The acoustic rock band Vertical Horizon was formed in 1990 by Georgetown University undergrads Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane; after graduation in 1991 the duo relocated to Boston and, in 1992, self-released their debut album There and Back Again. There and Back Again was recorded in Matt's old high school over a period of a few days, and Matt and Keith together played all the instruments appearing on the album, though they both mostly played acoustic guitar. Both also contributed to writing all the songs, and both sang. Matt and Keith toured for several years after this, mostly appearing with similar bands such as Jackopierce. By 1995, they were ready to record again.

The Ride Lyrics
Vertical Horizon
I hope you know why
Youre taking me for a ride
Im taking it on the chin
Protecting the parts where the angers been
When its deep inside
And each day my hope subsides
Its killed by your reasons why
Chalking it up to fate
Whats to become of the injured hate
When it wont die
Chorus:
And though Id like to sail away
Your eyes just drag me down
Into another stormy day
So Ive got to get away
Someday Ill realize
Why you wouldnt be my bride
I wish you could take the hit
cause your luck becomes what you make of it
But you have to try
And though Id like to sail away
Your eyes just drag me down
Into another lonely day
Wont you save me
Im taking it on the chin
Protecting the parts where the angers been
When its deep inside
Chorus
