A Moment Ago by Andreas and the Revolving Riot published on 2023-12-06T18:03:27Z "A Moment Ago." A rock ballad about long distance relationships. Rob absolutely nailed this solo, by the way; it is incendiary and reminiscent to me of a Slash solo and encompasses some true-Hollywood licks. The transition from Afterlife to Six Hour Ride as a band also came with some pinnacle moments of adolescents, including first girlfriends. Both Rob and I had relationships that started local and in California and ended up long distance. One being in Arizona (mine) and the other in NYC (Rob). Listening to this song, today, I see how important it actually is in our canon, which is why I am releasing it again. It is one of the main reasons we named our band what we did. Roughly, It would take me six hours to get to Arizona and six hours for Rob to fly to NYC. So, there you have it... a six hour ride for the sake of first loves. Add to it the lyrical, ballad-driven, landscape of being apart from our significant others, getting accustomed to travel and airports... saying, "I don't ever want to leave you..." yet, having to constantly go, etc. It became a theme for that time in our lives and also and great spot in the album and set-list to slow things down a bit. From my vault straight to yours, enjoy! P.S. Chris' bass parts are underrated on this song and listen to Kyle's 'cross-sticking' in the second verse. We were on fire! -Andreas Genre Rock
