42 now. When I was about 17 I fell in love with the Velvets. Lived in a middle-class suburb in Scotland. At the end of our house we had a "sun lounge" - an optimistic idea for Scotland, since the sun rarely shines. It had huge windows and a wooden floor. It was never used, although my parents used to store bottles in there. In winter, they used to freeze solid. It became my room to listen to music in, and I remember listening to this song while looking out the windows at snow-capped mountains.
My dad used to play this song on his base. My mom told me that when my parents were driving home after getting married, this song was playing, and they were literally driving into the sunset. It's their song, and it will always remind me of my dad. I love you dad. I hope you're happy wherever you are, and I hope you know how precious you have always been to me.
This song has something magical. The melody, the chords progression, the piano at the end.. It's just perfect. It gives me a lot of emotions, it can seem a happy song, peaceful with good vibes, then it makes me feel also a lot of melancholy and sadness, bitterness.. The final part often makes me cry, it's so intense. For me, the greatest band of rock'n'roll history, I can't understand why they aren't remembered like the beatles or rolling stones, they are way better then the stones and genius as the Beatles.
The first time I heard this song about twenty years ago, I had just bought a cassette of Another View and this song happened to start playing just as I was going up the Sunshine Skyway from St. Petersburg on a a beautiful day with blue sky, magnificent sun, and ocean as far as you could see. One of the most surreal experiences of my entire life, and when the song was over, I had to pop out the tape to see what the title was -- when I read "Ride Into the Sun," it sent chills up my spine.
Discovering a song that you know you will love forever is one of the most out-of-body experiences. I was having an overstimulating morning: woke up with the thought that I had to clean the whole flat, or else I would've gone crazy, looking at the corners that had never seen a good wipe. My hoover had just broken, as well as the clothes airer, my head was full of memories of the previous tipsy night, but mornings after such nights usually turn the memories into boxes of anxious patterns rambling on. And then this song randomly came through my speaker, because Spotify thought I would love it. And I stood still for a moment, more goosebumps than skin on my body, before I started crying. I couldn't handle how beautiful the melody was. The next three minutes I spent weeping and speaking out loud "Why is this so beautiful?". Yep, this is when you feel the most alive.
+Caverman Seems like I remember that from way way back. But it's been ages since hearing the vers with vox. I do remember two versions of Hey Mr. rain. V/U and Another View are some killer records.
@@porterhall27 Lou Reed was one of the most celebrated songwriters of his time, had a lot of respect. Their first album didn't sell well but look at the figures for the rest of their stuff. Super popular band in their time and still today.
@Millennial Smark Nonsense. The Velvet Underground had two official albums after White Light White Heat. Lou Reed had also already made a solo album before David Bowies input into Transformer which was his second studio album. Lou had performed plenty for his first solo record.
Randomly stumbled upon this song today (February 21st, 2023), and heard it for the first time ever in my life. Sometimes you can just tell when a moment is immediately special. It's a pretty typical Tuesday afternoon for me - just logged off work a few hours ago, and now winding down relaxing for the night - but when this song came on it transformed the ordinary into something else. It's been tough times for me lately, but this song brings me a lot of hope and the instruments really just convey everything I'm feeling right now. Working on a new DJ mix that I hope to put out soon, and I immediately knew that I have to put this song as the intro. Peace and love to everyone out there. Music is the most special thing in the world, and I'm glad this song was able to heal a piece of my fragmented heart.
People may complain about the AI algos influencing our lives and behaviors but damn i'm glad YT had this song show up for me. Long time VU fan but had never heard it before.
SO agree! Stumbled on it myself this week and absolutely love it. It has been a dark time for me and this just has an uplifting feeling about it. Check out Pachelbel canon in D
I noticed that in the comments of the videos of the songs, the comments that take more likes are those with the lyrics of the songs. So now I commit myself and I do it too. Lyrics: Now I feel complete
One of those perfect songs that can hit multiple emotional nerves at the same time. When I first heard it, it seemed blissfully chill, and reminded me of a mid-summer drive down a winding road through bright green fields under a sprawling blue sky. But today, I listened to it w/ the wife and baby and thought about love in the face of inevitable mortality. I damn near cried. The funny thing is that VU probably tossed this off half-assed-ly, like it was nothin'. I fucking love this band/song.
+Alex DeLuca yeah, they were also a great pysch-rock band in their own rite too, although alternative and brash in style compared to other psych stuff. Personally I prefer them to most punk and rock that came after/before. Most of Lou Reed's solo stuff is good too, but doesn't compare to VU in my opinion *I know the velvets aren't 'technically' a psych-rock band, but genres are stupid anyway
+Alex DeLuca. You are so right on with that. I can't imagine Patti Smith, Television or anybody else becoming the artists they were without the inspiration of the Velvets. They "made" the space.
To the extent of culture, music and style, yes. I would love to go back to the sixties and live through the decades of Velvet, Dylan, Stones, Kinks and so many more. I never said there aren't any good bands today but they are in my experience not even close to the Bands I've listed. Just imagine listening to Velvet live! I don't expect you to have the same opinion as I and frankly I don't give a damn.
This track has always put a tear in my eye for personal nostalgic reasons. Today I am sat here with tears pouring down as I listen to Lou / VU tracks one after another from the side menu.
We're replacing the wedding march with this at our wedding next month. I can't think of a more appropriate or beautiful piece of music to walk down the aisle to! Thank you Velvet Underground.
This was the song I walked down the aisle to when me and my husband got married on August 31, 2015. It's my favorite Velvets song. They will always be my favorite NYC band. I am from Queens, as is my husband. I knew I had to incorporate the band into my wedding somehow.
Oh, my God! I thought I had heard every studio version of "Ride Into the Sun" (my favorite is on the _What Goes On_ box set). I guess because this version has no vocals it wasn't considered for release. But it's _absolutely_ beautiful! Moe's drums have never been recorded better -- and the variations are as tasteful. I haven't heard such great drumming since "The Dangerous Type" by the Cars (which came many years after this). The lead guitar is so precise and melodic it sounds like a keyboard! The rhythm guitar is excellent, with what sounds like a bit of chorusing or flanging on it. Thanks so much for a great rarity!
Man hahaha like trust me I love this song trust me.But the drumming in musical is pretty mediocre at best like come on i know your not comparing this to other genres right?
Ben, I respect the fact that you like the song. It is my ALL TIME favorite and I want it played at my funeral (as a previous post stated). But Moe's drumming is the worst part of the song. She wasn't a drummer; she was some chick they drug in off the street to bang on kitchen pans and hubcaps with a hammer, and they called it "drums." That being said, she probably could have done a better job than me!!! But if she were a real artist, she wouldn't currently be working as a greeter in an Atlanta Walmart.

