Recorded at the no longer Steinway Hall on 57th in NYC. A most historic, iconic hall. Miss it beyond words. These two so graced the hall with their presence and ungodly talent..... Their open rendition with the Model C of this eternally haunting piece nearly brings on tears. Words escape me. They simply do.
This song is just a palette of genius harmony and creative musical song writing. A pleasure for my ears. ETBTG are the perfect paring . The really do it right..
Have you ever heard the expression that you can change a thing by looking at it? Well, you wouldn't want a bunch of people looking at ETBG, changing it, messing it up, would you? It's better this way.
Ben is a brilliant writer/producer/arranger. The first time I saw them live was on their 1st US tour. That band was tight, and Tracey & Ben sounded wonderful.
One of my favorite songs stripped back to a bare performance... beautiful! 🚗 _"You see some days I find the old ways frighten me "_ _"too easily... I leave my key and say I'm too young..."_
Oh loverboy To you I belong But maybe one day you'll wake and you'll find me gone But loverboy If you call me home I'll come driving I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn Oh loverboy I know you too well And all of my lonely secrets To you I tell THe highest of highs The lowest of lows I'll come driving I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn Stretching away as far as my eyes can see Deserts and darkness, my hand on the wheel loverboy, please call me home A girl can get lonely out here on the road You see Some days I find the old ways Frighten me too easily I leave my key and say "I'm too young" But loverboy If you call me home I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn
Tracy Thorn has THE sexiest voice in the world. Put it together with great music and lyrics and it's something really special. But don't overlook Ben's voice which perfectly complements hers. He is very underated.
Dave Mclean they’re both sooooo good!! Ugh!! I can’t get over this version of the song!! Just discovered Language of Life moments ago and Driving has been on repeat.
Agreed - Ben's voice is very underrated. He's finally getting his own recognition with his recent trio of solo albums. Can't wait to see him on tour next month!
What a gorgeous song. This is the first time I've heard it done with just an acoustic piano. Tracy and Ben are perfection together. And not only does she have a soulful voice, but she's just so adorable! I'd like to just hold her for a couple of minutes. ❤
Minha banda favorita! A voz de Tracey é hipnótica! Me deixa embreagado. Amo de mais!! Princpalmente os cds Amplified Heart (1994), Walking wounded (1996) e Temperamental (1999)
Just think all of the singers today are using autotune and any and everything they can use to try to make them sound better and they still can't sing the way Tracy sings.
Yes, and as Ben affectionately calls him, "the boy"🤣. He's about three years younger than the twin girls. I suspect Ben is very glad to have a son to raise - he grew up with two brothers and a sister.
This is an absolutely entertaining song with very talented artists. Does anyone know where or what the background location is where this video was shot. It is very creative. Thanks for Tracy and Ben for giving us so much!
One of my favourite EBTG song. Apparentely so simple to play and sing. Pure beauty. Mid 80's. And after 35 years I'm still in love with Tracey voice!
@@afrose71 He said Tracey not language of love. :)
The amount of talent from two people and a piano is immeasurable. The mood captured here …

