Driven By You
Brian May · Back to the Light
Ow
Oh yeah
We touch and you're afraid of me
And we burn and now I'm at your feet
High speed, but you know you're in safe hands
Ooh, in the dark we make a brighter light
From one spark to the horizon wide
We trust, and together we tame the land, yeah
Oh you'd be forgiven if you think you're dreaming
But we're working night and day to make a dream come true, yeah
Everything I do is driven by you
Oh, come on babe
Oh well it's tough to make a journey through
The right stuff is dead ahead of you and me
And you know we still got time
Whoo, hold on tight to the driving wheel
This ride is really out of line
Raw deal, but there's no other that's worth a dime
You know I love you but you drive me crazy
'Cos you're saying all the things I want to say to you
(You say) Everything I do is driven by you
Everything we do, oh yeah, everything we do
Everything we do, everything we do
Everything we do is driven by you
Inner children lost their way
Now they know the price you pay
I'm holding on to life with you
'Cos life without you just won't do
Driven by you
Ahh, you know we're never gonna know who's dreaming
But we're working night and day to make the dream come true
Yeah everything I do is driven by you
Everything we do, everything we do, everything we do
Yeah everything we do, everything we do, yeah everything we do
Everything we do, everything we do, everything we do..
... is driven by, driven by, driven by you
Yeah
Ooooh everything I dooo, I do for you
Driven By You
Driven By You stands as a compelling track from Brian May's 1998 solo album, Back to the Light. Following the immense success of his Queen tenure, May returned with a record that blended rock intensity with introspective songwriting. This particular recording showcases his signature guitar work and emotive vocal delivery, anchoring the album's exploration of personal resilience and emotional depth. As part of a cohesive collection that includes hits like Too Much Love Will Kill You, the song reflects May's ability to craft anthemic rock that resonates beyond the boundaries of his band's legacy. The track remains a testament to his enduring influence in the genre, offering listeners a rich sonic experience defined by dynamic instrumentation and heartfelt expression.
