Awww this is when life was so great. Only at 25 years old and had my whole life ahead of me. Here i sit listening once again and turning 60 next month and this made me cry.
Also 60 years old. It seems like yesterday I was cruising in my 1973 Black Dodge Charger with this cranked and the windows rolled down. Miss those carefree days.
@@charlygue4637 Pues ya somos mas, el caso que llevo 40 tarareándola en mi cabeza y no sabia de quien era, después de 600gb de música descargada, hace 2 meses cuando menos lo esperaba escuchando "Drive", escuche el siguiente tema y … la encontré la joiaaaaaa !!! . Que alegría, me encanta !!! Que recuerdo curraba en Madrid en la sala "Star"
@big boy The song Heartbeat City was totally underrated when the album was released in 1984. Unlike the four other top 10 hits from the album, it never broke into the Billboard top 100 in the U.S. and the song charted only at number 78 in the United Kingdom and number 75 in Australia.
There’s an old saying, you don’t know what you got until it’s gone. Sadly we don’t have Ben & Ric anymore, however the wonderful music they made with The Cars will live on forever. ❤
What a classic song , great band and so many awesome songs , we don't go looking for old music , we look for the the memories they carry with us , songs like this have no expiry date 🎸🎸
This song brings back so many memories that went way to fast im 61 now and it still take me to infinity and beyond every time i listen to it wish i could go back there one more time
Always loved the cars… I was 20, 21 years old laying on my bed listening to this song with my whole future ahead of me!!!! Such a beautiful time in my life. Crying just remembering those days ….everything was perfect and hopeful for the future!!!! Sad to be over!
When I was a teenager in the 80s I listened to the Cars albums so much that the lyrics to the songs were carved into my brain. Didn't listen for a decade or more then rediscovered them and could sing every word. Benjamin Orr and Rics voices were perfect for the songs. Such a hugely talented band and I still listen to them almost every day. Ben and Ric's voices will live on forever. Just beautiful ❤️
This song has so many good parts in it that even when they are repeated again and again to create the long version, it makes it even better than the short one
I'm 61, and I love this cars music, so talented guys, I lost 4 members of my family last year I'm hoping 2021 is a better year, This is good old times Rock N Roll !!!
Yesterday I was fish trolling through a lot of "Live Aid 85" videos. But when I wake up this next morning. I had this beat/sound in my head. I had to find out which song it came from :-) and this was this ;-)
Same here but I've been listening to it since I bought the cassette tape from Kmart in 1984, 38 years ago, if you can believe that. It's still magical and hypnotic.
hi dude, I see that you have a pseudonym of Blade Runner, and I don't know if you noticed it but in this song there are some sounds that are very similar to some of the main themes of Blade Runner music, I think it must be because of the keyboards that The Cars used, keyboards that were very emblematic in the 80s and that were used by Vangelis in person, the composer of the Blade Runner music; possibly the keyboardist of The Cars or the whole band used those similar musical notes from the music of Blade Runner intentionally because they were all fans of the movie, and since that movie shows a society and civilization lost in the mists and frameworks of an endless city those musical notes came in handy for a song that would speak of the sadness and nostalgia of a lonely man, singing the lost love of a woman in a big city, i think that happen with this amazing song, well, maybe is like this or is just my idea hehehe, greetings, dude ;)
Absolutely definitive sound of the 80s. The Cars took techno to the ultimate level, glorious synths, spot on bass driving it on with the drum beat and the guitar lead a true art form. Ric's vocals on this are beautifully absorbed into the instrumentation and the track is just perfection for me. The song lives on.
I have been searching for this song for too long and I found it 2 days ago. The funny part of it is that I always thought that this song was from Supertramp and I couldn't find it for ages. Thanks to my friend who had Shazam, thank you mate. One of the most amazing songs I have ever heard in my life. God bless The Cars for this magical song.
I can see where you thought it might be Supertramp. Happiness is finding a song you have been trying to find. Your lucky at least nowadays we have Search Engines. It was really hard to find songs many years ago. Hated it when DJ's would never say the name of a song, like we are all supposed to know it already like mind readers.
I was in a record store back in the 80’s and the store owner played this song and it was comical I raced up to the counter and asked who this was and he told me it was a new Album just released by the cars and I grabbed 2 copies because I was a DJ at the time and I noticed quite a few people were getting the same album! All the songs were great on the album!! Yes their music was included in my song rotation as dj!!
Que musica tan agradable, definitivamente The Cars una de las mejoras bandas ochenteras, sonidos basicos, sintetizador, gitarras, bajo y bateria y esa espectacular voz de su cantante. unica👏
60 years old and just discovering this great cars song, and liking all the comments. Grew up with 80's music but never realized how great the cars were until recently watching their concert in summit texas in '84.
Great music never gets old it just gets Better with time. Benjamin and Rick are rocking this I bet wherever they are. Godspeed Both of you, thanks for the great music you gave us All
When I first heard The Cars self-titled first album in 1978, I was hooked. And can safely say that, even though I have a number of favorite bands, The Cars is my all time #1 favorite band, hands down, bar none. Wore out many copies of Heartbeat City. Lots of people call this pop, I call this smooth.
Nobody can replace that VOICE OF RICK AND BEN!! I remember in 78 the first time I heard ,let the good times roll! That guitar INTRO I was hooked from then on!!
The first self titled album had me hooked.. almost punk , almost new wave. Summer 80's fun . Sunshine. Girls -Cars ! Benjamin Orr and Ric Ocasek's voices will last a lifetime. Thank you Ric, Ben and Elliot Easton for the best years of my youth.
The Cars have been a major influence in Pop and New Wave Music. The music has broken all kinds of genre in todays Pop music. They were truly many light years ahead of their times.
To me this song "IS" The Cars. Back in the day I recorded a tape from the CD so I could play the song on a near continuous loop. RIP Rick, you brought great happiness to more people than you could ever know.
I was given brushoff the first time I heard this song. Listened to it once and again, helped me keep the mood, sad, blues, and somehow comfortable, unable to forget that girl. Wonderful 80s, wonderful teenage, wonderful The Cars. Oh mate how I love this song!!!
![Simple Minds: Big Sleep [12'' Extended Version 2023, Unofficial]](/img/n.gif)
I’m 59 now and still loving their music..!! Definitely timeless
Awww this is when life was so great. Only at 25 years old and had my whole life ahead of me. Here i sit listening once again and turning 60 next month and this made me cry.
Any advice for a 19 year old? Also I'm glad you made it :)
@@prnxcarter8800 If you like this song you are probably already heading in the right direction ;-). Good luck!
@@egnazia that was a nice comment ✌️ agreed
Also 60 years old. It seems like yesterday I was cruising in my 1973 Black Dodge Charger with this cranked and the windows rolled down. Miss those carefree days.
Hey just turned 60 last month I'll never forget Heartbeat City my 74 LT1 CAMARO WAS NAMED JACKIE BECAUSE OF THIS SONG
63 here, I love these guys❤️
The Good ol’ days, when life was “Simple” and the music meant everything
No pudo haber escrito algo tan hermoso y verdadero👏👏👏
If it be the food of love then play on 🕊
So true!!
One of the Greatest bands and one of the Greatest songs
This is not an 80s song it’s a timeless song that happens to be made in the 80s. Just magnificent
Indeed. It's 8 minutes long, but it could go on forever... x
Couldn’t agree more! Reminds me of Simple Minds Hunter & the Hunted. Transcendent af👍🤯
A great, matter of fact comment (s). Thanks*
TREE- MENDOUS !
Most 80s songs are timeless.
Guess we're all mainly pensioners here , listening to our youth records and feeling emotional
My favorite song by The Cars
Tengo 63 años y todavía tengo esta musica metida en el cuerpo. Me encanta😅
Igual yo. Estoy adicto a esta canción
@@charlygue4637 Pues ya somos mas, el caso que llevo 40 tarareándola en mi cabeza y no sabia de quien era, después de 600gb de música descargada, hace 2 meses cuando menos lo esperaba escuchando "Drive", escuche el siguiente tema y … la encontré la joiaaaaaa !!! .

