Ric Ocasek - Emotion In Motion

[neyikenhai]

this song

[RichmondSpiritMedium]

Always liked this song - remember hearing it on the radio in the late '80s (I was 10 or 11 when it came out) and calling the radio station DJ to find out who did the song, since he didn't announce it on the radio....

[Vennegoor10]

If you're a spirit medium why did you need to ask the DJ?

[aitken1971]

roland orzabal (from tears for fears)

plays the guitar on this track

[spaceorbison]

This video plays out like a video game, princess dies, go fight big monster for the curing potion... was this before or after Zelda Nintendo.... hmmm

[spaceorbison]

Thanks for the answer dickface, the fact that you actaully know the answer means you're a bigger fucking dork than me.

[BlackJackDave007]

sorry to say man i think it was way before. Rick Ocasek has some great videos but were really wierd but i think it was before the game

[adamsp1]

This reminds me of when I met my first wife. Thankfuly my love of the song has lasted much longer

[Clagap]

El hombre mas lindo del mundo me dedico esta canción y me enamoro...

[captainmidnight1967]

Its O-KAY-SIK. I had neighbors growing up that had the same last name.

I remember this song. The Cars were inactive and I hoped were just resting.

[cbethfly]

I remember a girl on the school bus, WAY back in the 80's when this song came out. She was homely as sin and always wore a Walkman (showing my age here). She started screaming because this song came on, then sat back and listened and looked like she was utterly in love, like the guy was singing to her. That's my memory of this song.

[142060]

I really like your memory. The 80's were AWESOME!!!

[DoUBeliveNRockNRoll]

I totally thought i was watching 'The Labyrinth' for a second. The 80's were so...magically bizarre, i love it. Great song.

[BlackJackDave007]

i agree Rick and the Cars always had great sonds and videos

[Rusfi16]

This song always sounded very similar to Elton Johns No Sacrafice to me.

Two very good songs.

[iankebr]

Absolutely stunning song! Such a sad song i think!

[sscrystal10]

This reminds me of the girl I loved

[KarenM526]

flaxtonboi, contrary to what some people think, it is pronounced "o - KASS- ick".

[StillStarling]

Still manages to make me all misty-eyed. So simple, and yet anything more would just over-complicate it.

Also makes such a lovely waltz.

[flaxtonboi]

can anyone tell me just how to pronounce ric's last name??? Is it like ,OKAYSIK or ,OSAYSIC??? PLease let me know...Thank you.

[MrWahid1969]

Thank u soo much for posting this song which I have not heard for ages. It brings back some wonderful memories of my teenage years. Brilliant Rick.

[babachewbaba]

Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears plays the guitar in this song. Definitly helped add some "magic" to Ric's beautiful song.

[decka71]

i would hold on to you until the stars no longer wink!!! thats what i think of my friends and family!! i would never let you down!!!

[decka71]

havent heard this song since the mid 80"s!!! what a song.....

[WildBill6942]

Too bad we don't have music like this anymore. The 80's were so much fun! Everything nowadays is all about bitches, weed and money. Creativity no longer exists in music.

[grugfds]

Encontrei finalmente!!!!

[cedjp14]

i heard that song in a movie

'confession of a shopaholic' it was nice!

[perpetual61]

My Absolute Favorite From Rick. He Should Be In The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.

[egrogshub]

Thank you so much for posting this.

I have not heard it in so long and now I found it.

"Emotion in Motion" brings back some wonderful memories of the 1980s for me.

I'm so happy to hear it again.

By far, my favorite Ric Ocasek/Cars song.

[1Sherilynn21]

Leave it to a company to start with a fricking commercial.

[sxlfkta]

Dude, what a sword fight that was! For Ric would've made this outstanding & highly dedicated member of the famed, fearsome & viscerally inspired Knights Templar (that deeply religious warrior sect, comprised of these die-hard fanatics, that emanated from Northern Europe back between the early 1100's till about 1300, & whose sole purpose, besides making loads of money, was to serve the Catholic Church & protect Christianity from all those smelly & crazed barbarian hordes!)! I'm so full of shit!

[Mromar2]

Great song miss the 80's Ric was great

[Seanogoals]

I remember first hearing thing song on a BBC2 Show called No Limits.

They used to play it weekely and I remember purchasing the album following this.Great song.

[perfectsilhouette]

The lyrics are beautiful and I love the video's theme. May be was it inspired by the movie "Legend" that came out around that time. It is also the only song I really like from that singer :)

[ChocoholiicMayte]

This is the opening to confessions of a shopaholic. its good x

[142060]

I never get tired of watching this. Thanks so much for posting.

[atlanticit]

what a beautiful song! Ric Ocasek is a great artist, great musician.....

