly bad stuff, or just uptightness in general. This shoegaze is so calm, mellow Zen though. That's what attracts me. My gen did all this suburbia rebellion ... that went pretty much nowhere and was too often just rebel chic BS. These guys (and other shoegaze) are doing introspection. They don't have sticks in the hands trying to poke somebody in the eye like most of my gen's bands did. So yeah, I'm taking a permanent break from "fake shake-up" and Momma's little malcontent theater. Nobody in Ride is sneering at me in their videos. Nice that.
Well, if you did not understand what it means, maybe this song is not for you. Because it means what this song means. It means missed opportunities, and all that...
3:30 Isn't the main instrument at the end a wind instrument over the strings? Or a very bad violin. The notes are too abrupt (4:02) - sounds more like a #bombard (Britain), #shehnai (India), or some kind of #oboe.
A very dear friend of mine passed away about a year ago. Before she did, I taught her about shoegaze and this song in particular, captured the sort of feelings we both had towards each other. I cannot listen or play this song without crying now. This song has become something of an artifact that makes me feel very close to her even after her passing.
I know exactly how you feel, mate. A friend of mine died almost 5 years ago and certain songs were 'ours'. You never stop missing them but nobody can take away the happy times you both shared. They're yours forever.
This really is, without hesitation my favorite song of all time. I saw them in Boston for the reunion tour--and there weren't a ton of people there, but the people there were HUGE fans and we were going nuts and they did an amazing show. So I've maybe listened to this song like a few thousand times and here I am, about five feet back from the stage, hearing it live for the first time and damn, tears are just rolling down my face. Now I've a 46 year old man. I don't cry easily, but damn this is moving me! I cried my eyes out.
I wouldn't call this agitated drums, quite the opposite actually - feels very liberated. So much freedom, and as someone already in the comments has mentioned "random, not easy to follow". It's more like improv drums, which definitely requires you to be more open than closed or "agitated".
I remember blasting this song in my car during my college years. Dancing at the Goth clubs in the early 90’s. My favorite. Even better seeing Ride and Slowdive at St Andrew’s Hall in ‘92. Great times.
@@mikkeljannssen3779 the clubs.... I know what he means. You'd dance to the Cure and Ministry and wear your black eyeliner, but shoegaze would get mixed in... Those things all came together to be called "emo" in the 2000s. Oh My Goth... We'd also be dancing to the start of the rave scene It's like that Dead Milkmen song.... "You'll dance to anything By Public Image Limited You'll dance to anything By The Smiths..."
Epic Shoegaze anthem from Oxford , England. I borrow swopped some records with some chick at College in the 1990's and she included the album Nowhere..My mind was well and truly blown by the end and this last song on the album! Loved them ever since! I adore this band till today! : )) Happy Days!
And all my time Is yours as much as mine We never have enough Time to show our love This has been my favorite song since I was like twelve or thirteen... I'm turning forty-five in three days ❤️💕
This is one of the songs I would sing for my daughter to sing her to sleep when she was a tiny one. Now she's 15. We never have enough time to show our love...
Robin Bristault Yes, this song is absolutely brilliant. I like Slowdive - "Blue Skied an' Clear" too. These songs put our mind to another dimension, I love it so much.
Galaxie 500 - On Fire My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise, Isn't Anything JAMC - Psychocandy Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (more dream-pop but an incredible and extremely influential album)
I just realized I'm the only 13 year old in my school who appreciate Shoegaze. Kinda sad, I want to be able to talk about this music to my friend but they're all into pop-ish Tik Tok songs which I can't stand to listen to for more than a couple minutes.
@@traxcanonch.2421 Keep listening to what you're into, whatever the genre. Music is such a powerful tool that can be called upon at any time to make you feel better.
@@traxcanonch.2421man you’re on the right track Keep being you I listened to weird shit in highschool and now I’m 32 and everyone around me is so dumbed down with todays music and I can please myself with old autechre or some shoegaze etc It’s a route not everyone takes but those who take it find the most beautiful music ever
