Mi humilde opinión. Ésta canción estaba hecha para que la interpretará Ben. Su voz suave, melodiosa y todo el sentimiento que emana de su maravillosa voz. Hizo posible ésta canción logrará ser un gran éxito. Gracias querido y recordado Ben por todas las canciones que nos dejaste con tu preciosa voz. Descansa en Dios
Beautiful Ben. I have some friends from Boston who worked for The Cars and they’ve said that Ben was one of the nicest and most down-to-earth guys you’d ever meet. Gone but not EVER forgotten. RIP❤️
I've read a lot too about how nice he was. I want to get the book about him. I read so much on TH-cam and the writer took his time to make sure he did it right..
@@kimn8438 you're welcome I have to comments right under this. I've seen a lot of video and Benjamin got a raw deal. Ric was overbearing and bossy to him and the other bandmates. Read my comments below. Have a good one.👍
A beautiful timeless classic. Moody, emotional. Love the dreamy synths and the calmness of this song.has the power to reach deep into your heart, and stir emotions like all great music should, and music just dosent do today..80's music forever.
Trolls have this ability to strong arm themselves into the most beautiful of places... proceeding to take a shit all over the place...and then turn around bitch because the place looks and smells like shit. Throw a fucking rope over the nearest exposed beam or walk into traffic...and do the right thing. This is a timeless...beautiful song.
Wow, wow, wow. His execution, so melancholy. His presentation, the look on his face, his knowledge and life experiences, combined with the music and words, made this song, sung his way that night, a thing of sadness and beauty, perhaps even exhaustion. Such artistry. The Cars are a great musical team.
I love how Ben just steps up to the mic and then slowly drifts into the background when he is finished...miss your voice....my favorite cars song...I never get tired of listening to this one
One of the best song ever written, and at the same time, one of the most heart-felt, saddest songs ever sung. Only Benjamin Orr could pull that off and he did. It was so sad to hear the passing of Ric Ocasek. Hope they are both re-united up there and chilling to the sounds they made so beautiful. RIP
The song cuts into the emotional body deeply. I grew up in this time it was playyed over and over in my formative years, like so many other 80's songs ingrained in the memories good and bad. This is a very sad and crippling song but a sobering one at the same time. Hard to explain.
The magic of this talented and beautiful soul with a golden voice and looks to match but was never arrogant over any of his attributes. Thankfully you left us the gift of your music behind! Loved and missed! One in a million!💖
Loved the song the first time I listened to it in the early 80's and still loving it as much, if not more this very day. What a magical piece of art. RIP Ben and Ric.
Sammy Scotch no they were underrated, but still well known. It was just that they had so much competition from bands like Queen, AC/DC, and Michael Jackson who were huge music acts. They didn’t get even close to enough credit, and nowadays, not many people I know even know who they are, but they recognize a few of their songs.
i only knew of drive and my best friends girl. because of drive, i’ve been discovering all of the cars albums on apple music recently, and oh man, they have so many hits and recognizable songs i didn’t know were them. the cars were a bit ahead of my time, but i know greatness when i hear it.
Takes my breath away every.single.time....for nearly 4 minutes....nearly 40 years post written....& over 20 years post Ben's passing. Legendary stats right there. Much love to Greg, Dave & Elliot. You lads, all 5 of you, will always have my respect, awe, wonder, & ❤ xxxxx
So many great tunes from The Cars, but this remains my all-time favorite. I can't even imagine how many times I have listened to it, and it still brings goose-bumps - just like it did when this video played. RIP Ben and Ric.
My favorite too, from such a great catalog to choose from. But I'm so sad and heartbroken, watching this..makes me feel like we've lost Ben all over again, Ric is gone now, and Eddie Money as well. Seems like only yesterday this was beginning, and now we're watching the end...
@@aceventurablazeRic wrote and brought in the demo but their manager completely changed the way Ric made his recording. And, once Ben sang the new version, the rest was history.
I, a male rock singer back in the mid-70's to -80's, was literally heartbroken when Freddie and Benjamin wasted away and 'graduated' to the next plane of existence (first, Farrokh Bulsara of AIDS, then Benjamin Orzechowski of pancreatic cancer). Two great lights gone out, voices stilled, silenced forever. It hurts unbearably to this day...
Apparently, according to the people who knew him, he wasn't intense at all, but a shy, quiet, sweet guy with a beautiful voice and the ability to play whatever instrument he set his mind to. He said in an interview near the end of his life that he never felt like he was the sexy band member. That was just a persona for performances and once he was off stage he was just Benny.
OLD BAY.... you’re exactly right. I’m 56 and I feel so incredibly fortunate that this was my era of music. I was in my prime when this group came along and it almost brings tears to my eyes when I listen to this....real music....real musicians....real lyrics....I’m so thankful I experienced this.❤️
Time is a sword! Ben was clearly a rock god: talented, good looking, successful. Don't dally too long, kiddies, the sun will go down sooner than we think for all of us.
this song made me cry the first night i heard it couple years ago as i recieved an email from a special someone who came to say the last goodbye but wasnt there to see him becaus ei was very busy in my school classes. so he made me a special email letting me know how much i impacted his life. as i was reading it all i could think was omg im wanting to tell him the same thing but now he is gone and never heard from him again...
Yes it was too soon it’s hard to believe sometimes that his life was cut short on the other hand he brought a lot of joy in peoples life’s it both joy and sadness Just amazing man so talented I miss him
@@aceventurablaze Ric never wanted anybody to write songs for The Cars. Ben wrote some songs about 1982 , but lost almost everything during the fire. He wrote songs for his solo album The Lace in 1986, after the Cars he wrote many songs with his other friends .
Eu amo essa musica, nao sei explicar o que sinto sempre que a escuto. Lamento muito por hoje nao ter músicas que tocam a alma. A forma que Ben a canta me encanta, me faz viajar. Lindo.
Such a beautiful song. So mournful and heartfelt. I've heard it many, many times, and never once did it make me want to turn away; it always drew me in and took me for a drive..
This song will always be remembered the best song Cars Drive we are in 2020 I still play this song. Makes me cry Thanks for the Memories we share in Cars and Drive
Siempre te recordaremos Benjamin Orr gracias por tu legado musical por regalarnos tu talento por dar tu vida a la musica ....los 80s por siempre. Lima - Perú.
I must have been living in a CAVE. I did NOT know that Ben Orr had passed. I just heard "DRIVE" on my car radio & thought I would Google it on You Tube. Lost my brother to Colon Cancer, so I know how sad everybody is to lose this talented man & musician. You continue to LIVE ON with us in your music, their fore, you LIVE ON with us!
This song is one of just a few that gives me chills every time I hear it (another is Jeff Lynne's Strange Magic). I am so glad you posted this song here! RIP Ben and, now, Rik.
I remember when this was played at Live Aid. It stopped me in my tracks. It was played over a video of skeletal kids. It choked me up. Incredible song and singer.
A totally under-rated love ballad in the history of rock. The Cars were certainly commercial...but they also had a degree of brilliance in their approach to the use of synths and how to use three keyboard players successfully...among many sound innovations. This song is beautiful, eerie, and it rocks even though it's a ballad. Absolutely brilliant...and it simply grabs my heart. The beat is incredibly unusual. I tried playing it in a cover band once...not easy...to put it mildly.
I love Benjamin so much and this song he is so incredible beautiful and such a sweet soul always. Legends live on and never ever die. He isn’t truly gone cause sometimes I feel Benjamin’s spirit. Such a beautiful lovely voice he has.
The Cars do a terriffic live performance, they sound as good as they do on the albums. that is amazing thing in and of itself to do. Ben does every song excellent. love the voice and loved the looks.
No autotune, no lipsynching, or recorded backing tracks....and the singer stays on key and plays an instrument.....talent....what a concept.....
And you know this…because?
@@AllSven because he knows
he only plays D on a bass for the most part, not that hard really.
lol 😂 they had baking tracks …
Nobody like Benny Orr !! So talented, we miss you Benjamin Orr !!!!
Such a beautiful, evocative song that never gets old, and I love the way Benjamin Orr sings it.

