Driven by You

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Driven by You" is a song by Queen guitarist Brian May. It was written as part of his 1992 solo album, Back to the Light. It was released as a single in late 1991, peaking at #6 on the UK Singles Chart and #9 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart.[1]

Besides the original album/single version, there are three other known studio versions of the song. One was used in a Ford commercial. The second is an instrumental remix of the song, called Driven By You Too. The other known version of this song has a new drum track from Cozy Powell as a bonus track on the US release of Back to the Light.

Shortly before releasing it as single, May played it on the Guitar Legends concert in October 1991, having a super-group backing him: Cozy Powell on drums, Neil Murray on bass, Steve Vai on rhythm guitar, Rick Wakeman and Mike Moran on keyboards, Maggie Ryder, Myriam Stockley and Chris Thompson on backing vocals.
