The song is a declaration of love in a time of adversity – the one thing that gets us all through difficult times. Though the lyrics might be dark in parts, Ricky Ross and Lorraine McIntosh’s signature harmonies leave us with an upbeat and hopeful message: the tide of love will keep us afloat.

“But I’m living, and I’m breathing and I’m real
And I’m sliding and and I’m clinging
But you’re here
and I’m riding on the tide of love!”

Ricky Ross explains: “After “City of Love” was finished I looked through songs which might have been on the album. I realised too late how perfectly “Riding On The Tide of Love” would have fitted on the record. These things sometimes happen when in you’re in the middle of a creative project. However, as fate would have it we realised that this was a better song for the year we’ve just been through. It’s about optimism in the face of a bad series of events. The world keeps turning and love is still our best and only way out.”
