The Cars (Rick Ocasek) - Emotion In Motion

[MuffettG100]

Really cool background for this song.

[GreenBeardsRevenge]

color magic and emotion and cadence...This was the 80s!

The media doesn't want the public to have these anymore. Just drab, soulless, monotone crap. Easier way for them to control the population.

Bring the 80s music back! Bring back the 60s music! Bring back the soul and inner life!

[snieni]

So sweet...thank you so much!!!

[TooFondOfWar]

I first heard this song on a school bus in... 1986... I think it was - on an excursion. I'd fallen for a girl called Peta, and at the time this song immediately encapsulated my feelings for her. Seems a bit over the top now given that I was only a teenager and love has since become so much more complex (and rare). But at the time it seemed so serious, and real. Thanks for the memories... Cheers.

[3soccerstars]

Show it live.

His best days were with The Cars- easily.

YT that live 1979 treasure trove.

[SuperTallulah]

Great video. Thank you for sharing

[lochwharral]

1986?

[margaret30575]

I always loved this video

[LMCaballero]

me quedare contigo:

hasta que las estrellas dejen de brillar

hasta que las montañas se derrumben

o hasta que ya no quieras permanecer aqui...

[sxlfkta]

Yes, there is a certain, undeniable Beauty & Magic to this song that is just timeless, & evocative! For it definitely awakens many Great & Wonderful memories, feelings & sensations that just come flooding right back in this very soothing, feel good manner, as I feel overwhelmed with these vibrant, irresistible euphoric highs! Man I feel Great, pure & enraptured! Any ways, isn't Ric quite the ferocious swordsman!

[perpetual61]

This Beautiful Song is from Ric's 1986 This Side of Paradise Album. I Remember that Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears Played Guitar on this. Many Thanks for Posting.

[ELCANALFRUTAL]

[republicansrule]

Great song Remember this On MTV! Martha Quinn!

[lulucita09]

Romantic a lot, i love it.

[egrogshub]

Such a beautiful song.

It brings back incredible memories.

Thank you so much for posting this video.

I really appreciate it.

[SWEETSWEETDI]

ty rich for the the hint to hear this song lov it and lov u ....di

[U2isROCK]

it's almost like songs like this shouldn't be heard today, because they're so pure and 80ish like, today's 'people' just can't relate at all to them, after the 80s, everything went to shit, there still was in the 90s and still is today good things 'creeping up' outta nowhere, but by and large its piles of s h i t, let me laugh some real hard at american idol, hahaha, today's world can't even 'touch' the 80s music and movies, and 70s etc. on back,today all they do is try to reinvent the wheel

[rocklizard1969]

I get it. I'm dealing with children now. I won't say that this new music is crap (I am not my father). I like a lot of the new stuff but the 80's had a certain edgy quality. I hope to see it again. Not a chance though. Music evolves we must as well.

[hocaheiner1]

Da video is perfectly made kitsch.Archaic symbols and pictures out of da dark times o mankind. Da video and da plot da song itself initiates in da mind is da same kind o stuff..

[Journey432]

This is a pretty cool song but the video is a wigout. I consider any person who heard this song lucky if they NEVER saw the video.

[nobodybutme1000]

initially ocasek's voice grated on me (compared to some of the other legendary singers during the late 70's/early 80's like sting, steve perry, lou gramm) but i've since learned to appreciate it....nice song

[emblby]

when i was in 6th grade, sick in bed with dad taking care of me, he stepped out to do a couple of errands and brought back this single - a 45. not the sort of thing he usually did, it was so sweet!

[kirbygene]

what a nice comment!

[EjGerbino]

Vancouver, BC area is so nice! I'm a Leafs fan but admit that i loved residing (Oregon/Washington) up in Canuck country. I miss it there so much. The NW is the most beautiful part of North America, and thats with a lot of competition from many other nice areas. As for this beautiful song, it just goes to prove how equally talented and such a good fit all of The Cars were for each other. Their talent and resumes speak for themselves. Kudos!

[hocaheiner1]

[hocaheiner1]

Salmon fishing is not all. Come to Germany and fish da hearts.There s sothing deep in ya stuff, ever lastgreen. !' ve god I D s 4 dat.

[hocaheiner1]

[hocaheiner1]

Che bello

[Elmab82]

Obrigado por vc vc existir epassar essa emoção maravilhosa!

[Elmab82]

Que emoção enorme falar do Rick(The Cars) adoro esse cara é único roqueiro, romÂntico maravilhoso pai e marido 1000. FOREVER,o nome da músicajá diz tudo.

[KarmicOmen]

This song is so amazingly beautiful.

Being a native of Massachusetts -- born and raised just a few towns north of where David Robinson is from ( Woburn; where I worked for 7 years until 2008), I'm so proud to call The Cars "one of our own". I loved them the day they pulled up, and treasure them now like a fine classic! The Cars are different a genre than Aerosmith and Boston, also "townies", but The Cars, without a doubt, are the same echelon, and are just as loved here at home and all over!

[kingofallwhites]

This is pretty lame.

[EjGerbino]

Happy Holidays Ric! Hope you had a very nice holiday season thus far and hope it continues throughout the new year to come... You're a true sweetie and i never get tired of hearing your wonderful voice, especially in this lovely tune. You and the your Cars bandmates helped to bring me the most amazing childhood memories through your music. That was a while back LoL and today is a new day, but the memories persist so eloquently and elegantly. Thank you so much. Cheers dear friend! xoxo EjGerbino.

