I stepped out on a celluloid night
That flickered on a black and white reel
Looking for something that I could not explain
I could only feel
These were the songs upheld by the shades
That spoke to me as I left town
Israelites, The Harder they Come, 54-47*
I hear them now
And the words of the prophets never sounded
As good as the echo of a hard one drop
To be forever enslaved by a sound the creator
Made- don't let it stop
Come again, midnight passenger
There to accompany down
To the end of the souls tlost avenue
Feel it now
I kept walking in the dust all night
Looking for a diamond in the crush
Halfway under in bars like a shop that was going
Down-or coming up
It was not the sun that stung, but the feel of loss
And the voice of suffering and fate
Till I just stopped listening to the chatter of all
Those yesterdays- crime pays
We will show up with all our secret problems
And even if we can't find land
There's a tone written into soul songs
That understands
We will be free
Common Rider were a ska punk band formed in 1999 by Jesse Michaels (guitar, vocals), Mass Giorgini (bass) and Dan Lumley (drums). The band had a much softer edge than that of Michaels' first group, Operation Ivy, but still contained the same amount of energy and passion. Common Rider released two studio albums: "Common Rider" (2001) and "The Last Ride" (2003), both well-received by critics. Their music is characterized by catchy ska melodies, energetic punk riffs and introspective lyrics that explore themes such as loneliness, alienation and the search for meaning in life. Among their most representative songs are "The Last Ride", "Common Rider" and "Lost in the Crowd".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
