- Here is a video for Dewey Cox's Beautiful Ride from the film Walk Hard.
Lyrics:
Now that I have lived
A lifetime's worth of days
Finally I see
The folly of my ways
So listen when I sing of
The temptations of this world
Fancy cars and needles
Whisky, flesh and pearls
And then in the end
It's family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
It's about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you've made cry
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
Beautiful ride (Chorus)
As I stand on the precipice of death
My perspective is enormous
Every leaf, every cloud
I see the hands which have formed us
And some days all you got
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
And you whistle some quick melody
To the ghosts down at the dock
It's about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you've made cry
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
Beautiful ride(Chorus)
(bridge--)
Sing in to your hand
Lead the marching band
Don't you let 'em fade your colors gray
'Cause when all is said and done
When youth is spent and burned
You'll see that it's all about
Music!
Flowers!
Babies!
Sharing the good times!
Traveling not just for business!
Excepting your mortality!
This- is finally what I've learned!
And then in the end
It's family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
It's about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you've made cry
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
Beautiful ride
(Chorus-2x)

The songs in this movie have no fucking business being so good. It's crazy how much work they put into each of them. They totally ride the line of being brilliant in a comedic sense and genuinely brilliant.
+Dick Pepperfield I was just a 'sort of' fan of John C. Reilly before I saw this.Now I'm a BIG fan! Not only is he a terrific comedic actor, he's got a really great singing voice!
+Dick Pepperfield thats exactly what i think
+Dick Pepperfield They wrote about 40 songs for this movie..
I was also Amazingly impressed by the songs John C. Reilly sang himself in this movie....blew me away. This 'Beautiful Ride' song was a masterpiece!
i'd like to hear all the others that didnt make it. they were all great. if they were meant to be serious, they would have been hits.
The ride may have been beautiful but he Never paid for drugs.....not once.
Michael Rigney if weed is the cheapest drug there is then how come he never paid for drugs...not once
He did once when he brought Sam a bag of weed reuniting
That is the beautiful part.
And those stupid, siamese glass cats...
😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂
This was suppose to be a comedy...but that song made me cry.
+DA KING IN DA NORFF!! It's surprisingly beautiful and profound for a slapstick comedy.
love this song. have ever since seening the movie
I think we all have BPD. It makes me cry too.
Everyone with heart cry during this scene :)
It's not just you. Jake Kasdan, the director, and Judd Apatow said in the Bonus Features for the DVD that the reactions they got from test audiences were similar to yours - they got choked up. So they actually added the comedic "flashbacks" into the song to lighten the mood.
As much as I enjoy the movie, I listen to the soundtrack even more. Also, there's a deluxe version of the soundtrack - only available as a digital download, as far as I know - available. I think I got it from ITunes. And I believe it contained every song from the movie except the remake of David Bowie's 'Starman,' which, oddly enough, IS on the regular version of the soundtrack. I read somewhere that they wanted to release a physical box set and call it "Box of Cox," but for whatever reason, that never happened.
And there's one more song that I know of that only appears in the Bonus Features - and is also here on TH-cam somewhere - 'A Dewey Cox Christmas.' John Reilly channels Elvis for that one. :)
This film is one of the greatest comedies ever made.
criminally underrated
and so few people actually saw it :/
+Jaime Nunez Forreal haha i show this to everyone i meet and or friends that haven't seen it yet... everyone needs to see this film atleast once in their goddamn life!!
I annoy everybody in my life by singing the praises of this movie
You cant call urself a comedy lover if you don't love this..
"accepting your mortality" oh yea cause he thought he was Zeus XD. the most underrated movie of all time, i think ive seen this more than 20 times yet it never gets old.
I had it all, I had it all.. and then I F'ed up
My favorite part is when his brother get a real bad case of getting cut in half
This movie is 100% everything that an a musician goes through I am a musician myself and I'm saying this I've never seen a movie that follows my life more than this one
And you never paid for drugs. Not once
Sam Always Told Him "You Don't Want No Part Of This" And Dewey Always Wanted Part Of It Especially That Cookcaine 😂
"travelling not just for business" Most poetic line in any song ever.
