“Ride Away was written a couple of years ago, and really hits the sweet spot of Della Mae’s bluegrass chops. I knew it was a good one when we hit those harmonies for the first time! I never set out to write an ill-fated love song about a motorcycle (because Richard Thompson already did that) but I couldn’t resist the line “as he red-lined that thunderbird”. Once I had that line the song built itself and became a cautionary tale about the tragedy of not letting anyone in your heart.” – Celia Woodsmith of Della Mae
