Echoes de Luxe Song of the Week: "The Ride"

We’re all immensely proud of this tune, and became even more so when it was hand-picked for airplay on Nic Harcourt’s weekly radio show on 89.9 KCRW. 

It’s a song we feel captures every element of the band-mood, melody, texture, emotion, and energy.

Download it along with the rest of "The NotreMonde Demos" for free.

the last time that i had seen her face
she took a walk out to her favorite place
she had on her leather jacket a yellow purse and her special locket
the last time that i had seen her face

some say that she has run away
some say she’s with another boy
either way i’m left here broken
bruised and battered, sobbing choking
thinking of the times i’d seen her face

i know i don’t have to be alone
'cos in my dreams she is coming home
i’ll look in her eyes and her knowing smile
her voice in my head says “it’s been a while”

several days later they continue the search
they’re breaking in teams now
when all of a sudden they’re running through town
they’re ringing the church bells
somebody found her locket buried in sand
under the playground
as soon as they told me i couldn’t stand
they’re ripping my heart out
