Beautiful song! The bassline is perfect: I love how it's dominant in this song; Benjamin's vocal's are perfect; the chorus is perfect; the pictures are perfect. It's such a shame there's no live version of this song. Thank you for the upload!
The more I listen to the Panorama album the more I realize that the music critics were a bunch of idiots with a shallow depth of appreciation for anything outside of the norm. They completely panned this album back in 1980-81as being “experimental” and not up to par with the previous 2 albums. This is a great song, one of the very few that has Ben and Ric sharing lead vocals. Ric doing the “just take your time it’s not too late...” BTW, something about Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes reminds me of the music during Ric's part. Misfit Kid is another great song that goes unnoticed by the average fan. Give me a complete collection of the Cars, their solo albums, plus Donnie Iris and the Cruisers and I’m set for the rest of my time here on earth. Thank you Becky219 for putting this out here for us to enjoy. I miss Ben and now we will miss Ric too :(
The lyrics on Panorama are just crazy unique out of the box. Not this song obviously but most of the others. Panorama was all new material without years to perfect it like the first two albums. Thats how one tells how good a band is - when they have to come up with new material. What a gem.
This song always seemed to be in a different vain than a lot of Cars' songs. It does have a hint of David Bowie's style hidden in there. Love it, and yeah, the critics always get it wrong.
This is a wonderful video montage of one of The Cars most underrated songs. Ben’s heavenly voice and Elliot’s guitar riffs. Can’t get enough. I agree a hint of Bowie in Ben’s vocal style.
Ben does all the speak-sung verses. Ric sings the first part of the chorus: "Just take your time/It's not too late/I'll be your mirror/So you won't hesitate." Then Ben takes over again when it gets to "I'm easy to be found..."
That's not true. Ben sings all the verses and Ric only sings the chorus which is "Just take your time, it's not too late, I'll be your mirror so you won't hesitate." ~Dutch

Amazing Benjamin we miss too much ❤ ..You was the man ..
Suede blue eyes!!! Benjamin sure did wear those eyes!!!! Loveeeeee loveeeeee loveeeeee this video and song!!!!!!
Gone almost a quarter of a century....missed everyday
R.i.p. Ben Orr & Ric Ocasek, yes I'm still listening 🎧 In 2020!!!

I actually like the way Ric sounds on his part. And Elliott's guitar, so good.
Love the pics. Also love how Ben says “blinkkkk”.
Okay this is just delicious!
They alternate lead vocals in this song but I can't tell when they switch. So similar.
Ben does all the speak-sung verses. Ric sings the first part of the chorus: "Just take your time/It's not too late/I'll be your mirror/So you won't hesitate." Then Ben takes over again when it gets to "I'm easy to be found..."
Ah handsome Ben.
great
It's not too late....💔✌
😭😭🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
He had really big blue eyes didn't he ? His were the cars headlights lol ....
This is Ric singing, not Ben
Ric only sings a few lines in the chorus. Ben sings the rest of it.
That's not true. Ben sings all the verses and Ric only sings the chorus which is "Just take your time, it's not too late, I'll be your mirror so you won't hesitate."

You sure did wear THOSE EYES 👀 😄💙❣️
