about

Musical Influences: Sly and the Family Stone, Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder

Lyrical Inspiration: Being on the road as a trucker and/or a touring musican. Tourlife.

Artist Statement: A summer anthem with a soulful groove for driving the long stretch of highway, from the church of Sly Stone.

"I had the song completed with a couple of ruff mixes, but I knew it needed the sonic-sensibility of Eddie Robert’s mixing style to make it complete. I wanted the song to have the rawness of later day Sly Stone recordings and felt that with this touch and his team, that vision could be accomplished." - Freekbass

lyrics

Drive
You need to make a shift
Change the view
And give yourself a lift

Drive
The road is long
Aren’t you gettin’ tired of
Playing the same old song

Drive
Movin’ your own way
Don’t let the world tell you what to say

Drive
Like you’re never going to stop
just take it from the highway to the mountain top

The sun is in your eyes
Stay the course and just drive, drive, drive
