Shout out to Studio EP-Service in the Netherlands for letting me use their awesome vintage synth room to record this cover!

(Colin farley) I've written a track (w.i.p) music wise and am looking for a male vocalist..... and you would be perfect! Feel free to contact me Regards Paul

1987 after my senior prom my girlfriend and I went for a drive and parked by the lake in our small town. We were talking about all the fun we had had that year. Just when I said to her it's getting late and I better drive you home this song literally started playing on the radio station l was tuned to. It was a blissful drive home. I should have married that girl, but stupid me wanted out of that small town. Now, I deeply want to get back to a small town and a slower pace.

[@mgalego4729]

This music makes me remember of a girl who was always involved with wrong guys. I loved her very much and I tried to bring her to me. We were very close friends, but she never listened to me. Twenty years later happened we meet again. I am married, she is divorced. She turned into a totally different person. Not even close to that sweet girl I knew in my teenage. But, when this music plays, the images of a tender past that's all it brings to mind. We never talked again.

Thanks Jason, much appreciated!

[@cleretfernandes5972]

He's got all the keyboards that were the pioneer in building the songs of the past to 80 and so on ..not mentioning his talent ..wow ..

[@DoctorJohnSmith9]

The late great Ben Orr must be smiling. Another great, spot-on cover!

[@ClemensWennersMusic]

Thanks John!

[@wallcrawler1]

Dude. Let me just say I was wrong. With Ric Ocasek recently passing, I've been listening to a lot of the Cars. Being 48, I remember them well. Anyway, your video came up as recommended & my initial reaction was, "Let's hear how much this guy butchers it." Couldn't have been more wrong. You did a great job. No one could ever touch Ben Orr's version, but this was an excellent tribute. Well done ~ & sorry to have misjudged you.

This is insanely great! The only thing that keeps wondering in my mind is what's wrong with those 7 people that disliked this video? What happened to they? Are they dead inside?

[@1980Campino]

They never drove away from home...

[@clubfoote1960]

You are absolutely fantastic, I mean every word, seeing your keyboards made me cry all I ever wanted were several keyboards, and I had to move and the men who were supposed to put a lot of my stuff in storage lost 2 keyboards and at least I have one, I play by ear, and music is my 1st love,

NAILED that "when you shake" line at 2:46. NAILED it!!

Geez! Not a single song that isn't done incredibly well. You are just something else. As a kid growing up in the 80s and now in my low 50s, you have nailed this genre of music. Stunning! Keep up the great work! You are a pro!

[@alloallie]

OMG !!!! You did such an amazing job to one of my favourite 80s pop tracks ever. My favourite part of this (I guess) is how you captured the keys and synth that have haunted my heart since I was five. I'm sure Ben Orr must be smiling at this. Wow !

Simply fabulous, and I love seeing those vintage synths.

[@doraysmith]

spot on....sounds more authemtic than todays synths...

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Excellent voice and cover! I love this tune. I saw them live a couple years ago. It's sad they lost their bassist. They were playing along to his track and got off during "Moving in Stereo". So they played it again. Nobody cared, we were just happy to hear the song again. :) Keep up the great channel. I'm glad I found it. We have a lot of the same taste in music and synthesizers. Take care, Sam.

[@misternewoutlook5437]

Getting mileage out of that Yamaha DX7. The 1980s had so many different mini-eras of style, but that Yamaha was there throughout. Especially during the synth-heavy portion of the decade where some pretty great songs came out with that keyboard at the fore. The inventiveness with synths changed a lot after the mid-90s, but it's so interesting to see the classic stuff's merit. You can really appreciate the arranging by viewing your covers.

[@ClemensWennersMusic]

Yeah, it was an interesting time for synths. Every synth had it's own thing, it's limitations made the synth. Nowadays basically every synth does the same if we're really honest to ourselves.. Haha!

[@iamredoctober]

@@ClemensWennersMusic How many synths and keyboards do you have? Your collection is most impressive.
