"Drive" is a song by American Alternative Rock band Incubus, from their 1999 album Make Yourself. It was released as a single in 2001, and eventually reached the top of Billboard's modern rock charts. The music video is based on M.C Escher's Drawing Hands.
[edit] Musical qualities and influences
The song is what is widely described as mellow, featuring mostly acoustic instruments and grounded both musically and lyrically in a very relaxing and overly positive ambiance. It is in the musical key of E minor and, while technically simple, consists of fundamental jazz chords that are scarcely seen in pop music, but commonly utilized by guitarist Mike Einziger in other Incubus songs.
[edit] Live
When played live, the song is performed in a number of different ways; Unplugged with Mike and Brandon, the full band with Mike playing Guitar, or the remixed version, centering around Ben Kenney's amplified and reconstructed bass melodies, with Mike playing an electric piano (as seen on the Alive at Red Rocks DVD).
