In your mind, what was "The Ride" supposed to be?

There are two ways of making music for me. There's a calculated route-like, I know exactly what I'm going to do with this song. And then there's the free mind. That was one of the free-minded records. It was all subconscious. I'll make the music first and loop it, and then I'll go into the booth and start singing almost 45 minutes straight. And these are not words; this is gibberish. It's a songwriter language. There are lyrics on Thursday, I don't even know what the fuck I said. "Gone" was a complete freestyle.

well he kept his word, he is gone

that second drugged out part is everburning flames :whew:
I'm tempted to skip the song directly to that part, because not only the singing but the beat too becomes sick, but I can't skip/fast forward a weeknd song. Plus the first part, although not so stellar, is necessary to be present on the song, because it makes you "try" the shallow waters first, before drowning you,
willingly or unwillingly,
