My band supported Ride at the square in Harlow just before the release of their first single, I think it was 1990. I remember after hearing this and dreams burn down i thought to myself "why do i even bother, I can never do anything even close to as good as this". Amazing band
My dad smashed all my Ride EPs on vinyl in 92 when he caught me smoking weed and I still can't listen to these without missing them. They cost loads and I had to order them... they even had messages in the run out grooves.... I remember one said 'Penguin Power!'
Last night I had such a good time, But there's a price to pay. A night full of kicks, now the sun's in my eyes, And I feel so weary today. I want to close my eyes, I want to close my eyes, I want to ride and ride and ride, Until I'm blown away. Make your body a blanket, Let me rest my head. The world can wait for just a few minutes more, They might as well be dead. Q

The good old days. Rock music. Loud. Not shit. You can bury me with this stuff.
Yes!
Fuck me, i had half-forgotten this gem. Such a prolific few years from 1990 to 1992.

i hope you and your dad have a better relationship now, i went through similar stuff and we made up, but damn i miss those broken memories :(
i sympathise man. My mum burned all my melody makers and nme's from this era right thru to brit pop. just because
I like the vocal harmonies in this song. They sound a lot like The Byrds.

one of my favorites by Ride. I often sing it in the shower.
Just a wonderful sound
Always loved this track. The EPs were a joy to own, such lovely objects with cool tunes etched inside.
would hum this tune in college when hungover at my desk job. good times.