[Mark2790]

oh man i havent heard this in AGES! Thanks!

[abbey9752]

great 80s memory.....

[mondeozetec4]

First heard this song on a programme here in england called no limits,recorded the video,and taped it.Only within the last year was i able to get the album this side of paradise,all good things come to those who are prepared to wait.Brilliant video and song.

[Vennegoor10]

No Limits was great, it let you hear a lot of great stuff that Radio 1 didn't play.

[redandwhitewelder]

omg i remember that show and when the played this tune nice one mate

[KarenM526]

Such a beautiful song in every way. Musically, it is layered with instruments that you can pick out one at a time. The background vocals are superb. Lyrically, it is exquisite and poignant.

It is simply genius. Goosebumps.

[anesthesiamtsa]

I would do anything....to hold on to you....

[bcstotz]

Absolutely beautiful song....i almost forgot this song until Confessions of a Shopaholic....video does not really match song thou....anyways great tune

[runtanito]

buen tema,buen video....

[motoxxx174]

I always loved this song back in the day.... glad I found it on here

[venkman1982]

legend lily's dress

[BolloDaBrute]

Ric is a little quirky, a little cool, and a lot of class.

[hardlines4]

A time when we had REAL music!!!

[timmhg]

I'm agree hardlines4, after this year, everything when down, to the crap music directly.

[142060]

And real TALENT as well !!!

[JaiBlueCave2]

Roland Orzabal plays the guitar here.

[AdautoMedeiros]

You are joking...really??? I knew it...I even felt like, Tears for Fears must have something to do with that. Gosh, I love that song and I love Tears for Fears. Wow. Thanks for letting us know that.

[JaiBlueCave2]

You welcome. I love TFF too.

Saludos from Argentina

[142060]

LOVE YOU RIC!!!

[gemini16th]

Beautiful solo hit from the Car's strange- looking lead singer. Wondering if he's still married to Paulina Porizkova- the Czech model who stared in the video's "You Might Think" & "Drive"-?

[whitewitch8]

Gave me goose bumps.... very sweet...thank you Ric.....

[mikser]

I love this video. Its got the requisite dwarf and love the way he sends the Head Jester's head flying at 2:41. Classic number this..

[lemonkooler]

Look how awkward Ric looks from 1:12 to 1:25 hahaha. I love this song and video so much :)

[aliciabrissou]

very sweet video

[enchut]

nice tune wanna use this as a ringtone...

[lemonkooler]

such a beautiful song. It has been so long since I heard it

[cubbystar]

I'd like to dedicate this to Orr....I love the Cars and this song means so much. Thank you guys...you really are the best...thank you. I can't even write right now... love yall.

[McRocket]

Thanks very much for posting this song.

[ginnysir]

Beautiful lyrics. the ultimate love song.

[marcass67]

ultimate 1986.good year for music.

[antonymoura2000]

OMG! This song takes me way back!!! 1987! Great!!! Great!!

[Isis06109711]

Q viagem .... música lindaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

tô sem palavras pra descrever.

[lopezd51756]

I forgot about this song until I heard it at the beginning of " Confessions of a Shopaholic". I recently seen the New Cars with lead man Todd Rundgren. Although Todd is awesomely talented, The Cars are not without Ric.

[hiddenblood]

Is this supposed to be like The Princess Bride?

[mjfbush]

It's supposed to be like the movie, "Legend"

[mikser]

Yes it does feel like the film Legend doesn't it? It has that same story like quality. Great to see the dwarf too, every good video should have one

[BarbarellaSJSU]

Videos just aren't made like this anymore. Videos used to have meaning and now they don't!

[Mr1funkylady]

Seduction personified - try making passionate love to your partner while listening to this .....brilliant. A classic all time love song xoxoxo

[9999sanchez]

I've layed a lot of pipe to this song. Sure gives me one hell of a teepee !!!!!!

[iluvmusic1480]

I agree i luv this song.. it's so so cool!!!!

[coolskater187]

it came out the same time as Tom Cruise LEGEND movie. This video cool little video has ten times the emotion and and better tune than that piece of shit fim!!! UNDERRATED SONG AND VIDEO!!!!!

[watchyourwifes]

this song mellows me out

[dkempf1]

This song has moved me for twenty years.

[Mr1funkylady]

"ditto'

[mario102395]

i'm sure this song was written about paulina. his wife

[BarbarellaSJSU]

Were they even together way back then?

[Franzapooch44]

This is such a beautiful song.

[egomezb]

I love this song

[dukmar22]

Ah ! the 80's...this is nice and timeless!

thx for posting!

