Ric Ocasek - Emotion In Motion

[skeaneable]

why does this music video looks like a scene from Tom Cruise 1985 film Legend.

[MyDream2Nite]

Heard this song in 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' ; ) Had to look this up again....

[ScottyVonScotty]

looks like hes having a little trouble holding the girl in the beginning there....

[RoxyFoxyLady]

Love it!

[jmcgrath7520]

They don't make music or videos like this anymore.

[trdidion]

@jmcgrath7520 u got that right. sucks.

[friendoftammyfaye]

Video remindes me of the movie Legend!

[jmcgrath7520]

Epic song!!!

[jenny198932]

i always remember this song on a program called no limits on a sunday back in 86.

[jonnybgoode007]

Thanks. Never got to See this one. Very Nice.  :)

[TheMinxy76]

Am I wrong in thinking that Roger Taylor from Queen done backing vocals?

[theonlymoo5e]

Hit #1 on the Billboard mainstream rock chart for 1 week on Oct 4, 1986

[lisahalstead1974]

I have always Loved this song ! Wow what Great days these were !

[ChiefTexasBreeze]

@lisahalstead1974 I totally agree!!! The videos from back then were always neat and told a story...

[BengalBest]

Great song ! Rememberance of my college years in the States. So unknown here in France. Too bad. I still love the Cars and Ric Ocasek

[silverfuck77jpm]

brilliant ric ocasek you are the best - also love YOU ARE THE GIRL - great memories thank you Mr.Ocasek and the Cars X

[dankwarth]

Ric looks a little bit like George Harrison.

[GimmeRoland]

Roland Orzabal (Tears for Fears) on guitar here. ..and I wondered why I was so in love with this particular Cars tune : ))))

[RossElvin]

Good song from a good album. Ric's the coolest dude, too.

[SuperSoulMagic]

Una cansion inolvidable para mi ¡¡¡¡¡ emotion in motion desde El Salvador ¡¡¡¡

[WendyStringer48088]

Beautiful video. Some of the scenes in the video I didn't quite understand, but other parts were very well done I thought. The way Ric returns to her with the antidote potion, tenderly raises up her head and shoulders and puts some of the potion in her mouth to hopefully revive her and gently puts her back down and when she gets her normal color back and wakes up she looks at him and smiles with a look that she knew he would save her was very sweet.

[MsValentina9999]

Unmistakeable xoxoxoxoxoxox 

[Dlrealife]

Great song...Shitty Video



[morrisondan]

@Dlrealife Couldn't agree more!.

[dansmom3391]

Was my wedding song..in 1987

[berdaderoful]

Que hermosas emociones despierta esta bellisima cancion, y me emociona mas aun al leer las cosas que escriben los amigos del youtube sludoa

[Panorama1981]

No wardrobe director needed for Ric. Thats how he really dresses.

[RashadS21]

it's sad how underrated Ric is, this video deserves way more views it's so beautiful

[RashadS21]

I love this song, Ric is so underrated his music sends chills in the soul

[jeffersoncellsoft]

Time passes...Good old song. I was in the United States and saw the clip on MTV in 1986. Now I´m a grandfather. Time passes...

[1UPshearer]

my dad wanted to dance to this at my wedding.. I wish we had.

[valdominicalli]

nossa havia uns 20 ou mais que não ouvia esta musica , é linda, que saudades.

[disccentury]

CLICK ON: disccentury, MY MUSIC, NEVER SEEN



[359lillian]

Aw in the end of the video,there's a cute little fox!

[Render767]

lived in Boston during the best of the Cars years.. awesome

if only there could b some music produced like this now

any musician can shred, but few can sing like Ric

wow I miss Ben too

he'd b all over this

Back Bay, baby!

[SKOTP69]

What a masterpiece, really, what a (sadly near forgotten) gem of a beautiful, magical, MASTERPIECE!!!

