The Cars No. 3 hit from their Heartbeat City album, with lead vocals for a change by the far-to-soon-departed Benjamin Orr, on one of the most dreamlike and hauntingly beautiful tracks they ever laid down. With Both Orr and leadman Ric Ocasek departed forever, other than YouTube, I'll be the only one playing their catalog most days. Enjoy. Including Ocasek's long-time partner and Sports Illustrated 80s supermodel Paulina Porizkova doing another cameo as the crazy chick in the music video of this track.
ric ocasek cashed in way too early. oh well. what can ya do?
ReplyDeleteBeen a Cars fan since their days of playing the Rathskeller in Boston in the late 70s, was turned on to them by my sister's boyfriend who was their sound guy back when he was basically their road crew at the time.
ReplyDeleteI always like Drive, but I did not "get it" until I married a women who was bipolar/BPD, then it really hit home
My local radio station has played this song on occasion...hauntingly familiar for some reason...
ReplyDeleteHaunting is a good word. Hard to wrap my head around it being from 1984. Truly great music is evergreen. Always fresh yet still familiar.