But there's a great disturbance in the balance...

we need to multiply the views by, let's say 10000.

and divide the worthless jonas, vanessa or miley views by the same number.

problem fixed!

[SuperShnooky]

I would like to dedicate this song to my beautiful wife 'Benji'.

The memory of this song in the background while we were dancing our 'slow' in our wedding will remain forever.

I love you

[ovidiocatullo]

we all gladly join you in this beautiful thought.

Enjoy your love :-)

(from italy)

[blesspeacemaker]

you've got mail

[judithlizeth78]

Esta cancion es hermosa!! y me gusto más cuando supe que la guitarra la toco Roland Orzabal!! esuchenla, definitivamente tiene el feeling de Roland!

[sxlfkta]

If any foreign invaders ever threaten our shores, and evil barbarians assail and gather at the gates, don't ever worry because the ever gallant Ric Ocasek will save the day. For he will fight for YOUR rights, for YOUR honor & for YOUR sanity, or die trying in the process, no fears and no regrets. Yes, Ric will drive all those bloodthirsty ghouls & fascist cocks away, swinging his sword with this passion-inspired fury, cutting down all angry tyrants & commy psychos. For he's Emotion in Motion!

[blesspeacemaker]

how bout all my love by led zepplin love to the holy one of Israel will save the day

[SummertimesBlues]

Awesome Song!Touching,and Sweet.Thx for Posting!

[6804081468]

ottima melodia ,superba canzone. Quanti ricordi...

[joyceannpumpkin]

J loves R

[jjtopp99]

Just AWESOME!!!

[karaninakaramazov]

lol. it's a great song though.

[gostososheik]

oh my god man thats a fckin vagina 0.39!!!!!!!!!

[AcuraT]

For those wondering, on the album itself this #15 hit in the US was because on, "This Side of Paradise" a couple of songs were helped out by his current (at the time) Cars band members. In particular, the credits for this song show the following: Elliot Easton (Guitar), Greg Hawkes (Bass), Greg Hawkes (Keyboards), Greg Hawkes (Vocals (Background)), Benjamin Orr (Vocals (Background)). With that supporting cast, wouldn't you expect a Cars song? I would. Still, it is one of the band's best.

[spiralmetal]

Very beautiful song, and very beautiful vid as well. Glad I found this.

[Loupland]

isnt that female genitalia? :O

[bgkz25]

it does look like ey, what the...!!

[Loupland]

look at 0:39

[DJSouthernTech]

Heard this at the start of Confessions Of A Shopoholic, been looking for this song for about a day.Finally found it such a good song, havent heard it in a long time.

[CloSlayer]

Awesome song!

[thered41car]

i always liked this much much more than any cars' song. probably not alot of folks agree....but..

[y9kids]

I agree. This is the song of his, or the cars for that matter, that I have liked the most.

[thered41car]

you have excellent taste!!!!

[cadirector]

Love this song. Reached #15 in the charts but I don't rmember it getting alot of airplay. The Cars are one of my favorite all time bands.

[gemini16th]

Sounds like a great Cars tune instead of Ric solo- probally the bandmembers provided accompaint?

[kjnyankee]

I had forgotten about this song. Thanks for posting! The vid makes me think of The Last Unicorn or The Princess Bride. Ah, gotta love the 80's.

[barahona44]

Great song but it also reminds me of another similiar sounding song which I just can't put my finger on.

[hipsam33]

This song is AMAZING!!!! That's all, folks!!!

[gemini16th]

Ocasek is an original(& unusual) but "stud" is debatable. Model Paulina Porizkova married him- guess there's hope for everybody-lol.

[JimRichmond1]

Classic song, how things have changed nowadays from the 80's. Its terrible now. Excellent song. :o)

[itsjoshpplz]

anyone wanna tell me what :46 - :47 looks like

[pep794]

Get your mind out of the gutter. There is only room here for my mind. I noticed it right away.

[DallasHammster]

Hey, at least it's not as, uh, "graphic" as the spaceship collision scene in the Cars "You Are The Girl" video.  Oh, awesome songs both of them, by the way.

[camariva61]

You and your dirty mind, LOL!

[rdeco73]

Awesome song. This was in the opening credits and first scenesof the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic". Good movie btw.

[jcvelazquez]

This song is amazing and reminds me of High School.. The 80's were the best decade in music.. Rick Oscasek proves this! He's incredible as a solo artist, as well with the Cars..

[jtanga22]

What a great year this was! ( 1986 ) my life was so much better!! the fall of 1986 i was in the 10th grade!! I think of Sheri Korp!! She is still the greatest woman in the world!!! Great SONG!! Great times!! KING OF THE MIX 1986!!!|!||!