Agreed. I'd put that line -- along with the "mouse with the overbite" line from the Bob Dylan song -- up against anything Lennon/McCartney or Dylan himself ever wrote. That song is very deep.
@@BClarke I thought it meant he was cheating.
"Dewey Cox needs to think about his whole life before he goes on stage." best part
It’s amazing how a crude raunchy parody movie can have such an incredible ending. That last shot when it’s the young Dewey singing it always gets me
At that moment, Dewey was bigger than Holly and Elvis.
You gone smellblind, son
How in the world had I never noticed that before??
It may be a good song however it doesn't change the fact that the wrong kid died.
I know this is two years old but the wrong kid died dammit
Well, a machete fight, shit happens
He wasnt half the boy nate was. He wasnt even half the top half of nate was after he cut him in half
Memorex996 are you saying he wasn’t even one quarter of the boy nate was?
Nor the fact that he never paid for drug!!
This film is very underrated. It starts as a simple parody of music biopics, but ultimately ends on a heartfelt message. It uses comedy to ease the audience in and takes a shift in the third act. Much like the characters life, it begins in the sphere of esthetic and worldly pleasure to ultimately end in the sphere of self reflection and existential understanding.
Uh...yeah. You do realize this is a mockery of “walk the line” the Johnny Cash story, right?
Donny Jepp That’s what he just said man. That it is mostly a parody but then when it reaches its third act, it actually becomes its own film.
@@BCS1105 yeah completely misses his point
sir edzonko Right? He literally just repeated the guy’s point.
@@BCS1105 lol
"This is finally what I've learned."
The delivery of this line is absolutely perfect. What a fucking great actor, and fantastic movie.
The film that made me burst out laughing and nearly cry at the same time
haha Vietnamese
@@luyenluyen7763 Shut up you’re racist
Same
I want this song to be played at my funeral.
Pretty much
+Disco Saturn Loves To Do Subtitled Comedies and Other Things 24/7
Who doesn't?
Absolutely
Hell yeah
Right on.
This is one of the most criminally underrated comedies ever made. This came out when I was in high school and watching it back then it absolutely blew my mind to see a film this silly refuse to take itself seriously while still realizing such grand ambitions, and it amazes me that it has held up so well. I feel sorry for anyone that missed out on this one, or never grasped its appeal.
It literally killed the music biopic for a decade. It may not have been a box office success but it's considered one of the most clever comedies of this century so far.
no joke, this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Blud knows what I’m saying
All the songs fuckin slap titties
💯💯💯 I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way true masterpiece
It is.
Factssssss
John C Riley proves just how good he is right here.
“Lovin’ yourself, but not only yourself .” Despite this being a comedy, this song is great and I consider them words to live by. JCR is a star
He is a star. But he never paid for drugs... not once.
Who is JC are? I can only see deal with Cox here
Who still looks this song up in 2024 to listen to it because it was such a great song? Me 😊
On my daily Playlist this is grown ppl music❤
Hope you all have a beautiful ride of a life! We only get one chance. Make it a great one
☝️🖤
This song should’ve been nominated for the Oscars
Fucking yeah
Yh
And a Grammy. It really is that good. Whoever was behind writing each of the Dewey Cox songs in the movie should get a Grammy, An Oscar, Presidential Medal of Freedom, be Knighted, and have at least one item on the menu at McDonalds named after them.
Being a big fan of American music from every era in the 20th century, it was a lot of fun and actually edifying to listen to the songs on the solid track and figure out who he was meant to be mimicking. “Black Sheep” is obviously an homage to Brian Wilson and Pet Sounds, “A life Without You” is all Roy Orbison, “Royal Jelly” is 100% Bob Dylan. The soundtrack is one of the most criminally underrated, original musical compilations ever attached to a film.
