I lost my wife of 27 years on Dec 11, after she battled cancer for 4.5 years. She was only 57. I miss her desperately. We both loved these guys since 1978. Now I can't listen without losing it. Especially this song. I love you Nancy. I miss you so so much

I wonder if The Cars knew how much we loved them? They were quietly one of the best bands us kids from the 80's grew up with. I love how all the movies from the 80's included at least one song of theirs. You HAD too, they define that time, and were one of the few bands that crossed the musical boundries of rock, punk, and alternative.

Remember when the music industry had real musicians?

This song is a masterpiece.. It was a privilege for me to have lived in the 80's...

One of those underappreciated Cars songs that I love to death. Thank you for all the music. Rest in Peace.

RIP the two members of The Cars Ric Ocasek (March 23, 1944 - September 15, 2019), aged 75 Benjamin Orr (September 8, 1947 - October 3, 2000), aged 53 You both will always be remembered as legends.

Way ahead of the times. Fun. Clean cut. Humble dedicated musicians. They handled the fame, the money, the drug scene, the media, the fans, the commercialism, MTv was new, videos nusic was new. They really were 5 Talented musicians, each no more important than the other, this band really was the ultimate. Ben gone almost a quarter of a century. Ric's unexpected passing,. Thank you David, Greg and Elliot for being integral parts of the whole band, the whole scene. Thanks for growing up and old with us. THE CARS FOREVER. IMMORTAL ON FILM AND RECORDINGS FOREVER. GENERATION EXPOSURE STILL YET TO COME......

The memories bring me to tears.

Rest in peace, Ric. The Cars have been a huge part of my personal soundtrack my entire life. What a terrible loss.

Criminally underrated guitar god: Elliot Easton

I just love the line "Since you're gone, the moonlight ain't so great".

This song is perfection from the very first beat to the last! Could listen to this on repeat & never get tired of it.

RIP Ric. One of my favorite Cars tunes from my high school years.

Rip sir, thanks for the great songs.

Man I so miss the 80s vibe of happiness and chilling

These guys were light years ahead of everyone else This music Is still cutting edge All the rifts Change up s Yet still holding the beat So much talent at So young an age Thanks guys 👋

Quit worrying about how old you are and who’s still listening - this is timeless

Kid's today have no clue what good music really is.

Such a great band. Loving them 40 years now. Wish I could have seen them in concert back in the day. One of my all time favorite groups.

The Cars are often thought of as a 80's band. They were in fact a 70's band. They did define a generation. They were without a doubt, one of the best studio bands ever! Live performances weren't exciting, but it's not their fault, that just wasn't what they were about. I still can't help but listen whenever their songs are played. I think they knew how much they were appreciated.

Thank You 🙏 Ric and Benjamin Orr The Cars 🚗 Will Always Be a Big Part of My Life!!!

This band had a huge impact on my life. Right time right place.

Being young in the 80's was a great time..... Love this song, always give me chills when I hear it, one of the 80's best songs. So many good memories.

One of the greatest bands ever!

The cars were ahead of their time , 🐐's

man the cars are one of my favorite bands, glad I was lucky enough to grow up in the 80's

Who's listening to this Gem in July 2024? 😊

My only complaint about the Cars is they had 13 more years while Ben was alive and they could have given us maybe another 4 or 6 albums.

RIP Ric. Reunited with Ben Orr in heaven. Thanks for your gift of music.

These guys are so underrated. Top 10 band all time

I would not trade my High School years 1981-85 for anything except for the chance to do it all one more time. Ric and his band mates played as huge of a role in teen life during the iconic 80's.

Your songs would make me smile even on a bad day. They're truly magic. And this one is among the very top of my list. RIP Ric.

My favorite Cars song. So happy Ric lived to see The Cars inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame... RIP

Back when MTV actually showed really good videos. Thanks Rick for getting me thru puberty. RIP

My favorite Cars Song!!!❤❤

Since you're gone The nights are gettin' strange Since you're gone Well, nothing's makin' any sense Since you're gone I stumbled in the shade Since you're gone Everything's in perfect tense, well I can't help it When you fall apart And I can't help it Guess you better start That is forgettin' about you (since you're gone) Since you're gone Nights are gettin' strange (since you're gone) Since you're gone Thrownin' it all away (since you're gone) Since you're gone The nights are gettin' strange (since you're gone) Since you're gone Thrownin' it all away I can't help it Everything's a mess I can't help it You're so treacherous When it comes, to tenderness (Since you're gone) I can't help it Everything's a mess I can't help it You're so treacherous Oh, where's that tenderness? Since you're gone I missed the peak sensation (Since you're gone) Since you're gone I took the big vacation (Since you're gone) Well, never feel sedate Well, the moonlight ain't so great (Since you're gone) Since you're gone Well, I've thrown it all away (since you're gone) When the night Strange I've thrown it all away (since you're gone) Well, since you're gone (since you're gone) Since you're gone Since you're gone (since you're gone) I've thrown it all away (since you're gone)

finally the cars in the2018 rock and roll hall of fame long over due..

