    Lyrics:
    Who's gonna tell you when
    It's too late?
    Who's gonna tell you things
    Aren't so great?
    You can't go on
    Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
    Who's gonna drive you home
    Tonight?
    Who's gonna pick you up
    When you fall?
    Who's gonna hang it up
    When you call?
    Who's gonna pay attention
    To your dreams?
    Who's gonna plug their ears
    When you scream?
    You can't go on
    Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
    Who's gonna drive you home
    Tonight?
    Who's gonna hold you down
    When you shake?
    Who's gonna come around
    When you break?
    You can't go on
    Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
    Who's gonna drive you home
    Tonight?
    You know you can't go on
    Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
    Who's gonna drive you home
    Tonight?

    This is one of those songs that defines a time in my life. I was 21, pregnant and working at the Pizza Hut at night and attending college in the day. After we shut down at night I would play this song on the jukebox while cleaning. I remember the feeling of not knowing what my life was going to be like after the birth of my child. So many unknowns for the future.
    33 years later my daughter was pregnant with her second child and suffered an AVM rupture in her brain. She coded 5 times. Was in the hospital 2 months and we expected her at first to not survive the night then, as she pulled through we expected severe brain damage.
    I heard this song again while driving to and from the hospital. Again so many unknowns for the future.
    3 years later her mind is sound as ever but she has visual and balance problems. He baby is perfect.
    Music has the special ability to connect us instantly with a time, place and emotion. I have more than one song that represents something but this one, this one carries a special feeling of "waiting for the unknown. "

      For me the 80s was my mom chain smoking cigarettes in the car with her window cracked, getting McDonald’s almost every day when my dad was deployed, cartoons, playing outside til the street lights came on. I used to try singing like MaDonna! I was just a little kid then. Hair was big! Everyone looks back nostalgically at different decades. I honestly am glad I grew up before social media, etc... There was dial-up by the time I was in 4th grade, but it wasn’t common to have. There were “car phones,” but I never saw them. And the giant 80’s mobile phone looked like a giant walk-in-talkie. 😂 It wasn’t that great honestly. But it’s better than what my kids are growing up with today.

    My dad used to love this song, he had it on cassette he'd play in his car really often. I've had this on Spotify since I got the app.. my dad passed away in July 2021.. he was diagnosed with cancer on the very last stage and the doctors couldn't do anything cause it had spread to his lungs, kidneys, liver, bladder and arteries..
    This always reminds me of him now.. brings tears to my eyes cause how much he cared.. He'd always picked me from work, dropped me off and we'd talk about everything and anything. He'd stay up late waiting for me when I was out for dinner "who's gonna tell you, it's too late"
    He would talk to me about the issues we faced financially "who's gonna tell you things, aren't so great"
    And now that he's gone I can't "go on thinking nothing's wrong"
    He was always there when I was broken "who's gonna pick you up when you fall"
    "Who's gonna pay attention to your dreams?" He never had me spend anything for anything other than the things that I needed and wanted I had everything I wanted cause he was there for me. For us. 😭
    He paid for my education all the way through to the end. And I feel like I wasn't even able to make up for it.
    I'm happy I got to spend his last days right by his side. He held my hand so tight every time in the last few days, he was unable to speak but I always felt like he wanted to say something to me.. May his soul rest in peace. ❤️😭
    This song shall forever remind me of him. Even though I know that's not the intended meaning behind the video or the song but that's the beauty of the song, it could translate to a specific thing for the different audience.

Then I found out that it was Paulina Porizkova.
