Hitting the charts clearly through the highway came the new single ‘drive’ by the American Alternative band Incubus, from their 1999 album make yourself. Released in late 2000, the song related itself with a breakthrough, eventually grasped the image of being band’s hottest single mounting the top of Billboards modern rock charts and # 9 in billboard’s top 100 in 2001. Backing up as a soundtrack in movies such as surf’s up and is it college yet ? , the song is a playable track in the North American and European versions of the Donkey conga 2 video game and also appears in the game Karaoke revolution party.
The music video is based on M.C.Escher’s Drawing Hands.
Video of this single reflects beauty of single handed imagination drawn upon simple acoustic guitar to majestic vocals. Brandon boyd’s sketching himself in the video creates a tranquil flow with the music and as the song proceeds, the divine music leads to the fulfillment of plenary enchantment of a rock soul!
Lyrics of Incubus – Drive
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can’t help but ask myself how much
I’ll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It’s driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
Haunting mass appeal.
But lately I’m beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I’ll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there..I’ll be there.
So, if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
Aah-ah-oo-o-o.
It’s driven me before and it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around.
But lately I’m beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found.
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I’ll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeahhh
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there…I’ll be there.
Would you choose water over wine….hold the wheel and drive?
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I’ll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there..I’ll be there.
