My favourite Ride song by a country mile,so evocative and beautiful.Sterling work Charlatan99,you've certainly done the music justice on what I imagine must have been a limited budget.I'm glad to hear you've gone on to work in your chosen field,you certainly deserve it.Continued success and many thanks!
Much as I love Ride, their videos were - to put it bluntly - crap. Shame they didn't have someone directing them who gave as much thought as you have to this; fits absolutely perfectly. If you ever get six months off, please do the same with Dreams Burn Down, Drive Blind, Grasshopper (I could go on)......
@robbied275 Dang! Thanks so much! I love RIDE so much as well and their music just screams to have films made to each song. I hope to get a higher resolution of Remembrance up in the next month. Thanks again.
It makes me so sad that none of my friends know about such music and that I can't really tell anyone how amazing this song is and many others because they just wouldn't understand and people like really stupid music with empty words and it just makes me so sad and it makes me feel sad for them because I believe life is music and then their life is just empty ..
What a great film, you really got the whole feel of the song down, themes of friendship and memories,etc. This track used to mean a lot to me and my mates 'back in the day', (LSD or no LSD!) and still does now - this film has really brought those happy memories flooding back very poignantly, 'happy sad' and all that! Just the intro to this track sends shivers down my spine, they really were one hell of a band. Fab job mate, many congrats and thanks!
wow seeing this vid after many years is amazing. I used to actually listen to this on my tape deck (yes a tape) and I train jumped on a coal train over to the westcoast of NZ south island and back again lisening to this very song. I live in Christchurch and my best friend Dan and I used to listen to ride all the time when we were just starting uni. I have it all on vinyl. Awesome. thanks Ride for the memories.
Thanks! I do love ride so much and it was great fun putting it all together. The girl at the beginning is my old girlfriend that I was with at the time...or maybe we were already broken up...in any case she was a great sport - it was FREEZING that day we shot the B&W stuff.
This wonderful song was so "paid homaged to" by Coldplay with their track Yellow.
If you know that song, try singing the words "Look at the stars, look what they've done to you" etc over OX4 from exactly 5.00 minutes in here - and it becomes pretty obvious Chris martin owes some royalties to Ride!
@RicardosRealm Good spot! If you look at the inside cover to Coldplay's debut album Parachutes (which spawned 'Yellow'), there's a picture of the band and one of them is wearing a Ride 'Nowhere' t-shirt, so the plot definitely thickens!
man that was great,i seen ride live 7 times and still listen to their stuff ,i play ride at work and teenagers ask who it is,timeless music,your video is great,well done
Thanks for the compliment! I made this about 10 years ago. It was shot in Arizona and california and was shot on 16mm film. I've been in film production ever since and have directed far more intricate and expensive large-scale things....but in all sincerity "Remembrance" is still my persoanl favorite.
@charlatan99 so,let me know...the guy in the movie it was you? it's a really great video,the guy that find his roots,and his teddy bear,it's really beautiful touching and moving!
great job! THIS is the greatest band of my time.. "unfamiliar" the best song and "carnival of light" the best LP.. they did no wrong.. don't let some snob tell you "only early ride".. it's all gooood..
Nice video. One of the best albums ever. Amazing to think a lot of people will spend their entire lives never having heard it. I mean how is something like Rolling Stones better than this? I just dont get it. THIS IS FKIN BEAUTIFUL! Makes me wanna smile and cry at the same time.
Wow! Thank you so much. It is still one of my favorite things I have ever made. Ride is (was) an amazingly talented band and this is one of my favorite songs of all time.
how did you get around the WMG block? i made a snowboard vid with this song and put it on Youtube 2 years ago, and they recently blocked it because of "permissions". I deleted it and re-uploaded it and it STILL is blocked!!! WTF??
OX4 is an area code in Oxford in which most of the band had lived in when they were younger (I have lived there all my life so far). Seeing as the song is about being homesick, the name makes a little more sense really.
It was shot outside of Phoenix, Arizona for the most part. The beach footage and a few of the train shots were from southern California. It was shot on 16mm negative and actually edited the old-fashioned way on a flatbed film cutting machine.
Sure! It makes me really happy to hear different observations and ideas about it. All it really needed to be from my perspective was a visual representation of how the song made me feel. The bass line in the song is so great....the bass line was actually more the inspiration than the lyrics!
This song is insanely good. I remember walking around in the sun with my walkman on, in the early nineties,high as a kite, listening to this and to albums by Slowdive, and Chapterhouse, and Lush and what not.... *sigh* Those were the days...
great song, great finish to a great album., and well done to video maker, brought a tear to my eye. in the days of ride ect, no indie bands had the airplay they have now, ifthey did, ride would have been huge, in a small way i am glad they didnt and end up like some idiot pop stars, they were my band, our band. mark was the cooolest
Ride are without doubt my favourite band still to this day. And this song my favourite of all time.. uplifting, beautiful. A song I can close my eyes to, turn up the volume, and just lose myself in. Outstanding.
whoever has done this video i have to take my hat off to ya.. You have captured the very heart of this song. I can't believe that somebody has put this much energy into a song which obviously means a lot to them. Brilliant!
good job, charlatans99. I love it
