- Brian May announces re-release and new music video of his classic single ‘DRIVEN BY YOU’ ahead of remastered Back To The Light album. “The song Freddie Mercury generously gave his blessing to be my solo track.” Released on June 25, 2021. Brian May’s first solo hit, and the unforgettable TV ad it was made for, came from the most unlikely of origins. ‘Driven By You’ is, without doubt, one of rock’s most rousing and lasting anthems. Originally written for a Ford car television commercial, the solo track was a worldwide hit when it first debuted as a single off May’s 1992 ‘Back To The Light’ album. But the unforgettable song had its beginnings oceans away from the open roads of the UK countryside that were framed in that TV ad.
Originally released in November 1991, ‘Driven By You’ saw success worldwide including reaching No 6 on the UK Singles Chart and No 9 on the US Billboard Album Rock Chart. Re-released to download on June 25 ahead of the forthcoming re-mastered reissue of May’s “Back To The Light” album on August 6, the reissue of the track comes with a scorching new 30th Anniversary video edit. The performance was originally filmed when the Queen legend sang the track live for the first time at the 1991 Guitar Legends concert in Seville, Spain, and during his 1992 South America tour.

The Red Special going full throttle
Listening to this song makes you realise just how important Brian is to the sound of queen as a whole. Queen isn't just the Freddie Mercury show.
back in 92 I used to think the same, but also, you know what's missing there?? his pals voices and Ideas... if you listen to the headlong demo (from innuendo) you can clearly see how important were the 4 ladies together. with that basis how this would have sound with John bass line, Freddie's voice and killer roger drum fills.
also let me add that, in some Brian songs Freddie's voice is to powerful, saying this, I prefer the too much love will kill you in Brian's solo album than the later Queen cut
Freddie is the best lead singer/frontman of all time.
Brian is one of the best guitarists of all time and might be a better songwriter than Freddie
Brian clearly wrote this with Freddie in mind as a singer.
He managed to make this song his alone.
I agree with you
The guy's got range! 👍
Raise your hand who is convinced that he will cry if this song is on the setlit of the 2022 tour🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️
This song sums up Bono’s and my relationship I love it because I love him so much and he deserves all that I can give him to make him happy and in doing so it makes me happy he is a wonderful man and I never forget it another meaningful song for me from the Queen band members
One of the best driving songs ever......plus best Ford car advert tune ever!! 🎸🎸🎸
Hi Bri!! Hi everybody! I'm Claudio one of the boys in the second car crazy following you over Buenos Aires highway that lovely spring afternoon on November 1992. The first car seen on the vid at 1:03 is driven by Adrian, besides him in the front seat is his mother. The second car seen on the vid at 1:06 is driven by my friend Roberto, Mariel is also in the front seat besides him; in the back seat is a younger Claudio (me, now I'm 53🤣) thumbs up for you 👍, besides me are Danny and Jimena. All we were devoted Brian and Queen fans!! Life is a roller coaster, and for that very moment we feel we were in the ride with you. Our energy and passion can be seen in our faces, we could hardly believe you were so near us! We were lucky enough to meet Rudy Dolezal with his camera capturing all the action, but I think we are representing so many passionate fans throughout the world who love, enjoy, need, support and believe in your music since your first steps with your band.
I remember I was so sad with Freddie recently gone, and very afraid of Queen light to turn off, but your songs definitely took me back to the light, and somehow fortunately Queen light also is today brighter than ever before. Thank you Brian for being a great inspiration in my life, and in the whole world. By the way, I don't know who gave you the Indian Chief pendant, but maybe I can find who and I will tell you, that might have been also in Argentina. For the rest of us, the crazy guys in the cars, we are all still OK and rocking to the rhythm of your songs, waiting to have more roller coaster rides with you as soon as possible!! Thank you very much again, keep safe and keep on rocking!! 🎸😀
Thank you so much for the support... hope you won’t stop loving me?!!!
