Em 1976 Donald “Tom” Scholz e sua banda lançaram o que seria um dos principais hinos do rock, uma música tão duradoura em popularidade que fez do álbum Boston um sucesso multiplatinado.
Quem diria que Tom Scholz, um ex-engenheiro de som, sem dinheiro e com equipamentos emprestados do Aerosmith, gravaria em novembro de 1975 (um mês após meu nascimento) algo tão memorável que atravessaria décadas, influenciando diversas bandas, dentre essas o Nirvana.
A guitarra flamejante de "More Than A Feeling" culminado com a altivez dos vocais de Brad Delp, nos transportam para um penhasco envolto por densas cumulus nimbus. Estima-se que até a presente data, a banda alcançou aproximadamente 20 milhões de cópias vendidas em todo o mundo, não é por menos que o hit foi escolhido para o acervo musical do jogo de videogame Guitar Hero.
More Than A Feeling (Tom Scholz)
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
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
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
when I hear that old song they used to play
And 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
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
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
when I hear that old song they used to play
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till 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 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.
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
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
when I hear that old song they used to play
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
