Ride Into Tomorrow
Why you looking so down,
You're no fun with that empty frown,
Move and have a look around,
This good 'n' bad one horse town.
Come on move aside,
Let life take you for a ride,
Not soon, not later now,
If you want I can show you how.
I just got one small and tiny voice,
And this big wide open world,
I've got some answers for sure,
But I’m always searchin’ for more.
Come on move aside,
Let life take you for a ride,
Not soon, not later now,
If you want I can show you how.
That’s it, you're gettin' together,
If you keep it up you'll be smilin’ forever,
Folks will come to you,
And keep you out of the color blue.
Come on move aside,
Let life take you for a ride,
Not soon, not later now.
Move with eyes wide open,
Move with a smile and not a frown,
Move in this one horse town.
Come on move aside,
Let life take you for a ride,
Not soon, not later now,
Move it, seek and love it,
And you'll grow into a bigger brighter world.
Written and produced by Tasmanian Songwriter Jason Bresnehan, Ride Into Tomorrow is a blues rock song about curiosity, optimism and the decision to participate fully in life rather than standing on the sidelines complaining about it. Set against the backdrop of a small town, the song argues that a person's future is not determined by geography, circumstances or beginnings. Instead, it is shaped by openness, movement and a willingness to embrace opportunity when it appears.
Built around the repeated invitation to "move aside and let life take you for a ride", the song encourages listeners to stop letting fear, negativity and self-doubt drive their decisions and to become active participants in their own story.
MUSICAL DIRECTION
Ride Into Tomorrow is a blues rock song driven by optimism, momentum and forward motion. The arrangement feels light on its feet, conversational and encouraging, carrying the tone of an older traveller sharing hard-earned wisdom with somebody who has become stuck.
The verses feel relaxed and approachable, while the chorus opens into an uplifting call to action. Rather than dwelling on obstacles, the song continually looks ahead. The overall mood is positive, energetic and hopeful, creating the feeling of a long road stretching towards new possibilities.
THE ARTWORK
The artwork depicts a classic convertible driving through a modest neighbourhood towards a distant city skyline glowing in the evening light. The contrast between the small houses in the foreground and the vast city beyond creates a powerful visual metaphor for the song itself.
The image is not about escaping a small town. It is about recognising that the world is larger than we often imagine. The driver is already moving. The journey has already begun. What once seemed distant and unreachable now sits clearly visible on the horizon.
The artwork reinforces the song's central idea that our starting point does not define our destination. The bigger world is already there. The only question is whether we are willing to move towards it.
PERSONAL CONNECTION TO JASON BRESNEHAN SONGWRITER AND PRODUCER
Ride Into Tomorrow reflects a belief that has become increasingly important to Jason Bresnehan throughout his recovery, business, writing and songwriting journey.
Many people assume their world is limited by where they live, where they grew up or what opportunities appear immediately in front of them. The song argues the opposite. Whether someone lives in a one-horse town, a small state, a small country or a major city is largely irrelevant compared to their willingness to remain curious, keep moving and stay open to possibility.
The song also reflects Jason's observation that growth often begins when people step aside and stop allowing their most negative instincts to dominate the conversation. Family, friends, faith, mentors and the optimistic side of our own personality frequently see possibilities that our fearful side refuses to consider.
The phrase "move aside and let life take you for a ride" captures this idea perfectly. It is not a call to become passive. It is a call to stop letting cynicism, fear and self-limitation hold the steering wheel.
At its heart, Ride Into Tomorrow is a song about expansion. The world grows larger as curiosity grows larger. Opportunities grow larger as vision grows larger. People often discover that the bigger, brighter world they were searching for was waiting for them all along. The challenge was simply becoming the sort of person capable of growing into it.
