  • Very nice song and the lyrics is so deep. I love it...

  • helped me get over the hardest night of my life ;)

  • This song was one of the most important at that time ="), now we have full s°°° oh well; everytime I listen to this song remind me of my x, oh well , G`bye.

  • Love this! <3

  • A fantastic track and I love The Cars, but his is my favourite one of theirs. I can remember it being used for Live Aid in 1985.

  • Oh how I love this song. There is so much deep feelings and emotions in this song touching on real life issues. You know it is funny how when I was a young teen listening to this song, I didnt understand the signifigance of this song. I really thought he was asking her who was going to drive her home tonight. lol Oh that innocent mind that we all had in our youth but now we can see the bigger picture when it comes to the messages put forth in these songs. The Cars are awesome 80's icons! :-)

  • classic

  • i love it how they are all stuck in time, can't go on thinking nothing is wrong.......

  • Its hard to imagine the CARS without this man behind the wheel at times all them years ago. With Benjamin Orzechowski as my favorite I will back him up whenever I get the chance

  • Quanti ricordi...

  • bellissimo ascoltarla ad occhi chiusi...

  • RIP Jace... our friends used to laff at us for loving this.. but you and I know the laff was on them

  • touches my soul <3 

  • amazing song

  • our supermodel Paulina Porizkova from Czech Republic, yeah!!

  • @Praha183 there are hot in cz actually

  • I remember this song when I was a kid , probably the first time Ive heard it since then :)

  • 25 people didnt get driven home.

  • @TheRaunchyTofu Actually, 26 people don't like that the cars turned into an easy listening band.

  • The backing vocals remind me of 10CC's "I'm Not in Love."

  • I played this when a friend of mine committed suicide back in 2007. He was obviously more troubled than any of us knew, including his roommate at the time. Miss ya Bradley!

  • Ben Orr

    Beautiful

    -JD

  • ....yeah i agree this song is Awesome.....

  • slow sets ,the 1980s good memories

  • BEAUTIFUL

  • So..who else came here from the Deftones cover?

  • classic 80's soft rock !

  • Hear this every day at work, but it sounds better here

  • I preferred Paulina in the Sports Illustrated issues. This is a great song though.

  • CAPOLAVORO ASSOLUTO

  • masterpiece.....

  • Im 23, but I hope my mother played this when I was in the womb #powerballadheaven.

  • may Benjamin Orr rest in peace and I hope he will never be forgotten but it seems when i bring up his name i get a blank stare to often..great memories

  • The sober one is the answer to all of these questions.

  • i was in l.a. in '84 when this came out...just came out of an intense relationship...this song haunted me!

  • beeeeeest of the best.......:)))))

  • The song is so beautiful and strong .... I get tears in my eyes :-))

  • Grew up with The Cars in the seventies and eighties in my teens and tweenties. Now approaching my late forties and two marriages later I see with amazing clarity.

  • When this video came on MTV for the first time...I didn't care if she was crazy...I wanted to save her, marry her, and love her forever.

  • What a beautiful song! I grew up in Hip Hop & R&B but I Love this!

  • love........................

  • Yes, this is one of the songs that were written by the outcasts in the 80's.

    They were so different in every way. The album "Drive" was incredible and this Love song on it was ..........well you all have said.

    Yeah, it is one of my favorites, and I listen to it often.

    What memories.

  • I was driving late at night on the Pacific Highway in Santa Monica, california when I heard this beautiful song back in 1983. It is so nice to hear it again and again

  • drop that in the casette player for a late night drive tunes with the girlfriend on fridays.......

  • Monstrous!!!

    

  • Remember me to GTA Vice City

  • I LOVE IIITTTT

  • escalofríos. 

  • Epic!

  • I love you!

  • Absolutely brilliant.

  • This video was directed by Oscar winner Timothy Hutton who was only 24 at the time he directed this video.

  • @thegoosebrain really? wow Timothy Hutton, the very same actor?

  • @czumelzu Yes, Timothy Hutton, the same actor.

  • Comment removed

  • love song....i love so much

  • shivers down my spine, so dear memories coming back :'(

  • Paulina Porizkova you don't have to comment

  • Love this; love this; love this; a masterpiece that should belong to makind's History for Ages to come. Ben Orr: a musical genious that should be considered as one of the greatest of its time. Golden voice that embraces you, makes you feel sad but thoughtful, sapient, conscious: it reaches your heart and sould, as music should always be. Thank you Benjamin, I salute you until the day I'll die.

  • @ChannelBarlf Well said. Nothing to add.

  • @ChannelBarlf Ric Ocasek is the true genius. Orr is just a vocalist. Ric wrote the majority of their music including this one. Ric's voice was what defined The Cars.

  • @CainmosniMirrored I think he wrote all of their songs. Orr had a better voice though which Ocasek freely admitted but Ocasek was the driving force behind The Cars.

  • @tryithere Ocasek's voice has more character than Orr's

  • @CainmosniMirrored They were both pretty much the same length of character, you dont know all the CARS songs then

  • @CainmosniMirrored So does Rosanne Barr's, it doesn't make it better.

