Sacha di Manolo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cost me a lot but there's one thing that I've got
Cost me a lot but there's one thing that I've got
There's one thing, there's one thing that I've got That I've got
There's one thing, there's one thing that I've got
It's for the flying in my dreams at night,
It's for the shapes of the clouds in the sky,
It's for my people doin'it right,

It's for the sample riding time.
Vintage keyboards and dusty roads,
End of the sixties abroad.
I know it's far long time up to now,
But all those things made a blow in my mind,
concept albums, weird orchestrations,
all kinds of stuffs you'll put in your own collection,
From the museum of sounds, and all the golden men around.
Right on, ride on, I'm jammin on it again
Right on, ride on, I'm jammin on it again
It's for the guy who just made a song,
and dissapeared, was it right or wrong?
Giving the search for a whole generation,
That dust attract more, that dust attract more than a big reaction.
Back i'm back, i'm back into the days,
The good, the good, the good old days.
Back i'm back, i'm back into the days,
The good, the good, the good old days.
Right on, Ride On, I'm jamming on it again
Right on, Ride On, I'm jamming on it again
Right on, Ride On, I'm jamming on it again
Down there in the stacks of grooves,
Putting the needle on again and again.
I think i was taken for good,
To play this game and stop is vain.
The past and present might be my future.
Vanishing tapes or hit the holly filter,
Make your choice and bring me the Rolls voice.
Right on, Ride On, I'm jamming on it again
Right on, Ride On, I'm jamming on it again
Right on, Ride On, I'm jamming on it again
Right on.
Why don't, Why don't we just do?
Just do a simple symphony?
Why don't, Why don't we just do?
Just do a simple symphony?
Why don't, Why don't we just do?
Just do a simple symphony?

Right on, jammin' on it, jammin' on it
Ride on, jammin' on it, jammin' on it, jammin' on it, jammin' on it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sacha di Manolo's "Ride On" express a deep appreciation for the music of the past and the impact it has on the present. The repetition of "Cost me a lot but there's one thing that I've got" emphasizes the importance of the one thing that the singer has, which serves as a reminder of the beauty and value of music. The singer lists the reasons for this appreciation. The music makes the singer dream and imagine, with the shapes of clouds and flying appearing in their vision. For the singer, this music also represents a time when people were doing things "right." The vintage keyboards and dusty roads evoke images of a past era, the end of the sixties. Sacha di Manolo expresses a yearning for the sounds of "concept albums, weird orchestrations" and all kinds of unique music that he associates with that period. He also mentions that all these things have left a lasting impact on his mind.

The second half of the song talks about the fascination with the past and how it affects the present. The singer reminisces about a time when an artist would put out a song and then disappear. As they question whether their sudden disappearance was right or wrong, they note how it served to give "search for a whole generation." The nostalgia for "the good old days" is thick in this song. The lyrics suggest that the singer is completely taken by the past while still being cognizant of the present. The lines "The past and present might be my future" and "Vanishing tapes or hit the holly filter/Make your choice and bring me the Rolls voice" signify the continuation of the past's influence while still acknowledging the present's role. The repetition of "right on, ride on; I'm jamming on it again" throughout the song emphasizes the positive energy that the song aims to project. Ultimately, the singer reminds us that sometimes we should just focus on simple things like appreciating music and creating something pure and beautiful.
