So I'll Never Ride Again
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Melancholic Tale of a Cyclist's Misfortune (1900) This evocative promotional music sheet for the song "So I'll Never Ride Again," composed by Harry Leighton and George Everard, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 1900s. Sung by the renowned Frank Coyne, this melancholic musical piece tells a heartfelt story of a cyclist's unfortunate encounter with an unnamed crowd. The illustration on this sheet captures the essence of the song, with a downtrodden cyclist, played by Frank Coyne, standing next to his damaged bicycle. The once pristine Dunlop tire now bears a gaping hole, symbolizing the cyclist's shattered dreams and the end of his carefree rides. The background scene reveals a bustling music hall, filled with an animated crowd, hinting at the possible source of the cyclist's misfortune – an anti-cycling mob. The turn of the century was an era of rapid industrialization and urbanization, where leisure activities like cycling gained immense popularity. This song and its accompanying artwork serve as a poignant reminder of the simple joys of cycling and the potential risks that came with it. The music sheet's promotional purpose underscores the importance of entertainment in people's lives, as they sought solace and enjoyment in the form of music halls and live performances. This piece of history, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique insight into the cultural and social fabric of the early 1900s, allowing us to appreciate the enduring power of music and art to evoke emotions and transport us through time.
