Along for the ride

[Cyclopssss]

I think this song deserves its own thread. One of the sweetest songs they ever recorded.

Top 3 on the album for me

[Moor]

For me it is the dessert of the album (and easter egg being the digestive tea) 

[Jay.Ess]

Thought it was a good track when I heard it before the album came out, but it didnt do all that much for me.

Within the context of the album it's much stronger, and I love where it's placed in the tracklisting..the calm before the storm.

[Tom Bombadil]

I think it's a great song, top 3-4 on the album for me.

[Tis BOOLsheet]

A decent song, no doubt, but when the rest of the album is awesome, it becomes the worst on it.

[TAC]

Yes, this is probably the only song that is not doing it for me.

[hefdaddy42]

Glorious.

[aprilethereal]

One word: amazing

I love every second of this song, and the lyrics are some of JP's very best, even though the message is pretty basic

[TheOutlawXanadu]

Great verses, but the chorus feels a little out of place to me. Still a good song though!

[Plasmastrike]

Really tasty guitar work throughout this song. I covered the second verse tonight. Here ya go

[Sycsa]

It's a great song indeed, by far their best ballad since I don't know how long. I have a feeling it's going to be huge live.

Funny you chose that part, JP's little flutter under "clarity on the horizon" is one of my favorite bits and stood out even during the first listen.

[fibreoptix]

Probably my second favourite on DT12. I'm really really glad I didn't listen to it before the album release. The chorus is one of their most memorable ever.

[wolfking]

Weakest song on the album for me.  But in the context of the album, it works pretty well.

[aprilethereal]

I actually think the chorus is the weakest part.

[Lowdz]

Love it in the context of the album.

[1neeto]

Least favorite of DT12, but that doesn't mean it's a bad song. It just so happens that the rest of the album is so much better.

[MirzekDT]

Wasn't my favorite at the beginning at all but now it's amazing song and I love the lyrics as well as the music. Last three songs on DT12 are a perfect run for me.

[jakepriest]

Wish it got a better chorus. The drum sound doesn't really work on the song and brings it down a bit.

Still one of the better DT ballads, though it doesn't have shit on This Is The Life 

[Daso]

Am I the only one who would love an acoustic version of this song?

[Enalya]

It's funny, at first I didn't think the song was interesting at all - too slow and boring. But I guess it secretly planted a parasite in my brain and now I enjoy it. Especially the guitar part that starts at 1:20 <3

[adamack]

At first when I heard it, I was honestly very disappointed. I loved the intro and verses, but for some reason I wasn't feeling the chorus.

But after the album came out, for some reason I started to like it much better.

Absolutely love JR's solo now too, regardless of its similarity to BTS.

Definitely a great song.

[The Letter M]

Almost the same for me, actually - I liked it at first, then I found it boring, but then as I listened to the album more and more, I've grown fond of it. It's a much needed breather after the amazing 1-2-3 punch prior to it, and before the closing epic.

-Marc.

[Marion Crane]

Best song on the album and the best "ballady" type song they've done in years

[?]

I still like this song, but the line "Finding hope in our hopeless lives" has started to bug me a bit Would it have been too hard to replace the first "hope" with some other word?

TBOT syndrome? 

[Nearmyth]

I like everything except in the song except the chorus. It works in terms of album placement, but it just sounds forced and sappy and generic to me. The rest of the song, the verses, the bridge, the solos; all great.

[JiM-Xtreme]

One of my bottom two songs from the album, along with TEI. It seems relatively uninspired for a DT song.

[Mebert78]

Whoa, the nighttime stars in the "Along for the Ride" video are in the shape of the majesty symbol!  How did I never notice this before?

[BlobVanDam]

I didn't notice it until it was pointed out either!

[InfraredDream]

Love this song a lot! Can't say it is my favorite in an album full of great songs. But it is a top 3 probably! Love the lyrics as well!

[The Stray Seed]

I didn't notice it until it was pointed out either!

+1

[Prog Snob]

Top 3 on the album for me

Same for me.  I love the melodies and Jordan's solo is damn cool.

[JiM-Xtreme]

One of my bottom two songs from the album, along with TEI. It seems relatively uninspired for a DT song.

Although, I have to say I'm really loving the keyboard solo section at the moment. The way that the keyboard melody and the bass are almost doing a kind of counterpoint is something we haven't really ever heard in DT music before.
