155. Twisterella by Ride




I was living in Elwood when this record came out. I was sharing the house with  Rod the guitarist from little Murders. The Ride album Going Blank Again had just come out. We'd play chess, drink beer and listen to Ride. It was a great. Then I went and got a girlfriend. Rod moved out soon after. He actually moved out the same week that my girlfriend left me. It was also the week I started work on my house renovations so I had no bathroom. Christ it was depressing for a while there. I'd play music so loud the neighbours would come over at 7:30am in the morning and ask me to turn it down.
Anyway the only song I remember from that album was Twisterella. For one it reminded me of the film Billy Liar (they borrowed the title from a song in the movie) We also started playing the song at the Lizard Lounge.It was their poppiest song by far but it still retained thier left of centre sonics. And it was a welcome break from all that rubbish pouring out of Seattle.


Any minute you will feel
The chemistry
Vibrations in the brain
Can't ever be explained
Slip away and out of sigh
Feel the magnet of a night
The circus lights you see
Is where you have to be
If I've seen it all before
Why's this bus taking me back again
If I don't need anymore
Why's this bus taking me back again

Feel the weight of letting go
Feel more lightness than you've ever known
You can't see when light`s so strong
You can't see when light is gone
