🎸 About the Song
Released in November 1991, "Driven By You" was the lead single from Brian May’s debut solo album, Back to the Light. It was a massive success, peaking at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart and becoming one of the most recognizable guitar tracks of the early '90s.
🚗 Fun Song Facts:
• The Ford Connection: The song was originally written for a Ford television commercial. Brian was inspired by the slogan "Everything we do is driven by you" and reportedly hummed the melody into a recorder in a Los Angeles poolside bathroom!
• Freddie’s Blessing: Brian was hesitant to release the song as a solo track while Freddie Mercury was ill. However, Freddie loved the song and gave Brian his full blessing, telling him: "Release it now... it's the best publicity you could have!"
• A "Supergroup" Track: The single features Brian on lead vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards, but he often performed it live with an all-star band including Cozy Powell (drums), Neil Murray (bass), and even Steve Vai (rhythm guitar).
• Award Winner: The track won the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for "Best Theme from a TV/Radio Commercial" in 1992.
📖 How to Use This Sheet
• Key: G Major (Original Tuning)
• Structure: Follow the chord symbols above the lyrics. Pay close attention to the bridge section where the intensity builds!
• Style: Focus on a driving, consistent down-stroke rhythm to capture that "open road" energy.
