Artist: Boston Album: Boston Song: More Than A Feeling Year: 1976 Top Chart Position: 5

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. Chorus :- It's more than a feeling (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 walking 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. Chorus [Guitar Solo] 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. Chorus

This song is included not because of the message or ideas in it. In fact it is included only as an example of the work done by the band Boston. Boston was the first band to use "talent in a box" effects. Their guitarist actually graduated from MIT as an Electronics Engineer, and as such, he built all of their on-stage effects. His wild creativity with wires, vacuum tubes, and transistors allowed to band to show their explosive creativity with sound. Effects such as distortion, chorus and delay allowed the band to explore a new horizon in sounds that were not previously possible.