And can we talk about what an amazing vocalist John C Riley is?? I have actually put “Beautiful Ride” and “A Life Without You (Is No Life At All) in my Favorites mix . They really are that good.
These songs are genuinely great on their own, but when you stop to think about the fact that the writers were actually trying to capture the sound of particular artists without straight up copying any of their music. The fact that they were able to do that, and do it SO well, takes the music to a whole different level in my opinion. I can’t wait until my daughter is old enough to start watching movies like “Ray” and “Walk the Line” (the serious biopics) because once she has seen them, the culmination of her musical/artist biopic education is going to be Walk Hard. The way the writers and producers managed to work in SO many life experiences of other famous musicians into one lifetime makes Dewey Cox the Forrest Gump of the music world.
@@FloridaManMatty I'd enjoy a Cox Footlong.
What is nominated door?
Did anyone else cry when it showed young and old Dewey when he raised his hands I cried
I cried as a kid to this whole song and that part and it still hits hard
I have to admit, I did not expect a song from a comedy/parody film to be this good.
The wrong movie won an Oscar that year.....
John Booker's Full spectrum And the wrong kid died!
They had the VerTEEgo
@d d lmao it's okay mate breathe
The wrong movie won!
Seriously, I have no clue how it didn't even get a single nomination for Best Original Song. They could have easily nominated 5 songs from the film and it would have still been a better category than the one they went for.
This could've won an Oscar fo best song easy.
When i died this is my song
@@glennwright6449 when you died? What was that like was it stressful or fun?
Still "Falling Slowly" did deserve it.
ugh, the 'whiskey flesh and pearls' part is just *chef's kiss*
I love how his own ghost is watching him, this movie is so perfect
randy joble in the theatrical it was the ghost of Jonah Hill as Nate. Don’t know why it was different in the unrated cut.
BlueRaccoon27 The one on Netflix shows the same thing.
@@Patrick19833 no, it's Dewey's parents an Jonah hill.
The one I torrented was the Jonah Hill ver.
i always get a little emotional when i hear this song..
me too
You're not alone
Eudaimonia TheCatLady_ me too
The song speaks truth and beauty
Im 32 and I cry like a baby when I hear it.
This song reminds me of looking at the big picture. It's not about work, meetings, paying taxes. It's about appreciating what you have and trying to enjoy your ride in this world and making sure that the people who love you know how much you love them back. In the heat of everyday life, it's very easy to forget that and songs like these help you remember it and can get you out of really dark spots in your life. Yes, I took all of that from a movie with lots of dicks on screen and where a guy breaks a sink every time he gets angry. I fucking love this movie and love this song even more!
The perfect combination of beautiful songs and John C. Reilly's unbelievable vocals.
John C Reilly is very talented. Even though this movie is a comedy he has performed on broadway and can play the guitar and sing. Makes me like him that much more.
Kinslayer loved him Chicago
He was nominated for a golden globe for this
The effort he put in to the last "Beutiful Ride" lyric was amazing
I saw this in the theater at 15, and was not prepared for the emotional impact it dealt. 10 years later, it's still masterful somehow. A hilarious yet strangely powerful movie.
It’s one of a kind for sure. Although it’s brilliant as a comedy it’s actually an excellent film on its own too. This scene is especially great.
How do you feel now?
I HAVE NOT WATCHED THIS MOVIE IN 4 YEARS BUT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE BEAUTIFUL RIDE SONG IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
Not only does he sing it well, the lyrics are surprisingly good.
"As I stand on the precipice of death, my perspective is enormous" that statement is Golden
Eddie Vedder inducted Dewey Cox? WHAT? I have seen this movie a thousand times when I was young! But now, I realize that this guy is fckn Eddie Vedder!
29 People never payed for drugs. NOT ONCE.
And also John C. Reilly has an amazing voice. I couldn't believe it when I found out that he sung all of these himself. That is one talented man.