  • @CainmosniMirrored All of the guys contributed to their songs, they said it in the interview. Also alot of their success had to do with Benjamin Orr. David Robinson was the brains of the band  and they never were an easy listening band either or soft rock or pop

  • @ChannelBarlf so agree.

  • The 80's rocked .......................

  • I've had this damn song stuck in my head today for some reason.

  • It is one of the better songs...and MTV cut it short when Phil Collins landed at Live Aid...and I was like, "Just let us hear this song by the Cars". It wasn`t Phil`s fault...but MTV sure dropped the ball that day. It is an intense song...and only Benjamin Orr could sing it and make ya feel it.

  • buena melodia clasica de los 80`s ya ahora no hacen cosas como estas! Definitivamente los 80`s fueron inolvidables

  • This song have a lot of memories back in the Philippines where my husband and I met! Every time he hear it on the radio he would turn it up really loud and if I am not with him he would call me on the phone so we both can listen to it!

  • @rosedarling1 .......No doubt...I love PI...The best people ever... I lived there 1981-82

  • ESTE TEMA LO CONOCI EN REÑACA ALLA POR LOS 80/84....LO PASABA RADIO INFINITA...QUE INCREIBLE CANTIDAD DE EXCELENTE MUSICA !!!!..IGUAL QUE AHORA!! SNIF!!

  • I got brought up by this music because of my dad. I actually think music like this is emotionally better than the songs you hear nowadays - some of them I can't even believe end up reaching the charts, let alone get into the top 10... But music like this, will be timeless - so don't worry :P

  • Sigh

  • To be honest, many things (childhood, adult radio, VH1, etc.) brought me here but it was the music alone that kept me here. The video is just a supplement to the song.

  • 50s 60s 70s 80s dont know what happend to the 90s wiht the od acception or 00s hope the tens turn out better but i dought it.

  • 80s songs are simply the best and their videos too.

  • Royal song

  • 80z

  • 22 people will be forced to hitchhike.

  • I traded my wife for this CD...It was a good trade.

  • @ramon19141 LMBO surely she wasn't that bad was she ???

  • @Mr7271990 No... but the Cars were that good!

  • @ramon19141 thought about it, and i want my cd back:)

  • great love song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is soooo perfect sad/happy ;O)

    maybe a perfert love song??

  • @MrBluebanjo It's called melancholy. Thoughtful and sad

  • i've been coming here by various reasons.

  • great song!

  • Bostons own and very proud and god do miss this band this is what you called Music 22 people on here can not drive for crap

  • Got two timed by a girl and then dumped on my 21st. Met her on a bus 7 years later. She had a couple kids and told me she was divorced. Asked where I was going with the backpack. I said "New York for a couple days", which I was. It was quite satisfying. Someone put her on that bus as I was travelling to the airport, I am sure! :0

  • Music at it's finest. Close your eyes, rock, and live. sc

  • Thom Yorke, can you and Radiohead just do one cover for me? Thanks.

  • this video brings chills and goose bumps to me!

  • the main singer of this video is sadly dead. paulina porizkova is the cars lead singer's wife, and has been for many years!

  • Appreciation of good music bought me here, the 80's and early 90's rocked, brilliant songs and singers before auto tune gave everyone a voice.

  • Great song, 80's rocks

  • Absolutely marvelous, the imaginative & well conceived video clip enhances the effect.

  • Bring back all those memory in the 80's

  • I can smell the 80s watching this.

  • I love the comment from the person who puts down the video.

    

  • Truly, like most of the real songs which were created in the 70's and 80's.

    When your listening, your thinking.

  • back to the past... 

  • What a great song...

  • this song sure brings back memories from the good old days.

  • horrible video for an incredible song :/

  • @lestermatias I agree...the only thing to loke here is Paulina Poritskova

  • Somewhere in southern California there is a warehouse full of 1980's video props.

  • The best song ever. I always feel sad when I listen to this song. Thanks for sharing it.

  • STRaight uP *8o's MosT@..!! :)

  • @TheGap1952 I remember megan fox's mini-skirt :)

  • @TheGap1952 i wish i could give this as many thumbs up as possible lol, genius

  • I am in love with this song...

  • @nrhall07 Me too friend

  • Love this song. The popular music of the 80's does not get enough credit for being irresistible, even emotionally deep at times.

  • @Deanthesecond I couldn't agree more the eighties does not get enough credit for having some of the most beautiful love songs ever written.

  • @Deanthesecond I agree! However there was so much commercial shit around, the good bands died.

  • @Deanthesecond I agree 100%. You could not have said it better

  • Whatt the fuck??

  • 666 ???

  • I LOVE this song are the best!

  • Gorgeous song. Now compare THIS to what is blasting out of most people's cars (no pun intended)...how can ANYONE not enjoy this so much more than even the best rap or hip hop or whatever the heck you want to call it? What a concept...a person SINGING thoughtful, well penned lyrics, to well crafted MUSIC (not looped, not repetitively boring, no filthy lyrics, not hatin' on women; no obscenities).

  • Great, great song.
