My arrangement of Drive by the Cars. Which was released on July 23, 1984, as the album's third single. The song is most associated with the July 1985 Live Aid event, where it was performed by the Cars during the Philadelphia event. The song was also used as the background music to a montage of clips produced by CBC Television depicting the contemporaneous Ethiopian famine during the London event, which was introduced by British musician David Bowie. Following the concert, it re-entered the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number four in August 1985. Proceeds from the sales of the re-released song raised nearly £160,000 for the Band Aid Trust; ................................................................................................

GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL BY :- Ian Wilson. ........................................................................ SOUND WAS ACHIEVED BY :- Playing a STRATOCASTER guitar, into a Big Sky reverb /echo effects unit. I then passed the sound into my Scarlett Solo 2i2 2nd Gen USB Audio Interface and from the Interface, through to my laptop and into my Guitar Rig app program, which is installed on my laptop and works inside my 'Reaper ' Mixing Software programme which again is installed on my laptop where I can then record my guitar sound whilst playing to the backing track of :- 'DRIVE' Using my Big Sky reverb /echo effects unit Reaper & Guitar Rig, I produce the desired sound required and then make the sound recording and save the finished soundtrack to my computer as a MP3 file. I then record myself playing to the recorded audio mp3 soundtrack using two Apple iPad air 2 iPads and then transfer the video footage onto the timeline in CyberLink PowerDirector19, on my ' DESKTOP ' computer and replace the camera soundtrack with the Mp3 soundtrack from Reaper and Guitar Rig, I then edit the video footage accordingly to produce the finished video of :-'DRIVE' ..................................................................... LYRICS. "Drive" by The Cars 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 oh 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? Yeah, who's gonna plug their ears When you scream? You can't go on thinking Nothing's wrong, oh oh 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 oh Who's gonna drive you home Tonight? You know you can't go on thinking Nothing's wrong Who's gonna drive you home Tonight? ...................................................................... Thanks for watching.......
