“I RIDE”

A Powerful American Anthem for the 250th Anniversary of the United States

THE SONG

“I Ride” is a defiant, soul-stirring anthem that reaches back to the very heartbeat of America’s
birth. Inspired by the midnight ride of April 18, 1775, the song honors the extraordinary courage
of Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott, three ordinary men who risked everything
to warn some key players at Lexington and Concord that the British were coming.
As the United States approaches 250 years as a united nation, “I Ride” revives the spirit of
sacrifice, unity, vigilance, and freedom that forged a country against impossible odds.
More than a historical retelling, the song becomes a mirror for the present moment asking
listeners what they are willing to stand for when comfort, truth, and freedom are on the line.
With cinematic energy, emotional grit, and a soaring sense of purpose, “I Ride” is both a tribute
and an emotionally inspirational wake-up call.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“This song is about courage under pressure.
It’s about ordinary people making extraordinary choices when something bigger than themselves
is at stake.
‘I Ride’ asks the question:
If everything you loved was at risk… would you be brave enough to ride into the dark for it?”
— Glenda Benevides
