Boston - More Than A Feeling (lyrics)

More Than A Feeling

BOSTON

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

It's more than a feeling
(more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(more than a feeling)
'Til 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

It's more than a feeling
(more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(more than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

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

It's more than a feeling
(more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(more than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away

On the release of this song in August of 1976, I had just finished high school final exams and waited for university admission. In suspense, I got my feelings soaked in this evergreen song. Through university were Boston, Kansas, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, Iron Maiden, Rush, Peter Frampton, Black Sabbath, Queen and all the like.
Long live R n R.

[DavidStahl-dyef]

One of the most under-rated songs in the history of rock music.

[Moonbeam]

Since my name is Mary Ann this song has been a favorite. Can't believe im 67 now. I was 20 when it came out. Time just disappeared on me but this song is timeless!

[judycolson]

Omg. If you've ever seen this band in concert, you'll have a memory for a lifetime. Saw them in 2009 outdoors. Mammoth amplifiers all over the stage. We stood on our feet for the whole concert. One of the best and I've been to a lot of concerts. This band is forever etched in my memories and these great classic rock hits. Sad about the lead singer. The concert we saw was just after his passing. The guy who replaced him sounded just like Brad. Love me some Boston. Crank it up!

The first time I heard this song was in 1986, yeh I know, I'd been living in a dark hole before that; I was smitten, blasted, smashed to the floor in utter amazement. WOW! You know what? I still feel the same today whenever I hear it. Guitar, Vocals ... everything about this song is totally unbelievable.

[allanburton]

One of those songs that you can listen to over and over again and not get tired of it.

[erikwille]

Truly one of the five best rock songs ever written and composed, a song that came out near the day i was born, and i'll never get tired of hearing/listening/jamming out to :)

[billbarclay]

The harmonies, both vocal and guitar, are superb.

[alexp]

After listening to the song for 40 years, I'm just now learning the lyrics. Who's with me?

[bluekoolaid]

I don’t always listen to Boston, but when I do, the entire neighborhood does as well. 🎶 🎸

[diligentsun]

An absolutely beautiful song!
Perfectly crafted, in every way.
Glad to have heard it!
A Gift, to Humanity!

[whatishardsee]

CANNOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!! OUTSTANDING!! SING LOUD IN ETERNAL LIFE BRAD DELP!

[agudo]

There are moments in your life when the past comes to you so real that you actually feel like you are there again. I was in Boston Bay when I heard Brad Delp voice singing this song! I lost myself in that song....one of the best songs ever!

[tonyorosz]

My sister told me I needed to listen to this album she bought. I told her it better be good don't be wasting my time. It was more than good. It blew me away. Brad Delp was amazing.

[harlandnorton]

I'm only in high school now and I'm almost crying to this. Who knows how bittersweet this will be in 30, 40, 50 years, or maybe even longer from now...

[faithandfreedom]

Wonderful feelings and memories from my younger days in the 1970's. I am stuck in the 1970s. Who's with me? Have fun? 🎸

[Annita-ghvf]

[maggiesace]
