Ride - Like A Daydream

Play EP
Smile

[@Andreundell1977]

55 yrs old and still love these guys

[@dirkjewitt5037]

I can not express how much I love this band. Everyone had Nirvana at the top of their lists back then. I had RIDE. They were the soundtrack of my youth.

[@lenpey]

Pale Saints.... Stone Roses..... and RIDE. The Trinity from England 90-93.

[@scottboyd3838]

Me, I prefer the OTHER record released in 1991 that wasn't Nevermind. My Bloody Valentine with one of the best records , ahh, it does warrant hyperbole, best records EVER!! with LOVELESS

[@anthonyherniman6332]

I remember walking past a car with its door open, Smells Like T S playing and I stopped and listrened. But by then I'd heard Ride and, whilst Smells was insanely good, Ride had so many songs inside my head, that was it. That was it, man.

[@co_li7300]

That drummer is amazing.

[@robgrano6814]

If you think this is something listen to his work on "Cool Your Boots." I'm a drummer myself and have never gotten tired of that track in almost 30 years.

[@johnIZaUWL]

He F’ing ROCKS 🤘💜🤘

[@final_mile_music9713]

Loz

[@softlightsymphonyband]

Ride always had the best rhythm section of any of the bands around at the time: bass and drums are both amazing song after song.

[@dukeofyorkshire355]

@gwiley7871 absolutely spot on. The three best of my generation.

[@eiremike1]

The drummer is unbelievable, they were great at changing tempo while still keeping the tension and energy . I love the non-rockstar video, clothes and attitude

[@deepfocus888]

this video brings back great early 90s memories of trying to dress like this, hair etc. Was a fun time in music history.

[@carloslima6705]

thats soegaze

[@RetningNord]

So tired for every idiot writing this under every bloody video with Ride. Is it some kind of projection?The drummer could have been replaced and the band would have earned the same kind of success. Bell and Gardener were the ones who actually made the music. He is an OK drummer and that's it.

[@fighters0813]

この曲、大好きでした。　今訊いてもあの時代にタイムスリップするなぁ。。。。　かっこよすぎる。

[@jb8280]

First year of college. A friend owed me money so gave me his electric guitar instead. This is the first song I learned. Not that difficult, but it sounded so cool with the amp and an open window. I had a few girls in the dorms come to hear me play this track over and over. Felt like Johnny Marr(or insert guitar hero here) for five hot seconds before they got bored and moved on...love Ride and all of indie Brit pop from that era!

[@KitsGravity]

The drums... The drums!

[@jerryziegler2420]

Loz deserves to be listed among the best of the best!

[@samuelmorse784]

One of the most joyful rock songs of all time and represents the highest heights that any group like this attained or could ever hope to obtain. Pure bliss.

[@GRUNGELEOPARD]

Samuel Morse I’m with you but they have made and keep on making spacerock anthems still, Leave them all behind has been played at funerals here in Sweden and Nowhere is surely top 5 of debut albums:)

[@SayItAintS0]

​@@GRUNGELEOPARD Sååå lyxigt att vi hade Andy Bell i Årsta ett par år, träffade honom i källaren på Hannas/Pet Sounds och fick stamma fram min tacksamhet men orden stockade sig verkligen, hur pratar man med Stålmannen typ?

[@GRUNGELEOPARD]

@@SayItAintS0 grymt härligt❤️ Såg dom i gbg -92 sjukt dåliga var dom men det kan man kosta på sig när man dominerar ändå;)

[@TheBoro73]

The song that got me into Ride, all those years ago. The most perfect, guitar pop song and lyrics...something about the lyrics, bitter sweet? "I wish that life could be just like a photograph, One moment captured as you laugh your perfect laugh." This song remains timeless and always will

[@JHatLpool]

There's so much more to think about in black and white.

[@darthsaya8032]

You nailed it! Bittersweet...Shoegaze in itself...happy nostalgic rage!

