      Because real art is rarely appreciated by the masses. Vincent Van Gogh had to die before his paintings hung on museum walls. Appreciate the talent that exists all around you, even if it does not receive the recognition it should.

    Day after day I'm more confused
    And 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, oh, 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 (drift away)
    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, you can 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 (drift away)
    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 givin' me
    I want you to know I believe in your song
    Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
    You help 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 (drift away)
    Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
    I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (drift away)
    Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
    I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (drift away)
    Just give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
    I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (drift away)

    Sure wasn't much applause for a great song and a great cover. You have best type of voice for that song. Not taking anything away from Dobie Gray...who put this song on the map. But I'm thinking you probably heard Uncle Kracker's cover before the original considering your age. The song explains why we listen to music. Music written about music. I love looking for covers of my favorite songs. They usually bring the right touch to the lyrics. Thank you. Great voice. You deserved a bigger applause. Maybe even some whoops and hollars.
