Running to You - the Cars

One of my favorite tracks off their vastly under-rated (popularly, although critics usually praise it) 1980 Panorama album.  I've always loved the Cars' abstract blend of keyboards and guitars.  They lyrics are never much but the guitar and keyboard figures and constructions are quite sophisticated.  The production is very well done as well.  Altogether I get a complete atmosphere from them about the ambivalent turn of the decade aesthetics.  A lot was going on and a lot of different sounds were being broadcast.  The Cars' sounds have aged very well since then.