¡Claudio! ¡Qué hermoso relato! Algo muuuy parecido hice cuando vinieron con PR en el 2008, son recuerdos que jamás en tu vida vas a olvidar. Para el 92, apenas tenía 7 años, así que... bueno.
Te hago una pregunta, estoy casi convencida que la imagen que aparece en el minuto 3:53 es acá, ¿tenés idea?
¡Un abrazo, queenero!
@@sabryrey Hola Sabrina!!! Gracias, gracias, gracias por tu comentario. Lo que vos contás también es genial!! y si saco bien las cuentas curiosamente tenías casi la misma edad en 2008 que la que yo tenía en éste video 😀 Estas cosas inolvidables son las que hacen que toda nuestra vida sea un poco mejor. Yo también estoy convencido de que la imagen del minuto 3:53 es una de las vistas de la terraza del hotel Sheraton de Bs As, donde se alojaron todos en ésa oportunidad y desde donde los acompañamos para despedirlos en Ezeiza. El equipo de Brian grabó varias cosas ahí. Hay otras varias imágenes en blanco y negro en el video que también fueron tomadas en Argentina, así como hay otras que son de Brasil. Tomas similares y otras más, vas a volver a verlas en el video de Back To The Light a pantalla completa y en colores, cuando Brian lo re-estrene, cosa que calculo podrá ser pronto. Ojalá también pronto podamos tener nuevas visitas queeneras, que tantas alegrías siempre nos traen! Abrazo queenero para vos!!!
@@claudiocastro4399 ¡Gracias por responder! ¡Ojalá vuelvan! ¡Otro abrazo! 💪🏻
Brian May and Steve Vai on the same stage, it just doesn't get much better.
Anybody else got the urge to go out and by a Ford?
The one and only Cozy Powell
★ Best Wishes to Sir Brian May on Your Happy Birthday !
Wish You and Your Family Have A Great, The Most Inimitable, and Incomparable, The Most Brilliant, Be Full of Love and Attractive with Blessed Special Happy Day !! 🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂
We have Ford to thank for this.
Brian is Queen, the sound, he's not just a guitarist, piano, the guy is a musical machine, Freddie's obviously the man but without Brian there wouldn't have been Queen.🎸🎤📀
Freddie was Queen but without Brian May , who knows
Brian is the queen of guitarists
@@bigiaindiamond
FRED HAD A WONDERFUL VOICE BUT WAS NOT A GOD, BUDY, HE WOULD NOT EXIST, WITHOUT BRIAN, ROGER AND JOHN.
Without Freddie there would no be no queen
Sorry but queen wouldn't be queen with out any of them
The smartest man in rock & roll. Brain May is a inspiration to my little boy.
RIP Cozy Powell, you'll always be a legend.
Queen needed brian and Brian needed Queen
He is really lovable; nice person, the band, notable guitarist, singer, his voice, song author/writer, top singles, music composition, advert/movie soundtracks, homemade guitar, his tone, PhD in astrophysics, CBE title, animal activist, ex Chancellor of university, ex NASA guest scientist, his style, guitar manufacturer, what else... This great song reissue refreshes his legacy!
Thank you so much for support, hope you won’t stop loving me????
This song actually gets better every time you listen to it :)
It actually does!
I agree.
Also, check out the epilogue version of this song "Driven by you Two".
It's one of the Greatest songs to blast loud whilst speeding on the highway!
Não concordo,falta Freddy sim,ele aí o show era outro
This is a powerful American-style hard-rock song with no swearing and no typical references to murder, drugs and sex..... All the more reason to appreciate May's work 🤟🏻😎🎸
Had a few people grip the car seat while listening to this. Youth eh.
I heard this from Greatest Hits and Flix III in 2008. Great time. I want to be a teenager again, as I was barely 17!!! Now I'm almost 30... turning in 4 months...
Who else would love to have heard this done by Queen and given the full vocal harmony treatment and with Freddie doing the main vocals?
Brian is definitely in the Top 10 most likable people I've ever seen. Freddie of course too.
Best song Freddie Mercury never recorded.
