i wrote most of āhow to driveā before tour and left with the intention of finishing it after. but in an almost child-like way, i found myself needing to record it immediately. i had an off day in nyc and booked electric lady hoping the legendary air there would help me squeeze all the magic out of a song so near and dear to my heart. i hate having cameras in the studio, but on this particular day, i couldnāt imagine NOT documenting everything. so this is a video of me somewhere in between enlightened and manic, finishing the writing and frantically hopping from instrument to instrument, physically racing against the clock of the day and spiritually racing against the clock of time. this song isnāt an extension of my last era, and i donāt think itās really even the start of the next. this song is simply the way i feel about myself, the people around me, and the world right now. and this is how it came to be.

this song isnāt about anything, itās about everything. life can be complicated and life can be simple and it can get real hard to tell between beauty and pain. even that last sentence, like, is that insightful or just bullshit. i donāt know.