Although he was never my favourite musician, his death certainly represents, one of the most significant losts of pop and rock music of all times. We only recognize people's true value when they're gone. Forever. So long, Lou.

In my music player,this is the most played song,always stand by me,comfort me,hope someday i can find my true love and listen to it together,and i will tell her this was always been my motivation to keep going and now my motivation turns to U.
I don't understand why this is so good. It seems so simple and straightforward, just strum some chords, right? So why does it open my heart up like nothing else?
Passion turns the most simple songs into the most enjoyable. Over complicating music often results in it being boring. Lou's three chord ideology is part of the reason the Velvet Underground stood out from literally everyone else at the time.
@@vgmilo the melody is really nice, however I don't think it's the melody, it's the chord progression. Today nobody ever would just strum chords without vocals, because they think it was boring.
Man... There sure will never be another band like the Velvet Underground again.. Let alone another Lou Reed.. Rest peacefully to the passed members and long live the 2 still alive today...❤️🙏
what a beautiful memory, i'm imagining being in that sun lounge right now from my bedroom in Tennessee. I'm listening to this song in honor of Lou's departure. I fell in love with he Velvets when i was 18, i'm 43.
No se que hacer con mi vida, no tengo muchos amigos y no soy bueno con el amor. A veces creo que soy un desdichado y que no merezco nada pero escucho canciones como esta de bandas como esta y me siento en paz, realmente en paz y creo que literalmente podría morir en este instante y moriría feliz por haber podido escuchar una canción tan linda con tanto por transmitir. Gracias.