Brian May Band live at the Brixton Accademy has got to be one the best (IF NOT THE BEST) live performances ever.
I was there!!!
Me too. Great gig
I love this song so much !!!!!! BRIAN MAY IS AMAZING ❤
Brian May, has a good voice too.❤
May, Powell, Vay, Wackmann, Thompson, Moran, Murray.... and others many many thanks) Super
A dream triumvirate of Brian, Steve and the late, great Cozy Powell. The perfect tribute to him. A brilliant song.
Thanks for support, hope you won’t stop supporting me?/
You're very welcome Brian. I've supported you since the early 80's with Queen. And will continue to do so.
@@andykarakanna3068 I appreciate you so much, where do you live, how old are you, are you single or engaged ?
Fabulous song
Fabulous artist
The legend that is Brian May
Ford owe this guy a tonne of credit for this amazing song on their advert,one of the best car adverts of all time I can still remember it and I was only 14
universe in you never let me go. thank you for everything.
Ford advert is what I remember this for best.
The 8 people who disliked are just simply jealous of how awesome he is.
Damn suckers! 10 dislikes already
They just misclicked on the dislike button.
Its the entire cast of "we will rock you". They are jealous that Brian sings better than they do.
Of course it's beautiful song, but the editing is terrible. It feels like this video was edited in Vegas PRO 12
@@brian-dr8mf have you seen the original version? They did an awesome job. Is not about the video, anyway. Let's celebrate the reboot of Back to the light album
Brian, what a beautiful voice you have
Agreed.
Very Travelling Wilberries era Roy Orbison but also very Brain was easily the best singer in Queen after Freddie' too.
@@Catsincages Brain?
He would have done better than Adam.
👍💯Потрясающий Брайн Мэй ❤
Brian May should be the lead vocalist of Queen now...PERIOD!!!!
Thanks for supporting my career; hope you won’t stop loving me?+’/-&
Everything we do is driven by you🎶
💕💕💕💕
Thanks for supporting my career; hope you won’t stop loving me?.
Even Freddie told Brian to sing this gem...good choice Dear Fred! 😎
В какой-то степени напоминает Фредди. Особенно подпевки. Но, ребят, сыграно - очень круто. Браво 👍🎸
to me brian may is a guitar rock god.what more else can you say 🙂
Amazing guitarist. Dr. May
I e had the privilege to see Brian in 98 solo and he was amazing. Seen him 5 times with Freddie and 2 times with Paul Rodgers and 4-5 times with Adam. I’ve never been disappointed! I love it when he sings, his voice is so expressive.
I wish he would do another solo project where he sings!
Gods bless the work that you have done for the world Dr. May!
Exellent - number One in rock!
this song brings back so many memories for me
Great song. Loving Cozy on drums. Happy Birthday today(July 19) to Brian May. Especially after surviving open heart surgery. Cheers!
Baby....you make that fantastic!!!!!!!!!Freddy sits on top of the clouds and says Wow ... yeah !!!
Thanks for supporting my career; hope you won’t stop loving me? ?
You know you've reached legend status when Steve Vai is your backing rhythm guitarist.
The marriage of Pop and Rock.
We remember and will never forget
What a great song.... Brian's voice and the drums of Cozy ..... unforgettable
Cozy didn’t play the drums on the track, he was of course in BM band and there was a version released with him playing drums on it
@@markpalmer7215 in the original song you're right: Cozy did not play the drums, but on my album from 1992 on most of the other songs drums are performed by Cozy. I think that this video is from one of their live performances
🎸🔥The footage is from this full-1991 concert in Spain 🇪🇸, which includes Cozy in the description as a 🥁 player:

@@mykingdomforak9 thank you so much for the information
🌷 You're welcome,@@sylviabroese6965 . ⚘✌
Love how much Cozy Powell is featured. A lovely tribute! 🔥🔥🔥
So sad. R.I.P.
Cozy Powell is one of the best rock drumers.
Thank you so much for support, hope you won’t stop loving me?
Cozy and Neil - best rhythm section ever.
