RIP, Brad Delp. A titan of song gone too soon. Always keep in touch with your depressed friends, yall.

This song was my and my late wife's favorite. She passed of cancer way to young. This song has such a different meaning for me now because of the lyric, "When I'm 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 away.
The kids and I miss you Krissy, , , we know you're watching over us.❣️

Guitarist Tom Scholz is an MIT-trained engineer and inventor who also happens to be the mastermind and songwriter. His guitar effects designs still inspire generations of guitarists.

Brad Delp was the greatest most underrated, under-appreciated singer of our time. He had the natural talent to crush it in any genre of music if he wanted to. Brad, sang like an Angel to us, now he sings to the Angels as One. R.I.P. ❤

Man, Brad Delp had one of the most legendary voices. RIP.

[lisal.]

The amazing Brad Delp. Best rock vocalist of all time and it ain’t even close. RIP Brad

[Vinster]

Brad Delp is criminally underappreciated. Absolutely phenomenal talent. RIP

[jimcorbett]

See, no one paid attention to any of this in the '70's- we just just instinctively knew Boston was freakin' awesome!

For come context, I was in high school when this song came out. This album blew EVERYBODY away because nothing else sounded like it - and nothing after ever really did either. It was one of the biggest debut albums in history, primarily because the guitarist was also the songwriter and producer, much like Todd Rundgren (look him up). Tom Scholz is a genius in every way possible - he thinks up sounds and layers that nobody else can imagine, he designs circuitry and built a studio to create sounds that nobody else has heard, and he finds some of the best singers and musicians available to realize that vision.

As others have pointed out, Tom Scholz is an MIT trained engineer and an all-out genius. That guitar doubling and harmonizing that you're hearing isn't multi-track recording, no, he invented a circuit to make that sound. More importantly, this was all analog - digital was still a few years off. This is, without a doubt, the pinnacle of nerd-rock. Just a smart guy in his basement, writing, playing and producing songs that had no equal at that time.

The cherry on top the ice cream is that he was also a musical prodigy - the way the melody is traded back forth between the guitar and the lead singer is flawless. It's essentially structured a duet and there's a constant flow between the two voices. Again, nobody had ever sounded like this before. There were great artists with very talented singers and musicians in this era: Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, The Eagles, Stevie Wonder at his apex (swoon), Fleetwood Mac. Disco was big, Funk was in full throttle (Earth, Wind and Fire!), Punk was right around the corner - BUT NOBODY SOUNDED LIKE THIS. Nobody ever heard this before. This was techie, it was harmonic and it was without a doubt rock and roll. Minds were blown.

"This is not normal" That is such a powerful understatement for a song that has been everywhere for the last 45 years.
I appreciate your charm, knowledge and voice. You are part of the solution. Thank you.
I love at 14:50 went you went from analyst to moved. Beautiful.

17, 000 people singing every song word for word in St. Louis, it was an other worldly experience. People said that they couldn’t reproduce their sound live, but from 5th row, center floor Boston was absolutely amazing. I’ve seen many great bands in my 63 years, however none have ever topped that show. Thanks for acknowledging Brad’s extraordinary talent. RIP Brother.

[Jonathan-iqsg]

Brad Delp was simply phenomenal. RIP Brad 😞

[movingtarget]

People will never fully comprehend how epically epic this album was. AND IS.

[robsmackhead]

The whole album is brilliant. Recommend listening to the whole album.

[matzabean]

You are gifted at this format. You know your stuff, you explain it clearly, you’re funny and animated, genuine, and engaging, and you’re interested and interesting. Brava!

[PhotoTrekr]

I still get chills when he hits the high notes.

[theironherder]

Rick Beato analyzes the instruments for this song in a way that complements Lolli's excellent analysis of the vocals. Rick's video for this is number 71 in his series "What makes this song great". Highly, highly recommended.

[fredwerza]

Millenials and Zoomers will never fully grasp how huge Boston's debut album was in the 70's --- literally EVERYONE had it and cranked it out the windows in the summer!

[mattphillips]

For an 11 year of kid growing up in Boston in 1977 this song was LIFE.

[brianlebrun]

This was a timeless album and almost 50 years later it still holds it's own against anything out there. FYI, all the vocals, lead and backup on all the albums were done by lead singer Brad incredible achievement.