Remember when the Cars first came out. Still listen to them in 2022.
Music today...not the same. Not even close.
I am stilling listening to this great tune in 2022 Just love it.
This is one of the Cars masterpiece of all times.! Boston sounds
One of their most underrated songs. Pure brilliance, hypnotising, dreamy. Gregs best work.
True true true! It’s hypnotizing!
greg understod the exactly sound of 80s new wave
greg understood perfectly the new wave sound

The best of all of them for me.
There’s an old saying, you don’t know what you got until it’s gone. Sadly we don’t have Ben & Ric anymore, however the wonderful music they made with The Cars will live on forever. ❤
What a classic song , great band and so many awesome songs , we don't go looking for old music , we look for the the memories they carry with us , songs like this have no expiry date 🎸🎸
this song just came into my head out of the blue and I had to listen to it at full volume, its a masterpiece.
It happened to me as well about a month ago. Since then I play it in CZcams regularly...extended version, of course.
Oh my golly, in love with them forever... Ric was my dream......
Younger days...the 80s.Best time!
They don't know what they do. They do Awesome songs wich will live forever.
Meeting here in 2222👋😍🤩❤🇷🇺
That thumping sound at the start is so 1980s. It could have been taken straight out the first Terminator film.
Ben&ric! Rest in Peace..❤2 Legends who will live on ... superb! music ....
My favorite The Cars song. greetings of Peru..
WoW, the beginning of this song is so badass !
Sounds the best with headphones!!
I love the cars I love this song!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍
Great music back in the day '80's..
We miss you, Ric. Your music will play forever in our hearts. Thank you so much for years of great music.
I'm in love with this song! A masterpiece! 👌♥️