@@mickandbobby Well, next to Roger and John, I would totally agree.😊 One thing’s for sure, Brian can sure pick drummers.
Still dancing. All the time in the world..🎩💫🎶🎵
Steve Via as Rhythm guitarist & Cozy Powell Drumming! shows how brian was respected by other Rock gods!
BRIAN MAY FOREVER!
Thanks for support, hope you won’t stop supporting me?
Брайан, спасибо за ваш талант, за ваш голос. Спасибо за неожиданную, проникновенную песню Фредди " сражаться в одиночку". В наше страшное время только Квин вытаскивает меня из депрессии. Большой поклон вам.
Happy birthday Brian May. May God bless you and your family
I never felt the need to listen to this song because it's always in my mind. I was watching Too Much Love Will Kill You and took a look here. It still sounds as good as ever.
Two positive things about this reissue:
1) Uncropped front sleeve photo of Brian
2) CD debut of Driven By You (Ford Advert version)
Everything else was available on CD for about 30 years. Great! What a campaign!
Shut up, we didn’t have the album on streaming services
Thank you so much for support, Hope you won’t stop loving me? ...
When there is Brian May ....no time to think..just enjoy...
If they remade the ford advert with today's ford's with similar scenes with this epic song will be legendary again. See the advert folks.
I love this video nice job brian
I still say this is the best driving song, ever. It is still my favorite Queen/May song after all these years. Its a song to "give it the beans" to, which is ironic as it was playing on the stereo when I was stationary and had my car shortened by 2 feet in an accident. A Vauxhall hit by a Ford Orion. Two weeks of not being able to walk, all I had to listen to was "Back to the Light".
Now, in 2021, its the first track on a self-burned compilation CD in the old Land Rover. The CD player is broken and won't eject the disc, and will only play the first track...
And Ford was the parent company of Jaguar, Rover and Land Rover at one point in the 90s.
Brian played all instruments on this!
Brian is brilliant🤩👍🤩👍🤩👍😍👍😍
Beautifull song ❤❤❤❤
When you have Steve Vai playing Rhythm. Great song!
Definitely a great song
When you have Cozy Powell playing drums. Great song!
Has anyone noticed Rick Wakeman on keyboards?
Was he on the record 🤔
Pretty sure Brian played all instruments on the album. This is from Wikipedia.
Shortly before releasing it as single, May played it on the Guitar Legends concert in October 1991, having a super-group backing him: Cozy Powell on drums, Neil Murray on bass, Steve Vai on rhythm guitar, Rick Wakeman and Mike Moran on keyboards, Maggie Ryder, Miriam Stockley and Chris Thompson on backing vocals.
Tu miluji ❤Super. Poslouchám pořád dokola 😊
need a re release of these sweet concerts
Brings back so many memories. Fantastic song fantastic album fantastic artist. Can't believe this was 30 years
Thanks for supporting my career; hope you won’t stop loving me? !
I love Freddie, of course, Roger and John - they each add their own talent and are amazing people in their own rights - but I admit, Brian has always been my 'favourite'. I mean, what a guy. Makes me both laugh and sad that he doesn't think he's a particularly great singer. Back to the Light is an *incredible* album, and I am so, so, so excited that it's finally getting the attention and recognition it deserves, all these years later. Never pre-ordered something so fast. This new 2021 mix sounds awesome (can't wait for the remaster of 'Resurrection') and I just know the whole package is going to be flawless.
A true singer, a true guitarist, composer, and frontman. Fantastic. Back to the Light is a proper rock record, thirty years on.
I agree. I went to one of his solo concerts in 1998 in Milan and it was great, probably the best concert I've been to.
@@paoloseverini1035 Wow, I'm jealous! That sounds awesome; so glad for you, man.
@Lindsey Young I totally agree, he always downplays his talent as a singer and songwriter. I'm with you I pre-ordered Back to the Light the second Bri gave the head's up on IG..💕🎸💕
@@twinkee1283 Such a modest man, which we love, but I wish he only knew how awesome and talented he was!
