"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Ride, the world's fastest and only actual reality roller coaster," begins the playfully odd song "The Ride" by Stephen William Tarak. The song is mostly rooted in Funk and Soul, and is carried by its catchy lyrics about the exhilarating journey of life. The singer expresses gratitude for being reminded that it's all about the ride, not the destination...and that his best memories were created unexpectedly, in transit (in other words, the things he never planned to do). The band has a great dialogue and meshes perfectly; all the instruments are mixed together well and work effectively to get you moovin' and groovin'.
