This week on Songs on the Couch, we're jumping into the world of Incubus and their massive 2000 hit “Drive.”

We explore the fascinating story of the band, their beginnings in the California alternative rock scene, and how they evolved from a heavier, funk and hip-hop-influenced sound into one of the biggest alternative rock bands of the early 2000s.

We'll take a look at how Drive came together, the musical and sonic choices that make this seemingly simple song so effective, and what was happening culturally around the year 2000 - from Y2K and the rise of the internet to Napster, MTV and the explosion of nu-metal.

Then we put the song on the couch and unpack its deeper meaning. Is Drive really about driving, or is it about fear, anxiety, control and the choices we make when we're faced with uncertainty?

Join us for another mix of music, history, psychology and plenty of laughs as we ask the big question:
