42 now. When I was about 17 I fell in love with the Velvets. Lived in a middle-class suburb in Scotland. At the end of our house we had a "sun lounge" - an optimistic idea for Scotland, since the sun rarely shines. It had huge windows and a wooden floor. It was never used, although my parents used to store bottles in there. In winter, they used to freeze solid. It became my room to listen to music in, and I remember listening to this song while looking out the windows at snow-capped mountains.
My dad used to play this song on his base. My mom told me that when my parents were driving home after getting married, this song was playing, and they were literally driving into the sunset. It's their song, and it will always remind me of my dad. I love you dad. I hope you're happy wherever you are, and I hope you know how precious you have always been to me.
This song has something magical. The melody, the chords progression, the piano at the end.. It's just perfect. It gives me a lot of emotions, it can seem a happy song, peaceful with good vibes, then it makes me feel also a lot of melancholy and sadness, bitterness.. The final part often makes me cry, it's so intense. For me, the greatest band of rock'n'roll history, I can't understand why they aren't remembered like the beatles or rolling stones, they are way better then the stones and genius as the Beatles.
+Caverman Seems like I remember that from way way back. But it's been ages since hearing the vers with vox. I do remember two versions of Hey Mr. rain. V/U and Another View are some killer records.
Discovering a song that you know you will love forever is one of the most out-of-body experiences. I was having an overstimulating morning: woke up with the thought that I had to clean the whole flat, or else I would've gone crazy, looking at the corners that had never seen a good wipe. My hoover had just broken, as well as the clothes airer, my head was full of memories of the previous tipsy night, but mornings after such nights usually turn the memories into boxes of anxious patterns rambling on. And then this song randomly came through my speaker, because Spotify thought I would love it. And I stood still for a moment, more goosebumps than skin on my body, before I started crying. I couldn't handle how beautiful the melody was. The next three minutes I spent weeping and speaking out loud "Why is this so beautiful?". Yep, this is when you feel the most alive.
The first time I heard this song about twenty years ago, I had just bought a cassette of Another View and this song happened to start playing just as I was going up the Sunshine Skyway from St. Petersburg on a a beautiful day with blue sky, magnificent sun, and ocean as far as you could see. One of the most surreal experiences of my entire life, and when the song was over, I had to pop out the tape to see what the title was -- when I read "Ride Into the Sun," it sent chills up my spine.
Randomly stumbled upon this song today (February 21st, 2023), and heard it for the first time ever in my life. Sometimes you can just tell when a moment is immediately special. It's a pretty typical Tuesday afternoon for me - just logged off work a few hours ago, and now winding down relaxing for the night - but when this song came on it transformed the ordinary into something else. It's been tough times for me lately, but this song brings me a lot of hope and the instruments really just convey everything I'm feeling right now. Working on a new DJ mix that I hope to put out soon, and I immediately knew that I have to put this song as the intro. Peace and love to everyone out there. Music is the most special thing in the world, and I'm glad this song was able to heal a piece of my fragmented heart.
People may complain about the AI algos influencing our lives and behaviors but damn i'm glad YT had this song show up for me. Long time VU fan but had never heard it before.
SO agree! Stumbled on it myself this week and absolutely love it. It has been a dark time for me and this just has an uplifting feeling about it. Check out Pachelbel canon in D
One of those perfect songs that can hit multiple emotional nerves at the same time. When I first heard it, it seemed blissfully chill, and reminded me of a mid-summer drive down a winding road through bright green fields under a sprawling blue sky. But today, I listened to it w/ the wife and baby and thought about love in the face of inevitable mortality. I damn near cried. The funny thing is that VU probably tossed this off half-assed-ly, like it was nothin'. I fucking love this band/song.
@@porterhall27 Lou Reed was one of the most celebrated songwriters of his time, had a lot of respect. Their first album didn't sell well but look at the figures for the rest of their stuff. Super popular band in their time and still today.
@Millennial Smark Nonsense. The Velvet Underground had two official albums after White Light White Heat. Lou Reed had also already made a solo album before David Bowies input into Transformer which was his second studio album. Lou had performed plenty for his first solo record.
I noticed that in the comments of the videos of the songs, the comments that take more likes are those with the lyrics of the songs. So now I commit myself and I do it too. Lyrics: Now I feel complete
We're replacing the wedding march with this at our wedding next month. I can't think of a more appropriate or beautiful piece of music to walk down the aisle to! Thank you Velvet Underground.
This was the song I walked down the aisle to when me and my husband got married on August 31, 2015. It's my favorite Velvets song. They will always be my favorite NYC band. I am from Queens, as is my husband. I knew I had to incorporate the band into my wedding somehow.
+Alex DeLuca yeah, they were also a great pysch-rock band in their own rite too, although alternative and brash in style compared to other psych stuff. Personally I prefer them to most punk and rock that came after/before. Most of Lou Reed's solo stuff is good too, but doesn't compare to VU in my opinion *I know the velvets aren't 'technically' a psych-rock band, but genres are stupid anyway
+Alex DeLuca. You are so right on with that. I can't imagine Patti Smith, Television or anybody else becoming the artists they were without the inspiration of the Velvets. They "made" the space.
Oh, my God! I thought I had heard every studio version of "Ride Into the Sun" (my favorite is on the _What Goes On_ box set). I guess because this version has no vocals it wasn't considered for release. But it's _absolutely_ beautiful! Moe's drums have never been recorded better -- and the variations are as tasteful. I haven't heard such great drumming since "The Dangerous Type" by the Cars (which came many years after this). The lead guitar is so precise and melodic it sounds like a keyboard! The rhythm guitar is excellent, with what sounds like a bit of chorusing or flanging on it. Thanks so much for a great rarity!
Man hahaha like trust me I love this song trust me.But the drumming in musical is pretty mediocre at best like come on i know your not comparing this to other genres right?
Ben, I respect the fact that you like the song. It is my ALL TIME favorite and I want it played at my funeral (as a previous post stated). But Moe's drumming is the worst part of the song. She wasn't a drummer; she was some chick they drug in off the street to bang on kitchen pans and hubcaps with a hammer, and they called it "drums." That being said, she probably could have done a better job than me!!! But if she were a real artist, she wouldn't currently be working as a greeter in an Atlanta Walmart.
@@jkallred101 - I would not be surprised if this did not matter to you but when you insinuate that having what some might consider a lowly job, such as a greeter in a shop, does not make someone a "real" artist, I must disagree: I am a cleaner to earn money but most of my time is spent as an artist and I know many people who do not earn money from their art but persist because it is in our blood and soul, regardless of whether money is made or recognition is given. Artists create because they HAVE to, not for finance or celebrity.
@@jkallred101 i dunno anyone who works at walmart, but I dare say the MAJORITY of americans (esp older single females) do not have hip, lucrative "careers". many do have creative outlets for which their dinky gig is simply a means to. they're likely loathe to be defined by their job. nor SHOULD they be. besides, mo tucker wasn't keith moon, but she wasn't incompetent & she had moments of genuine excellence (e.g. "ocean") - or lou, et al, woulda REPLACED her in a hot "new york minute." she didn't join as a jazz drummer since age 5 or anything. but she was motivated, practised dutifully, & was present & prepared to play when the opportunity arose. she was certainly no LESS of a drummer than, say, tre cool or MOST other punk drummers when they got a band. but u probably wouldn't criticize THEM. Don't forget she was the ONLY female drummer in a band AT ALL throughout a period in which most women had to work "pink-collar" jobs. so roles for chicks in music were notoriously few & limited to vocals & tambourine - which was LAME. but "lame" maureen tucker was NOT. hell, i saw her live at Churchill's in miami in the late 90s, still touring & playing in bands then. but she must be 80 y.o. by now, so i'd be very surprised if she's actually schlepping at walmart as u suggest - or anywhere. so ur clearly talking out of ur ass. u just sound silly - like a hater who isn't even enough of a v.u. fan of to know mo was not just some rando bimbo they "drug[sic] off the street"! i just wish u had a clue wtf u were blithering about & could hear how honestly ignorant u sound.
To the extent of culture, music and style, yes. I would love to go back to the sixties and live through the decades of Velvet, Dylan, Stones, Kinks and so many more. I never said there aren't any good bands today but they are in my experience not even close to the Bands I've listed. Just imagine listening to Velvet live! I don't expect you to have the same opinion as I and frankly I don't give a damn.
This track has always put a tear in my eye for personal nostalgic reasons. Today I am sat here with tears pouring down as I listen to Lou / VU tracks one after another from the side menu.
Man... There sure will never be another band like the Velvet Underground again.. Let alone another Lou Reed.. Rest peacefully to the passed members and long live the 2 still alive today...❤️🙏
In my music player,this is the most played song,always stand by me,comfort me,hope someday i can find my true love and listen to it together,and i will tell her this was always been my motivation to keep going and now my motivation turns to U.

