This is going to sound crazy, but when this song came out in the early 1990s my youngest sister said it was her favorite song ever. I remember watching her bounce along to the song whenever it came on the radio, lost in the music. Flash forward about 15 years to the mid-2000s, when she suffered a serious medical event that put her into a coma. As her condition deteriorated the doctors told my parents to prepare for the worst. We literally began making funeral arrangements for her. My mother picked out her burial dress, and I burned a CD to play at her funeral service. This was the song I selected to be played. Not only was it her favorite song, but the lyrics will send a chill up your spine under those circumstances: First you look so strong, then you fade away The sun will blind my eyes, I'll love you anyway Thirsty for your smile, I watch you for a while You are a vapour trail in a deep blue sky The story has a happy ending: my sister eventually recovered from the coma. Although she suffered severe hearing loss and is still legally deaf from the high levels of medications that were administered to save her life, she is alive and well today and continues to love this song. Music has a truly remarkable ability to augment and ultimately transcend the human experience.
Christ, only 19 likes including mine and no replies. That is a travesty for such a wonderful comment. So glad she pulled through. Your last sentence sums up the power of music, surely the greatest of all the arts and the pinnacle of human expression. What a song. How did they conceive it and record it so perfectly? Wow.
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
It was an experience when we first played this back in 90. The years have been filled and fuelled by music and concerts going along with life. The gang is older - 49,50 - and this album has more attached to it then we could have expected. Makes us feel young. Love it. RIDE.
Mate, I literally feel shivers instantly when this tune comes on. I still remember vividly the time when I was stuck with my mate's (at that time we were still best mates that is) gorgeous Mexican girlfriend in a bathroom just me and her, while people were waiting for the locksmith of the apartment complex to come undo the lock. She had long thick shiny black hair to her bum, an amazing round, big butt, beautiful dark brown eyes... The music was playing in the living room, and we started slowly tongue kissing while holding each other alone, just me and her in the bathroom. This song was playing in the living room. And nobody knew what was happening... I later texted her that week and she snuck into my place to have the most amazing sex I've ever had with any woman. The point is, this song brings me back to that moment. And it feels so f*cking good, I can't... Damn. I get emotional everytime😁
Maybe it's just me, but I love the guitars in this song. They're so pretty and gorgeous, and they sound a lot like The Byrds at times. I honestly believe that The Byrds would be so proud of Ride, for what they did on Nowhere.
I am so privileged to have grown up when tracks like this first came out swapping new bands and tracks with friends, the feeling of overwhelming youth and freedom the lazy days lost just feeling the music, every time I here these and other classics of the soundtrack to my youth I fill with that same feeling I got the first time these graced my ears! for people just finding these welcome to the gateway to eternal youth

Christopher Heppingstall yeah, he is stunning. One of the reasons i got into this band so much 25 years ago. And he isn't flash. Just sits there and produces magic with no need to gurn with his top off, like so msny other drummers. Only Reni is is the same class.
Laurence Colbert is great. He has kind of a jazz feel but harder. Brendan Canty is awesome as well but he's kind of locked into the same time signature. You guys should check out Rat Scabies from The Damned, especially with Paul Grey on bass, ie The Black Album. Simone Pace with Blonde Redhead was a real treat on Misery is a Butterfly, when he was messing around with circular sounds and clockwork. Guy Picciotto produced that album, speaking of Fugazi.
Absolutely. The same goes for the rising and then crashing waves of chords in Sennen also by Ride. They end far too soon. Beautiful beyond words. We just have to feel it.
i was singing “glit-ter in your eye, awoahahhhhahh” the whole day. i kept on searching up the lyrics but couldn’t find anywhere until i searched in my playlists. i replayed it till i fell asleep.
I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn’t try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know that these people exist.
This track fully adumbrates the 90s, in the exact way that New Order's Ceremony adumbrates the 80s. It's all here - listen carefully and you can even hear Neutral Milk Hotel in utero
Whilst Ride were one amazing group the drummer was off the scale, everything about this band will never be replicated at the point they made this epic album and the age they were. Top 10 albums of all time
A friend introduced me in colleg in 1991 to his vast collection and knowledge of indie rock and this CD single was one of the highlights. I must've bugged him to let me borrow it 50 times. Lol edit add: the single had the great white shark on the cover.
One of my regrets in life is not remembering the day, the moment, when I first listened to this track. I suppose it's a little like when climbers can't remember the day they first heard about Mount Everest, or cyclists the Tour De France.
Ok this was this hit? I still have this cd but this song seemed to be everywhere at some point. Seemed they were not appreciated back in the day, at least in the US. Maybe the vocals not ideal for audience. But I met a few way back when who got it and it still exceeds the sound limiters for beauty and volume wall.
I'll toss my hat in the ring as well. If you would be so kind check out the latest album from Suede. The album is called Night Thoughts and the musically minded amongst you will enjoy it. Just listen to the track called outsiders or The track called I don't know how to reach you, and make your own conclusion as to the merits of Suede. An extensive back catalogue as well. The tracks I suggested, give one or both of them a go yeah? That would be lovely. Thanks folks.