[@johnIZaUWL]

Dreams Burn Down LIVE for me when walked in on them going on BEFORE Lush on that killer double Bill in 1991 💜🤘💜🙃😌

[@worsignor8519]

Please take me back to these days...please.

[@RickHeffe]

The way your hair hangs down it hides away your face For you it's perfect when it seems like such a waste And when I see you gliding past I make my plans And then my plans slip through my fingers just like sand I wish that life could be just like a photograph One moment captured as you laugh your perfect laugh But that's a daydream, things could never be so right There's so much more to think about than black and white

[@chrismorrison2805]

is it just me? There is such power and beautiful magic in RIDE. Come on!

[@derekgray644]

Loz is the man. Ride are so under appreciated.

[@echoandthebunny]

Ride's vocal harmonies are out of this world! I've just became a huge fan! It is a real shame I've never heard of them until a couple months ago!

[@shoegazer93]

Soft boys drowning the world out in a wall of sound with nuclear powered guitars and incredible drums. This band describes me as a person.

[@chrismorrison2805]

I UNDERSTAND

[@crburk916]

Well said

[@richjones237]

Such great memories of them. OX4 - Jericho Tavern in Oxford was bursting with talent. Some recognised more than others... but what a scene at the time. R.I.P. Jericho Tavern 😮

[@crystalwitch6788]

They were so young here, it's like a time machine. It makes me feel so nostalgic and i'm just 23, may be because they were around my age, it's beautiful.

[@brendaluna173]

listen to this band,20 year olds with great tunes singing about a girl without sounding pretentious, you can tell they had an authentic love for music

[@rorybell2161]

I fucking love this band, one of the best of their time & seriously underrated. I wish that life could be just like a photograph.

[@saoyama9865]

19歳の時毎日聴いてたなぁ✨

[@sallyblake2043]

The most beautiful song ever. Makes me happy yet sad and feel like I am flying. They are true artists.

[@larsfernet4109]

Loz Colbert, best drummer ever? Masterpiece

[@TheMusicalElitist]

The ‘indie’ Keith Moon

[@alissaburge6375]

I was born in 1973 and I am big fan of the shoe gazing music in the early 1990’s. Ride is one of the biggest band from Oxfordshire, England. There are so many most shoegaze from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@johnmcdermott2551]

Supergrass is the biggest band from Oxfordshire.

[@trickygoose2]

Radiohead also come from Oxfordshire.

[@nathchambreros3326]

So excited I’ve discovered this band, only about a month ago vapour trail just came up on my KZbin suggested tracks, since then I feel like I’ve discovered the greatest band ever, no idea how I never even heard of them until now at 40 years old, proper fresh sound, the drummer is up there with reni for me

[@dj_jazzywhut]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4S3i3ihpMt8o5Y

[@Matt-ur3dm]

Watch the live at the town and country club oe Brixton live videos on KZbin they are both great

[@TSOL2023]

Check out the Drop Nineteens first album.

[@colinmackenzie6277]

I bought the SMILE EP on the strength of Like a Daydream, took it to a mates house, and his shabby Pommie Mate stole it from me!!! 😅🤣😂

[@samisifat4183]

The way your hair hangs down it hides away your face, For you it's perfect, but it seems like such a waste. And when I see you sliding past I make my plans, And then my plans slip through my fingers just like sand. I wish that life could be just like a photograph, One moment captured as you laugh your perfect laugh. But that's a daydream, things could never be so right, There's so much more to think about than black and white.

[@ok2760]

I saw them at the ULU in London in April 1990 when this EP came out. It was amazing and they were incredibly loud. And the stage was covered in daffodils.

[@ericmiller3708]

Ride was the band that bridged the gap between neo-psychedelic and shoegaze back in the early '90s.

[@phaedo1384]

top ten rock songs of all time

[@TheChloeisthebest]

Believe it or not, the way I found out about this lovely song was from a concert near by my house. I could barely hear the song but it took three days to search it up.

