I'm really sorry for your loss... I can't imagine the pain you are feeling now. For me, the possibility of losing my daughter is a real nightmare. Be well and strong, you will meet your son again someday.

The ending is just really sweet

Oh buddy. I'm so very sorry. In time this so.g may bring you great memories of the best times with your beautiful son. I love this song. Takes me back... sorry for your loss. I hope you are okay. Sending love from Western Australia

I was expecting some nostalgia from this youtube search but I was not expecting to fully burst into tears because of a comment. All my condolences.

Sending you my love and best wishes, My Friend 🙏💓💓

for sure, i have loved this song for 30 years , and rarely do i notice the drumming in any of my shoegaze fav's, first thing i thought listening today was, damn this drummer is great .

the song in this song is absolutely fucking amazing..

@@herchelleonwood7463 wasn't it andy bell, who later joined oasis?

Sorry for your loss, I hope you get to meet her again one day

@@JV110 Thank you very much. I find comfort in believing that I will. You are so kind. xo

Found this play list n leapt onto this, historically one of a handfull of songs so subtle, nuanced , delicately crafted even, that triggered a deep soulfull pause for thought n reflection and that's without carrying the weight that you attach to it , at the end we become one with all who meant so much but went before and miss with all that we treasured and enjoyed together ...

I'm so sorry for your loss. It seems this song holds a dear place in so many people's hearts. Sending you a big hug. I hope you're ok?

@@cjwhiterabbit1 nicely said and very profound words at the end...

So true...

🙏

Yep. My 9 year old hears this and says, "Hey it is Ride and Dad's favorite song."

Yup… me and my girls love song from high school (90’s)… she’s now my wife and our beautiful child loves our song…

Right there with ya!

wrong we are 60-100 years

I was looking for this comment, it is the second song on the B side of the tape that gives Patrick

@@AdriLop that's why I'm here!!

We are nothing, we are one and we are infinite at once. But I can't prove that

We can be infinite

Aww that's such a wholesome story

thats beautiful

@@rickdlt amen brother.

Shoegaze?

@@taraiarusso9625Shoegaze is the genre of Ride and their contemporaries, although this song is on the brighter side of it.

Bret Helm's Life On This Planet Blog absolutely

+Bret Helm's Life On This Planet Blog 20+ years have gone by, but each play STILL feels like I'm hearing it for the first time

totally agreed

beaugangles

No doubt :-)

I can't read Japanese so Google translated it. What an accurate comment

素晴らしくて詩的なコメント

@@barbanteeletrico you got that damn straight

3:30 Isn't the main instrument at the end a wind instrument over the strings? Or a very bad violin. The notes are too abrupt (4:02) - sounds more like a #bombard (Britain), #shehnai (India), or some kind of #oboe.

@@goatlps viola I reckon

I thought it was a Cello and perhaps a violin. ??? Easy to find out these days.

What does this mean

Well, if you did not understand what it means, maybe this song is not for you. Because it means what this song means. It means missed opportunities, and all that...

THanks brother / sister. THAT is dope. thats what everybody needs to hear and what it was about ^ - random 27yo

💗

You’re the coolest kid out there.

@@jb8280 Thank you ^_^ 🫶

Dood go go go and do not look back.

Seeing Slowdive in 92 must have really been something! Im jealous

This isn't goth

@@mikkeljannssen3779 no shit.

@@mikkeljannssen3779 the clubs.... I know what he means. You'd dance to the Cure and Ministry and wear your black eyeliner, but shoegaze would get mixed in... Those things all came together to be called "emo" in the 2000s. Oh My Goth... We'd also be dancing to the start of the rave scene It's like that Dead Milkmen song.... "You'll dance to anything By Public Image Limited You'll dance to anything By The Smiths..."

@@mikkeljannssen3779 many original shoegazer fans and bands came from a Goth background

I saw Ride play this live in Sydney in September, Jon. The care they put in for this song, they know how important it is.

It's a beautiful song . Sorry for your loss . X

I know exactly how you feel, mate. A friend of mine died almost 5 years ago and certain songs were 'ours'. You never stop missing them but nobody can take away the happy times you both shared. They're yours forever.

Music is unique to everyone. Look at me :, I want aphex twin playing at my wake!! 🤔

Desperate 'made in a shed' music. You end up wanting a stiff drink after listening to this stuff. All clashing guitars and moaning vocals.

What an incredible experience! And yes, I'd join with you as naming this my all-time favourite song.

i am definitely jealous

I was at the Boston show Was amazed at their sound.

Music like this has the power to make men who rarely cry start to sob. I hope I return to this song and these comments when I'm 46.

