BOSTON - MORE THAN A FEELING

1.- Historia

El hecho de ser un grupo de Hard Rock, no implica necesariamente hacer música que para algunos pueda ser estridente. Un buen ejemplo de esto es el grupo Boston. Dos de las canciones más conocidas de este grupo estadounidense son "More Than A Feeling" y "Amanda". Ambas son canciones lentas pero también potentes. Pero, no son las únicas canciones importantes del grupo. "Long Time", "Don't Look Back", "Feelin' Satisfied", "Rock And Roll Band" y "We're Ready" entre otros, también figuraron en las listas musicales. Boston se formó en 1976 y cuenta con media docena de álbumes en su repertorio.

2.- Lyrics

a)

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

Chorus:

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

b)

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

Repeat chorus

c)

When I'm tired and
thinking cold
I hide 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

Repeat chorus