[cassiogt]

Oh man, GOTTA love the 80's...nobody felt guilty of being romantic and "cheesy"...everybody was into love, poetry, good music...and synths. This is an absolute classic...say, anyone...who's got a tuned DeLorean to borrow?

[jchopra]

Oh oh it's magic!!!

[sudario3]

Bela musica, gosto muito de ouvi-la.....

[DaveWollenberg]

Ric hit #15 in Billboard, 11-15-86. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great weekend!

[Wiery100]

Essa música é maravilhosa, tanto ela, quanto o video, e mais o nome do Ric Ocasek.

[warriorthunderstar]

Is that midget the same one from "The Safety Dance"?

[lightsofrose]

LOVE this song - the 80's produced great music - better then the crap today

[TheComb18]

it's beautiful

[indiodormido]

La canción es fabulosa.

[4604oscar]

me gusto el vídeo y lógicamente la canción

[TheComb18]

magique et sentimental Ric est plein de charme

[Mromar2]

a very intense yet lovely song to remember brings good memories thumbs up

[dons4europe]

Truly Awful ,Iloved this 20 years ago but now It seems truly awful lyrically and musically. Rick just looks like a sex case and sad Twat . So so so so sad. Thinking about It Ricks lyrics are shit . "Youre emotional, emotion, magical potion .repeat till fade"... FucKin Brutal.

[nogoforyou]

@dons4europe

What's better, this simple musical arrangement from Ocasek written back in 85 or that overindulgent mess of noise from Arcade Fire that you have on your channel? Arcade Fire= overrated.

[BustaGutTv]

@dons4europe WOW...so many words for a musical tard!!! Rick was and still is great at was he does!!! Stay in Europe please dons4europe/france or whatever!!!  Surrender!!!

[dons4europe]

Truly Awful ,Iloved this 20 years ago but now It seems truly awful lyrically and musically. Rick just looks like a sex case and sad Twat . So so so so sad. Thinking about It Ricks lyrics are shit . "Youre emotional, emotion, magical potion .repeat till fade"... Fuciin Brutal.

[1234JAG567]

He played this song on SNL on April 4, 1987 the day I met my wife!

[SnugglySara]

@1234JAG567 I remember that episode.

[sctdiverdown]

Have this cd .....took a long time to find it, but worthwhile ;-)

Ric always had a unique sounding voice ....great song and synths ....

[46Carlitos]

Lovely video and song. It brings so many memories...

[Jimrin1967]

I wonder if the lone person who clicked "dislike" feels like a complete tool.

[Ritinha2864]

Essa musica fala para minha alma. Gosto mesmo é das emoções que vivemos juntos............

[dbaser1985]

[hockeyron1968]

Beautiful song, beautiful video. Ahh, the days when real musicians ruled the airwaves.

[molonlave2010]

I want to dedicate this song to my grandparents who pasted away 2 years ago

[Vintagedude]

Just saw the Cars in Denver tonight- they rocked and Ocasek sounds great!

[WendyStringer48088]

Beautiful Video of a beautiful song.

[pawnsacrifice1]

I don't know why I remember this only because it was shown on a UK programme called "Entertainment USA" back in the mid 80's and I remember the dwarf tripping over the tree stump in the video....random I know.

[McWashclothe]

I think Ric had just watched Legend

[fetishisticrose]

@McWashclothe this vid came out shortly after "legend" ...cool

[clinkgirl2009]

I am so glad I am not the only one that remembers this great song! So sweet

[Supersweetguy]

@clinkgirl2009 I remember this song way back in 1986.

[peanutbuttercrunc100]

ahh finally! i was wondering who sang that "one tune from the eighties" on a hunch i searched for the cars after listening to Deftones "Drive" cover and eventually ended up here...what luck lol.

[forangeljr]

@mayjemm no brandon flowers (whoever the hell that is) sounds like Ric, this is some old shit not new jive ass mambypamby shit. Respect the old.

[MsSugarPearL]

Love this song! !

Heard it in Confessions of A Shopaholic! <3

[mayjemm]

His voice sounds like Brandon Flower's voice.

