  • Thank you Charlie ;]

  • They're making a Perks of being a wallflower movie, and this song better be in it! The same with the Smiths.

  • Thank you Charlie<33

  • Reminds Me Of My High School Crush...

  • I wish someone would make me a mixtape <3

  • indie music and 90s rock are my favorite generes.. this combines both for the ultimate awesomeness. i found this through oasis, so...thanks andy.

  • ahh yes ride the oasis before oasis was oasis

  • @rockypc24 - abso. No doubt...

  • @sibeliandrift no doubt sucks ive never liked them

  • Who the hell is Charlie?! Not a joke...please answer!

  • @cbreslin187 Perks of being a Wallflower :)

  • im looking up all the songs on patrick's mix tape haha

    @SteakDoll

    you have to read it, its like a modern Catcher in the Rye, its amazing you dont want the book to end

  • I actually want to read this book that everyone's talking about.. I read the summary and it sounds a lot like me.

  • everybody wants to go back. I want to go forward but I can't ;(

  • @naana555 I dont know what I want,I am totally confused

  • Please, people. RIDE wrote this song. Not Charlie. Thank Ride, not a fictional character. Thanks.

  • Charlie is a doss cunt

  • Feels SO GOOD to be here and see, how Charlie made an impression on all these people.

  • @RebeccaTPR Yes, people being moved by literature is heartening, but this is a Ride song, the credit that's due on this page is due to them, not to a fictional character. If people want to state how much they love a character in a book, then that's great, but there will be better places to do it. The author may even have a guestbook on their web page, I'm sure they'd be gratified to see how much they've moved people.

  • @shannibobs Yeah, yeah just shut up and read the book instead of piss me off!

    And by the way, why don't you tell that to the other 1000 people here? -.-

  • @RebeccaTPR Thank you for your considered response, which raises some very interesting points; you've really opened my eyes, and, even in this short time, managed have a profound impact upon my philosophy to life. I can only say 'thank you'. Thank you.

  • @RebeccaTPR How about you stop clogging up this video with irrelevant comments?

  • I FEEL INFINITE.

  • Love a bit of charlie :)

  • love you charlie <3

  • Who's Charlie?! o.O

  • @ColorfulHyena Charlie sends letters to his friend. The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

  • @ColorfulHyena The perks of being a wallflower, it's a book by Stephen Chbosky, go read it. It's an order :P

  • @AngeloNiklis I know who garry Glitter, HItler, Pol Pot, and George Bush are...........

    all of them genius's??

  • Now we have One direction, lady gaga, mcfly, westlife, take that, lil wayne, the xfactor prostitutes, justin beiber, and the "worlds biggest band" is fronted by a man who was in a proper band when this came out. What has happened to the world??

  • Lol why must I find arguments on every video I watch? Song is awesome. Book is awesome. Everyone stfu and enjoy the song.

  • Love this!

    

  • Why do I feel so old? This was my favorite song in my teens

  • Thumbs up if Tom Monger sent you via Twitter

  • Ride were very under rated for their time !!

  • I have to laugh when young people say Lady Gaga or Skrillex are genius. They'll never know genius until they stumble across this perspective maker.

  • Thanks Charlie <3

  • CHARLIE DONT SURF

  • LISTEN

  • You guys suck - shut up and liesten - J

  • Reminds me of when music was actually decent.

    

  • that totally hit the spot

  • Wow, thanks Charlie!!

  • What a band Ride were!! Awesome. Such a shame that he ended up in Oasis. Real waste of talent playing that shite instead of writing Ride stuff. Oh well, that's music for you, gotta earn a crust I suppose.

  • Thank you Charlie

  • Is this the Horrors Dad?

  • I find it so paradoxical that music now is sooo bad, but if I wasn't alive today, I wouldn't have access and opportunity to discover amazing tracks like this....

    Shoegazing lives on :)

  • My mum used to play this song all the time as I was growing up as a kid and I hated it.

    only since the beginning of last month did I hear her play this song again and I fell in love with it.

    This is truly a beautiful song with very well written lyrics, it's very moving and sentimental and to be honest it even made me cry!

    It's the kind of song I want to play at my funeral

    thank you so very much for uploading this song to youtube <3

  • @BitchItSuck - I wanna meet your mum!

  • very dericious!

  • how good is this?amazing tune.i love it

  • Falling in love with charlie

  • @ElfieBishes shut the fuck up about charlie,get over it already he's fictional FUCK SAKE...