[fourcups123]

in 1986 , I was 24 years old going to about 4o Met games that year , otherwise this song rules deep within our hearts reminding us of better times then than now , lets go mets !!

[flightcentre]

It is such a beautiful song. It was in time in the 80's which was a gentle, peaceful, and exciting decade, unlike today wrought with strife, anger and selfishness.

[Shomer4]

yes the Reagan years, good times. This song is amazing!

[fourcups123]

This song will forever hit home in my heart , from our great past to the trouble times we all are suffereing in this global crisis -- Otherwise , I luv this song big time !!

[jtanga22]

You are s right about that!!! 80's were a lot less stressful!! I cant agree with you more!! Your so right!!

[spsgirlfri]

Does anyone know how I can download this - it does not come up on itunes

[lunamad39]

I remember seeing this for the first time on Aussie Telly back in '86. I loved it straight away.

Beautiful song.

[Bracchillone]

This song remind me that maybe one fine day a love potion could change her fellings...falling in love for me..just dreaming..

[indiohaa]

Esta cancion es una marivilla.

[NoDeuce]

I've always wondered why someone would label a love song from a man to a woman as "gay", but would most likely think of ultimate cage fighting with 2 men grappling as "manly."

[Toslick23]

ok spartacus18 if this song sucks so bad then why the fuck did you view it you half wit. go choke on your cum dickhead!!!

[Penosizer]

Wow, this is legend and princess bride mixed into a video.

[Spartacus18]

yer all fags, this song sucks :)

[s3kshun5]

YAY,a normal person

[johnsteerling]

Ya fag yourself!

[johnsteerling]

Steers and queers are from Texas, I guess some semen of your Daddy went right down in the crack of your mama's behind!

[gmf65]

steers & queers very original mate

[johnsteerling]

Steers & queers are from Texas, well I don't see the hornes !!!!!

[KKthecat02]

Too bad it's not played on the radio anymore. This is a great song, and a beautiful video. Any ideas about who directed it?

[jcvelazquez]

Actually I hear it all the time on XM Radio, especially the 80's station.. They replay the top 40 and I heard it on there about a month ago and I had the biggest flashback from High School.. What an amazing song and artist Rick is.. Have a good day...

[spektek9]

Excellent acousictical qualities spektral of mastery in excellence of superirority and Greatest rare song.

[EXPERT80s]

Great song and video ,really is like a fairy tales ,i like to see time after time ,very good !!!

[EXPERT80s]

Excelente tema y video ,realmente es como un cuento de hadas ,vale la pena verlo ciento de veces !!!

[yogafan6500]

Great classic from 1986. Ric Ocasek's first solo hit since the break-up of The Cars.

[DENo1MatchGameFan]

Actually, Ric was still a part of The Cars when this song was released - they broke up in 1988 after "Door To Door" was released, and their last top 40 hit was "You Are The Girl."

[munkypup]

This album ruled my Walkman in '86 and it just gets better through time.

[benderspicoli]

great song

[Ginkemorais2009]

as vezes quando estou muito Sensivel,

escuto essa Canção me debuliu em Lagrimas.....

[Ginkemorais2009]

Emotion in Motion.....you're emotion in motion my magical potion........

you're emotion in motion to me.

Simplesmente Linda..................

[dkempf1]

I still feel the love!

[TariusShinobi]

Oh yeah, a true Klassik..........

[chevchevmoimoi]

the greatest song EVER recorded

[TheDrawbridge]

Would really hate to wake up to see Ric Ocasek. Good song though.

[wspcougar1]

this is what love is about....great song

[wspcougar1]

i hold on to you......this is what love is about.

[wildboyspaniard]

Excellent Song! I love it! It´s very amazing.

[grastumpy4]

lovely song

[dkempf1]

This song is all love and faith!!!

[dkempf1]

Stand by what my comment was!

[dkempf1]

Pure love, this great song!

[lemonadapop]

They had something to write about...Now everything is emotionless...no more good songs.

[modsleix6]

One of the "kewlest" songs/videos ever made...

[modsleix6]

This is why the 80's rule... They just don't make damned cool music like this no more... This and Something to Grab For, are just a couple of gems from that decade which is a virtual treasure trove of gone-but-not-forgotten songs...

[trudymaygard]

I love this song!! Thank you for this :)

[vincentpaul24]

beautiful story - is she diabetic? Appears she is having a hypoglcemic event and there is glycerine in the vial.

[rockabillychickee]

watta awesome luv song

luv this!

[dkempf1]

True love and frienship.

[qrugfds]

Linda canção.

[1986Testarossa]

this is as good as "true love"..two beautifully amazing songs!

[dkempf1]

Love this song. It's all heart and love!!!

[Charlierosea]