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

Is this a member of the band Ride? If so, thank you for some of the best songs to come out of that era. You rock!
Heard this when I was teenager. Perks of being a wallflower. Has been a close friend ever since.
this album changed my life
Near ten years later, I hear you x
Maybe the most underrated masterpiece I've ever heard.
One of the best underrated bands ever!
One of the most romantic pop songs written in the 20th century.
I don't understand how 2 people could not like this.. This takes me to a beautiful place.. I was so young and everything was perfect...
Maybe it's just me, but I love the guitars in this song. They're so pretty and gorgeous, and they sound a lot like The Byrds at times. I honestly believe that The Byrds would be so proud of Ride, for what they did on Nowhere.
I believe the Byrds were one their influences for their later album.
Yeah kind of a Sundays Smiths Meet Cocteaus approach, er, sort of
The Rydes
This song has excellent guitar work.
Look atcher shoes. One love

I’d give anything to listen to this song again for the first time again
It was the first time I heard it today, I don't know much about shoegaze this was just in a playlist...it's beautiful. Wow
powerful, beautiful song...not many like this anymore
A soundtrack for all the good times.

There's something very calming and soothing of that the album cover. This is why this album is one of the greatest, besides the music.
Pure bliss
Shoegaze away- great live band
One of Ride's best songs in my opinion.
Hauntingly beautiful.
My beautful,is Wonderful ❤
*hauntingly majestic* is my term!!
Its hard to believe this song has so few views. Ride, Thank you for defining my college years.
The video has over 1 million views, although should be 1 billion really.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (great book)
The reason I read that book was because I saw they mentioned this song in there
This song makes me tear up even at 44 today, maybe more so now.
Same age feel the same

Best shoegazer song ever and my favourite song ever.
Agree
best drummer ive ever heard

@@liamevans1630 Fugazi's drummer is right up there too.
@@Boric78 Danny Carey is #1 right now.
Laurence Colbert is great. He has kind of a jazz feel but harder.
Brendan Canty is awesome as well but he's kind of locked into the same time signature.

I wish the outro would never end. It's perfect, celestial, comforting.
Absolutely. The same goes for the rising and then crashing waves of chords in Sennen also by Ride. They end far too soon. Beautiful beyond words. We just have to feel it.
I love this song. It makes me cry and smile at the same time.
この世で最も美しい曲
コード進行、サウンド、メロディ、歌詞
大好き。俺の中のシューゲの原点はride
Hajimemashite! Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
this is the weirdest its ever felt to be alive i can only descrobe it through shoegaze
I don't even know what to say. I relate to your comment so much, it's unbelievable.
@@upretiaditya even more so now

Im in my early 20s rn and this is my jam bro 🎵
Great song from a great album.
This is one of my favourite songs ever.

The best! Love you guys! All the best to you.

This is a nice little church, Ceremony is a cathedral.

'Nowhere' has a very similar feel to My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless', both albums engineered/mixed by the great Alan Moulder...
Both excellent albums, but totally different sounds -:)
Alan boulder was in pschocandy to as a assistant enginyer
*Ride*, drugs, 90's.. Wanna twist that fuckin' time, for an eternity!
end of the 80's beginning of 90's what a time it was...
Just an incredible song.
I’m still listening to this thanks to an old buddy of mine from far back…
Legendary
This was the second ever Ride song I ever heard at the tail end of 1991, little did I realise I would see them live less than a year later !
Soooo achingly beautiful....::sigh::
Whilst Ride were one amazing group the drummer was off the scale, everything about this band will never be replicated at the point they made this epic album and the age they were. Top 10 albums of all time
Beautiful...Beautiful..!!
La la la la la.....Brilliant tune.
sublime brilliance.....
Those Ride boys play very lovely the Queen would say.
A friend introduced me in colleg in 1991 to his vast collection and knowledge of indie rock and this CD single was one of the highlights. I must've bugged him to let me borrow it 50 times. Lol edit add: the single had the great white shark on the cover.
Just saw you tonight in Toronto... Amazing
I like to drum along to this .... but really I'm just having fun banging my fingers on the desk :D
Love this song
I was shocked when I firstly saw the jacket at Virgin megastore in Shinjuku 27 years ago

Maravillosa canción 😭💗
Sublime song. Sublime Lp!

Their best song!
This song reminds me of my college days.
i think this and dreams burn down are the most brilliant tracks off the album
I'm 14 but I'm so glad that I found this song
Same
This goes out to my first high school crush from 2008. After all these years I still hold her deep in my heart :')
To every teenagers out there. It will all come your way one day. Just be patient ! ;)
Exactly : they 're here !!! 😉
Thank you very much for these words, every encouragement makes a difference!
And then you'll lose it all to gain back double, then after losing triple, one comes to a steady rest at the beginning.
False advertising kids
im almost 40 and nothing came my way..
This band had it all..and more..............i adore them.x my boyfriend came back from iraq 1990.scared.this helped him through.
Hope he's doing well
I will never forget the shock when I encountered this song. forever

Probably the best song ever recorded.
Taste is good. This is epic

lovely
Esta bien chingona
end of the song rlly does something to ya

This sounds like a sunny day
Andy Bell is genius.
One of my regrets in life is not remembering the day, the moment, when I first listened to this track.

tripping in a field with a stereo on a summers day happy vapours
ride forever in a trickly sky.

My friend drowned dead on Xmas eve and police have left him for 4 days man.😢😢😢. This song is getting posted now 😢😢😢❤
UFFFFF....
I saw this album cover move. Now I know why they used it. If you know, you know.

Right here! :)
See yous tonight at the Ritz.
Someone tell the band that Saramia bras ripped off this masterpiece for their ad.
The guitar sounds like Morrissey’s live version of speedway
