I danced to this song with my wife in her hospital room the day before she died. I chose it because she wanted me to continue in life and be the same man I was the past 26 years we were together. I've tried but that was a man I'll never be again
True pain, sorry brother. Try to be satisfied with the great memories. But there is no antidote. The hole in your heart won't be filled. Try to be grateful for what you had. That's what I try to do, it helps.
Brad Delp was so underrated as a rock and roll singer to me he had one of the best voices he had so much range and smoothness and ease to hit the high notes he was unbelievable
I’m so sorry. My late husband used to play this for me. He was a brilliant musician. I feel your sadness. It’s a shitty club being widowed. We don’t want anymore members.
I’m 64, we absolutely lived in the best time ever. This song I’ve listened to 10’s of 1000’d of times and it sounds as good as the first time I heard it
Excuse me, I'm not from your first world or English speaking, but as an old musician I will tell you that Brad Delp has always been one of the best Rock singers in history and John Lawton one of the best Hard Rock expressionists. His big problem is having been superior to other established vocalists in famous bands in the music industry, the hypocrisy of the bourgeois Punk fashion and the aesthetic and sound dictatorship of the 80's destabilized and harmed the bands of these wonderful singers, in the case of Staley it was the unique of the hateful Grunge good to listen to, honestly He deserved to be in a better and good heavy band, in my opinion, the Kurt Cubain era contributed more in visual digitalization and was extremely disposable musically. Regarding Delp and Lawton, my heart knows that they have never been underestimated, rather they have been envied.
@@rafaeldossantos4791 What I mean by underrated is when supposed “experts” on the subject never bring up his name when talking about the best vocalists. Even the casual rock fan knows Robert Plant was the lead vocalist for Led Zeppelin and Freddy Mercury was the lead vocalist for Queen. Although Boston didn’t have quite the catalog of songs of either, very few could even tell you Brad Delp was Boston’s vocalist. I know that Boston isn’t as popular as either, but Boston’s debut album has had more airplay on radio than any album in the history of rock. And EVERY Boston song that Brad sang was a vocal masterpiece. But real fans of rock music such as yourself do indeed know the truth. I also kinda get your comments about Layne but Alice In Chains is a very highly respected band despite being a Grunge band. Their album Dirt is widely regarded as a masterpiece in rock history.
@@mikee2923 We continue with the same problem then, Grunge was more fashion than music, it consisted of putting a young model dressed in a lumberjack shirt posing in front of a camera while the press overrated them with myths of heavy drug use so that the fans would crown them as if They were Jim Morrison, but musically they were totally mediocre, today nobody remembers Grunge (Luckily) but Brad Delp does.
@@rafaeldossantos4791 You say you don’t live in the US. Drug addiction was a main component of most Grunge music. Layne Staley’s drug use was notorious. Alice In Chains masterpiece album Dirt was mainly songs written about drug addiction. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, widely regarded as the king of Grunge was also a notorious drug user. These musicians weren’t models dressed like lumberjacks. Most of them were never considered sex symbols. They dressed like they did because of where they were from. Grunge was based in Seattle, Washington in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. This was how most people dressed that lived there. Also the Grunge era followed the hair metal trend that dominated American music during much of the 1980s and they wanted to distinguish themselves from that era and briefly took rock music in a new direction. Their songs were mainly about drug addiction, loneliness and being outcasts where most 80s music revolved around sex and partying. Grunge was the exact polar opposite of hair band pop metal music. Popular music in the United States is usually influenced by the mood and feelings of the young generation. To be brutally honest, the 1980s was the last period of optimism in the United States. It has steadily gone downhill since then. I’m 55 and I feel sorry for the youth of today. What we called the American dream is basically out of reach to most young people today. They have been brainwashed into believing our country is evil and needs to be destroyed. They will eventually vote in more socialism and eventually communism at which point the United States will cease to exist.
💯 buddy this song just hits hard when I 1st listened to it 40 yrs ago and even now at 55 yrs old, great memories growing up late 70s and 80s, simple times, my older bro fave band and now that he has past away. This song brings tears to my eyes knowing how he struggled, I miss you brother R.I.P.😢
This song is so sad but beautiful when it was new it made no sense . Fast forward 3 decades to learn it was about his depression after his suicide it made total sense .very very sad..
Anyone who tries unsuccessfully to commit suicide should be a concern for everyone around them. Shame on those who were close to Brad during his battles.
