Incubus--Drive

(photo from allmusic)

來自加州的alternative metal團incubus，主要成員是由一群中學就認識的同班同學所組成的，在他們高中畢業以前就經常在南加州一帶表演 。該團受Red Hot Chili Peppers的影響很深，從主唱總是喜歡打赤膊露上半身右手又繡了刺青，就不難發現主唱Boyd(左下圖)有點Anthony(Rhcp主唱--右下圖)的影子，再加上狂野不羇的唱歌方式，不仔細看還真的會誤以為是Anthony。

這首Drive是收錄在他們第三張的錄音室專輯Make yourself的歌曲，是他們出道以來最受歡迎的歌曲，也是第一首擠入top 10的單曲，以及告示榜的modern rock track第九名，其他歌曲如stellar、love hurts、dig和megalomaniac等，還有去年出的最新專輯light grenades 的oil and water都值得一聽，這首歌的MV是仿造荷蘭藝術家M.C. Escher的作品drawing hands(下圖--來自wiki)所製作而成的，整部mv主唱Boyd從一隻手開始畫出自己和其他團員，漫畫加上鏡頭的剪接，融合了現實世界與漫畫，也讓觀賞mv有了不一樣的觀感。(above information from wikipedia and allmusic )

Lyrics
Drive

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

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 the water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive
