Story Behind The Song

Driver has a throbbing, pulsating 6/8 beat which reminds me of someone driving toward a goal, a finish line, a distant place or home with intense focus and speed, never stopping or letting up until they've arrived.

Song Description

Driver has a rhythmic, pulsing 6/8 beat with a bass line that echoes across both speakers. It opens with frantic strings setting a mood of intensity and focus. Then the horns come in with a very deliberate melodic phrase. Trombones accentuate in a call-and-response pattern. A saxophone comes in with a driving solo as the tension builds to a fevered climax. Timpani bring the song to a close with a final, percussive statement.
