Ride - Today

Today Forever EP

[@jb8280]

One of their most underrated tracks. It’s a shimmery summer slice of pop perfection. Brings back nothing but beautiful memories of Oklahoma summers. No school. Just driving in my beat up car, heading to Dallas to see them with Lush. Just a pure good thing.

[@herbertrichard614]

Cool, man. Good memory nicely rendered.

[@nightchairrecords8655]

Awesome

Saw them in Detroit on the same tour!! Those were fantastic times.

[@RobertRoot-q9e]

My youth in a mental hospital for 5 years. Dreaming on this video.

[@jb8280]

Ride to me is like first hearing The Stone Roses when their debut album came out. It was a sound unlike anything else at the time. An ethereal shimmery melody that harkened back to the sixties mersey psychedelic pop sounds, but added a modern touch be it distortion or more complex drum patterns and bass lines. Taking the best bits from both eras and creating something timeless and new. That’s why today in 2025, I am still listening to Ride and the Roses. Classics only are classics because they are everlasting.

[@RobertRoot-q9e]

It was my youth 5: years in a mental hospital dressing in the day room while watching this video free now and dreaming more

[@elibraden9546]

These guys are the most underrated band in the history of rock music

[@noobishicecream]

Eli Braden that's shoegaze

[@OneD26]

because that's not rock, that's shoegaze and they're actually pretty famous in their genre, but yeah, not as famous as the beatles or the rolling stones that everyone knows even people that are not rock fans, not sure why tho

[@clumsiii]

nah.... they're pretty rated. Boo Radleys, All the Saints, Pale Saints, This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Jeff Buckley all more under rated than Ride. idk. They had a good run! I collected 3 eps when i was a kid in 91. Lost them all, somehow. So glad i can find the songs here

[@mlcool6009]

Eli Braden and Spacemen 3

Ride are actually Mesopotamian! Pretty sure the Akkadian language put out the tightest beats.....

[@dirkjewitt5037]

I used to sing this to my son to get him to sleep at night. The song is love. Pure and simple. I found the song on a Sire music sample CD called "Just Say Yes" or it was "Just Say Da", it's been so long I don't remember the title. My friends and I started a band and used The Cure and Ride as our muse. I miss feeling music. Not just listening to it, but FEELING it.

[@infaride]

This song helped me (finally) put someone in the past and get on with my life. Can't say anymore than thank you RIDE.

[@infaride]

Would you keep a room in your house empty and with the door locked incase one day someone wanted to stay their and tried to get in? I don't think so. If you wanted a guest, you would make the room nice inside and the door would be open. This room is your heart. The experience that you have described is clearly very painful and hurtful. These feelings will last, but they will also diminish if you try to keep that room in good condition for other people.

[@25decstudios]

infaride I'm revisiting this band after some time away and this song is having the same affect! letting go of the past. ready to embrace the future.

[@Whatshisdan]

infaride I'd rather keep the room...

[@hjordiswolff]

such bullshit. if it didnt work it just didnt work. loving someone is not something rational. I would love a guy so open about his feelings, such rare creatures. I dont belive somebody who really loved someone could put it in the past. It wasnt love. same goes for somebody who left you back. move on and realize it wasnt true love.

[@crystalblur3]

Thank you Alan Mcgee. Thank you creation family for changing my life in so many ways from 1990-1998 I was transfixed and transformed never to be the same again.

[@liamevans1630]

I get you. I remember around 1996 I was rearranging my CDs and noticed that a huge amount of my favourites (then and now) were on Creation (Ride, MBV, Boo Radley's, early JAMC, early Oasis etc). What a label!

[@christopherhau3974]

Liam Evans You forgot Slowdive, their album may not earn good reviews back then, but now they are true masterpieces and benchmark of the dream pop genre.

[@JHatLpool]

Alan McGee never mentions them, however. It's like he's ashamed of something.

I remember being in Churchill, Manitoba one summer, I went on a bike ride during a sunny day, played my music on my headphones and went up to this hill overlooking the whole town and the coastline while this song started playing, one of the most peaceful moments I’ve had.

[@spartan876]

Wild being in churchill Manitoba as it is, even more wild of a tale considering there’s probably literally nobody who listened to ride in Churchill Manitoba 😂 next you gotta listen to polar bear by ride while watching polar bears in Churchill Manitoba 👍

Masterpiece from Ride

[@DentyOne]

This song, right here. My God... I used to listen to this with the top of my head pushed up against the boombox, eyes closed, and just... get lost. So good. So many incredible memories of the early 90's. I was a fool, I was young, I was in love. Man, life is AWESOME.

@@RyanWSi Yeh leave them all behind is epic.

[@MysTeri0usMatT7]

Oh quit being so prissy now the entire essence of the record is just simply embellished with magnificence and a unique enveloping magic which is undeniably woven together by each track. Perhaps the tracks could have been divided in half as parts I&II akin to chapters in a novel. I see the album or at least the second half as a story book of yearning for a long lost drifting love sequestered out at sea under a deep blue sky as the cover compels me to daydream.

it takes 3 minutes for this masterpiece to be uveilled when the drums get in and then another minute before distortion makes it gigantic. after 5 minutes it becomes the greatest rock track you have heard.

What blows me away from Ride and say Slint is how young they were when they made their mark on so many bands going today from Mogwai, Slowdive, just lads man!

[@T--------]

Some of the most iconic albums ever were made by really young people and it's unbelievable, I'll never get over Ian Curtis and the rest of joy division being 22-23 when making Unknown Pleasures

[@scottboyd3838]

@@T-------- Oh dude! I hear ya, Ian Curtis, was what, 21 or 22, when he wrote Love Will Tear Us Apart. With the deep introspection in his lyrics showed signs of years of wisdom and influence. But no, he always had it, a totally anomaly, like Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, to name a They're very few and so ethereal. The one foot in the Grave colloquialism.

[@youandwhosearmy6339]

This track would sound great in a David Lynch movie. Especially the last couple of minutes where it goes really trippy. I imagine some seedy club with all those Lynchian colours and atmospheres happening on screen. Some scene from Fire walk With Me or Lost Highway maybe.

Great ending to an amazing album! I really enjoyed Ride's sound, it's like a different perspective on shoegaze, it's more alt rock like and closer to britpop. They're full of energy, nice melodies, outstanding drummings and beautiful guitar tones.
