my way;
//But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

//I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.

//To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way

so...
he used a similar idiom in his comment as features in the song lyric for another track
there are a million and one songs with the same theme,
try 'beat it' by michael jackson.
seriously dude. you tell me what your favourite song is with a brief comment as to why
and i'll find you at least three other songs with the same theme
and be very careful with your comment
because if you lyrically reference any other songs in your description of your track
i will refute that it's your favourite song
and 'help you to realise' you're wrong
bubble is an apt description for this publication

that's not your favourite song. you're too defensive to post your real favourite song

// that's not your favourite song.
// you're too defensive to post your real favourite song

that genuinely is my favourite song. or, at least, one of the many songs I like that, depending on circumstances, mood and the sound system I'm using, can be tagged as my 'favourite'. I mean who, really, can say that one song is their favourite amongst the hundreds of songs they enjoy.

// your favourite song is 'Livin' & Rockin' by 311

brilliant, I'll track it down.

// Ride - Leave Them All Behind

1997-2001 Post break-up years
After the split, Andy Bell formed a new band called "Hurricane #1" but this project was permanently dissolved when he was asked to play bass for Oasis after having turned down the opportunity to join Gay Dad. Mark Gardener and Laurence Colbert formed the short-lived The Animalhouse. Gardener has also toured as a solo artist, while Colbert has also been playing for a Bob Dylan tribute band called The Zimmermen. Queralt appears to have retired from professional music and was last seen working in retail management for Habitat in Cumnor in Oxford.

2001+ Channel Four and beyond
On 16 October 2001, all four members of Ride agreed to be filmed by Channel 4. The footage was used for a documentary on Sonic Youth, and featured both Bell's and Gardener's unique use of feedback and distortion during a thirty minute jam. The recording of this song, plus two short sound checks, were released in 2002 as Coming up for Air. The interest this limited release CD caused the band to consider future releases. In late 2002, Ride released a 3CD box set which is made up of OX_4 The Best of Ride, Firing Blanks (Unreleased tracks) and Live_Reading Festival 1992. In 2003 they released Waves, a series of recordings the band made for the BBC. A DVD is being worked out, and the band's manager Dave Newton has discussed the idea of future releases of live shows, possibly as internet-releases.

Mark Gardener is also now pursuing a solo career. From 2003 to 2005, Mark toured extensively, sometimes with the help of Oxford friends Goldrush, in order to personally fund a full length studio album. During the tour, a three-track EP with Goldrush (Falling Out Into the Night) and a live album (the acoustic solo Live @ the Knitting Factory, New York City) were released. He also spent part of 2005 working with the French duo rinôçérôse. In late 2005, Mark's album These Beautiful Ghosts was released in North America on United For Oppurtunity. Release of the album in other regions is expected in early 2006.

The fact that the band appears to be releasing new material and even being interviewed together suggested that the tension between Gardener and Bell, which was one of the main causes of the band's demise, has been mended.

Any thoughts of permanently re-forming the band, however, have been explicitly denied by Bell, with the reasoning that it would not live up to expectations. However, the members, Bell included, have stated that they would not mind working with each other again. Since, Bell and Colbert made an appearance at one of Gardener's early shows; Bell later shared two nights of acoustic sets with Gardener in November 2003 when Gardener made a tour stop in Bell's current home of Stockholm.

Loz Colbert has also started playing in a band again - not as drummer, but as guitarist and vocalist. In 2005, Gardener was stuck in France and unable to play the Truck Festival; Colbert's band filled the gap in the bill.

// and what I heard of the next album was good, have you got it?
// have you got it?

nah, I never got round to getting either of their last two albums. Going Blank Again [the Leave it All Behind album] was (and still is) still one of my favourite albums, and I still spin the Nowhere album and Ride EP once in a while, but I've never been a completist when it comes to bands. I think a band's best work is often their first two or three releases, after which (unless in the face of massive critical acclaim) it's probably safest to leave alone, rather than be disappointed at their slow demise.

//My favourite NZ song is Bitter, by Shihad.//

There's this drum bit where it's just drums, bass and Jon's vocals which I find amazing. The video rocks socks too...

It was from the musical Chess?
Not that thats to do with anything. Yeah I'd go for the vomit comment.
Also just kinda random but Shine on you crazy diamond was played at my cousin's funeral too.

More importantly when are they going to ask musicians to name their all time favourite politician?