  • @MaaaarrJ why are you getting angry at me?

  • ps i had to be wallflower to know its shoegazing :-)

  • its called Shoegazing, wikipedia it, peace. Lots of great music to be found as you've found this

  • I feel sad and happy when I listen to this song because of Perks of Being a Wallflower. Thank you, Charlie.

  • melodious song...

  • I can only love to this song

  • My favourite song of all time.

  • i love vapour trail

  • @omgitsaimee123 How come? Don't you want to get deported to India?

  • @omgitsaimee123 Don't you think it's un-ethical enough to snap back at me? Like the fucking Indian sewer rat you are? You VERMIN. 

  • @AngeloNiklis Why are you such a boring act?

  • @omgitsaimee123 Well then, that's India isn't it, then? Fuck off right to India.

  • @omgitsaimee123 I don't remember being enthusiastic on getting my arse to Africa. But I do remember talking about the continent and how you belong there. You do not have the right to any assets in your present life. So, rip off your clothes, throw away your keepsakes and grub and kick off to Africa!

  • saturday july 27th 1991 slough festival, hot sunny day, ride headlined came on as dusk destroyed the sky. use the inside of your head to imagine the rest.

  • its about time perks of being a wallflower was mentioned.

  • classic

    

  • @AngeloNiklis Sacrifice ability HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  • @AngeloNiklis Did you know that incoherent babbling does not make you tied to the topic or "intellectual"? You are a yoke. You are still as dull and idiotic as the sewer. You are not more experienced in intelligence than me, certainly not at all, that's not too logical, is it? One here is not feigning anything, can you not see, with your intelligence, that I am very charismatic and excellent in persona? You are a sad little bastard that can vent your ordinary street intelligence on the net.

  • @AngeloNiklis Really? You must be dumber than the sewer. You want me to "shut it"? Then why on the living hell on Earth are you replying to my comments then? Hahahahaha you fucking queen.

  • @AngeloNiklis I couldn't be bothered. I am not talking so I cannot shut up. Neither will I stop doing what I see fit to.

  • @AngeloNiklis Depends on whether it's valid or not. You are now seen here defending black niggers, that is a heinous act, why don't you fuck right off you Canadian queen.

  • @omgitsaimee123 It's disgusting how brown skinned humanoids like you just have to freedom to drool over the assets and experience of the White race. Take off your clothes, throw away EVERYTHING you have, and RUN away to Africa and the Middle-East you fucking rat.

  • @omgitsaimee123 No, because you are a fucking nigger. Try running away from Europe when you've still got the opportunity.

  • @omgitsaimee123 No, because you are a fucking nigger. Try running away from Europe when you've still got the opportunity.

  • I should be glad that Ride is getting more attention. But seriously... fuck the book talk. This isn't an Oprah video.

  • Yes because learning about a band by reading a book is a terrible thing and should be discouraged.

  • th**

  • Th Author of the Perks of being a Fucking Queer Wallflower should be lynched.

  • You are all queers with your shitty little novel! Fuck off and stick your ugly novels up your arse!

  • @omgitsaimee123 And you're a fucking nigger from Sweden ! =)

  • What the fuck are all the Yanks babbling about? Some fucking shit novel? How shallow to only look for music you find your shitty fucking queer novels.

  • @TheClarenceter ugh! I wouldn't want to meet you in person. You seem like the biggest asshole! get over yourself, dude.

  • @TheClarenceter go to the dentist and calm down.

  • @js10013 Dentist?

  • Badass !!!

  • I LOVE this song and the book that everybody is mentioning :) this is the only book i have re-read! it is my favorite out of my whole life and i think will remain!

  • It's weird, I read the Perks of Being a Wallflower right before I discovered this band but I completely forgot they were in that book.

  • This song is about chemtrails.

  • @NeutronDance No it's not about chemtrails you idiotic, degenerate retard.

  • like the band and The Perks of Being a Wallflower :)

  • Fucking epic song which brings back fond memories.

  • am i the only one who loves this band but hates the perks of being a wall flower lol

  • @onlydeepandReal Probably ha ha

  • Ah may be French, but that skeeny floppy-haired white boy can sure play ze drums...!

  • I bought this album just because of the cover! Glad i did they blew me away

  • it is not quite loud enough :/

    :D

  • Come on now!! Nothing can be this good!!!

