I love this song sm. Rock n roll love confession. A classic for me. There’s never a lull, with the timing of the back up vocals and guitar licks and the lyrics feel so pronounced they’re unavoidable. No wonder he inspired Elliot Smith. Feels like a 70‘s summer.

The Cars self-titled debut is stuffed so full of stone cold classics that it’s hard for me to choose one song to post about. Ocasek’s songwriting is so simple and ear wormy, and I love that he shares vocals with the completely underrated Ben Orr (who sings on the albums most popular songs).
ive been self soothing with this whole album because it’s such a thrill. you ought to do the same. i think it could help you get through the summer!
good times roll is by far my fav ocasek-vocal track. i love his lyrics. he’s like if julian casablancas were actually cool. i cant stop thinking about the guitar at 1:45 (thanks eliot easton!). also that album cover! so seductive, kind of unsettling.
let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
let the good times roll

Inspired by 80‘s production, this song feels bigger than itself. End credits of a movie vibe. Reflective of passing youth. In layered, reverb laden vocals he sings “Growing up is never easy…Wrong enough to say I’m sorry. Owning up to things I can’t undo.” It’s great for a drive alone thinking on all the things that’ve passed you by and all that has yet to arrive :)