+hopscotchoblivion Only because it reminds me of my Mom. She had a mixtape that she would always play in our mini-van while driving us to Tee-Ball practice. :) My first favorite song (the song that actually made me like music) was Blister In The Sun by The Violent Femmes from that mixtape. :)
This a very beautiful piece of music and art for all this suburban hippies geeks and autistics this song goes to to us I am 27 had a hard been struggling in one of the wealthiest county's in the country but I hope to live the rest of my days up in Oregon here's to ya Lou u would have understood me not many people do lol

It's Pachelbel's Canon - th-cam.com/video/NlprozGcs80/w-d-xo.html
Yep my thoughts exactly very similar to Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Such a lovely piece. Discovered it from bbc serial read by Sally Phillips - brilliant!
The first time I heard this song about twenty years ago, I had just bought a cassette of Another View and this song happened to start playing just as I was going up the Sunshine Skyway from St. Petersburg on a a beautiful day with blue sky, magnificent sun, and ocean as far as you could see.

More proof that Velvet Underground was in my opinion one of the most underrated and most talented band in rock history.
Well yea, that's like, uh your opinion, man. They are great nonetheless but most underrated ever? Nah...they got some good recognition

Someone else to be
Looking for another chance
To ride into the sun

Where everything seems so pretty
When you're lonely and tired of the city
Remember, it's a flower made out of clay
To the city
Where everything seems so ugly
When you're sitting at home in self pity
Remember, you're just one more person
Who's living there
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city

Thank God you did. Share it with others. More people need to listen to the Velvet Underground.
Thanx Lou, for all the great music you left us~Hope you're still walkin' on the Wild Side...
Love that chord progression... It's the best.....

this song is just so chillin makes me think about sun and a ALL blue sky...
good memories..!
It's amazing how uplifting this song is.
This is just gorgeous----beautiful and lyrical. This group had that side to them.
Its like a sweet jane reprise jam or interlude precluding SJ. Stands well on it's own too
If it's velvet underground you know its good quality already
Although he was never my favourite musician, his death certainly represents, one of the most significant losts of pop and rock music of all times. We only recognize people's true value when they're gone. Forever. So long, Lou.
Simply beautiful music...
This is one of those VU tunes you don't hear very often but wish you did. What Goes On and Pale Blue Eyes come to mind. Fabulous instrumental.
I think its the best tune i ever listened
Way ahead of their time.
Still sounds great.

Lou you sure did give us so much and made the world of rock n roll a better place. Now it's your turn to ride into the sun.
This song sings itself!
No se que hacer con mi vida, no tengo muchos amigos y no soy bueno con el amor.
A veces creo que soy un desdichado y que no merezco nada pero escucho canciones como esta de bandas como esta y me siento en paz, realmente en paz y creo que literalmente podría morir en este instante y moriría feliz por haber podido escuchar una canción tan linda con tanto por transmitir.
Gracias.
hey man I guess many of us feel the same way. I do too. I hope you're doing better now. take care!

You dead yet?
That's great. Thanks, because me too now.

I hear several classic rock hits in this 1 song just little bits all through out. I'm mesmerised, he and they are talented artists.
I'd never heard an instrumental version of this song until now. It's beautiful.
1:34 Did anybody else cry to that guitar solo? I know I did...
+hopscotchoblivion the only time i cried was while that solo and kept sobbing all along the base line
+hopscotchoblivion never even heard them before and I got a bit emotional
+hopscotchoblivion Only because it reminds me of my Mom. She had a mixtape that she would always play in our mini-van while driving us to Tee-Ball practice. :) My first favorite song (the song that actually made me like music) was Blister In The Sun by The Violent Femmes from that mixtape. :)
RIP Lou, thank you for everything
They shone so brightly and so briefly😢❤
. . . sometimes I feel so Happy . . . sometimes I feel so sad . . . " Thanks for everything , Lou , see ya later .

With a lump in my throat & a tear in my eye (just like every time I hear this play)...
RIP Lou - you are a fucking God!
and the band, The Velvet Underground, is one of the most innovative bands ever.
This song makes me want to start a band... so many layers of awsomeness.
I really love the drums so much❤