I love this song!

[patriot0048]

rock on 80s!!!

[alisterfolson]

refreshing to know I'm not the only one who remembers this album....thumbs up if you agree

[wildsmiley]

@alisterfolson oh I love This Side of Paradise album. And I think this is my favorite from that album. By the way, why does this video look like a deleted scene from Legend?

[alisterfolson]

@wildsmiley Some kind of fantasy-thingie...it's all good, yah!

[RAMIREZ3408]

@alisterfolson This makes me want to cry, with a knot in my throat, feeling of I am so sorry for any bad things I might have done in the past, repentance, I which my life started over again to do things right. I am sorry to all I have offended, or judged, or criticizide, Please forgive God yeard have passed me by so fast, and life is so short. Please remember me when I die.

[ehelibuff73]

@alisterfolson I have the album. The original CD.

[ImAnnaChristine]

the little creatures scare me..

[Stingernukegod]

"Sad Song" is better then "Blue TIp" but TIp is still very good.

[tacomadc]

Any video is better with midgets in it.

Good song, not many this good since he left the Cars.

[marco253]

The Cars vao voltar??? Boa...

[myryckyz]

Great news about the return of THE CARS,,,though shamely without Orr,,,and by the way Happy Birthday Rick Ocasek!!,,,sincerely Rick Bruni

[perpetual61]

The Original Cars with the Exception of Ben Orr who died in 2000. Have Reunited and have a New Album called " Move Like This" which will be Released on May10,2011. Check out their First Single " Blue Tip" you'll be Totally Amazed.

[devilfan1965]

really? i thought he was never comming back to cars...i guess he needs the money or something,,lol it doesn't matter as long as he is back....i miss benjamin orr...they were like brothers

[kusong]

Thanks GOD! I found this song finally i love this song

[mtlangley1981]

Im glad he rejoined the cars for a new album minus the late benjamin orr

[zabalajohn]

i love the guitar in this song...

[3more2go]

Still have this cassette! Dude is awsome.

[WiccanOrbweaver]

Reminds me of my late girlfriend. Love this song.

[ladyscarlet94]

I thought this had a great concept - fantasy...Rick was great as ever.

[rockfever723]

He did some great solo stuff, but it's good to see him back with the boys in The Cars!

[MrWilliam290]

@rockfever723 the last concert is in boston at the end of may I hope to be there

[DizmulDon86]

This song reminds me of being a kid again. What great summers I had then!

[kja427]

What the Hell, Ric? You cuoldn't do this tune with The Cars? It's a nice tune, but, it would have been better with The Cars; Believeth thou it!

[cachipla]

gran clasico de los 80 y donde esta mi princesa todavia no la e encontrado ALEX

[aranhoso]

niiiiiiiiiice song!

[theseether]

Lovely song. Much poppier than the Cars stuff.

[DucksFromHell]

sounds like meatloaf

[theseether]

@DucksFromHell Meatloaf??!! in what way, pray tell? or do you mean like the food...meatloaf.

[Aus78Formula]

@theseether

the opening line and tune..i picked it up too

[DucksFromHell]

@theseether the song that goes "i would do anything for love"

[theseether]

@DucksFromHell Interesting [looks off to the side in bewilderment]. Well, who am I, indeed, to doubt that you think this sounds like Meatloaf. I, however, do not hear any resemblance at all.

[hawaiianflight]

@theseether  Totally agree. Meatloaf............? Yeah, right. Nowhere near it!!!

[shjakes]

Nice One! Forgot all about it until I saw the title on a Naked Eyes album. This was one of the songs that I loved listening to on VH1 in the mid 80s. Merci for the memories! :)

[midatlanticcycle]

rick wasn't much of a live performer but one of america's best songwriters of the 80's. really a quite beautiful song.

