More Than A Feeling – Boston
Boston's classic rock song "More Than a Feeling" was written by Tom Scholz and performed by the band.
Released in September 1976 as the lead single from the band's debut album, it had the song "Smokin" as the B track.
The nostalgic lyrics and overdriven guitar always bring back lots of good memories for listeners, and it has been said that "Walk Away Renee" by Left Banke was a major influence on this song.
Over the years, the song has been covered by many artists, including *NSYNC and Nirvana, whose classic "Smells Like Teen Spirit" has striking similarities to Boston's song.
The debut single from Boston was a surprising hit and was the best-selling debut album in the United States for many years.
In the 40 odd years since its release, it has had more than 17 million sales in the US alone.
The song has now become a classic rock staple, and in 2008, it was ranked as VH1's 39th best hard rock song ever.
Rolling Stone magazine even ranks the song #500 as one of the 500 greatest songs of all time after it reached number five on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Their live tour in 2013 was a huge hit, and fans were not disappointed by the performances, despite singer Delp's passing.

Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I can hide what I'm feelin' inside
Knowin' I love you
And I, I'm getting too close again
I don't want to see it end
If I tell you tonight
Would you turn out the lights
And walk away knowin' I love you?
I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand
And I feel like today's the day
I'm lookin' for the words to say
Do you want to be free, are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't want to lose you
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
Amanda (oh girl)
I know that we can't wait
And I swear, I swear it's not a lie girl
Tomorrow may be too late
You, you and I girl
We can share a life together
And tomorrow may be too late (oh-oh)
And, feelin' the way I do
I don't want to wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you
