[The3374]

ben un poco de humor para que vos no estes triste te estoy armando una foto de cuerpo entera.... okasec no te pongas celoso ya va llegar tu turno judith

[ChannelBarlf]

Great song, and this is the first time I've heard it. Unfortunately it is the first time; but the first time of so many, for sure. RIP Ben Orr. Love, from Portugal

[hanamariana]

the lace claro , luego paso a the cars lo maximo si lo recuerdo

[nikisma]

Jingleburp, agree that later Cars became robotic and souless as RIc was allowed to dictate more of the production and dominate the songwriting. they lost the 'rock' and the emotionalism of the first 2 albums and personally it wasn't my taste. what i love about ben orr's solo work is that he brings the emotion back, and his vocals are refreshingly devoid of the mannerisms and affectations that he sometimes felt compelled to use when with The Cars.

[sherrypatriota]

Hi, would you please somebody write the complete lyrics of this song for me. thanks

[romck1]

prettiest man that ever breathed a breath of air......no doubt......RIP BEN...still love you.....

[flippyflyer]

Ric looks like Howard in this press pic...Glad he changed his "look"

[addict4musikk]

I Feel like flYing when I hear this on surrOUnD sound...Its Beautiful LOuD!

[zemkam1951]

I don't think thiswas a follow up to "The Lace'! Milkwood was formed before the Cars!

[stevepwnz]

@zemkam1951 The milkwood picture is just a random one somebody used . Hopefully this will be released on CD one day , it was recorded sometime in the mid 90s .

[MyAccount4TrollingU]

FUCK ISLAM

[FloresinLA]

@MyAccount4TrollingU Peace be with you!

[sstrat94]

WOW...........................­............

[FloresinLA]

How amazing that as Ben got older his voice matured in an amazing and beautiful range. In this song we hear the tonality of sadness and emotion in his deep voice. This song makes me wish he was here still singing and often wonder what he would sound like if he was still alive. Peace be with you Ben.

[angel11458]

@FloresinLA I couldn't have put it any better.

[FloresinLA]

@angel11458 Thank you my friend. I know we all miss him and know he in a better place.

[luminosa98]

@FloresinLA Awesome post, FloresinLA! You are right on target, and I feel the same way.

[addict4musikk]

WOW! I have to hear a dose of this EVERYday now! Thanks and SPECIAL Thanks to BEN for soothing my SOUL! The lyrics are what I needed to hear! He will not be forgotten. I cant get enough of this song and I CRAVE it!

[jingleburp]

You do too – you just don’t want to admit it because you’d rather try to prevail in your argument…but your heart knows it…go back and listen.

My last 2 posts and this one are meant to be read in succession.

[jingleburp]

Virtually every song on every album after Panorama became mechanical, precise, contrived, and synthed-out, completely losing the feel, passion and desire that they obviously had and brilliantly displayed in their first 2 albums. Sure some later songs were decent but NOTHING came close to matching the raw awesomeness of the first 2 albums...and 9 out of 10 Cars fans will agree with me.

[jrlv62]

@jingleburp

I DONT agree with you.....

[JesusFreakJene]

@jingleburp I DONT agree with you, EITHER!

You obviously don't know good music when you hear it. So sad for you.

The Cars WILL be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame......The End

[jingleburp]

Excuse me @elprado1963 but Ric lost the touch immediately after the Candy-O album. He tried to get futuristic with Panorama, and then adopted a sugar-pop formula of pure B.S. thereafter (verse - chorus - verse - chorus - instrumental break - chorus - chorus - Done. All in a 4/4 rhythm and virtually identical rhyme scheme - each and every song like a bad sit-com where there is stale predictable dialog interspersed with canned laughter every 3-5 seconds).

