If I could sum my November up or the way I feel about my life this year, it would be in the lyrics of this song:

https://youtu.be/NIuyDWzctgY?si=69MaZAzwPLRcsbd7 (Drift Away by Dobie Gray)

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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Beginning to think that I’m wastin’ time
I don’t understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
So I’m countin’ on you
To carry me through

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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 (Free my soul)
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul (Free my soul)
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

[Outro]
Na na na, won’t you, won’t you take me
Oh, take me

I don’t know what the meaning is behind the lyrics for the writer but, for me, I want my soul to be free and I want to drift away.