[clontarf99]

Love this song, can't find it on Ireland iTunes though :(

[midatlanticcycle]

@clontarf99 frostwire has it. i checked for you

[jsshotter3]

one of my most favorite viideos of the 80's..love it

[jsshotter3]

one of my most favorite viideos of the 80's..love it

[dintmate351]

beautiful song,very touching!!

[countwolfula]

I remember thinking that this song and video was so beautiful way back then.

I was a big Cars fan, as were all of my friends. This Rik solo record was great too.

Thanks for the memories!!!

[tahbonius]

I love the setting of this video. Reminds me of legend. I used to imagine I lived in a place like that when I was younger.

[parsonsclubmarket]

Beautiful song and video!

[fantasticnose]

Great song with a great video... So 80's. Bravo!

[skeaneable]

this is one strange music video kinda feel like Tom Cruise's Legend.

[Mysteryfan28]

God I almost forgot about this song. Glad to know the video still around. :)

[fudedordebuceta1]

emotion inmotion...my magic emoooootion...wtf,but nice instrumental

[petrolpete100]

@fudedordebuceta1 Its emotion in motion a magical potion your emotion in motion to me.

[seaneless]

i gave up looking for Ric songs..but accidentally click something and leads to this, awesome!!..thanks so much for uploading

[LizFlanagan]

<3 this song!!!

[feitdan]

nossa! Ric só pode ser o irmão de Zé bonitinho. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[KARLITOS61]

The videoclip is very beautiful.

The song make me very happy with my love.

[kryer981]

@KARLITOS61 I've always loved the ending where he just holds her close. The sweet innocence of that scene is so emotional.

[dunx1964]

Boy he certainly doesn't need make up to make him look like a fairytale creature!!

[MishuTaste]

I thought he was fighting the dwarf.

[2010loverlife]

Amar...é a melhor coisa do mundo.Cada segundo em nossa vida passa a ter mais significado... S2

[mmelissa420]

AHAHAHAHAHA! That was awesome. Cheesiest video ever. That little guy was great. Don't get me wrong, love the cars, love ric and ben, but come on, this is pretty damn cheesy. I'm gonna watch it again now.

[Trowerblues]

Not a bad tune!

[2010loverlife]

Lembranças que levarei para a vida inteira... s2

[jdolani]

Such an amazingly beautiful song!

[fastrack1418]

what a great song, bring back those memories of the 80s!

[mettaborough]

this was one of my wedding songs in 1989 and I still love it

[wildboyspaniard]

AWESOME song. Great music. :)

[beerbrain420]

Oh I well understand where you're coming from! I'm somewhat of a music nut myself. And you know how you figured I liked ELO? Because their music is attractively melodic, dense and textured, much like........The Cars. I'm not saying The Cars SOUND like ELO, but they used some similar techniques in putting their music together.

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 Forgive me for using this site as a chat room........my son informs me that I shouldn't.......(don't like "chat rooms"......uncomfortable in them for some reason).....The way you word it brings it all out to the surface for me to see.......yes; "melodic, dense and textured".......perfect description in words......especially "melodic".........Melody is such an attraction for me ............perhaps that's why I love Mozart.....

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema Oh yeah, Mozart is excellent, even for an old rocker like me. And, I'll perk up for a Beethoven symphony any time.

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 LOL!!............you understand friend.........(Bless you)...........Has "music" played an important part in our lives, or what?..............(it is going to be difficult to walk away from our conversing............IT HAS BEEN SUCH A PLEASURE)...........YAH BLESS YOU FRIEND......MAY HE GUARD YOUR EVERY STEP & PROTECT YOU!...........( going and coming).

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema And LIKEWISE to you! ;-)

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 my son had encouraged me to establish a facebook page.......I decided to take his advice;............contact me if you hear of a Cars reunion Friend.

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema You got it! If the Cars reunion happens it will be BIG news...at least to us!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 amen!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 My son informs me that you must know my name in order that you be able to contact me on "Facebook"...............it's Anita Griffin.

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema OK, Anita! I must admit, though, that I use Facebook extremely rarely. I don't even have my own account, I just borrow my wife's once in a while if she's not using it. It would probably just be easier for me to leave a message on your YouTube account.

