I bought this album new in 1983 & listened to it obsessively. Now, in 2024 & looking back, I wish I had a dollar everytime this foreboding album "closer" popped into my head throughout the decades as one major world crises after another has unflolded & all my brain plays is - "I live in a world of night-screams & rainbows" over & over. It never ends....does it ??
This song is perhaps even more relevant today than when you first laid it down, Ric...I "got" Beatitude when no one else seemed to be. Then again, true genius/talent is usually way ahead of its time, right ?
Thanks for sharing Ric. Pretty much wore out two cassette tapes of this album from listening to it so much. Loved every song on it. Some of your most insightful lyrics ever.

I lived in a world where Ric Ocasek shared his awed visions and artistry with us
I live in world of nightscreams and rainbows
I live in a world that is a better world because of Ric Ocasek and his music.
Played this album thin when it was new. And the songs are timeless 33 years later. Thanks for the soundtrack to my youth Ric
Stunner. Ric was unique. 🌄
I'm very glad to see Melissa playing in this live show !
Ric and Ben will always live on in our personal sound waves so play them often and loudly
Great bass line, so heavy it gives me goosebumps
We've lost a great one this weekend... poetic and hard. A rock masterpiece.

Always loved this song particularly. Ric sounds great! His voice hasn't aged a day.
Never fails to raise the fur on my arm.
I really love Melissa's bass attach and tone on this song !
