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?

I'm driving through the hills of North Carolina in the summer of 1984 in an old Chevy with friends listening to Drive not even getting the true gist of Ben Orr's words and never thinking twice about our parents. We had all the light and dreams of our future. What we wanted to be. Who we wanted to date. Where we wanted to live and travel. But then, we became our parents and one day we wake up to life at age 56 and yearn for that summer of 1984 when everything was in slow motion and sublime. We didn't have a care in the world. Our moments were fleeting. And four decades later, we gaze back at our youth with plucked heartstrings of just how lovely those moment were. We miss the people that are gone. We miss the people we were and ask ourselves if we have truly done something with our life. In one refrain, in one melody, a song becomes our time machine and we are back for few minutes giving us pause to live forward with intention and love.

To all the people listening to this song who are battling loneliness, heartbreak, loss, addiction, mental issues or depression: at least one is thinking of you and wishing you well. You are worth every living moment. You are worth being comforted if only with this song and the heartfelt words of a stranger who is one of you. Even ships that pass in the night can see each other’s navigation lights. Stay strong, try to love yourself again, keep faith and spare a moment of your thoughts for me. Peace be with you my fellow human ❤️

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. "

@@nellythedragon1447 to expound on that more there was this particularly brief period in the 90's where everything was in the same space: culture (musical Renaissance), technology (Al Gore's invention), economy (Clinton years), and no wars of oppression (shield&storm were to protect Kuwait and we was seen as liberators again, briefly). I believe this period rivaled the massive boom the Greatest Generation produced in the Golden Age (1945-60).

I’ve never been able to put my finger on it but this song has always made me feel so very sad. Now that I’m 48, the song has a deeper meaning for me- It’s about love and grief. It’s three days until Mother’s Day 2024 in the United States. If you can, go spend the entire day with your mom, and hug her tight. You will not have her forever. Let go of any grudges you might harbor. Just. Let. Go. Those things don’t matter.

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.
