According to Smooth Radio (and what I read long ago):
'Drive' is one of The Cars' more melancholic songs, and the majority of songs Ocasek wrote were energetic, biting, and dripping with irony.
With this ballad however, the lyrics are written from the perspective of a guy watching a girl hitting a downward spiral in her life, attempting to get her to question what's going wrong in her life.
Because of Orr's lonely, even ghostly vocal recording, lyrics like "who’s gonna pick you up when you fall?", "who’s gonna pay attention to your dreams?", and the chorus "who's gonna drive you home?" feel genuinely sympathetic and despairing.
Whether or not the narrator of is simply an old friend or a past lover, they seem resigned to the fact the answer to each of the questions they're asking is "nobody".
You did their " Just what I Needed " a few months back
Dangerous Type…best Cars song
About mental health!!
tuching song, writen n sung by v bass player, usual lead singer was rick rip
The lead singer was Benjamin Orr and Ric Ocasek met and married Paulina Poriscova (sp) who was responsible be of the supermodels of that era.
The Cars had two completely different lead singers. The pretty ballad stuff like Drive were sung by Benjamin Orr. Ric Ocasek sang in a staccato style and was more likely to sing the more fun type stuff.
The Cars have a LOT of good songs. We used their song…Hello…for a cheer when we had to welcome the other team!
BP is so literal.
