Song Description
In titling her fourth independent CD DRIVE (a collection of driving, freedom and heartache songs inspired by her many years spent on the road touring throughout North America) it seems appropriate that Danielle embarked on a road trip, driving 1300 miles from her home-town of Calgary, AB to Reno, NV to record this project with co-producer Tom Gordon at Imirage Sound Labs.
Danielle was first introduced to the Reno music scene when she toured through the area in 1998. She was quickly welcomed into the local music community and over the years Reno has become somewhat of a second home when she tours in the States. Tom Gordon has been an integral member of the Reno music scene since 1991, working as a staff engineer at the bed and breakfast studio Granny's House alongside head engineer Bjorn Thorsrud (Smashing Pumpkins, Shania Twain, Whitesnake). In his time at Granny's Tom worked with a wide range of major label recording artists including Dr. Dre, Whitesnake, Boys 2 Men, Collective Soul, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Nelson, and producer Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. In his time at Imirage Sound Labs, Tom Gordon has engineered Creedence Clearwater Revisited, The Beach Boys, G Love and Special Sauce as well as producing countless local Reno artists. As a long-time friend and occasional drummer for Danielle when she performs in Reno, Danielle has always been eager to work collaboratively with Tom in a studio environment and is thrilled to have co-produced the songs on DRIVE with him.

Lyrics
Don't look back
Don't look over your shoulder
Don't look back at all
Keep you eyes on the road, eyes on the road
Look straight ahead and Drive
Follow signposts
Stop for directions
Take in all the sights
There's beauty in the barren desert
And all those city lights
Keep you eyes on the road, eyes on the road
Look straight ahead
Keep you eyes on the road, eyes on the road
Full speed ahead and Drive
Stop for sunsets
Stop for sunrises
Take the scenic route
Take the road less traveled
Don't look back
Don't look over your shoulder
Don't look back at all
Keep you eyes on the road, eyes on the road
Look straight ahead
Keep your eyes on the road, eyes on the road
Full speed ahead
Keep you eyes on the road, eyes on the road
Look straight ahead and Drive