[@dakotahope599]

That's awesome! I've heard concerts late at night too. Definitely not this band though, haha wow that's cool :)

[@stewartk1645]

First album I bought when I moved to Sunny Manchester in 1990, class band

[@essemmetv]

What a divine melody, just entrancing. Geniuses.

[@robgrano6814]

This song is why "Smells Like Teen Spirit" didn't surprise me when it came out. I had already been listening to some heavier 80's "alternative" bands, and when Ride hit the scene in 1990 it was like a culmination. Nirvana just seemed like a more aggressive version along that same continuum. I think that to the average person who hadn't heard any of the earlier stuff "Smells Like Teen Spirit" must have sounded like it came out of nowhere.

[@sochegeorge7962]

Probably the best single I have ever heard. Three minutes and thirty three seconds of pure bliss. Never really heard anything like this before or since from any other band. Ride are immense.

[@slowdive49441]

This is the greatest pop song I have ever heard. I doubt I will ever hear a better one. Amazing.

[@fulstop8871]

you will, but it'll be by Ride as well

[@andyking7621]

you need to listen to Shonen Knife cover My Bloody Valentine ... just saying ...............but you do

[@stephenroche5107]

slowdive49441 Pop song you silly arse.

[@andyking7621]

give "chasing heather crazy" by Guided By Voices a go

[@SnackJar]

"Pop song" I about died laughing this is shoegaze 😂

[@dibzzz70]

Went them twice. Newcastle and Middlesbrough. Loudest live band I've ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

[@trickygoose2]

Just after the Play EP was in the UK Top 40, Ride played at a theatre in my small town in Hertfordshire. It was amazing to see a hot new band live just over a mile from home.

[@mheberling5939]

Damn this brings back some great memories and emotions. One of the greatest bands ever.

[@user-qz3go1ft3p]

美しいから素晴らしい曲。

[@Superlove]

Really love the vocal harmonies on this song

[@rhino5591]

The best shoegaze band don’t care what anyone els says

[@obd9660]

I researched Ride's influences and here's what I've gathered: 1. The Beatles (Andy: "I was learning from a Beatles songbook... The track "Seagull" uses backwards guitars and the same baseline.") Sources - interview on KZbin, top 5 Pre-Nowhere influences 2. Spacemen Three 3. Sonic Youth (Mark: "I like the sort of, aspect of it... This band could only, you know, HAD TO be coming out of New York." ) Source - Sonic Youth Pioneers. 4. The Smiths (Andy: "Johnny Marr was a huge influence on me. For a few years, I was just soaking up his style.") Source: KZbin interview. 5. The Cure 6. The Stone Roses 7. The Rolling Stones 8. The Byrds 9. The Beach Boys 10. Buffalo Springfield 11. Maggie May 12. Rod Stewart 13. Cocteau Twins 14. My Bloody Valentine 15. Status Quo 16. Suicide 17. The Red Crayola 18.13th Floor Elevators Have I missed any?

[@patrickffrench7735]

They should have been bigger

[@TheGroovySideOftheTube]

Syd Barrett - he's doing a full Syd in this clip!

[@JHatLpool]

I think the Byrds and the Rolling Stones would be numbers 1 and 2 in their 'influenced by' list.

[@jespercervin9618]

'Lady Friend' by The Byrds is the most Ride-like song from the 60's I think.

[@wimvanhage7853]

Love Ride! Perfect song, still after all these years. Perfect drums too. Love it!

[@JHatLpool]

Wim, I agree completely.

[@petermanning11]

I love RIDE. These guys just keep giving and giving. Thank you for making life more bearable with your music!

[@jasonk9770]

The award for effortless cool goes to the drummer.

[@1Sanantoniomatute]

Seriously. I can only think of few other songs like this one that just come into the world destroying what was and caused an indelible before-and-after. "Just Like Honey", "Blitzkrieg Bop"... "Wouldn't it be Nice"

[@user-xn1sc2oj5h]

Thankful for platforms like this, we can reminisce sweet memories brought by this song. Now, a Time Machine's the only thing missing.