I was there with you in spirit. It's so amazing they did that reunion tour, they weren't even speaking to each other when they recorded Tarantula

Still one of my favorite bands. Their music is so iconic

Like fine wine. Funny thing is, they are now trying to imitate them and nobody comes close.

not that underated in UK, they were on 'Top of the pops' twice!!

Leave Them All Behind ! Remarkable drumming.

Plus the drum sound on this album is stellar!

Indeed

Idiot question...what is “agitated drums”...?

@@Oh_I_Will my guess is drums that are a bit random, syncopated (?) not easy to follow. I personally love 'em. Good ol' Loz, great drummer 😊

Beautifully said...

I wouldn't call this agitated drums, quite the opposite actually - feels very liberated. So much freedom, and as someone already in the comments has mentioned "random, not easy to follow". It's more like improv drums, which definitely requires you to be more open than closed or "agitated".

Couldn't have said it better myself :)

I've been fully aware of this, and I've been waiting for it.

@The Blissful Zombie You're kinda grumpy, yeah? Oh well!! Hugs!!!!🌈💗😋

I'm a Boomer (1956) and I must graciously disagree about "rock 'n' roll." My gen was into R&R because it was a statement of defiance against supposedly bad stuff, or just uptightness in general. This shoegaze is so calm, mellow Zen though. That's what attracts me. My gen did all this suburbia rebellion ... that went pretty much nowhere and was too often just rebel chic BS. These guys (and other shoegaze) are doing introspection. They don't have sticks in the hands trying to poke somebody in the eye like most of my gen's bands did. So yeah, I'm taking a permanent break from "fake shake-up" and Momma's little malcontent theater. Nobody in Ride is sneering at me in their videos. Nice that.

Agreed. The best shoegazing albums ever. The Verve's A Storm in Heaven slightly falls short, otherwise it's also a great record.

try eyedazzler from Alison's halo, especially "Leech". just underrated

Robin Bristault Yes, this song is absolutely brilliant. I like Slowdive - "Blue Skied an' Clear" too. These songs put our mind to another dimension, I love it so much.

French Films - White Orchid

Galaxie 500 - On Fire My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise, Isn't Anything JAMC - Psychocandy Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (more dream-pop but an incredible and extremely influential album)

Agreed. As Roger Waters says if it doesn't move you its not worthy.

Yea, take me with man

👍

who's charlie?

You are a good man, and have a great music taste.

I'm turning 46 leo ♌🦁

Leave Them All Behind- is that the other?

@@lozu8947 "Today" is the other one

In my 20’s right now loving this stuff. It’s amazing.

Although I cannot go to concert I still enjoy the music. We are all lucky because music is timeless and what is written will be here forever :)

I just realized I'm the only 13 year old in my school who appreciate Shoegaze. Kinda sad, I want to be able to talk about this music to my friend but they're all into pop-ish Tik Tok songs which I can't stand to listen to for more than a couple minutes.

@@traxcanonch.2421 Keep listening to what you're into, whatever the genre. Music is such a powerful tool that can be called upon at any time to make you feel better.

@@traxcanonch.2421man you’re on the right track Keep being you I listened to weird shit in highschool and now I’m 32 and everyone around me is so dumbed down with todays music and I can please myself with old autechre or some shoegaze etc It’s a route not everyone takes but those who take it find the most beautiful music ever

agree

tragicc 🙏🏼

+Netta Sinaga Very beautiful song, the cello really adds a graceful poetic quality.

uuuuuuuuuuu

ikr, that's the incredible power of dreampop/shoegaze/chillwave/vaporwave/glo-fi songs

Coisas da Lolinha the best genre 😍

a long time ago i did met someone, and played this song on the stereo for her, we did not last but we were good, and sad in the way this song is.

Thanks for your beautiful words. I agree. You write with feelings

Hey Man, I was so lucky to have run into a kid from England in the early 90s or would have missed this as well. If you dig it, look into 'shoegaze' music. Lush, Pale Saints, My Bloody Valentine, Catherine Wheel, Stone Roses, Chapterhouse, Dandy Warhols (especially their early stuff), Brian Jonestown Massacre, etc. Soul crushing good stuff, boss. Cheers.

Charts stuff is all crap!!! If you're searching for great, real good music (listen here!) in days like these you have to dig very deep, so very very deep.

Now go straight to Leave Them All Behind

I love perks of being a wallflower but I didn’t know this song was mentioned in the book nor movie

incrivelmente incrível!

I feel you. I was born in '92 but didn't discover Shoegaze bands til around 2011. But there is something undeniably special about that time period of music in the early 90s

Brenda Luna Poetic.

Thank you so much

So Poetic

thanks, tho i think it says "thirsty for your smile, i watch you for a while"

Such a good experience

It's "thristy for your smile"

For sure.