*paid
His voice is beautiful, but not as beautiful as Will Ferrell’s. He’s the songbird of the generation. Have you heard him sing “Let’s Give Em Something to Talk About?”
"Dewie died three minutes after this performance"
yah we know that..fucking asshole
He killed that shit tho lol
Its about the good walk...and the hard walk...and the young girls you made cry.... he sings it so awesome,it really sounds like a forgotten classic or sum....
man im high and this ending just made me cry bro like i thought this shit was so sad !!!!
You're not alone. This last song made me misty eyed too!
I’ll say what everyone else here has said: this is the most underrated comedy ever, and the songs are tremendous.
I love how the chorus gets extended in the end, making those two simplistic words much more powerful.
Watched this movie in college when it came out and thought it was hilarious. Watched it last week as a dad pushing 40 with kids and bawled my eyes out with my wife.
Out of all the crazy songs he sang in this movie, this one was actually pretty serious...and I loved it!😂
Definitely his Masterpiece!
i know its a movie but that line 'Then in the end its family and friends' that line hits me in the heart strings >.
Don't care what anybody says, THIS IS GREAT MUSIC!
They didn’t have put their whole ass into making the songs in this movie as good as they are, but goddamn do I appreciate it.
Greatest Rock Mockumentary since Spinal Tap. With MUCH BETTER tunes. This last one is perfect. What a show.
The movie was perfect down to the last detail. And this song is its crowning achievment, truly a masterpiece ♡
Reilly is a fucking legend. What a great movie.
+1 on this is one of the most underrated movies ever train
I actually loved this song lol its a great jam
So real
This movie had surprisingly great music. Incredibly underrated.
"My perspective is enormous" that line is so JohnC R.!
Whenever i am down i just sing this song to myself, it has been almost 20 yrs since this movie came out, and not one comedie movie has topped it ever, and to not forget about the wonderful songs which are funny yes but brilliant in every sense of the word. John C Reilly is an amazing artist and he gave us a gem with this movie and i am so sad it os not talked about more
This scene still brings a tear to the eye.
Long Live Dewey Cox!
what a way for dewey cox to go out. One of the most loveliest song I've ever heard.
I wish this movie gets the recognition it deserves one day. Its hands down one of the best comedies ever made.
Best character build up for a comedy. Made me said to see the ending but he got to live
4:24 will always be my favorite part of the movie because Dewey finally understands his purpose after Drugs and Hookers and he reflects on his life during this right before he died
4:12 - 4:30
That literally brought a tear to my eye. Such a great choice of scenes.
The Lyric's are sad also, it's like a life story drawing to a conclusion.
This song made me cry as a kid it still hits to this day in 2022 ❤️
It always kills me that his manager had a heart attack and the guy next to him just watched him die 😂😂😂😂
After watching this again I finally realised that the fact that Dewey's child ghost is there is foreshadowing his death after the performance 😲
In other versions it's just the older version of Nate flipping him off.
For me this is not just a comedy movie. Just shows us that along the way we make a lot of mistakes but fortunately it would never be too late for us to change and straighten everything out. And it shows how much struggle he put through in order for him to achieve his dreams even without the support of anyone he forged on only believing in himself.
I love how everyone’s commenting about how this ending makes them weirdly emotional I thought maybe it was just me lmao
I know this was treated as just another comedy, but the music is great and this song actually gets me misty eyed.
And then in the end it's family and friends - wise words from Mr Cox
A lot of the songs from this movie were written by a singer songwriter by the name of Dan Bern; this song included. I've been listening to him for years and one day I stumbled upon this movie and when I finally finished it I was really surprised to hear Beautiful Ride finishing it off. If you liked this one, I suggest checking Dan out because he has a lot of fantastic songs similar to this one.