everytime I listen to this song.. I feel fly into another dimension. flying into something I can't explain. this song is magical for me... it has something that driven my soul to be free. i wish i meet someone to give this song. . and that person must be special..
Still loving this song in 2022. This was on my soundtrack when I left home to pursue my dreams. A lot has happened in the 20 years since but I havent given up on my dreams.
Uma das músicas mais importantes da minha vida! Realmente essa canção me emociona muito. Não me lembro de nenhuma outra que narre um momento sublime que eu passei há muitos anos atrás como essa jóia que agora está em meu coração!
This song illustrated by this most amazing video really encapsulates Ride at this moment in time. The song and video were perfect together. Pure genius.
to all the readers of "perks' let this song stand alone in it's majesty. do not attach it to another work of art, do not attach it to yourself, but feel it deeply for what it is... a masterpiece,... a vapour trail. -the saintanne
Pisses me off I haven’t heard this song before. I hate mainstream playing crap instead of stuff like this. Oh well I’m 11 years late but I’m here. I’m 47 years old and dig this kind of music. Wow I’m finding out this song came out over 30 years ago???? Damn shame it’s 2021 and I’m just hearing this now.
Hey Man, I was so lucky to have run into a kid from England in the early 90s or would have missed this as well. If you dig it, look into 'shoegaze' music. Lush, Pale Saints, My Bloody Valentine, Catherine Wheel, Stone Roses, Chapterhouse, Dandy Warhols (especially their early stuff), Brian Jonestown Massacre, etc. Soul crushing good stuff, boss. Cheers.
Charts stuff is all crap!!! If you're searching for great, real good music (listen here!) in days like these you have to dig very deep, so very very deep.
I had the great fortune to be at Uni with someone from Birmingham who knew the band and introduced me to them and seriously opened my mind. I got to see them in Brum in the mosh pit supported by Mercury Rev. mental night. I got my jean jacket signed by the band and kept it for years - but like a twit I got rid of it. But the music ... I’m far from my 20’s, far from the UK, but it feels good to read of other people for whom this music still holds strong emotions and memories !!
Being born in the 90s, music from that era (especially this song) makes me feel so nostalgic. As I listen to this, I close my eyes and can see images of my childhood pass through my mind. The innocence I once had is now gone, but songs like this remind me that those memories are real. I want this song to play at my funeral.
I feel you. I was born in '92 but didn't discover Shoegaze bands til around 2011. But there is something undeniably special about that time period of music in the early 90s
RIDE Vapour Trail First you look so strong Then you fade away The sun will blind my eyes I love you anyway First you form a smile I watch you for a while You are a vapour trail In a deep blue sky Tremble with a sigh Glitter in your eye You seem to come and go I never seem to know And all my time Is yours as much as mine We never have enough Time to show our love
my favorite song ever. dont know why but the first time I heard it I started to cry like a baby. such a beautiful song. every single second is perfect. the instrumental parts carry so many mixed emotions, it brings me a feeling of nostalgia. thank you forever, ride
One of my fav. Songs !! Ride..Vapor Trail...it is so beautiful of a song..Composed.. guitars, drums, vocals..awwh..Love this!! My mama played constantly for me..growing up...As with Inspiral Carpets, House of Love, Catherine Wheel, The Stone Roses...Thank you for sharing!! Much Respect from New Orleans Louisiana..☆ Stephanie Opal
I remember reading Perks of Being a Wallflower long ago. There was a list of songs in the books I don't remember the context of right now, but I do remember discovering Ride and The Smiths ("Asleep") as a result. Probably led to me exploring a genre of music I would otherwise have been oblivious to .... this song is timeless. I fell asleep to it last night.
30 years later and this song is still as beautiful as the ephemeral young love it's about, even to a middle-age hip-hop head like me. Actually, it's even more so now 💔
great, great song! reminds me how good was discovering music especially in the early nineties! ride are still a treasure that not so many had the privilege to taste!
This is one of mine and my eldest son's favorite songs, probably because I played it so much. Unfortunately he passed away from cancer 3 months ago, he was only 25. This will song will forever remind me of him.

