SOTD #24
Today’s song is Ride Forever by Paul Gross
So I say to all you old men, don’t let yourself get broke
If you think the world’s gone crazy
And it’s scratching at your throat
It’s time to dust off that old saddle, get it on a horse
Kick up your spurs, we’re gonna run like stink
We’re gonna tear across these blue Alberta skies
We’re gonna ride forever
You can’t keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call it’s only then
I might pull in the reins.
Paul Gross played the lead in one of my all-time favourite TV series, Due South, and this song comes from the episode All The Queen’s Horses. In the version that’s in the show, there’s a guest appearance from Leslie Nielsen which doesn’t do the song justice but the studio version is a tour-de-force of a song that starts gently and quietly and builds to a rousing and rallying climax. A real feel good song that deserves to be played loud.
