While I generally like to support local independent talent, this song and particularly the lyrics resonate for me. Its not really a complex message or anything we haven’t heard before, nor is the song particularly new. However when melody and poetry come together in a way that inspires me I like to share it. The song ‘Drive’ by Incubus seems to tell the story about taking control of destiny. For me Drive is about the action of defining my own path but it is also about sustaining the passion and energy for where I want to go.

Do I have my own plan? Or am I just speeding down a road that someone else has defined for me? One thing is for certain I have done the former, its been painful and the hurt still lingers, but for whatever the reasons, its gotten me to this place. Bring on tomorrow, but today can be pretty good too.

Anyways heres the video and lyrics.

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can’t help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It’s driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I’m beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
I’ll be there ahh

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive,
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive
It’s driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I’m beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
I’ll be there

Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
I’ll be there