[mlts53]

@oohugotme Thank you for the info. Went to the page and the links don't work. Sent an email to the person who had the web page. Thank you again. :)

[kanand00]

Great voice

[gredesandman]

what would it take a person to have these wonderful songs... tell youwhat... this aint no vinyl you got as well... something does not add up here.. i have looked for this sont EVERYWHERE and cant find it... if your the only one who has it, why have you not been fucked the the big wigs for releasing it? and if this is pre cars... this is way to advanced for the 70's... the rest of the music onthe album is passable... but this is way to advanced... WTF man.. lets hear the truth... RIP BEN

[mlts53]

Tell me where to get this song. I have searched everywhere and can't find it. Would love to have the song. I have the album "The Lace" but this is not on it. :(

[oohugotme]

@mlts53 visit carsunreleased . com that's where slance1 downloaded all these songs. but i think it's down because people (like slance1) downloaded but never contributed $ to keep the site up.

[jingleburp]

I just heard the Cars new album, then did a search on Ben and found this and a bunch of other songs he did that were never released. The Cars are infinitely less of a band without Ben...it's painfully obvious on their new Album "Move Like This". Ric should have let Ben write some of the songs while he was still alive. It would have provided a fresh dynamic and direction that is sorely lacking in the Cars last 4 albums, including this new album. Thanks so much for posting these wonderful songs!!

[sjacquelin5610]

@jingleburp I agree...unfortunately it seems there was a bit of jealousy going on...Ric had negative things to say about all the guys except Greg...too bad he didn't realize the Cars were a group of four guys who each contributed to the sound. Now that Benny is gone, Ric seems to realize what a great group of guys the old band was...the Cars today are not as good without Ben...never will be.

[elprado1963]

@jingleburp Sorely lacking in the last "4" albums ????? The last 3 CARS albums before this last one were fantastic so ur statement holds no weight. And, Ben Orr provided lead vocals on those 3 albums and there is absolutely "NOTHING" wrong with Ric's lyrics, he is a songwriting genius. I do agree that they are not the same w/out Ben but what do you want them to do, he passed away 10 years ago and showed respect by not replacing him with anyone..

[BabsTen]

I miss Ben :(

[kusong]

@BabsTen  我很好奇你是哪國人 竟像我一樣如此迷戀死去十年的班

[BabsTen]

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY I LOVE YOU!

[ixtaxiomara]

@sidafree88 Please, what does religion have to do with Ben's legacy? Don't you think that the world is complicated enough? Can you accept a gift regardless of the religion of the giver? Ben Orr was a grate human being first and then a grate singer and musician.

[sidafree88]

@ixtaxiomara take easy GOD BLESS YOU !

[sidafree88]

@BabsTen My English isn't very good, please don't mind. i am kuson . i love ben

[madamgmail]

Interesting look of Rick Ocasek on the right...who is the guy in the middle? RIP Ben, we all miss you...

[BenjaminOrrLegacy]

@madamgmail The fellow in the middle is now known as Jason Goodkind.

[madamgmail]

@BenjaminOrrLegacy : thank you!

[fridaynitefrights]

A true music legend that will never be forgotten.I had a chance to finally see The Cars on their last tour and you could see that at that point nobody liked to share the same spotlight.When Rick sang Ben was almost off stage in the dark playing the guitar,as the same when Ben took the mike,Rick was almost off stage.They played great and I consider myself lucky to have seen him in person rather than see it on video.I miss his music,his style,he had it going on!R.I.P. Ben

[janosudden]

this is one of the few original CDs of music that I buy it

[stevepwnz]

this fuckin' stuns me that this song is rotting away in some music vault somewhere.

[susannahque]

What a beautiful song and vocal, The arrangement is so melodic and touching.

As a longtime Cars fan from the old Boston days, I was always amazed at

the versatility of the band, and especially Benjamin's vocal range and

his style Rest in peace

[kusong]

hope to see you in heaven some day

[janosudden]

one of best of ben orr with the lace,stay the night,this time around.

[victorwasright]

don henley could have had a hit with this...same musical vein.

[tacomadc]

Great song - that would be great if they could release all these songs with a definition "Lace' reissue, as bonus tracks.

