"Break Away" by The Beach Boys

Rachel update 5-Jul-2017: 3 out of 5 of the original links are now dead.  I'm adding some new links.

In listening to this song now, I can definitely relate to some of the lyrics:

Time will not wait for me
Time is my destiny
Why change the part of me
That has to be free
....
I can break away from that lonely life
And I can do what I wanna do
And break away from that empty life
When my world is new
...
And I can break away to a better life
Without the shackles that hold me down
I going to make a way for each happy day
As my life turns around

I had to let my female self break free and I broke away from my male shackles that held me down.  That definitely made a way for me to be far happier than I ever was before...

Original post:

See yesterday's post for more background about this song.  This is another song from the reel-to-reel tape that we didn't know what it was or who did it for many years.  Then one day my brother Brad came in, pulled out one of my Beach Boys albums and there it was.  It remains one of my favorite Beach Boys songs to this day.