it had a very cool front window curved shape as i recall to it looked like no window at all
A perfect interesting and yet beautiful comment.
This song is such a masterpiece
The shift to maj7 at 1:13 makes my heart explode. ❤️
Absolutely 😍💗🌸
Tracy is one special vocalist!
Beautiful. No other words needed.
Few songs can get to your very soul like Driving
This song is just a palette of genius harmony and creative musical song writing. A pleasure for my ears. ETBTG are the perfect paring . The really do it right..
Gosh this takes me back. Shedding tears for all the years. Seen them in concert many times the lyrics and melodies so entwined.
Ben Watt’s such an underrated pianist.
My God, what a rendition!
cant believe this only has 31 thousand views. people really do not know what real pure good music is anymore. sad.
Have you ever heard the expression that you can change a thing by looking at it? Well, you wouldn't want a bunch of people looking at ETBG, changing it, messing it up, would you? It's better this way.
The melody, the lyrics, Tracey's voice, Ben's piano playing... the perfect song in all ways
Such a beautiful version of one of their best songs
Oh God.... Tracy has such a voice and Ben is so good.... I love them.
Simply incredible. Perhaps Tracy's perfect vocal range. 👌 so nice.
They are the perfect match in every sense 💜! So excited that they’ve released a new album. A fan sense the 80’s….
Wow her voice is hypnotic with his playing. Love their work.
Jim my hall are they still a couple,?
Yes, they're married with three kids. They're very private about it.
I'm in love with EBTG. In love with Tracey's voice ... and this song!
plus great arrangements, and Ben's piano or guitar playing! Absolute favs
Ben is a brilliant writer/producer/arranger. The first time I saw them live was on their 1st US tour. That band was tight, and Tracey & Ben sounded wonderful.
Music at it's best. Beautifully touching.
One of my favorite songs stripped back to
a bare performance... beautiful! 🚗
_"You see some days I find the old ways
frighten me "_
_"too easily... I leave my key and say I'm too young..."_
Tracy's vibrato is just sublime
Killer track just brilliant
This is crazy... it makes me remind someone .....and still...
Love that voice! Been a fan since she was with The Marine Girls (mid 80s). I buy everything she records.
My personal second best song of my life.
Ben is a genius at composing music. He put this together. I have zero doubts.
Yes. He wrote it.
Oh loverboy
To you I belong
But maybe one day you'll wake
and you'll find me gone
But loverboy
If you call me home
I'll come driving
I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn
Oh loverboy
I know you too well
And all of my lonely secrets
To you I tell
THe highest of highs
The lowest of lows
I'll come driving
I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn
Stretching away as far as my eyes can see
Deserts and darkness, my hand on the wheel
loverboy, please call me home
A girl can get lonely out here on the road
You see
Some days I find the old ways
Frighten me too easily
I leave my key and say
"I'm too young"
But loverboy
If you call me home
I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn
Tracy's amazing voice...
That Steinway sounds gorgeous too...
Wow! Just wow! Such a wonderful song. I love Tracy and Ben. Nostalgic
Two gifted singers and a piano ."That's what music is all about, Charlie Brown."...
The simplicity makes it even more compelling.

@@hardcoreclassy6976 I can relate...can't get it out of my head now.
Agreed - Ben's voice is very underrated. He's finally getting his own recognition with his recent trio of solo albums. Can't wait to see him on tour next month!
And they are married. Damn, what a perfect couple they are!

Sou apaixonado por EBTG. Apaixonado pela voz da Tracey...e por essa música! ♥♥♥

EBTG OMG.......nothing else to say
Wowww...3 powerhouses; Ben, Tracey, and a Steinway Concert Battleship at what appears to be the Steinway and Sons factory....awesome!!!
I took my future wife to a EBTG concert in Tokyo on our first date...
love this comment.
Seiji Oyasu Lucky Lucky couple... I envy you both😉
Well it has been several years later.... How are things now?
She's so lucky!!!
@@jaimhaas5170 solid is my guess!
❤
Thank you. This is beautiful
I do concur with Dave that Tracy has one of the sexiest and soothing voice that is out there. Ben makes the perfect complement
Idole
Love it!!
A boy can get lonely out here on his own
Brilliant!
Glad to see there are still a few of us left who can tell.
Just think all of the singers today are using autotune and any and everything they can use to try to make them sound better and they still can't sing the way Tracy sings.
Pure class
Does everyone know their history??? WOW! They even have twin girls together.
Yes, and as Ben affectionately calls him, "the boy"🤣. He's about three years younger than the twin girls. I suspect Ben is very glad to have a son to raise - he grew up with two brothers and a sister.

I was wondering the same thing, looks like the middle of an office
Has this ever happened to anyone? Did you come drivin?
