Common Rider
Common Rider was formed in 1999 in California by Jesse Michaels (guitar, vocals), Mass Giorgini (bass), and Dan Lumley (drums).

They released two full-length albums and one EP. Last Wave Rockers was released in 1999 on Lookout! Records. Thief In a Sleeping Town EP was also released on Lookout! Records in 2001.

The band released This Is Unity Music on Hopeless Records in 2002. In 2002, the band toured the US extensively, including the 2002 Plea For Peace tour, sponsored by Asian Man Records. On the tour, Phillip Hill (from the Teen Idols and also a major contributor on the album This is Unity Music) and Joe Mizzi (from Metro Detroit and also a guest vocalist on the album This Is Unity Music) played guitar for the band. A new EP (April 2005), split with Against All Authority, has been released containing outtakes from 2002's This Is Unity Music.

They broke up in 2003 mainly because of the want to pursue other opportunities. Dan Lumley officially retired from music at that time as well. Mass still remains in Squirtgun. In 2008, Jesse began a new band called Classics of Love.

Classics Of Love
Common Rider Lyrics


At one -
I was sitting and thinking of all the
Beautiful things he could have become
Instead of a lyrical oracle and I'm a most appreciative one
'Cause I'm in a world of my own
When I'm into it I don't want anything else
And nothing can bother me when I'm inside of it
'Cause I'm outside of myself

Midnight Marauder spinning on my stereo
Mr. Desmond Dekker got a crown made of gold
The kids are alright a what a what I hear
London calling but I have no fear
Ms. Ella Fitzgerald got no peer
A Music sweet music make the truth so clear
Classics of love make a dark day light
If you don't believe the words then just look into their eyes

Sun shining (sun shining) down on a cloudy day
I know those songs gonna last forever
Thats what I say

At two -
I'm running around in my mind and my mind's a fucking zoo
One of the ones under the gun wondering "what do I do?"
Ever feel the same way? Slave to the brain wave
Brave if you pave ways through to the true you.
If you take me out, please don't forget to take me home
If you take me to a party, don't forget the microphone
If we take my car, then please don't try to touch the radio
'Cause the midnight sun is burning bringing peace into my soul

Sun shinin down on a cloudy day
I know those songs gonna last forever
That's what I say

Now I'm listening to the classics of love in the day or night
You got the power radiate and fade
You got the vibe make you feel alright Come on

Sun shining (sun shining) down on a cloud day
I know those songs gonna last forever
That's what I say...