Boyfriend gave me this song. We were both broken from long marriages but we tried as a couple. I found him deceased 8 yrs ago. Heart attack at 55 . I feel at peace w this song. He didn't believe he was good enuf for me. Love is like that
I've listened to Boston's songs since i was 18 years old, now I'm 64 and still having goosebumps listening to this song. Brad Delp you're being missed. RIP man. 😔
I always thought suicide was something a person would think about for a long time. I was and am wrong.. It can happen within a blink of an eye. Bc I am experiencing it myself. It is truly a Sad situation to lose Your Hope.
He told a friend right before he committed suicide that he no longer enjoyed anything in this world, and that there was no point in staying any longer! I guess when you've had a belly full, and you want to vacate this world and are ready for the new adventure, ya gotta respect a person's choice!! Some feel mad, some are heartbroken, some simply say it's what he wanted, I enjoyed the music he left behind for all of us to remember him.. .
I listen to the album version and compared it to live and I really think this is lip syncing at its finest. Check out the drums coming in at 39 seconds and tell me those taps are making that sound..... just saying.........still a great song either way...but how come Milli Vanilli comes to mind... LOL
I'm 67 been to 54 concerts in my lifetime, have seen most all of the classic bands dating back to 1971, Boston was the best sounding show ever, sounded like they were tracking the albums, Irvine meadows Ca, 1983
Delphi was under pressure to follow Scmidts dictates.A bit of bad chemistry unfolded with Brad feeling deleted from the love of his life,Boston. In his mind he needed to escape the pressures of stardom.
I agree definitely a goosebump song. I have to listen to it at least one time everyday. It still upsets me that Brad took his own life. Long Live Boston
Man! Those of us that grew up in the 70's had the best music. Almost every week from 74-79 one of the classics came out. The bands: Boston, Van Halen, Eagles, Skynyrd the list goes on and on.
I was 14 and had a crush, Brad Delp brother of Wendy my friend. He and his band would practice in his barn at his family's home on Conant Street in Danvers Massachusetts. Approaching his house with Wendy I could hear them playing and wanted to sit there for hours to listen. I also lived and grew up in Danvers. He was so handsome when he was a young man with such great talent even then. He became even more handsome as he got older. I thought...he's going places, and he certainly did. I cried when I heard we lost him. He is sorely missed by all that he touched with his music and his love for life. He lived it well. We miss you!
Try every week from 1967 to 1979. we were SO LUCKY to be born into the pinnacle of musical creativity. Proof: everywhere you go and everywhere you see its classic rock from the 60's -70's
I listen to the album version and compared it to live and I really think this is lip syncing at its finest. Check out the drums coming in at 39 seconds and tell me those taps are making that sound..... just saying.........still a great song either way...but how come Milli Vanilli comes to mind... LOL
@@deannam5721 Very observant! I’m a recording engineer/producer & the live performance audio is taken out. You are correct that what you’re hearing is the album recording (edited w no guitar solo though). I’m sure the song needed to be shortened for a live performance to keep the song under 4 mins. The full length album version is 6:38.
Why??? When something ISNT rated AS HIGH as it should be you call it UNDERrated. When something is rated HIGHER than it should be you call it OVERrated. What exactly is your problem with that sir???
@@rmbuilder1 Well, I suppose I am O.C.D. about certain words and phrases that commenters extoll. I have no answer it just seems the "overrated" verbiage has gained momentum during the past 4 years or so.
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
Too many guys can identify with this song but we just keep it bottled up inside. God bless those of us who suffer in silence and put on a brave face every day.
Amazing that a rock song written almost 50 years ago, can still be so moving and inspiring. The songwriting, tone, musicianship, harmonies, and vocals were way ahead of its time. And for all this to be done by two young men in their makeshift recording studio in a downstairs residential basement blows my mind. First two albums were runaway hits! Tom Scholz and Brad Delp were a match made in Heaven. Incredible albums that are still on continual radio airplay to this day. This tells you how good the music of Boston really is…
Thank goodness you know how it really went down. Tom was a genius and I wish I had a vocal range like Brad's. Two of the best they EVER were, and underappreciated at best.
I got to know this band through my dad. We only have their first album in cd but I love all their songs. I just love when it comes on mainly on 100.3 the bus.
I’d give damn near anything to go back to the time when this music was new, and so would most anybody over 60 that I know! Excellent tunes, not like today’s crap.
@@troymanzey3635 You can bring it down even more to 40+ 😬. I was born one year after debut album came out and heard my first Boston song at the age of 16 (More Than A Feeling)... I can still remember how excited I was buying that CD, I played it non stop. Miss those days.
@@MidwestCoinHunter I can tell you first hand, I was 17 when this album came out. I heard More Than A Feeling on the radio the day it was released, and I raced to the record store and bought it. I played it all night long and of course made a cassette copy of it. I just couldn't believe that every song was as good as the next. It is still my favorite album of all time.