Although he was never my favourite musician, his death certainly represents, one of the most significant losts of pop and rock music of all times. We only recognize people's true value when they're gone. Forever. So long, Lou.
what a beautiful memory, i'm imagining being in that sun lounge right now from my bedroom in Tennessee. I'm listening to this song in honor of Lou's departure. I fell in love with he Velvets when i was 18, i'm 43.
I don't understand why this is so good. It seems so simple and straightforward, just strum some chords, right? So why does it open my heart up like nothing else?
Passion turns the most simple songs into the most enjoyable. Over complicating music often results in it being boring. Lou's three chord ideology is part of the reason the Velvet Underground stood out from literally everyone else at the time.
@@vgmilo the melody is really nice, however I don't think it's the melody, it's the chord progression. Today nobody ever would just strum chords without vocals, because they think it was boring.
No se que hacer con mi vida, no tengo muchos amigos y no soy bueno con el amor. A veces creo que soy un desdichado y que no merezco nada pero escucho canciones como esta de bandas como esta y me siento en paz, realmente en paz y creo que literalmente podría morir en este instante y moriría feliz por haber podido escuchar una canción tan linda con tanto por transmitir. Gracias.
@@adk.lokesh Hey, i'm feel so much better right now, thanks for your support and your words. I've been focus on me, and worked in my Health , i've learned english a little bit, so sorry for the grammar
This a very beautiful piece of music and art for all this suburban hippies geeks and autistics this song goes to to us I am 27 had a hard been struggling in one of the wealthiest county's in the country but I hope to live the rest of my days up in Oregon here's to ya Lou u would have understood me not many people do lol
+hopscotchoblivion Only because it reminds me of my Mom. She had a mixtape that she would always play in our mini-van while driving us to Tee-Ball practice. :) My first favorite song (the song that actually made me like music) was Blister In The Sun by The Violent Femmes from that mixtape. :)

