Ride Like The Wind- Christopher Cross
- NeedsKeys Piano Electric - Rhodes
- NeedsVocals
The song tells the story of a condemned criminal on the run to Mexico. Told from a first-person point of view, it describes how an outlaw and convicted multiple murderer, on the run from a death-by-hanging sentence, has to "ride like the wind" to reach "the border of Mexico," where, presumably, the posse in pursuit of him will not be able to reach him.
Cross was on acid when he wrote the lyrics. "We were living in Houston at the time, and on the way down to Austin to record the songs, it was just a beautiful Texas day. I took acid. So I wrote the words on the way down from Houston to Austin."
In 1999, the satirical newspaper The Onion published a story with the headline, "Christopher Cross Finally Reaches Mexican Border" The headline was a reference to the song, and the three-sentence story made several specific allusions to the lyrics. Cross appreciated the honor.

@UkuleleJay can I try a piano track?
@UkuleleJay Would you like a vocal track?
I watched the vids as well and tried but I think the secret it to get it synced by collaborator.. thanks jay
I have a fix tested tonight and can sync. I am publishing a video on Bandhug to show people who are the PUBLISHER to sync the videos. It's not that bad once you know how to do it. Took me about 5 minutes and had it all sync'd and published.
oh wow.. it doesnt make any sense i have it in sync and i make sure the time signature has changed, i cannot publish as its not my collab ,, i cant re save either. dunno what to do other than let it go and come back in a few weeks and see what has been done,,
