1987 after my senior prom my girlfriend and I went for a drive and parked by the lake in our small town. We were talking about all the fun we had had that year. Just when I said to her it's getting late and I better drive you home this song literally started playing on the radio station l was tuned to. It was a blissful drive home. I should have married that girl, but stupid me wanted out of that small town. Now, I deeply want to get back to a small town and a slower pace.
This music makes me remember of a girl who was always involved with wrong guys. I loved her very much and I tried to bring her to me. We were very close friends, but she never listened to me. Twenty years later happened we meet again. I am married, she is divorced. She turned into a totally different person. Not even close to that sweet girl I knew in my teenage. But, when this music plays, the images of a tender past that's all it brings to mind. We never talked again.
I was hoping you lived in the UK ..? Great voice & great skills ! I'm currently working on a small project, my music partner is from the cutting crew ! (Colin farley) I've written a track (w.i.p) music wise and am looking for a male vocalist..... and you would be perfect! Feel free to contact me Regards Paul
Dude. Let me just say I was wrong. With Ric Ocasek recently passing, I've been listening to a lot of the Cars. Being 48, I remember them well. Anyway, your video came up as recommended & my initial reaction was, "Let's hear how much this guy butchers it." Couldn't have been more wrong. You did a great job. No one could ever touch Ben Orr's version, but this was an excellent tribute. Well done ~ & sorry to have misjudged you.
This is insanely great! The only thing that keeps wondering in my mind is what's wrong with those 7 people that disliked this video? What happened to they? Are they dead inside?
Absolutely brilliant, the music is just as good as the original, and you have matched up the sounds perfectly. As for the vocals.... Perfection!! Sang just as well as the late, great Ben Orr, he would be so proud, a great tribute to him 😊
Это очень здорово!! Музыкальный парень, прямо профессионал своего дела. Хорошее звучание и голос!! Бенджамин Орр радуется с небес таким продолжателям и поклонникам.🙏🙏❤❤
It's impressive to see so many rare keyboards in perfect condition!! Congratulations !! you have the legendary keyboards that the top players used at the time!!
You are absolutely fantastic, I mean every word, seeing your keyboards made me cry all I ever wanted were several keyboards, and I had to move and the men who were supposed to put a lot of my stuff in storage lost 2 keyboards and at least I have one, I play by ear, and music is my 1st love,
Olá Clemens esqueci de mencionar no outro comentário realmente o que foi a década de 80 para muitos de nós a melhor a inesquecível época de todos os tempos hoje só saudades saudades a cada visualizações aqui em seu canal musical e como voltar numa época de jovens talentos musicais e músicas de qualidade infelizmente esse tempo passou para nossas geração mais a música estará presente em nossas vidas hoje é sempre parabéns amigo sucesso syce
Geez! Not a single song that isn't done incredibly well. You are just something else. As a kid growing up in the 80s and now in my low 50s, you have nailed this genre of music. Stunning! Keep up the great work! You are a pro!
Olá Clemens ótima tarde pra você e seus seguidores em primeiro lugar gostaria de parabenizar você por resgatar essa inesquecível música desse magnífico grupo musical The Cars com essa inesquecível música Drive parabéns
So close to the original. You are so musically talented. The music and vocals are breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your skills and overdosing me with your beautiful music....
Are you sure you’re from this era? Every single video you make takes me back over 35 years ago, flooding my mind with memories I hold onto and cherish so deeply, you’re absolutely incredible, please don’t ever stop, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤️
OMG !!!! You did such an amazing job to one of my favourite 80s pop tracks ever. My favourite part of this (I guess) is how you captured the keys and synth that have haunted my heart since I was five. I'm sure Ben Orr must be smiling at this. Wow !
Your version is incredibly good. You meticulously worked out every single detail and special sound. Big compliment. You should perform on international stages, my friend.
Decembre 1984. I was driving home a girl I was madly in love with during a snow storm. This was the song playing on the radio at that moment. Thanks, This is the best cover I heard. Greetings from Quebec.
The Cars "Drive" lovers... Watch & listen to this ! Thumbs up & thanks for this outstanding vocal & instrumental performance on these electronic beauties... Keep sharing your passion & multiple talents through these delightful projects ! ;-)
Perhaps the best cover of the song that ever existed. I almost fell for someone because of this cover not too long ago about two years back. Something I will always cherish for the rest of my life despite the fact that it never worked out I can see that we are about to become best friends as I learned so much about myself in the process by controlling my ego and always keep it in check. It was 1984 all over again when the music was better and the people were happier. Thank you for this, again and again!
This video brings tears to my eyes, as well as a moment of clarity. True Confession. I was struggling with temporary insanity when I parted with my Jupiter 6 and Prophet 5 and kept the DX7 instead… STUNNING COVER. KUDOS!!!
Man hope that studios in a impenetrable vault. The gear of a dream. Fun tools to those that can afford it, priceless fantasies to those that can’t. Great work.
Im gonna learn this myself or die trying...I KNEW I was right and all the other videos showing how to play this re wrong. this guy has all the parts correct.
At the end of the "fly fly" interlude, the Bflat, B, Dflat, are actually played as Bflat, B octave, Dflat octave with rolling notes, if that makes sense. AWESOME cover though
Excellent voice and cover! I love this tune. I saw them live a couple years ago. It's sad they lost their bassist. They were playing along to his track and got off during "Moving in Stereo". So they played it again. Nobody cared, we were just happy to hear the song again. :) Keep up the great channel. I'm glad I found it. We have a lot of the same taste in music and synthesizers. Take care, Sam.
Look at all those old synths! Beyond just a mere cover, this is a perfect recreation of the original. (I have a mint condition Chroma Polaris, last analog synthesizer, if you need one for your collection.)
Actually this song was never my into my personal taste. But now that I am 38 years older and increasingly remembering my teenager, the way you played and sings it with high emotions makes me love it. Thanks!
You brother is WOW WOW 🎤 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏾👌🏾🤘🏾🤟🏾💯😁😀♉️🤴🏾🏆 I really wish I could play the piano 🎹 👈🏾 that song will play forever and forever and forever and always until the end of time just amazing 👏🏽 ❤️ 💫🕊😁
Gorgeous. Ben Orr smiling looking down. I hope you've watched the LiveAid Philly "Drive". That Elka SYnthex. I know it didn't make an appearance but wow.
I loved when Ben Orr did this...but this is just wonderful!
Рік тому+1
Meu amigo! Você manda muito bem! Eu amo os sintetizadores dos anos 80! É meu sonho ter instrumentos como o Prophet 5, Jupiter e Oberheim, mas eu tenho o DX7 FDII. Você está de parabéns pelo cover! 10/10!
man, i love this song, although i didn't know what it was called nor who did it... in just 1 second i went from "ehhh" to "woooooo yeah". this was another banger!

