One of the greatest songs ever.

MORE THAN A FEELING

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

Its more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
till I see marianne walk away
I see my marianne walkin away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky

Its more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
till I see marianne walk away
I see my marianne walkin away

When Im tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped awa y. she slipped away.

Yet a sit hear and I cry as I listen to "More Than A Feeling".
Truly, as if I have just heard it for the first time.
And in a way...for the last time.

Rest in peace Bradley. You were loved by millions.

"Its been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesnt wait for me,
It keeps on rollin

Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say..."

In '82, when I was 15, I listened to this so
many times I broke the leaders off the cassette.
Good night all, I need to sleep, this won't be
such a weight on my heart tomorrow.

Did our parents feel this way when Elvis or Sinatra died?
Sheesh

I'm bumming hard:( When I was a kid in the 70's, I joined my very first band because of that song. We even played it live in our 8th grade talent show, lol. I played their first 2 records over and over again, pretty much drove my family insane too, lol. Those guys and Kiss are pretty much the main reason I ever got into the music biz in the first place.
Boston was my very first rock concert I ever saw,,,March 24th, 1979 at the University of Dayton Arena...Sammy Hagar opened up for them, was amazing. It was on their "Don't Look Back" tour, and they were fantastic. Both Delp and Scholz were Beatles fans, and it showed in their music, they took the best of what the Beatles had, and made it their own. In fact, I daresay, Boston was "the Beatles" of my generation. And Tom Scholz was the Les Paul of the same generation. I can still close my eyes, and drift away, and I'm right there in my seat in the nosebleed section, lol.
IMO, Delp was one of the greatest singers in the biz...and I can't help but note that, those guys weren't a bu.ch of out control rocks tars,,,if they were, they had a good PR agent who kept that stuff out of the spotlight, haha. And their music was always positive, was always a message of hope, etc, as corny as it may sound. Several of their songs got me through many troubled teen-aged times, and a few adult times as well. Yeah, that band in Heaven just got more kick ass. here's to ya, Brad:) *raising my beer in salute*

I loved that song too. That's the song I bought the album for - and then I found I loved the rest of the songs on it. Just one song I wasn't fond of, but all there others were hits too. Most albums have one or two good songs and the rest "so-so", but the first Boston Album was full of excellent music from beginning to end. I had it first on 8 track, then on cassette, now on cd. I haven't progressed beyond that yet! :-)