[@KenOath1234]

i loved this video when I was a kid. Now im sure even the band would be embarrassed. But my god the song has stood the test of time. Still as fresh as when I heard it almost 30 years ago... fuck i'm old!

[@jackroberts1970]

I remember this song on 90's start... I'm so young... Greatest song and lovely band.

[@TheDEKUNOMUSIC]

I like this drumming.

[@ThomasNigelHawkins]

Loz must have destroyed like 1000 of his sticks

[@SADCOCK1970]

The Mary Whitehouse Experience brought me here. Rob Newman, comedy genius.

[@catcat1517]

Shoegaze Beatles of the 90's. And wow could they play and harmonize like a champ. I saw then play in Cleveland in the early 90's and was totally enthralled. Years later in Portland several times and they still sound fresh and spot on. This is one talented group of musicians and song writers. RIDE forever!

[@colinmackenzie6277]

This is such a bridge song 🎵...60s and 70s Rock 'n' Roll in Enga-Land (Beatles, Mod Sound, even Yardbirds, but with much darker lyrics, and the drummer just going all out!!! A nod to the old, while heralding the new....all from 20 year Olds....THANK YOU RIDE...❤❤❤...I bought your your first 2 albums in Dunedin, New Zealand 🇳🇿, and the a Northern Manchester in Auckland stole them from me!!!! 😢 "Paralysed".is another favorite of mine ✔️

[@GRUNGELEOPARD]

Best band ever, that sound, soo many questions on how they recorded and produced, wish I could meet them someday. Saw them in Glasgow 2016 I lost it during Taste, great city by the way love it!

[@sunshaped]

Loz is so poetic in his playing.

[@TutoriDelDisordine]

an out of time little masterpiece, music from the soul directly to the listener's soul. Speaking to the inner truth of my youth. Still amazed listening after so many years. You (and i) were all so young... LOVE from Italy

[@crapple009]

Their last two (comeback) studio albums are so good! I hope Ride will release more new music..

[@user-qz3go1ft3p]

ギターソロを頭でアイソレートして 聴くと真面目にこれをコピーしてた 当時に意識が飛んで目眩いがする 失ったことで今がある でもあのままでも

[@cameronforsyth1611]

Can’t get over how young Andy Bell looks here 😂

[@hugosophy]

He looks 18

[@astridvvv9662]

They look like highschoolers. How can a band of guys so young be so musically ibdreduvek?

[@1292liam]

Always ranked this as my favourite song of all time (of any artist)..Well, this or Verve-Starsail ..I could never decide

[@pickybleatinge3744]

What a selection of songs

[@masahiroueno3250]

とてもなつかしい。さわやか。

[@hardtosay4321]

The best non-metal bad ever! Vapour Trail one of the best songs ever

[@shoegazer93]

Greatest band of all time

[@duanehicks6962]

Love this song so much; the way it falls apart (in a good way) in the final minute.

[@jamesbensley5790]

Amazing, remember in-between all the madchester, ride ruled supreme 👍👍

[@Puzzledtraveller]

This is the song that did it, transformed since.

[@user-qz3go1ft3p]

この時期の英国で最上の曲 ライドはインディ期が良すぎて どうしてもそのあとが難しかったな

[@spectralv709]

This song is better than Vapour Trail

[@MiloDC]

WAY better.

[@pologranc]

Young and beautiful.

[@slthlrdz]

The coolest

[@colinmackenzie6277]

Sonic Wall of guitar???? CHECK! Snazzy, slip beat drumming ???? CHECK! Provocative Lyrics???? CHECK! Love this EP and Swervedrivers' Mezcal Head!👍👍👍👍From a Dunedin Boy!!! (YES Chills and Straitjacket Fits)

[@barbicastelvi4249]

Best band from the 90's

[@JHatLpool]

..., 80's, 70's, 60's (and the 00's).

