fgarib Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hey there, This is nothing to do with 2-channel, but last night on American Idol (yes, I watched it... move on! ) one of the guys sang that song, ".... soothe my soul, I wanna get lost in the Rock and Roll and drift away..." It's killing me... what song is that and who's it by? Please help. -F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Google says Rod Stewart's Drift Away: Day after day I'm more confused; I look for the light in the pouring rain. You know that's a game that I hate to lose. I'm feelin' the strain; ain't it a shame? Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away. Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away. Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time; don't understand the things that I do. ' Cause the world outside looks so unkind. Now I'm countin' on you to carry me through. Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away. Yeah, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away. And when my mind is free no melody can move me. When I'm feelin' blue guitars are comin' through to soothe me. And 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 help me along, makin' me strong. Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, yeah Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away. Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, Yeah, won't ya help me, won't ya help me, won't ya help me drift away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumpelstiltskin Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Rod Stewart may have written Drift Away, but it was Dobie Gray that made it famous. Dobie and Unkle Cracker (sp?) teamed up on it in the last couple of years.....great song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Drift Away was written by Mentor Williams, and recorded by Gray. http://www.dobiegray.com/discography4.htm He recorded it is '72. What a classic. Marvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumpelstiltskin Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I wonder why Google associates Rod Stewart with this song. Did he do a cover of Drift Away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Rod's cover of the song was on the Atlantic Crossing LP, CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