[focs71]

It's almost as beautiful as "Drive"!

[budyyr]

I'm amazed this was never officially released, such a great song.

[janosudden]

singles songs are best than cars songs for me

this have melodies .!

[SUZI1990ful]

Beautiful melody, deep, haunting lyrics..Ben, we miss you.

[240ups]

sorry but this doesn't sound like this version would have been on the Milkwood album 73'

3'. The production and most notably the lone snare drum beat sounds at least a decade later in time. I believe that maybe an earlier version can exsist but not with this 80's sound production. I would be astounded if it was, but the rest of the album is very much CSN 70's in sound.

[keeshope1]

This is the first time I've heard this song, beautiful song, by the gorgeous Mr Orr, thanks to the person who put this up. :)

[elprado1963]

Anyone know where I can get this song from or download it to put into my Music Library. Thank you,...

[elprado1963]

Slance, a million thanks for posting this song. I have always been a huge "Cars" fan but only recently searched and listened to Benjamin Orr's other songs. This is as good as it gets. His voice is son moving, angelic and powerful that I feel a huge sense of loss because he is no longer with us. Great powerful stuff....

[ArnicaLader]

...ten utwór działa bardzo kojąco na mój umysł...dziękuję BEN

[northernlitez1]

BEAUTIFUL-what else can be said except Thanx again Slance

[drnrg31]

Thanks for posting this. I always wondered what Milkwood sounded like. very Drive like. Ric looks so young.

[STKpc]

freecorder works pretty good.

[Marinerman1979]

where the heck can I get this song?

[Slance1Himself]

@Marinerman1979 you can send me your e-mail adress in a private message and ill send you the song :)

[marvindanielpaz9]

I can say that I find this song hard

[ArnicaLader]

!*BEN*!...You are always on my heart and mind.

[TheMario89574]

slance1 where you download this songs and can you tell me a web site where did you download all this song. thanks

[ArnicaLader]

Cudowne...

[hirskdubbi]

Sweet,thanks for posting it

[ladybluluv]

Yeah, Ben and Stevie Ray will both be there. My 2 favorites. Hope to see them both. Kisses and hugs going out to both of them.

[gredesandman]

Salee320.... lol earn the right to go to heaven, and yeah you will see him jamming with Stevie Ray Vaughan

[kelosker]

we miss you so...

[katie180574]

Ben Ben...do you know what if feels like without you?

[ladybluluv]

i cry when i hear this song

[djgettys]

Slance1,

Thanks for posting. I am glad I got to hear this amazing song. Without you 16,149 people would have missed this opportunity!

[Slance1Himself]

@djgettys I guess so, thanks for your comment! :)

[ladybluluv]

brings back memories of when I had a huge crush on Ben and would do anything to meet the guy and all you know, and actually did some crazy things to try to. I finally met him once in Boston in a kind of unlikely way. I'll never forget.

[Gravelandart]

Ladyblue====where was this song released and what year is it from?

[ladybluluv]

@Gravelandart It was never released. It was for a follow up to his solo album 'The Lace'. Don't know what year, I'm guessing it was recorded sometime in the 90's?

[caraphyllis]

sweet song, sad to hear

[keflavik1]

WOW .. what a nice song and voice!!! I heard this song from the first time yesterday...I had no idea, that he also was the singer in The Cars besides Ric Ocasek...But when I wanted to see the video "Drive" ..I got surpriced and had to check up the history of the band.....I must say..two diffrent men who made The Cars complete.....R.I.P Ben Orr

[salee320]

if I saw someone walking around with that face of his in the picture I think I couldn't help myself and would walk up and kiss him...on the lips...and hope for more...

[uhjigali]

I look exactly like him!

[salee320]

oh yeah? when and where can we meet...and then she lays down the ol' lol......pshoooaaar

[Noisecian]

Hi ! I'm an italian fan of The cars, and, of course, of Benjamin Orr !! I wanna really thank you for have posted these rarity... Can I ask a question? Do you know the year when he recorded these songs? However, thanks again for sharing wonderful songs of Ben... God bless you!

