Today write sentences with "carry away"

Hello everyone. I think phrasal verbs are some of the most difficult to many English learners because most of them do not have a literal translation. So I have decided to learn one or two phrasal verbs every day.

I know you can help me with that, but you also need to learn Spanish, so please write the sentence in English using the PV then try it in Spanish. Then I will correct your sentence (the Spanish sentence, of course); we will help each other out.

If you´re not sure about how to translate your sentence, just explain (in English) what your Pv means and I will help with your translation.

Today let's write sentences using the phrasal verb:

"carry away"

Common meanings of 'carry away' (often used with 'get'):

1) remove

2) inspire, affect emotionally, to lose control, to become excessively involved, to take something too far

(Is it the same if I say "...we have to let ourselves be/get carried away by the rhythm of the music?, please correct me.)

Pero, ellos son mejor amigos. / But, they are best friends.
