Day after day I'm more confused

Jazz paused and looked around the forest, confused. Where would music be coming from out here?

Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain

You know that's a game that I hate to lose

I'm feeling the strain, ain't it a shame

Jazz crept silently through the forest, emerging onto a white, sandy beach, the setting sun setting the water on fire. The source of the music was only a few yards away from where Jazz had emerged. Soundwave sat on the sand, leaning back against a palm tree, watching the sunset.

Give me the beat boys, free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat boys, fee my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Won't you take me away

The saboteur froze. He was far away from base and alone; if Soundwave attacked, he was done for. So the mech stayed still and watched as the Decepticon communications officer watched the sunset, the music pouring from the speakers in his chest.

Beggin' to think that I'm wasting time

And I don't understand the things I do

The world outside looks so unkind

And I'm countin' on you to carry me through

The sitting mech heaves a huge sigh, the sound filled with exhaustion. It is the most emotion Jazz has ever heard from the cold decepticon

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

Won't you take me away

A second voice joins the human singing the song, and Jazz can only listen in awe. The voice is mid-range but deep and smooth as melted chocolate, beautiful just to hear.

And when my mind is free

You know your melody can move me

And when I'm feelin' blue

The guitars come through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy you've given me

I want you to know that I believe in your song

And rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony

You helped me along, you're makin' me strong

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

Won't you take me away

Jazz sinks deeper into cover as Soundwave stands up, singing along to the last chorus of the song, a small smile on his faceplates.

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

Won't you take me away

The song ends, and Soundwave sighs again as he turns off the music. "Reactive vocal disruptors," he says in his real voice, and pauses for a moment. "Vocal disruptors active," he continues, voice back to its usual monotone. That done, he stretches his arms to the sky and takes off silently over the ocean, toward the setting sun. Jazz stays hidden for a moment longer before emerging onto the beach and walking cautiously over to where the larger mech had sat. Something glints in the sand, and the saboteur picks it up. It is a small data pad with a picture on it of a much more emotional Soundwave standing in front of a Cybertronian club, the glyphs at the bottom reading "DJ Wave, Best on Cybertron." Jazz stares at the picture for a moment longer before replacing the pad in the sand, transforming, and driving away.

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

Won't you take me away
