"Driver Down" is the 22nd song on the Lost Highway soundtrack, clocking in at 5:18. It is one of 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."[1]
The track is titled "Driving Theme" in the movie's ending credits, and it features Reznor's first recorded saxophone performance since "Purest Feeling". While this is surely a nod to the 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 Dissonance tour with David Bowie.

Versions
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.
Live
"Driver Down" has never been played live.