[sxlfkta]

Mr. Gerbino, Ric Ocasek sends his best! He was so moved, & so deeply touched by your heartfelt words, amazing eloquence & by your unrivalled capacity to inspire & to convey your deepest emotions! It was quite the tear-jerker!!! For after reading those lovely & poignant comments that you just wrote Ric was overcome with so much joy & elation that he started to cry, as he went through three boxes of tissues! Can you imagine that? Mr. Gerbino, you're Emotion in motion! Ric just adores YOU!!!

[willc2k]

LOL!!!!

[blader45bc]

Ahhh. Just heard this for the first time in decades while driving home from Comox. Beautiful song. Nice video.

[94cadillacfleetwood]

@blader45bc

Comox? as in Cam Neely's hometown? See the Boston connection-his first season in Beantown coincides with this song dropping (86-87)...just found that cool that's all!

BTW Vancouver Island is beautiful...would love to go back sometime!

[blader45bc]

@94cadillacfleetwood

Yes, it is beautiful here. Nice to hear this song again.

Wrong about Neely (why, oh God, did the Canucks trade him?) He's a Maple Ridge boy like baseball's Larry Walker and racing's late Greg Moore. Sporty little town just outside Vancouver.

Comox is where Pam Anderson grew up (and I use the term loosely).

I'm just north in the birthplace of Barry Pepper, Campbell River, and I'm not anybody special. You're welcome to visit, I'll take you salmon fishing.

[blader45bc]

Ooops. You're right. Neely was born in Comox. On a different note, I was sad to see Benjamin Orr, who sang lead in Drive and Let's Go with The Cars had died almost ten years ago.

[94cadillacfleetwood]

He also did the lead vocals on Just What I Needed, too...good bass player to boot! I think it was around September 2000-cancer got him.

[ComoKate2010]

No! Ric is still **very much ALIVE**. That was Ben Orr that died of pancreatic cancer; the *other* singer in the Cars.

[94cadillacfleetwood]

We were talking about Ben Orr...

[Sleaven]

I love this video, I don't get all the hate for it. I used to watch it on one of my dads laserdiscs all the time.

[jayemm49]

chelligan said exactly what I wanted to say.....I'd just about forgotten this tune until watching Confessions of a Shopaholic - LOVE this song!

[chelligan]

Of course the video is ridiculous---after all it WAS the 80's. I heard this song on Confessions of a Shopaholic and couldnt place it. I knew I heard it and loved it....but what was it called!?!?! Augh! The Cars are awesome. <3

[avonrangemaster]

I often laugh at the little dwarf as Rick rides off...he trips! But a great, still emotive song.

[muzzmatrix]

"An elephant urinating would have the same affect in this video. Ocasek was a great talent & in many ways defined the many voices of the 1980's."

[cbethfly]

great song, great video. guess you had to be from the 80's to really arrpeciate it...

[MeSoRoxxxy]

I was 15 when the song first came out. I didn't think it was that nice, but listening to it first time in a couple of decades, I kind of discover the beauty of it.... It brings back to me a lot of old feelings and sensations I had back then. Beautiful song!

[thesweetestnam]

summed up brilliantly

[chairmanofthebored1]

Rick rocks!!

[JanetEsq]

Could this video be any stupider? But Ric as always is wonderful.

[thesweetestnam]

its ok....it makes sense

[jaye230]

great song....crappy video...so typical...video def. killed the radio star...

[thesweetestnam]

every1 knocks this vid....its ok

[iluvmusic1480]

I know.. but I always luved the song but couldn't find it under "the cars".. but I put in the title here and found it.. finally!! got it.... it's under ric ocasek.. I didn't think of that at all...

[jags200]

[bcstotz]

OMG thats where i heard it 2....loved this song and i forgot about it until that movie...yeah i agree video stinks

[jaye230]

i actually kinda liked that movie...i rediscovered the song that way as well...peace.

[Seanogoals]

Yes Jenny Powell made the programme for several reasons.

Think it was a bloke called Tony who presented it with her.

It was a great show.Should have more like that theses days.

[jamber2009]

Tony Baker was her oppo in this series

Got the whole of the show this video was broadcast on if you'd like a nostalgia post?

[Seanogoals]

Thanks , No Limits was a great programme.There is a post I found on Youtube for a part of an episode already.

Great music , good show and memorable times.

[clubshaun]

Same here, no limits in the mid 80s with jenny powell and the geezer whos name i don,t no. Bawt this on 7inch vinyl,great tune

[steunited1969]

the first series or two were actually hosted by lisa maxwell (sam nixon in the bill) and some bloke called jeremy before jenny powell and tony took over from them.

the show was perv jonhathan kings show after he did entertainment usa

[steunited1969]

or even johnathan

[Seanogoals]

Great song.First saw this on TV Show in the 80s called No Limits , which was great for music.Bought the album as a result.

[thetrekstitute]

so did i, so glad to have found it again has to be one of my all time favourites

[thetrekstitute]

MY FAVOURITE ALL TIME SONG

[Jantelover]

gorgeous bridge solo (orzabel?) and as flat out lovely a melody as anything he wrote for the cars -- and that's saying a TON... if pop can ever be beautiful, this is it... thanks for posting

[wildboyspaniard]

I love this song very much!!!

It´s incredible, I like very much.

[chevchevmoimoi]

this song was written about a courier driver with no education

[ceknox38]

I always loved this video, but I hope that whoever he killed to get the magic healing potion was already bad!

[wildeast1235]

Agreed 1000%

[Imussagotlost]

BEAUTIFUL song!

[Jblackman1982]

I agree!!