I agree!!! 👏👏
I know when he started singing I was hooked.
This is the best cover of this song I have *ever* heard.
This man.... I simply cannot watch this man without smiling and pouring myself a whiskey. Work day cancelled, again.
Makes me turn on my heart light.
Shout out to Studio EP-Service in the Netherlands for letting me use their awesome vintage synth room to record this cover!
I was hoping you lived in the UK ..?
Great voice & great skills !
I'm currently working on a small project, my music partner is from the cutting crew ! (Colin farley)

Feel free to contact me

Aaaaaaah,...I was about to say how the hell did you get all that great gear!! Beautiful cover mate. This song means a lot to me. 😌
dude that was awesome
Very good from a portuguese fan of your covers, by the way which country came from...USA, the Netherlands ...
Simply beautiful! Great effort.
He's got all the keyboards that were the pioneer in building the songs of the past to 80 and so on ..not mentioning his talent ..wow ..
Absolutely superb....
Thanks Jason, much appreciated!

@@ClemensWennersMusic Your covers are awesome! I watch them everyday.
Sehr sehr professionell und Originaltreu. Gefällt mir sehr gut Clemens!
Good musician good singer
This is insanely great!
The only thing that keeps wondering in my mind is what's wrong with those 7 people that disliked this video? What happened to they? Are they dead inside?
They never drove away from home...
Trolls on everything these days. That’s what is wrong with them.
They got no life, lol.
Probably some furious Z-gens😝
Master piece sounds like the original and even greater 😮
Great job! Heartbeat City really is an overlooked album from the 80’s.
Absolutely brilliant, the music is just as good as the original, and you have matched up the sounds perfectly. As for the vocals....
Perfection!! Sang just as well as the late, great Ben Orr, he would be so proud, a great tribute to him 😊

The world needs more reverb. Perfection
It's impressive to see so many rare keyboards in perfect condition!!
Congratulations !! you have the legendary keyboards that the top players used at the time!!
Solid cover
R.I.P Ric Ocasek ♥️

Awesome Great !!!!
Por que que um artista assim não fica conhecido mundialmente ? Parabéns, você canta muito. Rick Ocasek e Benjamin Orr teriam orgulho disso...
2:07 "... nothing's wrong..." with this cover version. ;))
Of course Drive, perfect choice! Another hit, Clemens!
Thanks mate!
Clemens Wenners - the King Of Covers. 👍

Why would anybody give thumbs down to this masterpiece?? It really pissises me off really bad 😡
Two reasons, they are idiots and they are completely jealous of this guys unbelievable raw talent.
NAILED that "when you shake" line at 2:46. NAILED it!!
This is honestly amazing, I was convinced I was listening to the original when I first clicked on it. Your content is great!
this is my fave song ever
So close to the original. You are so musically talented. The music and vocals are breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your skills and overdosing me with your beautiful music....