One of my favorite songs of all time. Hauntingly beautiful. RIP Ben and Ric. Thanks for the music.
He was soooo kool..
Possibly the most seminal song of all the great ones that came out of the '80s.
Please refer to 📖 John 5 : 24 🙏
Benjamin isn’t truly gone ever
You don't realize how really, really good these songs were until all these years later..........
My God what a true statement
I still play this song when i"m in bed to sleep..love this song.
Nope, I knew right away. I was the person who chose the songs my band covered, and with the Cars I got it right pretty much every time.
🎯
Speak for yourself
From which planet are the 137 who voted thumbs down? This is a Top 100 rock ballad of all time, and Benjamin Orr was a gift from God. RIP Benjamin.
The nay-sayers must be cretins. This is by far my fave Cars Song. Ben's talent was immense. A God among men.

not hard to do when youre lip syncing..lol look at his hands and tell me he is playing that bass..lol
@@brucefouts974 he is singing just not playing. Probably wanted to hit the notes well.

It was so sad to hear the passing of Ric Ocasek. Hope they are both re-united up there and chilling to the sounds they made so beautiful. RIP

To me this displays why in many of their songs Ben Orr outdistances Ric Ocasek
with his stylistic vocal interpretation.
The song cuts into the emotional body deeply. I grew up in this time it was playyed over and over in my formative years, like so many other 80's songs ingrained in the memories good and bad. This is a very sad and crippling song but a sobering one at the same time. Hard to explain.
How beautiful and humble does Ben seem here. Boy I'm sure he's hugging Ric in the Lords glory. Thanks for the beautiful memories dudes!
Al Navarro Yes he is beautiful incredible sweet soul

I LOVE, LOVE, this song, Benjamin.. we miss you and Love you, beautiful voice and man. from Argentina
It must be among The most beautiful songs of all time.
Quite possibly the most underrated band of that time
I dont think they were underrated at all. Best band by many and had tons of air plsy
Agree 100% and my personal favorite.
Sammy Scotch no they were underrated, but still well known. It was just that they had so much competition from bands like Queen, AC/DC, and Michael Jackson who were huge music acts. They didn’t get even close to enough credit, and nowadays, not many people I know even know who they are, but they recognize a few of their songs.

I'm a 90's kid I would give everything to be in the 80s.
Fucking love, love, love Benjamin Orr and I’m as straight as they come. What a wonderful human being he was.
Ben's little wave of acknowledgment at the end of the song just blows me away. Such a humble gesture.
I, a male rock singer back in the mid-70's to -80's, was literally heartbroken when Freddie and Benjamin wasted away and 'graduated' to the next plane of existence (first, Farrokh Bulsara of AIDS, then Benjamin Orzechowski of pancreatic cancer).

I agree with you on that. It does hurt still to this day.
both awful, nasty diseases. Wish there was a cure for both.
Ben Orr looked like a thoughtful intense man. His voice and demeanor was meant for this beautiful song. RIP Ben and Ric as you made beautiful music.