Scotland is the best place in the universe to listen to this song
Should've made it a nice cozzy-warm heroin den.
there were mountains too?

i'm 18 now and i'm into the velvets

This is beautiful. Truly.

It is beautiful what you are saying Kassandra. To me Best band ever. They changed my life forever.
Very touching.
i played this at my funeral. It was cool. Everybody started to dance
Seems legit.

It's Pachelbel's Canon - ruclips.net/video/NlprozGcs80/видео.html
Yep my thoughts exactly very similar to Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Such a lovely piece. Discovered it from bbc serial read by Sally Phillips - brilliant!
best instrumental ever recorded. played this with an acoustic, cello, and electric guitar for my friends wedding march. was beautiful.
+Caverman Seems like I remember that from way way back. But it's been ages since hearing the vers with vox. I do remember two versions of Hey Mr. rain. V/U and Another View are some killer records.

Can't disagree with you. It's a beautiful piece of music. I prefer this version over all others.

In ethos, pathos, and logos. Certainly inventive as they were.
This is beautiful. Kind of making me tear up because there’s something really sad about it too

This is one of those VU tunes you don't hear very often but wish you did. What Goes On and Pale Blue Eyes come to mind. Fabulous instrumental.
To the extent of culture, music and style, yes. I would love to go back to the sixties and live through the decades of Velvet, Dylan, Stones, Kinks and so many more.

What's that term of teenage angst that one feels when someone says hurtful things that are true?
you're right. I wonder how amazing time it must've been for music and art in general
This song brings a tear to my eye.
Thanx Lou, for all the great music you left us~Hope you're still walkin' on the Wild Side...
I can't explain why or how, but this particular recording feels like an audio embrace.
This is the first and last song I'd want to hear. So beautiful.
An incredible piece of music.
Simply beautiful music...
who knew a song without words could be so great
This track has always put a tear in my eye for personal nostalgic reasons.
Today I am sat here with tears pouring down as I listen to Lou / VU tracks one after another from the side menu.