Wow! No 1 after original The Cars. Bravo!!!
Jayyysus. I was 13 years old. You just transported me back to my childhood. It was truly captivating. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

"whos gonna hold you down when you.....shake" you perfectly delivered
... it's never left in the past; merely driven time after time to be with the present...
spot on....sounds more authemtic than todays synths...
This is not a cover - it's a photocopy! Brilliant!
Dear Clemens, for me this is the best cover on UA-cam! You are a huge talent, should make music professionally.
Que talento incrível, curtindo demais...
Um grande abraço daqui do Brasil... 🇧🇷
Muitos profissionais escondidos atrás da cortina da fama. Parabéns aqui do Brasil
This song is one of my all-time favorites and you interpret it in a great way. Congratulations, greetings from Mexico City.
Incredible. You'd be hard pressed to tell this from the original. Excellent work.
Ça me rappelle la grande époque des séries des années 80.
C'est magnifique.
The best on UA-cam planet. Wow! Bravo!
I shut my eyes and you take me back to my early 20s excellent job.....Bravo!!!
Decembre 1984. I was driving home a girl I was madly in love with during a snow storm. This was the song playing on the radio at that moment. Thanks, This is the best cover I heard.

For so many reasons this cover makes me happy. It’s a nice bonus to see all this classic gear being put to good use.

Excelente bem parecido com o original.
This video brings tears to my eyes, as well as a moment of clarity. True Confession. I was struggling with temporary insanity when I parted with my Jupiter 6 and Prophet 5 and kept the DX7 instead… STUNNING COVER. KUDOS!!!
Man hope that studios in a impenetrable vault.
The gear of a dream.
Fun tools to those that can afford it, priceless fantasies to those that can’t.
Great work.
Que buena interpretacion de tu parte de este clasico DRIVE The Cars 1984...el recordado Benjamin Orr por siempre. Saludos from Lima-Perú
Im gonna learn this myself or die trying...I KNEW I was right and all the other videos showing how to play this re wrong. this guy has all the parts correct.
YES! A real Jupiter-6, prophet-5, DX-7, OBX? This is a keyboard player's dream! And props for being as exactly authentic as possible.
So awesome! I'm 12 years old again hearing this on the radio back in elementary school on Long Island New York city.
Was watching Your Place or Mine on Netflix and this song was played in the movie, best cover so far!
Absolute authentic "Drive" Cover. Very Awesome. I'm a Son of the 80ies, I know the original Cars Song very well.😊
At the end of the "fly fly" interlude, the Bflat, B, Dflat, are actually played as Bflat, B octave, Dflat octave with rolling notes, if that makes sense. AWESOME cover though
Besides great talent.the goodly gentleman is using the vintage synths used in the 80s.nothing else could give that unique sound.
Excellent voice and cover! I love this tune. I saw them live a couple years ago. It's sad they lost their bassist. They were playing along to his track and got off during "Moving in Stereo". So they played it again. Nobody cared, we were just happy to hear the song again. :) Keep up the great channel. I'm glad I found it. We have a lot of the same taste in music and synthesizers. Take care, Sam.
That’s a cool story! Thanks Sam!!
This hands down is one of the best home versions of this song The synths actually sound better than the original song. Thanks for sharing.
Very impressed by your talent as a musician and a singer but also by your sound quality in recording. It sounds beautiful... congratulations!
This is just stunning!! Amazing version of this great song!! Love it!!!!
Clemens. What a great performance!. As good as the Cars. No exaggeration!. I am shocked.
Look at all those old synths! Beyond just a mere cover, this is a perfect recreation of the original.
(I have a mint condition Chroma Polaris, last analog synthesizer, if you need one for your collection.)
Oberheim.Jupiter. Elka......everyday must feel like Christmas!!! ✌🏻🎶🎹🎹🎹
Mantendo a chama de Ben - e de Ric - mais acesa que nunca... Drive emociona sempre... e para sempre
Your videos are all amazing well done!
Actually this song was never my into my personal taste. But now that I am 38 years older and increasingly remembering my teenager, the way you played and sings it with high emotions makes me love it. Thanks!

Blijft een schitterende song, vooral in jouw uitvoering Clemens.
What can I say... Who's gonna drive you home... Cars 1984! Once of my favourite.... Amazing cover! Thx!!!!😀
He's got so much talent and he sounds just like the guy from the cars .. love it
man, i love this song, although i didn't know what it was called nor who did it... in just 1 second i went from "ehhh" to "woooooo yeah". this was another banger!
WOW! You nailed it Clemens! I've never heard Drive sound even remotely as close to the actual recording by the Cars as this one did! Great job!!
This song touches the heart !!!! Thanks for your musical touch!!!