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 that'll be fine my friend .....went to your site............like your hat......love Enya too..........star trek....love to talk "politics"......hate religion too....but probably not for the same reasons that you do..........I hate it's lies and divisiveness ....."religion" has sent more people to hell..............Well.....kee­p in touch friend; wish you and your wife only the best......( I love dogs too)

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema Sure thing, and feel free to stop by anytime! Who knows when The Cars and Ric might suddenly roll out the reunion album!

[wahoodal0896]

@beerbrain420 I never thought it would happen, but they are in the studio recording a new album now. All the original members minus late Benjamin Orr. I can't wait to hear it.

[beerbrain420]

@wahoodal0896 That is FANTASTIC news!!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 YAHOO!!!!!...Grateful for wahoodal0896s' post! .....it IS WONDERFUL!!

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema Isn't it great? I've read that the four guys are recording at a studio in upstate New York......and that the album should be out sometime next year. In fact, they are even considering a reunion tour!  WOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 HEY MY BROTHER!!........Isn't it GREAT!!!.....THEY WILL "NEVER" DIE!!.....LOL.....wonder how they'll work around the loss of Ben??

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema Hmmmm, that's a GOOD question, mema! In the studio, I've heard that Greg is playing bass, in addition to the keyboard synths. If they tour, I suppose they'll have to pick up a guest musician. But of course, they'll never be able to duplicate Ben's fabulous voice, they'll just have to make do, I guess!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 We shall see what they decide.....no doubt!.....you thought they would get back together....you were RIGHT!...If they tour......I know you won't miss it......just hope they come to central Fl..........I won't miss this one!!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 Maybe they'll come to the same conclusion that we fans have; that there is NO substitute for Ben..........so.......they WON'T try to find a substitute.....

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema Well mema, that could very well be, at least from a singing standpoint. But they'll still need someone to play bass on tour. And I'm not sure how it would sound hearing Ric sing Cars classics such as "Just What I Needed," "Let's Go," or "Drive." I guess we'll just have to wait and see.......

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 ........Yeah your right.........we'll just sit back & see what they come up with......good talking with you again!!.....BE BLESSED MY BROTHER!!

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema Since I live only a 90 minute drive from New York City, I can pretty well count on finding a concert within reach, if they decide to tour. But I would say that central Florida is a pretty good bet as well.....Tampa maybe, or Orlando?

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 LET'S HOPE SO!!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 by the way...........something I just realized............this is "Paulina" he is carrying in this video!!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 AND HARPS!!

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema I've always liked most of ELO's stuff!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 How is it I knew you would?................My favorite of theirs is "Confusion"; second favorite is "Rain is Falling"..............loved their "sound" & their "harmonizing"............they had so many other good pieces as well.......Music is an "addiction" for me............has been all my life....have to have it all day, every day!

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 For me, Ric's "Emotion in Motion" is one of those rare pieces of music that I have to hear from year to year............from time to time........I get a "need" to hear it.....I never forget it......I'll listen to it constantly for a while........then some time later, I'll listen to it again as the need arises.

[beerbrain420]

The Cars have a one-minute snippet of a NEW SONG, their first in 22 years, on their Facebook page. The tune is called "Blue Tip."

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 Blue tip???..........Thanks!.......­.will check it out my friend...........tried earlier this morning to connect to Ric's website................it's still "under construction" it said............will go to their Facebook page a little later..........still listening to my favorite song of Ric's...............can't seem to get enough

[313Mema]

@beerbrain420 Just got thru listening to that one-minute snippet of "Blue Tip".....LOVED IT.........hope it "goes thru" to completion; would love to hear the rest of it....................we fans would indeed love a reunion..............but I thought Ric was staunchly against a reunion.

[beerbrain420]

@313Mema Well Ric WAS against a reunion, for many years......especially after poor Ben died. But it seems that he has warmed up to it recently.
