Ride - Unfamiliar

Today Forever EP

[@tassostantsis2826]

Apparently shoegazing means you concentrate on your instrument and play superbly. Pure genius.

[@00Mindi00]

One of the greatest songs EVER written, by one of the GREATEST EVER British bands!

[@user-en6lb8cm9n]

Точно! Охуенная Банда!!

[@LivingLegend83]

by one of the greatest bands period.

[@pauljohnleadbeater5533]

@@LivingLegend83 it's got a retro 60s feel whilst listening to it but with a modern day twist to it too. Still listening to this wow factor tune 30 years on.

ride's drummer is sublime

[@CurrieNerd]

If you can, go see them live. Not to put shade on the others, but Loz's drumming was the highlight last time I saw them. Everyone was talking about it, afterwards. Never had that at any other gig.

[@Beatles.lassie]

Just watching this May 2022 and the nostalgia and my youth spirit has hit me like a ton of bricks. I actually felt my exact late teenage feelings come back. It’s brought me to tears.

[@Whatshisdan]

And I hope as recently as this week

[@dolson5326]

I love that comment because the same feelings have hit me this year while listening to Ride

[@vector_23]

RIDE bring me to tears at times, as well. That's a very unique power - very few bands do that...

[@davidupperton6906]

100% . Felt the same .

[@barbicastelvi4249]

Probably one of the best songs from this era. Sigh.

[@ivanmaresca9947]

my favorite ride's song..one of the best shoegaze song of all the times

[@pauljohnleadbeater5533]

The fantastic part about this song is you can get lost in it.

[@derekgray644]

I know Ride are back together and recording/touring and that shoegaze bands are clearly influencing new artists but Ride are still criminally under appreciated.

[@rgerwin.3378]

Agreed.

[@jb8280]

Ride. Nowhere. What can I say? We are all here to listen to the greatness they put down on tape that now lives forever digitally. Of course I have the album and the cd(and the cassette). There is brilliance in this album I didn’t even recognize at the time. It’s been thirty years and I still have Ride on heavy rotation. Seagull. Vapour Trail. Sennen. Unfamiliar. Today. Nobody from the shoegaze era could touch these guys. MBV may have gotten all the hype but Ride had the heart. I’m forever a devotee. Long live you brilliant lads.

[@iroscoe]

Drive,distortion,melody the holy trinity of their sound .

[@Edogawa1117]

You nailed it,my friend.Absolutely awesome.

[@user-sh5wk7xe3k]

You're rushing for a time That you don't know Curious of what your feelings are You go Losing sight of that familiar touch You know Sinking into unknown beauty For a day Living everything As it comes and goes The only times you know Have passed away Now you're looking back Where everything seems here Scared of letting All that comfort disappear

[@thomasphansavanh]

Thanks

[@jonpagina]

Thanks for a letter,I´m a from BRAZIL and don´t understand very well the language,just SAMBA...kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk LOVE THE BAND RIDE 🤣😂🥰🥰😍😍🤩😇😇😇

[@kcookshott17]

Mark and Andy harmonize on vocals so well at times it can be tough to tell whose singing lead and many times it's the two of them together. But I've gotten better at figuring it all out, it just took me twenty years.

[@richardbrigg4990]

This is where my Ride started! After watching this on BBC 2's SNUB TV in 1990 aged 16, I went out the next day & bought the first 4 EPs! Then saw them live for the first time in my 6th form when they played Leeds Uni in '92. Then felt the same excitement having not seen them for 20yrs in 2015 at the Albert Hall in Manchester! Great track. The EP's and Nowhere are the soundtrack to my 6th form & student years! With Leave them All Behind thrown in.

[@captainfeedback1]

No you didn't. The 4th EP (Today Forever) with this song on wasn't released until Spring 1991.

[@DomDiLallo]

For three decades, this track has always just taken me away to some other place on some other world ... The drumming is still unlike anything else I've heard... Looking forward to seeing you guys play in Fremantle, WA at the end of 2022.

[@marcelbos9678]

Fell in love with Ride when I was 18. Now, 30(!) years later, I still love them. Best band ever.

[@testaparlante]

You're rushing for a time that you don't know, Curious of what your feelings are you go Losing sight of that familiar touch you know, Sinking into unknown beauty for a day, Living everything as it comes and goes, The only times you know have passed away.

[@chrismorrison2805]

that goddamn drumming is other worldly

[@user-wu8sj3ee3d]

Magic. All elements of a band fusing perfectly.

[@shoegazer93]

This EP......Maybe their finest hour

[@captainfeedback1]

Definitely. I wish they'd made an album instead of an EP in 1991. These four songs are their peak.

[@samayantra]

Best ever shoegazing band, alongside Lush and the Cocteau Twins, its all i ever listened to in the 90s. Memories etched deep into the future. xx

[@lindsayscott4994]

Awesome song. Never tire of it.

[@christopherheppingstall3608]

fucking awesome drummer

[@noeljohnson868]

Easily their best song...probably the best from that whole era...and, OMG, does it stand the test of time...

[@Whatshisdan]

Caught this last night at Enmore Theatre, Sydney. Excellent and a welcome surprise xx

[@regfries8279]

i was there too. magnificent.

[@takuansoho5440]

Wow , they look so young. does that mean I was young once too. Mind Blown.

[@Sladovsky1]

Love the base line in it and and how it flows ...

[@magnumzrare]

Great drummer.

[@HillCountryHawks]

magnumzrare I've always felt he and the drummer of Level 42 were 2 of the best drummers of the bands I grew up listening to. Not to much flash, just on point, and they were able to put emotion into their technique.

[@noeljohnson868]

+magnumzrare ...a truly awesome drummer...

[@Mr130271]

magnumzrare one of the best drummers you'll ever hear fact👍

[@joetilson3827]

Great drummer

[@noeljohnson868]

He's channeling Keith Moon....

[@AlexCavielles]

Living everything as it comes and goes The only times you know have passed away ♡

[@redrich2000]

This is the song that hooked me on shoegaze, before I heard MBV. I had the 12 inch EP on vinyl. To this day, this song sums up shoegaze better than anything IMO.

[@awwgez]

Now this could be one of the best songs ever. It hit me so hard when I first listened to it and can really just freeze you in your tracks with what you're doing with your life. I will always love Ride.

[@angelanicoletti3330]

Thank you RIDE. Looking forward to Berlin in November 2022. What A Lovely Birthday Present!

[@noeljohnson868]

I dunno...how about some Thumbs Up for Best F-In Song of the 1990's?

[@jasminebrowne413]

BBC 4 brought me here . I honestly don't remember this band or song and I was apparently 20 when this song came out and I wish now I was aware of them because I really like this song .🤗🤗🤗

[@chriswallis7910]

Original Gazer here from back when it all began. Andy, Mark, Steve and Loz, thank you for being there then and being here now. Cheers for signing my Weather Diaries album too and see you at The Forum in November. RIDE Army!

[@mattjammy9884]

same...…..not seen em on their reformation yet! they sell out so quick! saw them first for £3 in 1990 in my hometown then at reading 92! great band!

Off the best EP ever made & the best EP cover ever printed....

[@hardtosay4321]

Oh yeah too true👍

[@dvk1798]

unforgetable!!!the decade of 90 was the best!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davimag2071]

YAY! Such a *COOL* song, I'm in love with this killing bass line, the tremolo guitar is awesome and I particularly find it as one the main things that sets them apart from other shoegaze bands, another time: the drummer is amazing! I can easily see it as one of my favorite shoegaze songs so far.

[@gilduff2327]

They're amazing. Great memories from my days at the University. And yes let's not forget the drummer who has his own sound.

[@poulerikhansen7178]

Loved them since 1990. Seen them their 2 times in Denmark. Hope there will be another one. Sound is irresistibly sweet to my ears ❤

[@arnaudv.5880]

One of the greatest EP's of all times

[@joydivisionboy1]

What a great song, what a great band, can't wait for the next Australian tour, i'll be there :)

[@davidupperton6906]

💯%. They're awesome .

[@markmoore2625]

I was still in my 20's when this came out, now over 30 years later it still sounds new and fresh. Saw them live too, and were even better. I'm still convinced Loz Colbert has four arms. Phenomenal.

Loz. Loz Loz Loz ... damn, what a phucking player. Loz is never shoegazing. Moon gazing maybe but it's RIDE, not the Who. Best of everything here. My God, they were so young and so great. Still are.

[@RugerRibeirodosSantos-hw4vb]

The Best band Ever!❤

[@nickrophiliac7469]

This is utterly fucking awesome- and, disgustingly (from my contemporary point of view), they were all of 21(-ish) when they came up with this..

[@razorio007]

Something vaguely cure-ish about this track...or maybe they copied ride.

[@KS-zy3xr]

They were definitely fans of Disintegration-era Cure, by the sounds of it.

[@KS-zy3xr]

I can kind of hear Fascination Street in this song, bass wise.

[@geradoclarke33]

They recycled this song turned it into “ from time to time “ on carnival of light . Still both good songs .

[@BORROVAN26]
