About Riding the Wave

"Riding the Wave" is a song by Australian indie pop band, Sheppard. The song was released in Australia on 13 April 2018 as the fifth single from the band's second studio album, Watching the Sky (2018). Upon release, George Sheppard said "It has been a huge journey of self-discovery for us. With the incredible success of "Geronimo" it was a big lesson for us to focus on the music rather than the success." Amy Sheppard added, "Even when we were at our most successful, there was always someone trying to bring us down, but at every point there's been many, many more supporting us and giving us this gift of being able to create music with our lives. That's why you just need to accept yourself and what you have in the here and now — that's really what "Riding the Wave" is about. A long-term career band is going to have highs and lows, but what matters is the music. You've got to keep riding the wave… much like life."

Don't you know this night isn't over
'Cause I've still got this music running round in my head
We could lose it all in this moment
Then do it all again and again and again
Lazy eyes, I don't wanna sound
Crazy high, but I'm having this
Amazing time, out here with you

It's been a good night
We don't need a DJ to party
No one's saying goodbye
We're riding, we're riding the wave
Yes it's been a good night
And this party's just getting started
No one's saying goodbye
Keep riding, keep riding the wave

Moving to the thumping rhythm
Of our beating hearts
Nothing but our troubles missing
We're glowing in the dark
Lazy eyes, I don't wanna sound
Crazy high, but I'm having this
Amazing time, out here with you

It's been a good night
We don't need a DJ to party
No one's saying goodbye
We're riding, we're riding the wave
Yes it's been a good night
And this party's just getting started
No one's saying goodbye
Keep riding, keep riding the wave

Let the waves crash down
Pull us under now
Lost inside the sound
Let's rise, rise, rise

It's been a good night
We don't need a DJ to party
No one's saying goodbye
We're riding, we're riding the wave
Yes it's been a good night
And this party's just getting started
No one's saying goodbye
Keep riding, keep riding the wave

Keep riding, keep riding the wave