UN album da conoscere assolutamente, canzone stupenda
I never considered The Cars as one of my favorite bands until I realized I had every one of their albums. Fantastic music that never gets old.
Age 63 I am just discovering The Cars . Awesome
Beautiful song. Ric Ocasek should be in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Great songwriter❤❤😊😊.
Still one of my favorite albums. Terribly underrated.
Reminds me of Summer nights driving in the countryside with my first girlfriend in the 80's... I can almost smell the night air when this plays
Мы тоже Трахались с моей первой девушкой под эту музыку ещё в СССР !
This song has so many good parts in it that even when they are repeated again and again to create the long version, it makes it even better than the short one
Love the 80's, I am in fantasy every time I listen to this song.
I love The Cars! There are only very few rock bands like this in this universe.
I lost a girl who was some one very special. This song always reminds me of her Jackie ❤
HEARTBEAT CITY IS ON THE MOVE......
I'm 61, and I love this cars music, so talented guys, I lost 4 members of my family last year I'm hoping 2021 is a better year, This is good old times Rock N Roll !!!
No mobile phones no Facebook no social media 4 ..5 tv channels
this song removes stress.
Take my stress. Way
Oh that is a surprise to read you I'm here with a big anxiety but it's so easier with this song running
I have listened to this song for 10 years, and never got bored of it to this day, brilliant song,

I've listened to it for 38 years, also not bored with it.
The beginning like from Blade Runner movie.
My exact thoughts
Amazing. Love this band. One of my all time great tracks.
"I thought you KNEW the way, to Heartbeat City"! Come on, man!
They have to have incredible music in Heaven! RIP Ben and Rick! You’re both missed................ :(
Ric and The Cars. Just what we needed.
On such a beautiful day. 🌸
R. I. P. Ric ocasek BRILLIANT 0:18
Absolutely definitive sound of the 80s. The Cars took techno to the ultimate level, glorious synths, spot on bass driving it on with the drum beat and the guitar lead a true art form. Ric's vocals on this are beautifully absorbed into the instrumentation and the track is just perfection for me. The song lives on.
You summed it up so perfectly! Yeah they check all the boxes, I love their sound.
I have been searching for this song for too long and I found it 2 days ago. The funny part of it is that I always thought that this song was from Supertramp and I couldn't find it for ages. Thanks to my friend who had Shazam, thank you mate. One of the most amazing songs I have ever heard in my life. God bless The Cars for this magical song.

@@PocketAces2Start I agree with you. In my opinion good music is hard to find these days.
This song seems to be ahead of its time...just discovered it today...on repeat
The Cars. Top 20, all time, in my book.
I was in a record store back in the 80’s and the store owner played this song and it was comical I raced up to the counter and asked who this was and he told me it was a new Album just released by the cars and I grabbed 2 copies because I was a DJ at the time and I noticed quite a few people were getting the same album!

Que musica tan agradable, definitivamente The Cars una de las mejoras bandas ochenteras, sonidos basicos, sintetizador, gitarras, bajo y bateria y esa espectacular voz de su cantante. unica👏
I'm 62+ I loved this music when it first came out and I still do.
Wow,..That s my Favourite 👍👍👍
ESTO ES UNA OBRA DE ARTE, atemporal, no se puede uno cansar de este tema, lo peculiar es la voz tan característica del vocalista 🧡🧡🧡🧡✌️✌️✌️✌️👌👌👌👌
Great song....brings back many memories
I used drive around in LA in 90s with a cassette of cars..... still do so but now in Bangalore.
What a pleasant old song with a little bit of Alphaville within '' Oh, Jackie etc ''
What a harmonious rhythms and reverberations!
Able to listen to it again & again & again ...
this song is one atomic bomb....so hypnotic...so good
Hypnotic!
This song draws you in and wants you to continually repeat it. It is a real classic.
This is the best song in the history of the World!!
60 years old and just discovering this great cars song, and liking all the comments. Grew up with 80's music but never realized how great the cars were until recently watching their concert in summit texas in '84.
this is one of those sings that you could hear 10 or more times a day and it would be just fine
Beautiful.song for ever!!!
I get so teary eye when i listen to this song . where did the time go .

Gracias por compartir buena Música Saludos 🇲🇽🎼☮️💞👍👌
I was given brushoff the first time I heard this song. Listened to it once and again, helped me keep the mood, sad, blues, and somehow comfortable, unable to forget that girl. Wonderful 80s, wonderful teenage, wonderful The Cars. Oh mate how I love this song!!!
This and "Dangerous Type" are my absolute favorite Cars "trance" songs. Simply awesome.
Man they were good. Boston band.
Thanks, Ric. R.I.P.
Such a great song. Timeless...
