The Cars - Hello Again (1984) bass cover (along with synth bass)

I don't think there's any actual bass guitar on the original recording of this track, however Benjamin Orr played bass along with the song in live settings, so that's the vibe we're going for on this cover video. I realize the bass guitar is competing with the synth bass line for the most part.
"Hello Again" is a song by American rock band the Cars from their album Heartbeat City (1984). It was released on October 15, 1984 as the album's fourth single. The song was the fourth top-20 entry from the album, reaching number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; it also reached number eight on the Hot Dance/Disco chart and number 22 on the Top Rock Tracks chart. Ric Ocasek sings lead vocals on the track.
Billboard wrote that "Hello Again" goes "back to the staccato synth beat and wry mannered style that typified the group's singles before 'Drive' changed all that."
"Hello Again" was retrospectively described as "eccentric" by AllMusic critic Greg Prato, who also cited the track as a highlight from the Heartbeat City album. Donald Guarisco, also of AllMusic, wrote "One of their strongest tracks [on Heartbeat City with experimental roots] was 'Hello Again,' a stylish new wave rocker with plenty of experimental touches." Guarisco added that it "represents the Cars striking a unique balance between their gift for pop hooks and their love of experimental sounds."
In his review of the compilation album Greatest Hits (1985), Prato felt that "Hello Again" should have been included on the album, stating "why was the title track from Heartbeat City (an unsuccessful single) included instead of the 1984 Top 20 hit 'Hello Again'?"
Lyrics:
You might've forgot
The journey ends
You've tied your knots
'N' you made your friends
You left the scene
Without a trace
One hand on the ground
One hand in space
Oh, you passed on mercy
You tried the rest
You gave your body
You gave your best
Starin' at the green door
Livin' in the sky
You don't wanna know it
You just wanna fly
uh-oh
(Hello) hello (hello again)
I know (I know you're a dreamer)
Who's under the gun
I know (I know you're a dreamer)
Who's only just begun
Hello (hello, hello again)
I said (hello) hello (hello again) yeah!
Oh, when there's nothin', nothin' left to lose
You leave it all to fade to blue
Ooh yeah
Electric
(Wanna feel) Loose
(Wanna be) Eclectic
You wanna call a truce
At the profile
Starin' at the flame
(Waitin') For the sunshine
Standin' in the rain
I said hello, (hello), hello, (hello again) hello again
I say hello, (hello) hello, (hello again)
(Hello) uh-oh (hello again)
Ooh-ooh
(Hello) hello
(Hello) uh-oh (hello) I say hello, hello, hello
(Hello)

I always love to listen to the Cars in my car. They were so great!

Very nice and such a great classic 🤘

[@schepler2]

Great, as always, Justin! This cover is especially interesting since the synth is really the dominant bass part on this song. 🤘

Thanks man. I watched a few videos of The Cars doing this song live to get some idea of what Ben Orr did in concert during this tune.
