I don't pretend to know nearly as much as many do about The Cars' history but the more I do learn, the more it seems apparent to me that a certain someone may have had quite an aggressive envy of Ben...and not just for the obvious reasons. From his solo work, it seems clear to me that Ben's songwriting was more than good enough to have added an incalculable value to The Cars, had he not been prevented from doing so. He had a beautiful sense of melody, we certainly missed out on what I have no doubt would have been a wonderful second album. It's far too late for any more recriminations now, of course, on both sides, but my sense from Ben's words in this song is that he found his peace before he was called away far too soon. RIP 🌹

Even Benjamin has said he is not a songwriter. Lyrics are the most difficult thing for him. Ric wrote all the Cars songs. They are lucky to have found each other. Benjamin needed Ric’s dark deep songs to shine on his best vocal characteristics. Ric needed Benjamin’s voice to interpret his songs more deeply than his own voice was able. A true partnership.

Ben sang a huge chunk of the early hits, but when MTV came along, Ric seemed to suddenly keep any potential hit for himself to sing, except for "Drive" which he just did not have the voice to do it justice so no choice but to hand it over to Ben. But even then he hogged the spotlight in the video for it.

Stylistically, DYKWIFL is more richly melodic with strong structural dynamics. This is more dimensional and melodically varied. Benjamin was quite the songwriter and melody man.

Jingleburp, agree that later Cars became robotic and souless as RIc was allowed to dictate more of the production and dominate the songwriting. they lost the 'rock' and the emotionalism of the first 2 albums and personally it wasn't my taste. what i love about ben orr's solo work is that he brings the emotion back, and his vocals are refreshingly devoid of the mannerisms and affectations that he sometimes felt compelled to use when with The Cars.
@moodylicious
6 жыл бұрын
same here. except I loved his vocal mannerisms and affectations. But I get the point. The toned down, romantic mood of The Lace was refreshing. And then songs from his second solo album revealed greater dimension and versatility w/ these songs ranging from ballad to rock; providing impressive material. But he was only going back to his roots, as songwriter early on during his pro gigging as lead vocalist, songwriter and guitarist for his band The Grasshoppers (1964-66) on the weekly Big 5 Show aired on local Cleveland TV. Orr's talent and experience have been upstaged or down-played for some reason.
