Suncorp: The Drive celebrates one family's commitment to their daughter's passion for netball. It is a dedication to families everywhere who are evening the playing field, by supporting their children week after week, at every training and game. Suncorp: The Drive draws a perfect parallel to Suncorp's commitment to Australian netball and women's sport. From local to elite.
Every weekend in Australia, families are journeying far and wide for their children's sport. It is a labour of love and something that is ingrained in the Australian spirit.
Suncorp: The Drive presented a fantastic opportunity to write a beautiful song, but not without a few challenges. The main challenge was balance. The music, lyrics, and vocal performance needed to be raw, warm, supportive and simple but without mawkishness, obscuring the dialogue, or distracting from the film. To overcome this challenge, we identified key words which captured the sentiment and heart of the story, and nestled them in a simple sentence. Once we had our lyrics, we explored a feel which allowed each line to be delivered slowly, but also left ample space between lines, to allow the pictures and dialogue to breathe. A simple guitar accompaniment glued everything together without being obtrusive, and allowed the lyrics and vocals to shine without them being overbearing.
