“Ride The Wind” by 3LTHØN: A Tribute to Courage and Resilience

Elton, the artist behind 3LTHØN, has always had music in his veins, and his latest track, “Ride The Wind,” is a poignant testament to the transformative power of sound. A blend of Afro House influences with rich, melodic layers, the track is an emotional journey that transcends the conventional boundaries of music.

The story behind “Ride The Wind” is deeply personal. Elton had just begun working on an original Afro House project when he experienced the heartbreaking loss of his close friend and cycling coach, Vitor Medrado, who was tragically murdered during a robbery in São Paulo. Vitor, a passionate trainer and lover of electronic music, had always been a source of inspiration for Elton. After Vitor’s farewell ceremony, Elton felt compelled to create something that would honor his friend’s energy—something full of light and movement, rather than sadness.

The track’s lyrics reflect Vitor’s inspiring words, including “What life expects from us is courage” and “Keep going when the road gets hard.” These lines encapsulate the essence of the song—a tribute to Vitor’s life and spirit, not his death. “Ride The Wind” carries a message of resilience, urging listeners to keep moving forward, no matter the challenges that lie ahead.

Elton’s journey from corporate executive to independent music producer is a powerful reminder of the importance of following one’s passions. With “Ride The Wind,” he blends personal loss, courage, and music into a track that speaks to the heart, keeping Vitor’s spirit alive through every beat. This is more than just a song—it’s a tribute, a celebration of life, and a call to keep going, no matter the road ahead.
