Ride [Instrumental] - Lana Del Rey

LYRICS:
[Spoken introduction:]
I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer.
At night I fell asleep with visions of myself, dancing and laughing and crying with them.
Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour, and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times.
I was a singer - not a very popular one,
I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken.
But I didn't really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is.
When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I'd been living, they asked me why - but there's no use in talking to people who have home.
They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people - for home to be wherever you lay your head.
I was always an unusual girl.
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...
And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying...
Because I was born to be the other woman.
Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.
Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.
I've been out on that open road
You can be my full time daddy,
White and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full time baby,
Hot or cold
Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride
Dying young and I'm playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it - ride 'til dark.
Don't leave me now
Don't say good bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, I just ride
[Music video spoken ending:]
Every night I used to pray that I'd find my people, and finally I did on the open road.
We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore, except to make our lives into a work of art.
Live fast. Die young. Be wild. And have fun.
I believe in the country America used to be.
I believe in the person I want to become.
I believe in the freedom of the open road.
And my motto is the same as ever:
"I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I'm at war with myself I ride, I just ride."
Who are you?
Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?
I have. I am fucking crazy.
But I am free.

"Live fast.
Die young.
Be wild.
And have fun."

[@bethck4549]

I'm my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful instrumentals I've ever heard. You don't have to like her lyrics to recognize the beauty of this music. I always listen to this when I'm conflicted or stressed and need to unwind. It's so comforting to me.

[@marplu]

+Beth CK Agree. I love this instrumental so much. It goes from sad to hopeful and is really good for pulling me out of a funk

[@noobgamer-ne3xy]

IKR

[@user-no7ir2hw1d]

me too when I feel like on the verge of giving up on life I just listen to this

[@boombay.saphire7440]

Amen! Same! This song is life

[@flavioaraujo1187]

The truth my friend😍😍I gree!❤

[@longasau]

0:20 the sadness manifests
4:30 the sadness intensifies
8:28 the sadness transforms into unbearable beauty

[@Arthur_url]

Kept hearing her voice in my head. I want this to be played at my wedding. And at my funeral. I want this to be played in every important moment of my life.

[@equestrianfeminist9097]

Same here😢

[@bethck4549]

If this ever gets copyrighted and taken down I'll probably cry, I can't live without this .

[@julene9241]

Beth CK download it!

[@sarahb362]

[@cindermagus]

This song is a masterpiece.

[@furkanb5337]

[@TinCole]

I want this instrumental at my wedding day.

[@skepticonolion5970]

+Tin Cole I want it in my funerals

Please, marry me! :D

[@markchayer325]

That will kill the good vibes because it’s depressing instrumental but beautiful

[@annadiaz6412]

I want to walk to this song down the isle

[@MewkyRuri]

This song has helped me through the darkest period of time that I had no dream like a plastic bag drifting through the wind. I can't describe how this song has lightened me up in an unexpected way because it sounds sad to a certain extent but not really 'sad'.
But then I realised my inner side was read by this song: I have a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing to the north. It seems to be strange and hard to be felt like the same way I did for some people.
But I'm free.

[@dqmanska4629]

hope u are doing great

[@user-ws2qc1eq6v]

This sounds like how being reunited with someone you love feels.

[@sweet.like.cinnamon]

This is magic. This is art, This is life.

[@furkanb5337]

Be wild, just ride...

[@resilience679]

[@bossqueen6278]

Exactly❤

[@hellap.6572]

true

[@ladybalverine431]

the instrumental of the chorus part in particular gets to me every time

[@milakunis9743]

I didn't know that there could be such a difference without lyrics

[@3V1LW1Z4RD]

i want this played at my funeral

[@gilbertperez1259]

This is so perfect. One thing that stand to me is when she states, “when the people I used to know found out what I have been doing, how I’d been living, they asked me why- but there’s no use in talking to people who have a home. They have no idea what it’s like to seek safety in other people- for home to be wherever you lie your head.” I had a whole conflict occur with people who I thought were friends, but they made sure that I didn’t have a home. Now, anyone I grew up with asks me, “how have you been?” I can’t help but say what happened and they look at me with shock. That’s when I tell them to not take anything for granted because they don’t know what it’s like to be restless, restricted, or forbidden.

[@its-dreaa]

I used her song Young And Beautiful for my quinceañera waltz, but I was conflicted since I absolutely loved this too. I’m 24 now, and I still find myself here listening to this when life gets rough. So cool that so many others do too. This music is very healing; speaks to my heart and soul.

[@SR-wb2cf]

I used to listen to this nearly every day, during that which I’m now certain was the darkest chapter of my life. Years passed, things got better; least I thought they had but somehow the cracks began to show. Plunged back into that place once again - but that’s what makes us human, the ability to fall down and pull ourselves back together once again, each time more seamlessly and better than before. I forgot about this but remembered - happy I can still take that same message of the promise of future happiness, of hope still from this song; high school might be long gone and I’m more than likely a whole new person: still this stays the same and I’m overjoyed for that much.
We can get through this.

Ride Monologue Lyrics
[Pre-Song]
I was in the winter of my life
And the men I met along the road were my only summer
At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them
Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me
And my only real happy times
I was a singer
Not a very popular one
I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet
But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky
That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken
But I didn’t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is
When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there’s no use in talking to people who have a home
They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people
For home to be wherever you lie your head
I was always an unusual girl
My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul
No moral compass pointing due north
No fixed personality
Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean
And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying
Because I was born to be the other woman
Who belonged to no one
Who belonged to everyone
Who had nothing
Who wanted everything
With a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about it
And pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me
[Song]
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
I been out on that open road
But you can be my full-time daddy, white and gold
Singing blues has been gettin' old
But you can be my full-time baby, hot or cold
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't break me down (Don't break me down)
I been traveling too long (I been traveling too long)
I been tryin' too hard (I been tryin' too hard)
With one pretty song (With one pretty song)
[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
[Post-Chorus]
So, I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride
[Verse 2]
Dying young and playing hard
That's the way my father made his life and art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it, light 'til dark
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't leave me now (Don't leave me now)
Don't say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (Don't turn around)
Leave me high and dry (Leave me high and dry)
[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
[Post-Chorus]
I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride
[Bridge]
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride
[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
[Post-Chorus]
I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride
[Post-Song]
Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people
And finally I did
On the open road
We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore
Except to make our lives into a work of art
Live fast
Die young
Be wild
And have fun
I believe in the country America used to be
I believe in the person I want to become
I believe in the freedom of the open road
And my motto is the same as ever
"I believe in the kindness of strangers"
And when I'm at war with myself
I ride
I just ride
Who are you?
Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?
I have
I am fucking crazy
But I am free
