The Cars Benjamin Orr Only Vocals and Bass Version Bye Bye Love

The world is lucky that this man worked on his craft for so long, never giving up, and delivered stunning vocals and lyrics that touch people with a sort of magic. Irony.

First time I’ve heard this stem of his vocal performance. God it’s beautiful. Benjamin had an amazing voice and we are all so lucky to have had the Cars in our lifetime.

[@charlespatrick8650]

I met Orr once in the late 1980s, he was just sitting alone at a nightclub, so I went up and asked him how the tour was going along with some other small talk, think he was waiting for a couple of ladies to show up, told me he wanted to get out of the hotel for a while, he seemed kinda shy, but was a good dude

RIP to one of the GREATS!!!!

[@brettbasil]

HELLO AGAIN - and as this goes I had to listen several times. I hear the breath in there and it just hits me - hmm- this is a very live Ben breathing life into the music so well written by Ocasek and sometimes Hawkes as the rule went. But this is a performance all onto itself as melodic as it gets with the bass and Ben singing - I can honestly say this is just is a testament to what a bassist he was - isolated like this you never can hear this in the major mix with Elliot's lightning riffs Greg's keys wizardry and the speed drilling drum's David pound's by in tempo. This is so great to hear - again - THANK YOU AND a major LIKE!

I love this. Yet another one where it shows just how great a sound he got out of the bass. Love this bassline. The isolated vocals always get to me. Great voice and somehow, makes you feel closer to the human being actually singing the song, there's an intimacy.

[@benjaminorrelectricangelro5493]

That's exactly how I felt, it is interesting what a friend of mine wrote about these vocal tracks , I am sure Brett won't mind me quoting some of his comments like : " I hear the breath in there and it just hits me - hmm- this is a very live Ben breathing life into the music " and about Just What I Needed kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2GbaXpridh9qKs Brett wrote "The breaths and nuances we don't normally hear in the song - the one particular that has leaped out is the area of " Yeah , yeah so bleed me.." and downward to the end. Always a great ad-libber and the bare bones version offers more inflection on the delivery. " I think Brett said it so well and your comment about the intimacy are so true, making the listener somehow feel closer to the human being singing this song.

More information about this song is here Bye Bye Love is from The Cars' 1978 eponymous debut album. It was written by Ric Ocasek and sung by bassist Benjamin Orr. Bye Bye Love is one of The Cars' oldest songs, dating back to the mid 1970s. The song was first performed, and recorded as a demo, by the band Cap'n Swing, which featured Ocasek, Orr, and guitarist Elliot Easton as members. In this early version, the recurring keyboard theme between the verse lyrics was significantly different. The song was later revived to appear on The Cars in 1978. Although the song was not released as a single, it has received regular airplay since the album was released. Rolling Stone critic Kit Rachlis said in his review of The Cars that *the songs bristle and -- in their harsher, more angular moments (Bye Bye Love Don't Cha Stop) -- bray.* Jaime Welton, author of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, described the track as a fan favorite, praising Elliot Easton as an unsung hero, littering songs like Bye Bye Love with staggeringly good fills. AllMusic critic Greg Prato called it one of the lesser-known compositions [that] are just as exhilarating as the familiar hits on The Cars.

It has been on radio all over the world and the video has not even been finished so I feel pretty proud right now :D.

But the wonderful thing about lyrics is that the listener can interpret the lyrics to mean whatever they want them to mean,. in case you had trouble reading the clearly written lyrics here is the part :" I can't feel this way much longer Expecting to survive With all these hidden innuendos Just waiting to arrive It's such a wavy midnight And you slip into insane Electric angel rock and roller, I hear what you're playin' It's an orangy sky Always it's some other guy It's just a broken lullaby Bye bye love Bye bye love Bye bye love Bye bye love " Enough said , warmest regards from Tasmania, Tia
