Like a Daydream Lyrics
The way your hair hangs down it hides away your face,
For you it's perfect, but it seems like such a waste.
And when I see you sliding past I make my plans,
And then my plans slip through my fingers just like sand.
I wish that life could be just like a photograph,
One moment captured as you laugh your perfect laugh.
But that's a daydream, things could never be so right,
There's so much more to think about than black and white.
For you it's perfect, but it seems like such a waste.
And when I see you sliding past I make my plans,
And then my plans slip through my fingers just like sand.
One moment captured as you laugh your perfect laugh.
But that's a daydream, things could never be so right,
There's so much more to think about than black and white.

What's this?! Ride, writing a happy song?! Surely not! But yes - and a bloody brilliant one to boot. Rampart guitar line, twisting and spiralling, soaring into the ether. Life may indeed be more complicated than a photograph, but this song is a wonderful snapshot of the pure thrill of teenage love. Absolutely superb. Put it on at the start of spring, and play it all through summer. It'll make you 20 years old younger. (Unless you're under 20, in which case you'll be playing it at stupidly loud volumes and it will just annoy your neighbours).
In my opinion, this song is right below Vapour Trail. It's one of Ride's greatest songs, and the guitar/vox just rule.
About an out-od-reach love. The song may seem happy but feels sad.
