The Cars - Heartbeat City (Official Music Video) Remastered @Videos80s “Heartbeat City“ is a song by American new wave band the Cars. The song, written by Ric Ocasek, is the closing track on the band's fifth studio album Heartbeat City. Aside from being released on Heartbeat City, “Heartbeat City“ saw release as the B-side to “You Might Think“ in America and “Why Can't I Have You“ in Britain. The song also saw release in Britain as the sixth single pulled from the Heartbeat City album, where it was backed with “Why Can't I Have You“. The song charted at No. 78 in Britain and No. 75 in Australia. The single was not released in America, and no more singles from Heartbeat City were released afterward. “Heartbeat City“ has been described retrospectively as “ethereal“ and as a “highlight“ from Heartbeat City by AllMusic critic Greg Prato.[2] Donald Guarisco, also of AllMusic, has said the track “was a memorable effort in [the] vein [of 'atmospheric moodpieces'], a hypnotic bit of new wave that mixed impressionistic lyrics with an entrancing electronic soundscape.“ He went on to say, “The result was probably a little too esoteric to be a hit but it got some exposure as the B-side to 'You Might Think' and provide a fittingly arty finale for the Heartbeat City album. #80smusic #remastered #thecars @Videos80s
