    Lyrics:
    Who's gonna tell you when
    It's too late?
    Who's gonna tell you things
    Aren't so great?
    You can't go on
    Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
    Who's gonna drive you home
    Tonight?
    Who's gonna pick you up
    When you fall?
    Who's gonna hang it up
    When you call?
    Who's gonna pay attention
    To your dreams?
    Who's gonna plug their ears
    When you scream?
    You can't go on
    Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
    Who's gonna drive you home
    Tonight?
    Who's gonna hold you down
    When you shake?
    Who's gonna come around
    When you break?
    You can't go on
    Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
    Who's gonna drive you home
    Tonight?
    You know you can't go on
    Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
    Who's gonna drive you home
    Tonight?

      You know I've probably heard this song a thousand times if I've heard it once, but on the day you posted this comment I heard it on the radio, I turned up the volume a little bit, and I'm not sure what it was, but it was like I was hearing it for the first time, and now I can't get it, or that feeling you posted about, out of my head. Perhaps something was making connections that day ??

Fast forward 37 years, as my 91 year old mom is getting ready to finally rejoin dad, this song resonates now, as much as it did in 1984.

    This is one of those songs that defines a time in my life. I was 21, pregnant and working at the Pizza Hut at night and attending college in the day. After we shut down at night I would play this song on the jukebox while cleaning. I remember the feeling of not knowing what my life was going to be like after the birth of my child. So many unknowns for the future.
    33 years later my daughter was pregnant with her second child and suffered an AVM rupture in her brain. She coded 5 times. Was in the hospital 2 months and we expected her at first to not survive the night then, as she pulled through we expected severe brain damage.
    I heard this song again while driving to and from the hospital. Again so many unknowns for the future.
    3 years later her mind is sound as ever but she has visual and balance problems. He baby is perfect.
    Music has the special ability to connect us instantly with a time, place and emotion. I have more than one song that represents something but this one, this one carries a special feeling of "waiting for the unknown. "

    I am 27 years old, I've never lived the 80s nor the 90s, but for some reason, every time I hear these songs, like "She's a maniac", songs from Michael Jackson, Modern Talking, or Queen, I close my eyes and feel like I'm traveling to the past, and I imagine how awesome those times were.
    The music of 80s and 90s are just ... Magical.

    I was a lifeguard at a swim club when this song came out and for some reason this song is locked in my brain at a moment as a high school teenager. It was early in the morning before the club opened, and I was vacuuming the pool. The sun had just come up and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was going to be a perfect summer day at the best job a teenager could have in the summer time. I had the music on over the pool speakers and this song came on and I remember having this peaceful feeling as I stood there quietly enjoying the early morning silence with this song as the backdrop before the day got busy. I won’t ever forget that moment and I think of it every time I hear this song. RIP Ric and Benjamin. Your music lives on in memories like these. And, I too had a Walkman……

My dad likes a lot of songs too, but he mostly loves music from the 60s and 70s since that was his time. That definitely rubbed off on me too. And as for favorite genre I feel the same, I mostly like rock/pop but also a lot of new wave stuff like Talking Heads! Definitely one of my all time favorites, and obviously The Cars as well. Scorpions, DEVO, Madonna, Billy Idol, Erasure, The Clash, Hall & Oates, The Outfield, Van Halen, REO Speedwagon, etc etc... all ones I love!

      For me the 80s was my mom chain smoking cigarettes in the car with her window cracked, getting McDonald’s almost every day when my dad was deployed, cartoons, playing outside til the street lights came on. I used to try singing like MaDonna! I was just a little kid then. Hair was big! Everyone looks back nostalgically at different decades. I honestly am glad I grew up before social media, etc... There was dial-up by the time I was in 4th grade, but it wasn’t common to have. There were “car phones,” but I never saw them. And the giant 80’s mobile phone looked like a giant walk-in-talkie. 😂 It wasn’t that great honestly. But it’s better than what my kids are growing up with today.
      P.S. Not everyone had cable, but if a kid on your block did, you’d be posted watching MTV music videos or you’d make mixed tapes off of the radio.

    Drive was one of the greatest songs of the 80s. I didn’t know it at the time, but it’s about his girlfriend who’s a drug addict and he’s asking her all those questions, finally realizing there’s no hope for her or their relationship. I think this song touches everyone in some way. There’s nothing made today that comes close to the music of the 70s and 80s.

    My dad used to love this song, he had it on cassette he'd play in his car really often. I've had this on Spotify since I got the app.. my dad passed away in July 2021.. he was diagnosed with cancer on the very last stage and the doctors couldn't do anything cause it had spread to his lungs, kidneys, liver, bladder and arteries..
    This always reminds me of him now.. brings tears to my eyes cause how much he cared.. He'd always picked me from work, dropped me off and we'd talk about everything and anything. He'd stay up late waiting for me when I was out for dinner "who's gonna tell you, it's too late"
    He would talk to me about the issues we faced financially "who's gonna tell you things, aren't so great"
    And now that he's gone I can't "go on thinking nothing's wrong"
    He was always there when I was broken "who's gonna pick you up when you fall"
    "Who's gonna pay attention to your dreams?" He never had me spend anything for anything other than the things that I needed and wanted I had everything I wanted cause he was there for me. For us. 😭
    He paid for my education all the way through to the end. And I feel like I wasn't even able to make up for it.
    I'm happy I got to spend his last days right by his side. He held my hand so tight every time in the last few days, he was unable to speak but I always felt like he wanted to say something to me.. May his soul rest in peace. ❤️😭
    This song shall forever remind me of him. Even though I know that's not the intended meaning behind the video or the song but that's the beauty of the song, it could translate to a specific thing for the different audience.

The reality of how great & diverse the current music of the 80's was may have been a little lost on us at the time. All we knew was we just loved it but looking back It's sweeter now because of the memories. Every band had a distinct sound & their own identity.

    Benjamin Orr was such an underrated talent. But had the perfect voice for Drive. RIP Ben.

    Старый добрый музыкальный клип. Того времени, когда писали хорошую музыку и делали красивые клипы.❤

      I love the 80s and overall this tune is in my top 10. I can literally listen to this song all day.