[Noisecian]

Sorry, I wrote the question in a wrong place.

I mean the songs of the follow-up to The Lace...

[salee320]

this song was never released, and I think he recorded it around 1994/95 (more than 20 years after you think it was)...

[AllMixedUp312]

Ben sounds great in this song!

And the solo is haunting (in a good way)....

[yllaconza23]

Truly, it is to cry, excellent song, ben orr rules, forever in my hearth and all, all all,all, all their fans, thanks ben

[spacewalk001]

God I miss Ben. What a legacy. Rhino SO needs to get on releasing this material. I wonder who has control of his estate, i.e. whom needs have a conversation about a retrospective compilation?

R.I.P. Ben. Thanks for making me cry when I hear you now.

[hectorsalinasisback]

@spacewalk001 An option would be to get in touch with someone related to Ben and pose as a businessman interested in releasing a new compilation or box set called "The Ben Orr Experience." I know that he has a son named Benjamin Orr. His son might know who inherited the unreleased master recordings, or at least be able to steer us in the right direction. You have to be confident and creative, otherwise nobody will take you seriously and nothing will be done to release this fantastic music.

[BenjaminOrrLegacy]

@spacewalk001 Rhino had no plans a few years ago or anytime in the imediate future to release the material...This is what they told us.

[whitewitch8]

makes me want to pop the c.d. in the car & drive forever..... just keep going

[teknokrat1]

@whitewitch8 well, at least for 4 minutes. after that it would get kinda awkward in the silence.

[kccolicchie]

Great song. His eyes stare right through you, like he's here.

[LuvUBenjamin4ever]

Slance, thanks for another fantastic song. Listening to it has brought tears to my eyes. It is such a wonderful reminder of what an amazing voice Benjamin had. He may be gone from this earth, but he will live on through his music and the music of the The Cars. There will never be another Benjamin Orr.

[exitoyfama]

GREAT BEN ORR !!!!!!!! THE BEST!

[DRNO777]

Slance, again you post rare, great quality, footage of many of our favorites band and musicians. Please keep it up. We appreciate your dedication to these rock geniuses. Thank You seems not to be enough.

[magicalmerk]

very cool share, thanks!

[damnyankeefl]

OMG. I just bought the lace on cd. Finally hearing it again after all these years. What a phenomenal piece of work this is.

They should have done a deluxe edition of the lace and included some of the other stuff he did , like this, that we never heard. WOW. What a genius.

[cocoabononohead]

Is that Ric Ocasek with the mustache in this photo?

[Slance1Himself]

I believe so lol

[bknyspirit]

Thank you Slance1. I love you!

[poprn68]

The best Ben Orr song and a lost gem.

[eamon54]

This is a truly sensational song. I believe as good as Drive.

A very sad and melancholic song considering Ben has left us. I am enjoying all the unpublished Ben Orr music that I would never have got to hear if it wasn't for Slance and You Tube.

Thank you very much for this.

[jimmo42]

Wow!!!

[dege124]

where can i get my hands on the milkwood cd (album ) and also this lost track....or maybe even tracks. this man had such a great voice and Ric knew it.

[yuffenough]

I don't know, I'd like Slance1 to tell us where he get's all of this golden cars material :)

[dylan26m]

I once saw a cd of his 'lost songs' (as the seller called them) on ebay many months ago with samples, but lost the bid and then it never came on again. I figured the seller was going to be repeat listing it but no, he/she only did one as I was searching ben orr frequently at that time and the months before. Anyway found them here to listen to. Thanks a lot Slance. You are not breaking the law, you are sharing some unreleased songs that float around with a wider audience. Ben would appreciate it

[textentim]

What a song! This is evidence of record company stupidity. I will take a dive and say that without Ric Orr the Cars are diminished to an also ran pop outfit. Sure they would have had hits.....Even Mutt Lange has commented on his sense of melody....and that voice. I believe in God, but do wonder at times why such a sensitive and talented soul was taken so soon. I would love to know how to get the rights to release this. If anyone has a clue let me know. Much has changed in the age of intrnet

[cheffy84]

Absoultely stellar track. Ben always knew how to capture real life through song,

[BenORicO]

Thanks so much!

