Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I'm countin' on you
To carry me through

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Yeah, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' me strong

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Na na na, won't you, won't you take me
Oh, take me

This song always reminds me of  a sweet time I was makin' out with my girlfriend under the boardwalk at Ocean City MD. This song was blasting from the amusement park nearby. Think it was 1975 .  .  .

And so are you, based on your comments.

Newsflash: Not every song has to be "deep" or "transcendental"... music can sometimes be just catchy, joyous, and simple. And make people feel good.

Speaking strictly for myself -
"Music's where it's at for me.  As far as i'm concerned - nothing else matters"
.
Dobie Gray - 'Drift Away', and John Miles - 'Music' say it all for me.
Music was my first love. And it will be my last.
Thanks for all the joy you've given me...

If it's on "the radio" all the time, you aren't listening to RP.

Make your choice RP or "the radio"!

I can't believe Dobie Gray was born in the tiny (and I mean tiny) town of Simonton, TX which is just West of my tiny town of Fulshear, TX.  If Simonton was Detroit they would no doubt have a statue.   What a weird factoid...

Had that album! Oh my God, that one had the hits, alright. Second song on there was Flip Flop and Fly by the Downchild Blues Band -- still a winner after almost 50 years; and there was Spiders and Snakes from Jim Stafford, and Painted Ladies by Ian Thomas! -- talk about an 'eclectic mix'.


So many Canadian bands mixed in there (the aforementioned Downchild and Ian, plus Lighthouse, BTO, The Defranco Family ["featuring Tony DeFranco", lol], and the Stampeders), plus R&B and soul and even Blood, Sweat, and Tears.

What a brew!

Wow!  I followed the link over to the Second Hand Songs web site and found 87 recorded versions of this song!  Eighty-seven.

Of course a lot of these are by people or bands that almost no one remembers if they ever heard of them in the first place, but there are a lot of folks who we all know including:

Roy Orbison
Ike and Tina Turner
Humble Pie
Rod Stewart
Ray Charles
The Neville Brothers
The Heptones
Michael Bolton
Ringo Starr
Waylon Jennings
Jackie DeShannon
Tom Rush
Garth Brooks

Not a fave by any stretch, but hearing it once every month or two in the context of what RP does is fine with me.

For some reason, I still associate this song with report card day. It helped calm the great foreboding that the day often brought the young teenager I was. Played on "repeat." Back in the day that meant getting up to put the needle back down. 8

I watched him perform on a super-local comedy/variety show called 'Tush', mid 80's(?). Hosted by Bill Tush, who got his start introducing afternoon movies (remember?), it was goofy and ultra-low budget. But hilarious. Jan Hooks (yes, her) was in the cast, and her genius was evident even then. Wonder if I could find tapes of it?

Still love this song.

I like that RP plays a wide variety of good songs. The fact that other radio stations play a song is no reason for RP to not play it -- we're not listening to those other stations; we're listening to RP.
Posted 17 years ago by helene    [ Reply ]
Whether it belongs on RP or not, or whether its overplayed on "classic rock" stations, its still a good tune, and there's no problem with having 3 minutes of good tune in between other good stuff, and a lot of eclectic stuff that may or may not be so good. So stop complaining.

I think this is what RP is about though - eclectic online rock radio. At least that's what it says at the top of my browser. IMHO there's nothing wrong with mixing a classic or two with all the others. It's the same reason that I use "random" on my mp3 player.

Unditto. I think it is entirely necessary to play songs like this. Just to underline the point, I can hear Bowie's Sound and Vision on 'the other radio' at any time, but I ain't gonna complain, coz there's more than just a few RPers out there who like it!! IMHO
Posted 17 years ago by algrif    [ Reply ]
So, there is somebody here that likes this song so much that they took the effort to upload it, rather than thousands of other songs infinitely better. I could live the rest of my life very happily never hearing this song again.

Hearing this song is better than comfort food! It's good to hear some of the old classics that never seem to make it to "classic" rock stations. Thanks Bill for keeping some of these older staples alive and kicking around. And I like to take a long hard look in the rear view mirror every now and then.