Awesome; can't wait till August 6th when we can all enjoy it in flawless sound.
I totally agree with Lindsey. Mercury and the boys write excellent songs...but Brian is a smidge better. His songs always move the heart and soul. "Gimme the Prize" makes me feel like I can call down thunderbolts, whilst "Sail away sweet sister" brings me to tears. Brian is a master of Heavenly metal. (Resurrection anyone?)
Anything with Cozy P & his Big Ys on it is just the Biz.
He looks completely amazing here ❤❤❤❤
Señores. Varias de esas imágenes son en mi país. Argentina. Un orgullo que estén en este maravilloso vídeo clip de su majestad .el señor Brian May
Everything we do, is driven by Bri !!!
Yes so true Mary !!
Thank you so much for support, hope you won’t stop loving me?
@@mariasmart2419 Astronomy is much more fun when you are not an astronomer!
@@brianmay7300 That is Sooo NOT what Brian would say !!
@@mariasmart2419 I despise the lottery, how long have you been following me as a fan ?
Cozy Powell on drums! my favourite..
He was a God in my eyes, as were they all. They all gave the group life in their own particular way. Do you think that they would have been as successful if Adam Lambert had been the lead singer instead of Freddie. And tbh I can't think of anyone else who could have replaced him to such great effect
Driven by you
Brian May
Oh, everything I do I do for you
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
In the dark we make a brighter light
From one spark to the horizon wide
We trust and together we tame the land, yeah
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've still got time
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
Because you're saying all the things I want to say to you
You say
Everything I do is driven by you
Everything we do
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
Because life without you just won't do
Driven by you
You know I'm never going to know who's dreaming
But we're working night and day to make a dream come true, yeah
Everything I do is driven by you
Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do
Everything we do is driven by
Driven by
Driven by you
Oh, everything I do I do for you
I adore this song, and he has an amazing voice, looking at the comments I agree with them, definitely deserves more credit for his talent, his guitar playing floors me, it's so incredible.
I comment before but this video is just so awesome & he is just gorgeous, hot & has such a beautiful voice..Never tire of hearing his song's & glad he did them over so they can be purchased for all to listen to. 🎶💙🎸🔥🥰
I just listened to = Driven by you= loved it!!
When your rhythm guitarist is Steve Vai, you know you're the master! The out of phase tone is to die for!!
And Rick Wakeman on keys. Cozy Powell on drums. Fucking amazing band.
Only the best for Brian
He wouldn't have it any other way
Cool AF!
@@PHDWhom cozy powell legend with Sykes
@@gabrielgreff5911 yep.
You could say the same about Frank Zappa for example, yes, great musicians all of them!!!
Imagine if Freddie(RIP) was still alive Queen would be number 1 band in the world
As it is they are huge and Freddie is the biggest musical icon there is. The fact that he is year on year the most searched artist on Google says it all.
Even without Freddie they’re still right up there 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@robertsmith6896 I heard Freddie did the original backing vocals in places on this song Is it true?
@@janeh832 no idea he may have because he also did a version of ‘to much love will kill you “
@@robertsmith6896 he didn't😳 Dr Brian confirmed in insta I asked him. ❤️ He said the original and updated version he did everything no Freddie, either way I love this tune! ☺️🎶 .
Now that's a supergroup.
Yeeee! BRIAN! THANK YOU FOR THIS! 💓💓💓💓💓
The best guitarist and one of the best rock's song writer
please make an Dolby Atmos remaster or even 5.1 remaster albums!!! the music of Queen and members deserve it!!! Thank you!

I just bought a Brian May guitar... I'm definitely recording this song next. I recorded Bohemian Rhapsody during the second lockdown, but this is gonna be my next big production! Xxx
Happy birthday Brian 😊
I have long felt that Brian and Roger should include a solo song or two in the Q+Adam Lambert tour setlists. This re-release is a perfect excuse. This song would go down a storm in concert in 2022!
a wonderful rock driven anthem that shows brian may can come out of the shadow of queen and deliver a solo performance that freddie would have been proud of XX
