這兩天，HBO電影台有在播2015的新片《Ricki and the Flash》( 台譯：搖滾女王，又譯：曲終人不散。 )，由梅莉史翠普 ( Meryl Streep ) 擔綱主演。其實從1990的《Postcards From the Edge》( 來自邊緣的明信片 ) 到2008的《Mamma Mia！》(媽媽咪呀！)，可以看得出這位梅姨很喜歡在影片中展露自己的歌喉，而且在這部片中更是大唱特唱，此首《Drift Away》即為片中的插曲之一。




《Drift Away》的原唱為John Henry Kurtz，並收錄在其1972的專輯《Reunion》中。而最知名的則是Dobie Gray在1973的翻唱版，此版本在告示牌熱門排行榜達到第5名，也獲RIAA頒發了銷售超過50萬張的金唱片。其他翻唱此曲的歌手，也是多到族繁不及備載。2003，Uncle Kracker的翻唱版同樣進入排行榜第9名，也成為了較知名的版本。







註：飾演吉他手的男主角為澳洲歌手Rick Springfield，後也參與電視和電影的演出，其最著名的歌曲為《Jessie's Girl》/ ( 亂談345 )

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