[@dukeofyorkshire355]

That was just brilliant. Like, everything about it.

[@stevehotspur]

Oh God we were so young

[@williamalmeida6967]

Curto o Ride desde a década de 90, ainda acredito que um dia viram tocar no Brazil 🇧🇷

[@hugosophy]

Lol man this song is such a gem it belongs set in the crown jewels of the empire of shoegaze and dream/BRIT POP. THE VIDEO is so dope.too the striped mock turtleneck collar and long sleeves with the relaxed fit early 90s jeans with gum sole sneakers. Not to mention the sweet semi bowl cut on Andy Bell. Haha

[@discosecret6363]

Fun fact: Andy Bell invented the “emo guitar twirl” 15 years before it was even a “thing”. 1:02

[@Oozeboy]

Love that smooth recovery from the drummer on that dropped stick.

[@choiseunghyeon8099]

best music video of my all time

[@pojo549]

written by The Beatles, sung by NIRVANA

[@albertcorbero7587]

Best song ever.

[@JHatLpool]

Agreed.

[@clyde19788]

this just reminds me of back in the day, before the internet and youtube when you had to watch public access video shows, 120 minutes, or know someone with a bootleg vhs tape filled with indie videos to watch these pieces of time capsules.

[@derwah9810]

1 of the best albums

[@johnpenner5182]

sooo goood!! saw them live - and they are fabulous!! absolutely top notch!! 🎸 🖤 ✨

[@JonathanMerkt]

I’ve never wanted a shirt so badly in my life

[@bentkarma83]

Just getting into them. So far so good.

[@AndyCoronado127]

great solo as well - love it love it love it

[@tassostantsis2826]

perfect perfection.

[@bigplanett]

Wow, they were babies.

[@200acid]

Great band!

[@brunokoch672]

Fantastic! Rickenbacker yeah!

[@JHatLpool]

Agreed.

[@lanadantas2338]

Love it 😍

[@chrismorrison3696]

I love Ride like I love the Jam. They have been there for me for three decades. How is Nowhere 30 years old?! Yikes. RIDE are really a BAND. All of these lads are just fantastic at their parts. Except that drummer! Loz, Loz, Loz, Loz, Loz..... is not fantastic. He's.....? He's my dream drummer. I hear the Moonisms but Loz is Loz and what a class act. He could hit a potato and make it sound like Moon on the Who's Live at Leeds. And he's a smashing bloke to boot! This song is one of the greatest, finest and best examples of how great POP music can be. If played with purpose, heart and controlled abandonment, that is. The producer, Alan Moulder should also get some credit. He had so much to do with how this band sounded in the studio as well as live.

[@tassostantsis2826]

the drums sound like strings, the guitars sound like brass, the bass sounds like organ...

[@Rusted81]

Listen to that guitar layering, damn.

[@HyltonE]

Haha love Andy spazzing out

[@eckeynecker]

In my opinion the best band to come out of oxford (not radiohead )RIDE .

[@samgravell]

You're tapped.

[@bocphet]

Much better than Radiohead!

[@lisztomaniacgirl]

in my opinion both have their own magic and beauty, each in its own way you know?

[@ryanc3368]

bocphet no no no ffs no.

[@slowdive49441]

yes, yes, yes ffs yes.

[@markheidema3699]

Love the old school Ric guitar.

[@TheJofrica]

These guys sound like Andy from Pro Guitar Shop

[@electromuff7870]

Could see it

[@janknjazovic]

25 years ago today! :D

[@thestr8person]

Oh my days! Don't do that! I feel like I should be dead or something!

[@dakotahope599]

+tonee well gladly your not :) didn't grow up in the same time as you and life's a lot different now but I'm sure there's great things in this era too

[@SeanSolo8]

At 1:03 Loz drum stick goes flying!!! So funny. Only noticed after watching this for the 100th time.
