The video for ‘Let It Ride’ is the first part of ‘Live on Display’, a live performance the band filmed at Smash Salvage, an antique store in Ontario during the COVID pandemic.
It was directed and filmed by Tarek’s brother Sameer Jafar.
[Verse 1]
Took a minute to roam, golden towers in view
No, I don't feel at home, this is something new
I think I'll stay for a while, don't lead me back so soon
'Cause I know you're holding it down, I've always counted on you
[Chorus]
And I don't care 'bout the money, I know who I am
All my pockets are sunny, my foes are my friends
So let it ride 'til the morning, ride 'til the morning comes
Let it ride 'til the morning, ride 'til that morning comes
[Verse 2]
I think I lose track of time when I post up at the bar
But you don't need to remind me what my vices are
I know it gets a littlе thick when I hop on the phone
And I can always hеar a timbre sayin', "Come back home"
But if you love me like you say, you gotta let me roam
'Til I'm ready
'Til I'm ready
[Chorus]
And I don't care 'bout the money, I know who I am
All my pockets are sunny, my foes are my friends
So let it ride 'til the morning, ride 'til the morning comes
Let it ride 'til the morning, ride 'til that morning comes
[Bridge]
I-I let it
I-I let it ride (Ooh)
I-I let it
I-I let it ride (Ooh)
I-I let it
(Ooh) If you love me like you say, you gotta let me roam
(Ooh) Girl, if you love me like you say, you gotta let me roam
(Ooh)
Let me go
[Chorus]
So let it ride 'til the morning, ride 'til the morning comes
Let it ride 'til the morning, ride 'til that morning comes
Let it Ride was written by Tarek Jafar & Justin Tessier.
Let it Ride was produced by Paul Meany.
The Blue Stones released Let it Ride on Thu Sep 10 2020.
“It’s a song about having an appetite for adventure and a desire for security at the same time. Musicians are ambitious and adventurous, and hard to pin down into a stable, traditional lifestyle. And if you love us, you have to let us roam.”
