~~| live=N/A~~}}'''"Driver Down"''' is the 22nd song on the ''[[Lost Highway Soundtrack|Lost Highway]]'' soundtrack, clocking in at 5:18. It is one of ~~two~~ only a few tracks to ever be credited to [[Trent Reznor]] (solo. When asked about this in an interview, Reznor stated it was credited to him because "it was a transition, because members of my band had left."[http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=658] The track is titled "Driving Theme" in the ~~other being~~ movie's ending credits, and it features Reznor's first recorded saxophone performance since "[[~~Videodrones; Questions~~Purest Feeling (song)|Purest Feeling]]"~~), with~~ . While this is surely a nod to the ~~exception of~~ fact that the Fred Madison character in ''Lost Highway'' is a professional saxophone player, this may have also been influenced by Reznor's saxophone playing on "[[Subterraneans]]" during the [[~~Quake~~Dissonance]] tour with [[David Bowie]]~~'' soundtrack~~.

===Driver Down===

The only available version of the piece, it begins with a percussion loop bearing resemblance to those from "[[The Becoming]]" and "[[The Way Out Is Through]]" and is joined by layers of other percussion parts. Sludgy distorted guitars soon enter and the song weaves through several waves of rhythm changes and fuzzy guitar loops, eventually fading out and culminating with a repeating piano line and saxophone, which end abruptly.