I was expecting some nostalgia from this youtube search but I was not expecting to fully burst into tears because of a comment.
All my condolences.

Desperate 'made in a shed' music. You end up wanting a stiff drink after listening to this stuff. All clashing guitars and moaning vocals.

Was amazed at their sound.
Music like this has the power to make men who rarely cry start to sob. I hope I return to this song and these comments when I'm 46.

I feel you. I was born in '92 but didn't discover Shoegaze bands til around 2011. But there is something undeniably special about that time period of music in the early 90s
this song still tears me apart in the most beautiful and indescribable ways. Love Love
Thanks Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Laurence Colbert and Steve Queralt.
For sure.
I bought it on vinyl when it came out, still sounds fantastic.
I come back here often. This song is EVERYTHING.
This song gives me goosepimples. Every. Single. Time.
This song is everything. Timeless
RIDE Vapour Trail
First you look so strong
Then you fade away
The sun will blind my eyes
I love you anyway
First you form a smile
I watch you for a while
You are a vapour trail
In a deep blue sky
Tremble with a sigh
Glitter in your eye
You seem to come and go
I never seem to know
And all my time
Is yours as much as mine
We never have enough
Time to show our love
It's "thristy for your smile"
Discovered 30 years later. How did I miss this in 1991?
my favorite song ever. dont know why but the first time I heard it I started to cry like a baby. such a beautiful song. every single second is perfect. the instrumental parts carry so many mixed emotions, it brings me a feeling of nostalgia. thank you forever, ride

I wish i could hear it for the 1st time again :)
This is such an amazing song night drive with this will feel so good, that ending with the cello always gets me

I remember reading Perks of Being a Wallflower long ago. There was a list of songs in the books I don't remember the context of right now, but I do remember discovering Ride and The Smiths ("Asleep") as a result. Probably led to me exploring a genre of music I would otherwise have been oblivious to .... this song is timeless. I fell asleep to it last night.
One of my all-time favourite songs and bands! 😻
I first heard it in the early nineties and fell in love with the first chords. I have the same feeling today
not just the song but the video; amazing! I feel lucky, what a piece of beauty
One of the bestest, bestest songs ever, when them drums come in, oh my god, the tingles xxxx
I never get sick of this beautiful creation.
My buttons are pressed well with this song. Love RIDE!
I still have the album I bought when it came out... My adolescence.... Ned's atomic dustbin, etc...
This song still makes me teary but they are happy tears :-).
Headphones, volume up, a dark room. Rinse and repeat. For hours. Get lost in the outro.
Such a good experience
Beautiful track. Echoes of the past. Nostalgia dials set to maximum.
Read the book in high school. Still listening to Ride 15-odd years later.
Masterpiece.
Voltando pra dizer o quanto AMOOOO essa música ❤❤❤
Love this. I was thinking of this song earlier today looking up at the clear skies.
The music and vocal really give the vibe of nostalgic nuances. It feels like getting back to younger years.. ;-)
I'm 43. I remember buying this album when I was in High School (in Rhode Island). This song is still amazing and beautiful.
30 years later and this song is still as beautiful as the ephemeral young love it's about, even to a middle-age hip-hop head like me. Actually, it's even more so now 💔
Yea man 😊👍🏻
I just ran across this song through someone's Spotify playlist...never heard it before but I love it! So dreamy...takes me away!
Watching and hearing this particular tune from the past just gives me goosebumps and mini-flashbacks.
Ride,Chapterhouse,Adorable,Smiths, CocteauTwins,Stone Roses
UP
+ Slowdive
+Cigarettes After Sex (highly recommended)
Pulp, Joy Division, The Cure, Depeche Mode
I love it
How can this song be 33 years old! 😫
great, great song! reminds me how good was discovering music especially in the early nineties! ride are still a treasure that not so many had the privilege to taste!
I will always think of my 1st true love, when I hear this song. R.I.P MARCUS ❤
80’s and 90’s were the best
That outtro cello is painful
great shoegaze band Ride
my favorite song
great official video
thank you
This is simply a beautiful song by a tragically underrated band.
This reminds me of Sunshine Smile by Adorable
It's of it's time and still stands to this day as the band's best song
Untouchable
Man...I just LOVE this song. The strings are the perfect ending to it.
