I looked above me
And I found I was alone
The only thing I saw was darkness
I fell to my knees I was 
freezing to the bones
That’s when I felt you shining down on me
Shine on me

Oooh
There’s a star in the sky
Bringing hope to the night
Oooh
There’s a star in the sky
Bringing hope to the night

When I thought I wouldn’t 
smile anymore
You came to me and changed it all
I wrote your name 
Yes, I carved it in stone
A memory that could stay
Will you stay?

Oooh
There’s a star in the sky
Bringing hope to the night
Oooh
There’s a star in the sky
Bringing hope to the night

I looked above me
And I saw you were there
You don’t seem to  seem to care
I rose again
I was back on my feet
I Had to fall just to stand
I will stand

Songs from the edge of somewhere. Bluesy, soulful rock with roots in folk and blues, shaped by years of traveling and chasing sound.

My debut album Strange Part of the Country earned ★★★★ from Q Magazine, a Blues Matters cover feature, and reached #3 on the U.S. Alternative Radio Chart, with airplay on BBC Radio 2, WWOZ New Orleans, and KROQ Los Angeles. Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Marc Ribot, and Danny Thompson have all been part of the journey.

I’m now finishing a new album with Marc Ribot, Tchad Blake, and Danny Thompson — music that digs deep, raw and real.

driving force started in the late 90s as a coverband we did pubs and clubs, the singer and bass player left so the band finished .i kept the name and started writing originals and started a band called damned if we dont and now im mainly on my own these days writing and producing my own stuff,i bring people in when ever they and I wont, i just love music have played since 12 years old, been in lots cover bands over the years but got really sick of having to do songs other people wanted so I stop playing covers and only do originals these days and loving it, I put my heart in to it, its one off things in my life whats kept me going, im a west Aucklander westie through and through,Julian Dods life long member of driving force and dear friend playing bass and guitar 0n a lot of the songs i hope you injoy what I produce, keep rocking and may we have a peaceful loving earth,ps thanks to all the fans that support me john.

I like many styles including Edm, House, Techno, Hip Hop, Latin, Pop etc.
