he doesn't sound like a 45 year old man, he still sounds like he sounded in the 90's

[@zootsanchez]

he looks about fucking 79

[@brendaluna173]

zootsanchez lol who cares he can still sing

[@zootsanchez]

He does sound better than ever

[@briancollins1296]

He sounds like he has a bit more range here than he did on the album, which is good.

[@allidock11]

Weak vocals was a part of his charm. He sounds trembling.

[@tombennettonemanband]

the first time i heard this song. i was 23 years old. high as fuck on cocaine walking around Salt Lake City. I walked into a britpop club night and as the club closed the dj through on this song. I had never heard anything like it. From this i discovered Ride, Slowdive, Medicine, Sonic Youth, Catherine Wheel and so many others that added so much beauty to my life. Glad to see them at it again.

[@twoforever1]

holy shit

[@davidlyon3185]

For what it's worth, I hope you're off hard drugs and are still here enjoying music with us.

[@tonys.8368]

Even acoustic, Ride are psychadelic

[@caparcher2074]

I think his voice sounds even better now, more mature

[@lazyhomebody1356]

I'm going to replace the original with this one!

[@christophercrawford6248]

This is the guitarist - not the singer who sings on the original recording.

@@funni150 Does he? So he does. I stand corrected.

[@Jeff-wj4wy]

Unbelievable how his voice his held up over the years..

[@ghostly606]

Amazing! Would be greatest thing ever with that cello on top...

[@allidock11]

This is my favourite song. I remember when this first came out. Ride was EVERYTHING in the very early 90s

[@domo8272]

they should release an acoustic album

I Don't Know Where It Comes From 12"

[@josephmccafferty199]

I have to say. I saw RIDE in Boston a few years ago, and this has always been my favorite song. And I don't mean my favorite Ride song, i mean my favorite song of all time and I listen to tons of stuff. So they are playing on the reunion tour and hit Boston and I'm a little bumded that the crowd isnt bigger and I listened to vapour trail seriously more then 1,000 times and now for the first time i am watching them play this song live and I swear I am overscome with emotion. I can't help that Tears are just streaming down my face. maybe the most emotional moment Ive ever had just over this song.

[@rezkisinuhaji6261]

my son or daughter should watch this in the future

[@agustinabou]

This song is amazing, makes me so melloncollie ✨

[@MysTeri0usMatT7]

I know right, all I feel is the sky above; a perpetual boundless love, combined with an infinite sadness......

[@brunokoch672]

absolutely amazing to hear this track with a voice of a young man in an older body. wonderful

[@donnierussellii4659]

Ride and other like-minded bands from that time enriched my life when I needed it the most.

A buried treasure-type band from that era was called Swell. They were from San Francisco. A pure vibe that still resonates in 2022.

[@Hannah-ei3ji]

one of the very best song ever....... it simply makes my heart explode everytime I hear it

[@Christhyfy]

loved this acoustic version!

[@DieselBarks]

I don't think I ever expected to hear Ride on KEXP. I didn't even know they were still making music. This really takes me back, thanks for the memories :) :) :)

Glad this fantastic band decided to reassemble. Discovered them several years after they stopped recording so its a treat.

[@ccfc1972]

As pure and beautiful as music gets. Perfection.

[@fadhilnzra]

First you look so strong Then you fade away The sun will blind my eyes I love you anyway Thirsty for your 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

[@erikanoemi9626]

It's one of the best songs ever written. It sounds beautiful acoustically, as it does with added electric. No way to make this song sound bad.

A friend introduced me to her friend in a bar years ago. We'd been chatting for a while when I asked him what he did. He said he'd been in a band called Ride. "Oh, are you Mark Gardener?!" "Yes." He was very nice about it. And I was able to tell him I love this song.

Grand song, 90's hits

[@dreameroftheday.8381]

Beautiful... I don’t get it ... they make Oasis and Blur look like also rans. Also such a large catalogue of beautiful melodies that merge into a hypnotic wall of sound. Yet relative lack of recognition. Nowhere Album still in amongst my top ten albums even though I’m more Grunge and Rock orientated.. something about Ride just grabbed me.

[@WhirlingMusic]
