      Mi humilde opinión. Ésta canción estaba hecha para que la interpretará Ben. Su voz suave, melodiosa y todo el sentimiento que emana de su maravillosa voz. Hizo posible ésta canción logrará ser un gran éxito. Gracias querido y recordado Ben por todas las canciones que nos dejaste con tu preciosa voz. Descansa en Dios

      Apparently, according to the people who knew him, he wasn't intense at all, but a shy, quiet, sweet guy with a beautiful voice and the ability to play whatever instrument he set his mind to. He said in an interview near the end of his life that he never felt like he was the sexy band member. That was just a persona for performances and once he was off stage he was just Benny.

    This song for me represents the most important song of the eighties. A song that marked a hard period of life, a time of much individualism, selfishness and eccentricity in which all that mattered was to shine. In the end we always ended up alone waiting for someone to rescue us, pick us up in pieces and take us home.

    A totally under-rated love ballad in the history of rock. The Cars were certainly commercial...but they also had a degree of brilliance in their approach to the use of synths and how to use three keyboard players successfully...among many sound innovations. This song is beautiful, eerie, and it rocks even though it's a ballad. Absolutely brilliant...and it simply grabs my heart. The beat is incredibly unusual. I tried playing it in a cover band once...not easy...to put it mildly.
