500 More than a feeling

" More Than a Feeling "est une chanson du groupe de rock de Boston. C'est le premier single de leur premier album éponyme sorti en Septembre 1976. Le titre atteint le numéro cinq du Billboard Hot 100 . La chanson est maintenant un incontournable du rock classique et en 2009 elle a été nommé la 39e meilleure chanson de hard rock de tous les temps par VH1.

 Inspiré par le déchirant "Walk away Renée" (le titre aussi est déchirant^^) du groupe The Left Banke, Tom Scholz, ingénieur chez Polaroïd, a peaufiné cet hymne pendant 5 ans dans sa cave. Menée par la voix haut perchée de Brad Delp, "Feeling" contribua à faire écouler 17 millions d'exemplaires de Boston (qui ser n°3 au billboard hot 200), et inspira plus tard le riff de "Smell like teen spirit" de Nirvana.

I woke up 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 Mary Ann walk away
I see my Mary Ann 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 Mary Ann walk away
I see my Maria Ann 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 Mary Ann walk away
