First you look so strong, Then you fade away. The sun will blind my eyes, I love you anyway. First you form a 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.
I saw Ride a few times early 90s and what you need to appreciate is the volume they played at. It was epic- a wall of noise. Imagine this song insanely loud and washing over you
How this isn’t at least 1m views, I’ll never know. This song is their ultimate masterpiece. Immense back then just as it is now all these years later. ❤
Saw Ride open for Ratcat at East Leagues Club ( Brisbane Aust) back in the early 90s, if my memory serves me correctly. I couldn't really believe what I was seeing when they walked on the stage. There was hardly anyone in the room at the time. They were simply amazing! I left soon after the 'headline' band went on stage. Who could listen to anything else that night, after seeing Ride,
I found you!!! There was a TikTok vid and it played this song in the background and I asked if anyone knew the name of the song and no one answered not even the creator of the TikTok! So here I am shuffling through song recommendations and you came into my life!!!!!!
I grew up with the early 1990’s of shoegaze and I am a big fan of the music in the era and hear the music clubs in Brooklyn, New York and in Manhattan.
Μια συμμαθήτριά στα αγγλικά λίγο μεγαλύτερη, μου έδωσε τότε αρχές 90s την μαγική κασέτα , ήταν και κουκλάρα και την ευχαριστώ και παρα πολύ που μου έμαθε τους ride
@@cesarjaviergonzalez7614 That’s great, love it when that happens, I remember hearing it on an old tape recording and I was hooked. It opened a door to an Aladdin’s cave of brilliant songs by Ride. Same thing happened with the band James. Sit down started it . One of the most unappreciated bands from the Uk, an excellent listen
Mark Gardner has always been the genius behind Ride.Andy Bell never had a patch on him.Check out Carnival of Light,1st side Marks songs,brilliant,second or B side Andys,good songs but generic like Oasis after Definitely Maybe.A bit bloated and obvious
Andy was like a child that got a guitar for Christmas. The others would have prospered far better without him. Take Loz’s drums out of this song and a it sounds like a 3 year old wrote it
Saw Slowdive open for Ride in a small club in LA back in the day. Will never forget that night. Heaven on Earth.
Whoa! Slowdive and Ride on the same place!! This is something
@@davimag2071 Saw them both together in Toronto May 1992, still have the ticket stub.
Slowdive opened for Ride in a field somewhere outside London summer of ‘91.. i was there, yes a beautiful trip.
the palace in 92?
@@timsusie2 i saw them in atlanta with pale saints the same year saw slowdive open for catherine wheel a few years later great times
Seeing them tonight! amazing memories!
Isn't that, like the best song ever?
Yes...
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Can't get enough of it!
Too true - play it again!
It's fucking amazing
poser
Adorable - Summertime
The drummer does it all ! Listen to the drummer !
First you look so strong,
Then you fade away.
The sun will blind my eyes,
I love you anyway.
First you form a 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.
Thirsty for your smile
I'll always remember watching this stoned at 1 in the morning with Andrea Hoyt Grijalva the last time I saw her alive. Luv u 4ever...

Yip...seen them in Ireland 91 or 92? My ears are still ringing.
I saw them when they got back together and it was the same thing then. Glad I got to see them live.
How this isn’t at least 1m views, I’ll never know.
This song is their ultimate masterpiece. Immense back then just as it is now all these years later.
❤
Amazing tune. I'm 14 again every time. And don't we all miss those early 90s music videos?
exactly
Yes.😉👍✨