[BenORicO]

I love this song. I wish we could talk Rhino records in to releasing this last album. Thanks so much for putting these songs on here Slance1. Do you have any Milkwood tunes you could post as well?

[Slance1Himself]

Yeah, I could I guess, but wait a lil bit, my editing software ain't working well :C

[davi331]

Ric's mustache - areal different look.

[Slance1Himself]

yup ;)

[delpoz12]

Dear YouTube friends: Mr. Orr was a genius. Unfortunately, God only knows why people come and go. I will never agree with God's design. I am not a catholic. I believe some alien (God's envoy) made earth and men. It seems for God life has no meaning.Some are born, some die,so easily,so sadly. Ok, let's forget it!

(PEOPLE PLEASE STOP KILLING ANIMALS!STOP EATING MEAT!STOP WEARING FUR/LEATHER!thankyouAdemar)

[Slance1Himself]

Sorry, but I do that and proudly!

[bobmango54]

meat tastes so good and you need it to stay healthy

[Jantelover]

many thanks for this.. great to hear it

[juancoro]

slance - thanks for posting this songs ,i always wonder why this second album never came out. it is wonderfull. is there any more songs from this second album .and how did you found this songs ? best regards

[Slance1]

I'd rather be silent about how I found them, and no - I've posted everything :)

[whitewitch8]

I won't ask how you found all of these.... just so glad you did... and kind enough to share.... :)

[juancoro]

slance 1. can you please, please, post more benjamin orr unreleased music.thanks best regards

[aphill77]

This is post cars. Milkwood was pre cars and was actually a folk album. There are several Ben Orr songs that deserve to be released

[Slance1TheComedian]

Uh... I know that :) Same with Cap N' Swing :) Though this is not Milkwood.

[aphill77]

Yes, but the picture is of Milkwood

[Slance1TheComedian]

I know :) I posted it cuz Ben's in it :)

[clarence99]

what is the origin of this song. is this after the cars?

[Slance1TheComedian]

Yes it is, it's maybe from 1986 or it's from the 90's

[Ihateprovos]

A British fan of The Cars through my dad and only recently found out Orr had died. Will never confess to be the greatest cars supporter but I remember enough of good music to remember his awesome yellow shades while singing Drive at Live Aid 1985

[Slance1TheComedian]

I dunno man, I didn't really like those, I dig Ric's shades... Though the thing I'll always remember about Ben is his AWESOME looks(better than even Ric's!) from 1978-1979!

[steveunn]

What a gorgeous song. Took my breath away this morning. Miss ya Ben!

[Panorama1981]

I liked 4 songs from The Lace but I like this song more than any of those.

[frankzito1]

This is the best song ever. Its perfect, and I never knew it existed. ;-)

[Slance1TheComedian]

Hmm, interesting... :)

[Slance1TheComedian]

Cool

[frankzito1]

Slance? Your the man! Thanks

[mirage142day]

It really is a treasure that you brought these

songs to all of us. They really show just how

much Ben Orr had matured as a solo artist.

These songs are so richly textured, and his

voice was at the peak of perfection. It is

too bad the tracks never got a chance to reach

all of his fans. But thanks to you, we at

least have the ability to listen to them.

Thank you for that.

[salee320]

Slance - I have been so wanting the world to hear these songs for they are the gorgeous, inimitable, honey-voiced Ben at his best. And he was just getting started and really coming into the 2nd phase of his career, I'm sure, when the random, senseless universe interceded. Don't answer your phone, I think its Ben's estate calling!

[zxlr8r]

good missing ben orr tracks..great voice..

[Slance1TheComedian]

You type like you're speechless lol