RIP Mr Ocasek...talk about the soundtrack of my childhood, thanks for all the memories of simpler times. 💙

These guys were fn awesome. One of the first groups that made me fall in love with music.

I'm having a blast playing these songs for my 5 grandkids, hits from the 70's, 80's, 90's! Thanks for the video❤👍🏻

Everything this band did was just so f-ing COOL! Rip Ric

Just glad I was a teenager in the 80's great videos and music!

What high-school student didnt love The Cars in the 70s, The Cars in 78 and Candy'O in 79 was huge albums! Great song!

Ric was incredible. He knew just what song to lead & sing & what song for Ben to be lead vocals. What a mastermind. The songs The Cars put out will last a lifetime. Thank you to the band The Cars. Well done

R I P glad they got to see the hall of fame induction

RIP Ric and Ben!! Thanks for leaving us with the memories of all the talent you gave us! So sad you both will be missed!!

My wife died three years ago on 12 of Dec 2020. I love the eighties middle class home. Home is what I lost when she left. This song helped me not take my own life those first few years. I miss you Nancy B.

Wow this dazzling awesome rock song, this emotionally wounding reawakening of past memories, still alive and instantly relatable.

One of the best guitar solos by Elliot Easton.

My favorite Cars song....omg I love the sound of that guitar

A great band that doesn't get played enough anymore

Just a masterpiece. The video is funny but the music is just wow. As a drummer and at 54 I appreciate these guys more and more everyday…grew up on them. My Beatles

Ric, may you R.I.P. 😔 The Car's music is legendary 80's music. Thanks Ric for all the music you gave us brother. You are a legend! AND WILL GO WATCH "LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN" BECAUSE THERES ALOT OF YOUR MUSIC ON THAT MOVIE SOUNDTRACK!!! ...Thanks for all the good times music CARS!!!

RIP Rick Ocasek. I heard this song playing in the supermarket Saturday and woke up with it in my head Sunday morning. This was before hearing of his death.

The guitar is fantastic.

Probably my favorite Cars song. The lyric ‘… the moonlight ain’t so great’ and ‘took the big vacation’ say it so vividly. Easton is such a great guitar player.

I love everything about this band. This song is awesome. They make the MOST out of EVERY SINGLE INSTRUMENT. Even the bass line in this song, which isn't complex, adds so much to the finished product. And, those guitar solos are freaking awesome. BTW, miss Ben Orr like crazy. RIP Ben.

80's jewel , the unique vocals of Ric Ocasek. I want my MTV , hahaha.

The Cars were the best in the 70’s and 80’s, graduated in 1985. Unbelievable sounds and unique and awesome music.

This song is a masterpiece.. It was a privilege for me to have lived in the 80's... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Rest in Peace Ric Ocasek & Benjamin Orr.

This is one of the bands that defined my life as a teenager in the early 1980's. In the mid 1990's I was privileged to live and manage a Gramercy Park, NY restaurant where they were frequent visitors. I spent time with Paulina (Mrs Ocasek) at the Union Square dog run where she would bring their dog Dexter (a beautiful King Cavalier Spaniel) to play. They were and always will be a beautiful memory in an unforgettable time of my life. I love The Cars, and I will forever cherish having my path cross theirs, even briefly. I frequently would see Ric at the local grocery store buying eggs and milk and cereal for his family. I told him how his band and his music shaped my life. He was gracious and courteous and was not at all offended by being recognized. My heart goes out to his family at a time which can only be described as a devastating loss. His music will live on forever.

One of the very few rock bands that simply cannot be imitated ,copied or duplicated. Their sound is recognizable immediately. RIP Ben and Ric

Love that initial guitar line.