  • Andy = Waste talent on Oasis

  • @welctoj - completely agree, but even worse - BeadyEye!

  • thanks Perks of being a wallflower!!!!!!!

  • sunglasses in the dark ... 

  • Pure bliss

    

  • Is this Andy Bell or Mark Gardener on lead vocals? I've only recently discovered Ride and haven't distinguished the differences in their vocals yet. From listening to both performing it solo, it sounds more like Bell but I could be wrong as I read he didn't sing many songs. Cheers.

  • @BongBongAnimal If I remember right this is Andy Bell...

  • @mralmeister1 Thanks a lot.

  • @BongBongAnimal this is andy bell on vocals...

  • @Jof1987 Thanks a lot. Great song.

  • blue deep blue…

  • Nowhere > Loveless

    Haters gonna hate.

  • @cossack77  Nowhere = Loveless

  • thanks Charlie :D

  • lol why did that idiot 5 comments below me choose to go all conspiracy theory on the video for Ride? btw, everyone learns of music somewhere. it's not like everyone is born with their current taste. we hear about songs from the radio, on television, in books and if we like them, we continue to listen to them and learn more about the genre and find similiar bands. The book did introduce me to Ride, but I had already previously known bands like MBV.

  • YOUE GHUYS R JUST HPSTSRZ OMG WOW DIS IS GHAY AS HELL!!1! WOW! I LIEK MANSTREM STUFFF LIEK KRIS BROWHN AND PITBULL N BILY JOEL AND THE KILLRS!

    R TE KILRS ND?

  • I get lost in a dream when I listen to this song.

  • Who cares however you found the song. Just enjoy it. Good god.

  • THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH AOL IN THE 90'S OR MYSPACE IN THE 00'S BUT THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. EVERYTHING NOW IS VISUAL ART AS "SELLING SEX" NOT ART FOR THHE SAKE OF SOMETHING THAT DOSEN'T HAVE TO DO WITH SEX & EGO.BUT YOU WON'T HEAR THAT ON RADIO. YOUTUBE REVERSED MESSAGES IN ANY OF THIS DECADES BIG HITS BY BIG ARTISTS, even watch interviews of ppl who got out the industry, read the bible, look up the richest families for who owns the world+look up"HARRP SYSTEM" (WEATHER CONTROL)

  • I think social networks have somethng to do with the dumbing down of poeple's mind, medications/psycotropics pushed by doc more than EVER. I think even the progessive non-privacy of social netwoks & the addictions to cell phones & ppl all being linked to 1 hub, is sad too.. youtube is ok but this facebook addiction is sick..i see technology & texting 24/7 especialy by females as really obessesive too (TALK IN PERSON!)I'M no conspiricy nut just seeing the truth & not sitting well with conformity)

  • EVRYTHING NOW IS A THEME OR REPRESENTATION OF A SOCIAL SCENE OR A SOCIAL NETWORK (LIKE LADY GAGA FOR GAYS,50 CENT FOR RAP, ANYTGHING EMO FOR ROCK.. AND NONE OF IT IS EVEN REALLY APART OF THE GENRE IT "SOUNDS" LIKE IT'S ALL AUTO-TUNE POP). THIS NEW WORLD WORDER/ILLUMNATI IS DEEP YOU GUYS SHOULD LISTEN TO HIT SONGS REVERSED & PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO CURRENT WORLD ISSUES & WHAT PPL WHO do have money+power SAY IN SONGS TO REMAIN POPULAR IT WILL SCARE YOU IT'S no COICIDENCE to what bible says.wake up!

  • Slint's "spiderland" (post rock anyone!.. in 1991!) aphex twin selected ambient works 85-92 (intelligent dance music/electronica anyone!. Primal Screams's "Scremedelica" (i dunno best psychedelic album of the 90's or perhaps broke new ground in that area). ALL the Seattle grunge bands that came out of my city & made it the focal point of the world for 4 years!. all that TALENT IN ONE YEAR!. music has ZERO ANYTHING IN 5 YEARS AT LEAST.. ALBUMS ARE DEAD VIDEOS ARE DEAD,NOT EVEN SUB-GENERES ANYMORE

  • tHATS SO INSANE THEY EVEN SUPPOSEDLY CALLED 88-89 THE SEOCND SUMMER OF LOVE... & OH BOY LOOK WHAT WAS COMING.. THE YEAR WAS 1991!!, TALK TALK'S "LAUGHING STOCK" OUT THE GATE (ALL MENTIONED ARE REVOLUTIONARY INNOVATIVE OR TOTALLY CLASSIC- METALLICA'S BLACK ALBUM, nirvanas nevermind!(changed the industry), massive attacks "blue lines" (invented trip-hop!), MBV's "loveless" =So REVOLUTIONARY KILLED All poetntial *improvement* in a GENRE it started , red hot chilli pepper's"blood sugar sex magic"!