Love that chord progression... It's the best.....
btw, can you smuggle me some of that *chords*
If it's velvet underground you know its good quality already
I think its the best tune i ever listened
In my music player,this is the most played song,always stand by me,comfort me,hope someday i can find my true love and listen to it together,and i will tell her this was always been my motivation to keep going and now my motivation turns to U.
lovely thought. we need fantasy
Beautiful. Soothes the soul ❤

Still sounds great.
Lyrics :
Looking for another place
Someone else to be
Looking for another chance
To ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Where everything seems so pretty
When you're lonely and tired of the city
Remember, it's a flower made out of clay
To the city
Where everything seems so ugly
When you're sitting at home in self pity
Remember, you're just one more person
Who's living there
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
Ride into the sun velvet underground
Looking for another place
Someone else to be
Looking for another chance
To ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Where everything seems so pretty
When you're lonely and tired of the city
Remember, it's a flower made out of clay
To the city
Where everything seems so ugly
When you're sitting at home in self pity
Remember, you're just one more person
Who's living there
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
Songwriters: Sterling Morrison / Maureen Tucker / John Cale / Lou Reed
Lou you sure did give us so much and made the world of rock n roll a better place. Now it's your turn to ride into the sun.
Although he was never my favourite musician, his death certainly represents, one of the most significant losts of pop and rock music of all times. We only recognize people's true value when they're gone. Forever. So long, Lou.
One of my favorite bands like ever xo
Trully beautiful
what a beautiful memory, i'm imagining being in that sun lounge right now from my bedroom in Tennessee. I'm listening to this song in honor of Lou's departure. I fell in love with he Velvets when i was 18, i'm 43.
WHAT A BEAUTYFUL SONG
I hear several classic rock hits in this 1 song just little bits all through out. I'm mesmerised, he and they are talented artists.
They shone so brightly and so briefly😢❤
I don't understand why this is so good. It seems so simple and straightforward, just strum some chords, right? So why does it open my heart up like nothing else?
It's the beautiful melody of sterling morrison
Passion turns the most simple songs into the most enjoyable. Over complicating music often results in it being boring. Lou's three chord ideology is part of the reason the Velvet Underground stood out from literally everyone else at the time.
@@vgmilo the melody is really nice, however I don't think it's the melody, it's the chord progression. Today nobody ever would just strum chords without vocals, because they think it was boring.
No se que hacer con mi vida, no tengo muchos amigos y no soy bueno con el amor.
A veces creo que soy un desdichado y que no merezco nada pero escucho canciones como esta de bandas como esta y me siento en paz, realmente en paz y creo que literalmente podría morir en este instante y moriría feliz por haber podido escuchar una canción tan linda con tanto por transmitir.
Gracias.
hey man I guess many of us feel the same way. I do too. I hope you're doing better now. take care!

1:34 Did anybody else cry to that guitar solo? I know I did...
+hopscotchoblivion the only time i cried was while that solo and kept sobbing all along the base line
+hopscotchoblivion never even heard them before and I got a bit emotional
+hopscotchoblivion Only because it reminds me of my Mom. She had a mixtape that she would always play in our mini-van while driving us to Tee-Ball practice. :) My first favorite song (the song that actually made me like music) was Blister In The Sun by The Violent Femmes from that mixtape. :)
I have that same Silvertone Twin Twelve Sterling Morrison has in the picture!
RIP Lou, thank you for everything
I really love the drums so much❤
I told you to be LIKE Ned, Dewey, I didn't tell you to BE Ned! And what... you're not even gonna apologize?
THAT IS SO TYPICAL NED
Damn have never heard this one thank you
I want to cry to this song.
Magnifica interpretacion
One of my fav song of them, so mesmerizing, makes you want to run and smile at people strangely looking at you
Wow!! My all time fav instrumental,
This song makes me want to start a band... so many layers of awsomeness.
The first song I thought of when i heard about Lou Reed's death.. A great man. RIP
The best álbum of The year 1970. And the four more best álbum of The Velvet Underground.
THANKS LOU FOR BEING YOU
and the band, The Velvet Underground, is one of the most innovative bands ever.
Unusual for the Velvets, Good stuff.