The Cars are as iconic a band to me as there was in the late 70's to the mid 80's. When memories of high school come up, The Cars music and vibe are right there with those memories and when i here a song by them some high school memory always follows. My teenage days in the midwest theme song at my H.S. was "Let the good times roll". The link with Fast times at Ridgemont High soldified there history with teens everywhere and not just the midwest as i had presumed. Moving in stereo is to The Cars what Tom Saywer is to Rush. The irony of 2 of the best bands in that same era still being played today on stations yet taking so long to be inducted in R & R Hall of Fame is almost irritating if you really think about it. Both bands also showed longevity so not to mistake them with other 1 or 2 album bands. I think i was pretty lucky to grow up listening to such talented musicians/writers with there own unique styles and attitudes

RIP Ric Ocasek! There was a mom named Sancha Gahn in my hometown, and we kids always sang her name to the tune of "Since You're Gone" 😀😢💔

Never thought I would look back at My childhood was fondness, but sure damn wish I could go back. On a way more sincere and heart-breaking note, to the gentleman below who lost his wife...hugs.💔😔🙏

So much musical hooks in this song when you are six years old and discovering what could be music for your future. With dad and friends making a big night… vinyl feelings… i will never forget my dad and Ric… and the art of the vinyl… i was holding it for few days and never coming back… memories… now my dad has passed away and it never leaves my childhood mind. Now, I think that Shake it up was such a masterpiece…

Ben. Since your gone, the Cars are not the same. Since your gone our hearts go unexplained. Since your gone. The world is less a flame, since your gone, I can't explain.

perfect 1981 was a whole different era miss those days and music nothing is for real today...even people have changed so much sad to say.....have a good day- thanks utube

this is their legacy left to us behind....i love the cars even im in 90's i love their kind of new wave music....REST IN PEACE MR. RICK AND BENJAMIN....

This is musical creativity at its highest. Ric was the purest of pure genius.

RIP. Now you're with Ben. Thank you for all the happy memories of watching your videos on MTV.

RIP Ric Ocasek, thank you for the tunes that can be jammed generation to generation!

A masterpiece

Rest easy Ric.. a part of my childhood died with you.. my father is a country man and I’m a metal head.. YOU GUYS were what started a bond and from that grew to something amazing... thank you for that..

There will never be another band like the Cars. Their sound was unique to rock music and no one can duplicate it. I saw the Cars in the Omni in Atlanta in 1980 and it was an awesome concert. I've been a Cars fan since Moving In Stereo.

RIP Ric One of my favorites growing up. What a talent

Cars are Hall of Fame material

Who starts a song with tap dancing for percussion? Only a genius group.

The music in Heaven just keeps on getting better and better. Unfortunately, we're stuck here on earth and the music just keeps on getting shittier and shittier! RIP, Ric and thanks for the great 80's memories.

Only a REAL MAN can play a pink guitar wearing a powder blue suit. RESPECT!

The Cars! 👊🏼 Lovin' these legends. Always and forever on my playlist. - 90s kid

I was 15 when this song came out, and I did not really appreciate it. THE CARS were a phenomenal band, but back then there were sooooo many great bands. We were so spoiled. Long Live The Cars, long live Ric and Benjamin. Rest in peace, Rock and Roll.

Soooo many amazing songs!! So many memories growing up with The Cars! RIP to one of the greats!

R I P Ric, your legend lives on through the legacy of great music you left us. You will be missed.

the guitar solo is just perfect. one of those perfect note for note solos. lends itself well to a perfect song

The Cars’ music still appeals to me, some forty years later.

RIP Ric Ocasek. I am sure you have now been reunited with Benjamin Orr.

Just another reminder time stops for no one. RIP Ric.

The Cars BEST song, by far. Grossly underappreciated compared to their bigger hits. Everything about this song is stellar, the music arrangement and vocals. Superb~

Elliott Easton's incredible one string solo. He taped down the other five strings to prevent unwanted notes, plugged into a stack, cranked it up and let rip.

R.I.P Ric Ocasek 😔 MY mother showed me this song in May me and my daughter had been jammin this oh how much I have love for oldies ..... 🧡

RIP Ric. Seems too soon to say goodbye. You gave so much to the world of music. ❤

Got a 78 Trans Am for making it through High school!;The first 8 track I bought was the Cars! Big part of my life 🙏

God Rest the Souls of all the musicians who entertained us for many many years....... The Cars best song.....❤

One of my favorites. Thank you Ric Ocasek. 😢♥️

Since you're gone. I had to say goodbye and thanks for the music.

Darnn these guys were/are fantastic. Always loved that heel-clicking intro.

This song defines the 80's, the beauty, creativity and the golden age of movies and music... It was a privilege for me to have lived in the 80's...
