about

This is a joy song! This is about living life free, seeing friends and celebrating connections, coming out of our homes and meeting again "on the drive". We have a lot of healing to do as a community, our children have learned to stay apart over these months and with time I hope we can come together and play and connect physically without fear.

The song was originally an end of the night dance party song from my long residency at the Libra Room on Commercial Drive, but has found a new life in the joy of dance and bubbles with the little kids in my early childhood music classes. There is a version of this song on my LIVE at the Libra CD. monicalee.bandcamp.com/track/down-on-de-drive

This new recording done in studio Co-produced with Jesse Waldman of Red Light Sound with Michael Simpsonelli on Drums and Johnny Wah on Bass (Brastronaut, Dan Mangan) and Back Up Vocals by Ashley Grant.

This video celebrates how we as a community managed the lock down and maintained healthy connection through the pandemic while being home with young children.

lyrics

Down On The Drive ©Monica Lee 2007

Vrs 1
Everyone Singin’
Everyone Dancin’ Down on the Drive
I feel like I am
So alive Down on the Drive
I think I might
Go out tonight Down on the Drive
Tonight oh oh oh oh oh oh

Vrs 2
Everyone walkin’
Everyone talkin’ Down on the Drive
I’ve got to go
And see what’s happenin’ Down on the Drive
Won’t you wave
When you see me comin’ Down on the Drive
Tonight oh oh oh oh oh oh

Chorus
Down on the Drive Down on the Drive
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Down on the Drive Down on the Drive
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Down on the Drive Down on the Drive
Down on the Drive
Tonight Tonight oh oh oh oh oh oh


Bridge
What if I see you
Passing me one day
Won’t you stop and
Say hey hey hey hey
Hello my dear
Let’s go have a coffee
It’s time for you and me
You and me to get happy
Oh



Chorus
