This song was the most emotional for me off of "Going Blank Again." for a period of time. It was 2014 and that was about the time of missing the 90's hit me like a ton of bricks for the first time ever. Beautiful tracks like this has a way of breaking an emotional dam that's been clogged for years you had no idea was there. Anyway I love Ride with all my heart, Hope to see them live one day, those dudes really made incredible music.

I think Ride were the Television of the nineties. Television must have been a huge influence on them. And they made their own thing out of that. I think Ride is a better band than My Bloody Valentine. Whereas "Loveless" often counts as THE shoegaze album, I find Rides debut and this one is better. Maybe it's because it's more rock and less ambient than MBV. The ringing guitars, the brilliant melodies, beautiful voices. This song is one of the best album closers ever. Oh, and rest in piece Tom Verlaine
