Leave Them All Behind

Released on 3 February 1992 as the opening track and lead single from Ride's second album Going Blank Again, this song debuted at No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart, the band's highest-ever position. Written by Andy Bell, Loz Colbert, Mark Gardener, and Steve Queralt, it became the first single released on Creation Records to reach the top ten in the United Kingdom. The song's lyrics are a confident statement about Ride's musical talent relative to the rest of the shoegaze scene.