Pootz Pootz just listened to a few of them and they’re more comedic than any in the movie. Was totally expecting them to be more serious like this song lol
And it is Dan at the organ in this scene. there was an outtake where he gets up to fix the speaker... wish they used it. I arranged and conducted this song (and the whole score) Everyone who worked on music did a cameo somewhere (like Dan in this scene).
BRO THANK YOU
I like Dan Burns Jerusalem song I believe it was him in the candy butchers that worked on the music for this and they have done a freaking amazing job in John C Riley didn’t amazing job bring it to life who ever says he’s a shitty actor because of stepbrothers or Holmes and Watson needs to watch this.
Thank you, I've been curious about that for years.
This movie really makes you think how many actors are actually really good singers
The fact that this ending manages to make some people emotional even when the movie is making fun of the music biopic formula, really shows there's a reason it became a formula in the first place.
This song is too beautiful 😭
2:04
Shows the Irony of Life,
rhe Paradox of the Experience/s in and of Life.
Brilliant on ALL Levers.
I Salute all involved in creating this Masterpiece.
This movie had no right making me weep at the end. I hate this movie for being so fucking good
Brilliantly funny film! My friends still reference it after all these years! Love this song so much.. I listen to it every so often. Sums up life, so sweetly. ❤
One of my favorite Movies of all time.......
I don't care for country music but I love the songs in this movie...
I like that his ex wife is there too. This is such a good movie. Silly but so great.
I watched this movie a million times
It was a pleasure people! I guess at this point it is safe to say, the right kid lived.
Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen!
I’d say this is top three parody films of all time. The ability to walk that line (ha) between having the song be genuinely tender and meaningful, while also being masterfully funny is so impressive
What's the other 2 for you?
The fact that this song is genuinely touching and truthful goes to show how much passion was put into this film.
This sumbs up his entire life
Haha, when the dude dies and then meets up with Dewey's family
Considering this is one of best comedies of the past 20 years, this is actually quite touching.
During one of the flashbacks, John C. Reilly's costume made him look like his character from Boogie Nights. To be honest, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when he was using his bandmate as a meat shield.
Believe it or not I iisten to this song every week and for some strange reason...it inspires me to be a better person
It's a hysterical movie with some sweet parts thrown in, but the finish; that last song. Beautifully sung, fantastic lyrics, very poignant, wonderfully shot. The quick cut to young Dewey at the end as the camera pans is one of the best edited scenes ever. For what it is and what it's supposed to be, it's perfect. In two days, it will be three years since I lost my bride. I always loved this song, but it means so much more now. I tear up a bit every time I hear it and I'm not afraid to admit that I'm crying while I type this. Miss you, Donna Lou, more than you can imagine.
The greatest music biopic ever, with music as great as any of the great musicians.
Watched this movie again last night. Damn was this a good movie! Hilarious! This song is so damn good too
Putting purpose to ourself being grateful to GOD for the beautiful gift that life is ....
this is probably one of my favorite songs. not just from a movie, but period. listen to the lyrics and they actually mean something.
This still makes me tear up just as much as if I’d listened too his music my whole life.
What a film ... awesome .. a beautiful ride 👍
2:45 Old black dude turns around, sees him die and says "F@ck him." Turns right back and enjoys the music. LOL
How did they write songs that are funny, but musically sound and catchy? They are really some of my favorite songs ever. If i had never seen the movie and had only heard the tunes they would still hold a place in my heart. It is some of the best comedic writing that i have ever seen/heard in all the movies i have ever watched!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 years later and it is still one of the best comedic movies and song written music I have ever witness, in difficult times every time I hear the last song "beautiful ride" it brightens my mood up as if times will get better and never lose hope because it will be a better day tomorrow :)
This is honestly one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Not even just as a comedy, I mean one of THE greatest movies. Definitely the most well made movie. We may never see a movie that can make you laugh hysterically and learn something important all at the same time.
honestly a great song
I have to listen to this song twice everytime I listen to it. Once to sing-along it passionately and the second time is to cry to it
Song had no business being this good coming from such a funny movie.
