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.

And the 171 clapped as emotion filled the room and took everyone away

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.

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.

This is the song I immediately thought of when I learned Lou Reed died. Rest in Peace and Ride Into the Sun.

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.

That’s what it’s all about right there man. That feeling, like you are apart of something bigger.. I feel this.

This song makes me cry for no reason

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.

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.

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!

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.

Don't forget she was the ONLY female drummer in a band AT ALL throughout a period in which most women had to work "pink-collar" jobs. so roles for chicks in music were notoriously few & limited to vocals & tambourine - which was LAME. but "lame" maureen tucker was NOT. hell, i saw her live at Churchill's in miami in the late 90s, still touring & playing in bands then. but she must be 80 y.o. by now, so i'd be very surprised if she's actually schlepping at walmart as u suggest - or anywhere. so ur clearly talking out of ur ass. u just sound silly - like a hater who isn't even enough of a v.u. fan of to know mo was not just some rando bimbo they "drug[sic] off the street"! i just wish u had a clue wtf u were blithering about & could hear how honestly ignorant u sound.

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!