  • I feel as bad as a rap as the mainstream 80's got.. It's "innovative/revolutionary albums" of the time were even in more abundance (just not selling or on radio so much). I mean you have Joy Division's "Closer" at the begging of the decade!! (1980 release). Every artist could have quit there!, then comes metallicas master of puppets!, then!..sonic youths daydrean nation, THEN! GUNS N ROSES APPITITE FOR DESTRUCTION, THEN!! STONE ROSES SELF TITLED! DEBUT. .

  • Nothing eats "Loveless" so that's not even up for argument (If you honestly try no other shoegaze album did match It no matter what argument you can make.. but feel fre so I can shoot IT DOWN LOL.. iT'S ALL OPINION.. BUT YET SO OBVIOUS If YOU TEST IT!.. GO AHEAD SEARCH ANY SHOEGAZE ALBUM & TRY SONG TO SONG ALBUM TO ALBUM THEME TO THEME, EXECUTION TO EXECUTION.. INCLUDING 1 OF THE THE COOLEST ALBUM COVERS EVER). The only competition It has for 90's supremecy is OK Computer.. & everyone knows It.

  • The Perks of Being a Wallflower brought me here <3

  • @xxpeacelovemusic7 me too :))

  • @xxpeacelovemusic7 Fuck off and go listen to your awful Lady Gaga and Ryan Beatty

  • My favorite ride song...fucking love the drums

  • the most gorgeous song

  • Gott, waren die gut... Kann ich immernoch rauf und runter hören. Ich bin ein Kind 90er, echt :D

  • Comment removed

  • what's with this casual homophobia?Men who love men is a good thing.

  • @paniccat And you're and asshole

  • @zeller291 lol, why the fuck do you care, faggot?

  • @paniccat then if so swervedriver > mbv

  • @Hellagoodedie MBV > swervedriver, that's my fucking opinion and you can't prove it wrong, deal with it.

  • The way I come across most of the music I get into is sitting by a lake, maybe a bit high, and a lady rises out of the water and hands me a vinyl copy of whatever it is I should be listening to. She hasn't done me wrong yet. The only pure way of finding one's way to new art.

  • bring back shoegaze

  • i saw ride at the royal albert hall in the early 90s.they were superb.it was one of the best days of my life

  • i dont know if i should drop in to the left or right, that wave is the kind.

  • I love that violine at 2:57 - 3:05 !

  • I first heard Ride on an acid trip at U of M in the 90's... Been listening to em ever since!

  • I saw Ride, Live at the Royal Court, Liverpool in 1992 - fk brilliant gig - one of the best I ever went to - tears in the eye thinking back.

  • THE best track from THE best album ever. Easy.  I would say that is just my youth talking. But no... it is just beautiful.

  • Easily one of the best albums ever.............

  • Where's Mark Gardener now! 

  • Nowhere, one of my first albums and it still sounds great.

  • Appreciate this for what it is....the greatest RIDE song ever.....hands down....the GREATEST....listen to to lyrics and tell me diferent........you will lose.....Vapour Trail cannot be touched

  • Unless you were actually a teenager in the early 90s, you heard about this song from fuckin' Charlie; don't pretend you didn't.

  • @sixunderground1 Nop, I didin't. I discovered Ride on last.fm :)

  • @sixunderground1 No. My exes parents told me about them when they found out MBV is favorite band.

  • @sixunderground1 No. I heard about them from my exes parents when they found out MBV is my favorite band. I haven't read this Catcher in the Rye knock-off and I don't plan on ever doing so.

  • The amount of "comment wars" for this video is ridiculous....

  • Listen, whether if you heard of this buy reading The Perks or not, it doesn't matter. We can all agree this is a great song. Now, shut the hell up and enjoy you pretentious hipsters.

  • @staygoldx0 Hey, I'm pretentious...oh but I'm not a hipster, damn! I got half of it right. I'll strive harder next time.