Loved this band...
Timeless ethereal soundscape
timeless! one of the best shoegaze tunes ever!
One of the greatest tune of Shoegazer.
it's great but I prefer the other tracks on Nowhere more
elevator operator the blue nile nice
yes!
Yeah this was seminal. Violins and everything.
Beneath was their best track though....
I found you!!! There was a TikTok vid and it played this song in the background and I asked if anyone knew the name of the song and no one answered not even the creator of the TikTok! So here I am shuffling through song recommendations and you came into my life!!!!!!
Best song ever.
Beginning of brilliant UK 90's new wave
I grew up with the early 1990’s of shoegaze and I am a big fan of the music in the era and hear the music clubs in Brooklyn, New York and in Manhattan.
What a British classic from a great time in music. Almost like shoegaze from then.
This song gives me a lump in my throat and I don't specifically know why. MUSIC.
another half decade passes and thats still an immense ending to an indie classic
thank fuq i got the 90s, nae luck to whoever got what followed
One of best tunes of all time, a pure masterpiece
My favorite song EVER.
Can't help but cry, this song is so beautifuly juvenile
Why am I only just listening to this ❤
Remember seeing the premiere on 120 minutes. The only time I can remember being truly moved by a song and video
I love this tune, but it’s nothing without the drumming, it’s all about the drums man
Right, the guitarist wrote a transcendent song; sang it; played it well; and added a great string-section. But it is all about the drums.
@@herbertrichard614 It is transcendental drumming but everything is transcendental about this song.
Just wanted to compliment the excellent audio quality provided for pretty much every song on these videos; all the more surprising as it's on TH-cam.
Perfection. There can ever be only one Vapour Trail.
+skweekah Easy to have a little chuckle at some of the vocals, but it remains a lovely tune. My favourite song by Ride.
1993 in Hollywood and I'm excited to be able to see them again in a few days.
Takes me back to tripping in a field 😎
hell yaah bruthaaa💯💯🤙🏼🤙🏼
Ride, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine are the best shoegaze bands ever
This one sounded great yesterday live at Pitchfork Festival =)
Thank you!
1990 was only 10 years ago, right?
30 years now.
Oh my god
@@thetexanhusky shit!
😢
The cello really make this track so beautiful 😍 Did they ever have the cello player at live shows?
not the ones i went to!
One of rides best songs .gets me eveytime.stunning!
One of the best songs ever.
Hash and pills and happening at a pivotal time in my youth and in UK culture. And an amazing band that captured it all so well.
love the song, the artwork, the colours...
Best song ever. Period.
"We never have enough time to show our love..." ❤️
And the outro is so beautiful... gets me every time!

Beast of a tune

What perfection sounds like.
Still got the video cassette of the Brixton Live
England- the country of music

As a kid growing up in Wichita Kansas all me and my friends listened to was British indie and shoegaze
Lol at akis
These guys are special human beings, a dying breed.
Best song ever
GREAT song, I wish there was a karaoke version of this!
that music and video is BEAUTIFUL
I love this
That ending makes me hold my breath.
Thanks TH-cam recommendation algorithm you sure do know what my ear desires

la la la laaa la
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to. Thanks to Robert Smith (The Cure).
@@BloodSweatAndMeth what kind of question is It?
Love The Cure and a big fan, equally love Ride but what’s Robert Smith got to do with Ride ??
Just wondering ?
@@WilliamMcConnell78 I read once that vapour trail was one of his favourite songs ever and that comment let me know Ride. That is all.

zoltansocrates 🙏
Sweetness & Light TOO 🙃😛👾
This song makes me feel exactly the way my soulmate does. Fragile, but dreamy and wonderful
You should have seen me in 1990. Floppy hair and stripey T-shirts all over the place.
+Mr Worry Back when i had hair :( them were the days, ha.
stripey t-shit and black bomber jacket
same
esta canción es de las que me definen
🧭 ❤A Shoegaze Legend ❤ 🌎
We can only see thing that come to us and that’s the message of this song
I'm going to see them in NYC, still can't believe it !!!!!
roneugenius I saw them in 1993 in Hollywood, CA, and I'm going to see them again 22 years later in a few days! :D
SWEET !!!!
At its finest.....
Visuals r insane
Lovely
Reunion Tour !!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A FUCKING MASTERPIECE
great video!
the visual is so fire
The guitar reminds me of the hungry ghost by The Cure, except it was released in 2008. The more things change the more they stay the same, huh?
i'll love you anyway
Rides best
My best song i think
Oh yeah! To my fav.
Alternative FM Through the night
The effects on the video look really old, but I love them...for some reason. OK I'm stealing some ideas here....
こんな時代はもう来ないんだろうな
Does anyone know how this video was shot? Like how to get the colours like that and merge the different images?
Bro🥰✌
Na época só tinha VHS, MTV era pra poucos
"Lalalalaaalaaa ...."
