More Than A Feeling
I recently learned that Brad Delp, lead singer of the rock band Boston passed away. It marked the end of an era for most rock fans who grew up with the band’s best known hit, More Than A feeling. Personally, the song was one of my all-time favorites and there was a time when I used to play it every morning to start my day even though it’s not exactly a feel-good tune as its lyrics suggest.
Now that I’m entering a crossroads in my life, armed with some recent humbling experiences and faced with what are probably my toughest challenges to date, I found myself playing this song and the words below started to resonate louder than ever. They say things are supposed to get worse before they get better. I say bring ‘em on.
More Than A Feeling
By Boston, 1977
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, 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
It’s 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 away. she slipped away.
It’s 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
