“Motorcycle” by Love and Rockets

"Motorcycle" rides in on Love and Rockets, the English band's self-titled fourth album, issued by Beggars Banquet in 1989. Daniel Ash wrote the words and sings it, and the music is credited to Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins; Ash plays guitar and bass, David J bass as well, and Haskins drums, with John Fryer engineering.

The album was a turn for them. They shrugged off the folk sound of Earth, Sun, Moon in favor of harder rock, though tints of their old psychedelic and gothic side still show through, and Ash and David J, the chief songwriters, had by then taken to writing apart rather than together. This record also carried Ash's "So Alive", their biggest hit, became their best-selling album in America and sent them out on a long world tour.
