Hagar, now a sort of modern-day Jimmy Buffett, has earned his place in rock n roll history as one of hard rock's premier front men who not only has an ample, strong, belting vocal range with soulful melody and tone, but his duality as a formidable lead guitarist and guitar-riff-monger puts him in a league shared with few others in terms of versatility and overall right to rock.
He now tours with Mike Anthony, former bassist for Van Halen.
He resides with his family in Mill Valley, CA.
Hagar is currently in a band called "Chickenfoot" with Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Joe Satriani. Their self titled debut album was released to critical acclaim
Sammy Hagar is also known as the Red Rocker, due to the fact he almost always wears red shirts or plays a red guitar, or more likely that he has red hair?
Seems that Chickenfoot is on a hiatus as Joe Satriani has gone back to solo and CF has yet to follow up with a new LP.
Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy
Sammy Hagar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It suits me fine, that you treat me like a child
And I can't deny, when I'm with you that you
Step outside, from all those fears locked up inside
Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
What I like, is what you've got to offer
Just my type, I don't mind playing on the edge
Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
Takes me all the way
Lead me to forbidden doors
You know I'm yours
Yeah you've got it, yeah I want it
Don't you know it babay
Right on time, a tight fit right on the money
So sublime, hot sweet cherries on the vine
Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
Takes me all the way
Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love is driving me crazy
Your love just takes me away
Your love, your love, your love just takes me away
Your love, your love, your love just takes me away
The lyrics of Sammy Hagar's song "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy" portray the feeling of helplessness and the overwhelming sensation of being in love. The song opens with Hagar singing about his acceptance of the childish and carefree demeanor of his partner. He confesses that when he is with his significant other, he feels liberated from the fears that had confined him before. Then he admits that he is drawn to his partner because of the excitement and rush that follows.
As the chorus kicks in, it's evident that Hagar is overwhelmed by the intensity of his love for his partner, even though it might be a little too much for him to handle. He admits that he gets driven crazy by how much he loves his partner, and their love takes him away to a different world. He repeats this phrase several times throughout the song, emphasizing the idea of being lost in love.
The bridge of the song has a sexual overtone, with Hagar referring to his partner as the owner of his heart and body. Their love, in his eyes, is forbidden, and it's an intoxicating thrill that he is willing to pursue regardless of the consequences.
Overall, the song captures the intensity of the passion of love and how it can be all-consuming and ignite a sense of euphoria that can cause one to lose their mind.