Always thought he had the most AMAZING voice I’ve ever heard in rock music….he’s at the top of my list! It truly breaks my heart that he couldn’t seem to see/value himself the way others did.
@@lindahunter8457 I still think about the time I heard - I miss that wonderful voice but thankfully I can still play songs like this one again and again.
You said a mouthful there…. Why, why , why are these beautiful people killing tgemselves and overdosing like they have…. Just way too many….Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, ect…
There are very few bands that when I hear them play on the radio I turn it up. This is one of them. I just love them. Very distinctive sound which cannot be duplicated. Brad still made a mark in music history even though he wasn't finished yet. RIP. You will never be forgotten.❤
Radio Stations In Houston in 1980s' Played Only The Most Popular Hits of Albums. To Hear a Song 8x in 8 hrs at work was overplayed. Even When We Heard Boston, It Was A Breathe of Fresh Air. Final a Third Album Came Out. I liked the entire Album. But Then again Song Amanda barely had Air play. When Life Has A Certain Grip On A Human SOUL, Even With Our Great Musicians, Sad To Know What Could Have Been More Magic From Them. We Always Want More. Brad Delp, Scott Weiland&Chris Cornell To Me Such PowerHouse, Talent, Even Chester Bennington. All These Years Pass By- More Than A Feeling Album Cover- Never Knew It Was A Guitar.
The lyrics almost seem like a cry for help of how he felt about himself: " I can't get any stronger And I can't climb any higher You'll never know just how hard I've tried Cry a little longer And hold a little tighter Emotions can't be satisfied You look up at me And somewhere in your mind, you see A man I'll never be" RIP Brad, you were an incredible talent.
In an obscure interview, he was asked who he was singing this to. Brad said, "To all the people who think they know who I am through Boston." I wish I'd kept the article.
Being from Toledo I am definitely proud of the fact that Tom is also from Toledo. Founder, song writer and lead guitar you would think the bands name would be Toledo.
Boston at their finest hour. Before the drama, the lawsuits, the 6 years in between albums. A great Rock and Roll band with the best damn singer in Rock and Roll history.
Working with Boston was such a pleasure for a young kid from Cambridge. Brad was even sweeter than his voice. Thanks for the great times my friend. R.I.P.
I’ve been reading everything I can and Brad Delp. Watching his music videos listening to everybody describe what kind of a man he was. I can’t help but to shed a tear. From what I’ve seen he’s a person that anybody would want to be Around. I wish there was more men like Brad Delp this world we would be a better place. I am so sad that he is gone and I’ve never met him, but what I have heard about him I would have loved to of met him be his friend.
@@johnfielder71 Those are great sentiments to someone who genuinely seems like a friendly stranger, John! Have an awesome day slipping away in the music!
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.

A haunted masterpiece ! Who knows how many people struggle every day to get by and just hide under the eminence pressure one puts on their self. Absolutely beautifully written and performed!
Boston should have been in the hall of fame a hundred times over. Their ability to harmonize the way they did was simply beautiful to listen to. Brad you are missed by millions and will never be forgotten!!
Agreed! The HOF is really the HOS......Hall of Shame! Grand Funk Railroad has been around longer than Boston, and I think was the best hard rock band that ever came out of America. They're not in either. We should start a real hall of fame somewhere.....
All the vocal harmonies on the record were all brad. Live they used a harmonizer on brads voice. I believe Tom Scholz designed and built it. Tom's tone was the frequency at which his wah was hardwired to.
I accidentally finded this music in the day that my wife died, so every time i listen it , my eyes turn in a sad and deep ocean. Right now, for God sake, 7 years has passed by , and the pain still destroying my heart.
It Boogles my MIND that this band is not in the hall of fame . This Band and many others that don't even get a sniff .. Please Voters , do the right thing and induct this band and others , before its too LATE !!!
Omg! Steve Clark! Feel like I’m in the twilight zone! Is this the Steve Clark? An if so why I mtv back in the day say what happened to you? I see ur pic if I’m mistaken so sorry but see pic on Boston here
It still breaks my heart knowing this incredibly gentle soul and very special man is gone. Thank you Brad for so many incredible memories and that voice! You are missed very much!
RIP Brad It broke my heart knowing that the pressures that were upon you were bad enough for your life to end so tragically. Tom how and why could this have gone so far ? Brad it was an honor to meet you. Until we meet again.
You’re so lucky i wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
I've had an incredible life & have a wife & family who think the world of me & yet I've been living this song for 45 years. It gets me right where my throat meets my chest.
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine
I'm in RI, 64 years old, here's what changed around the late 70's, the production of the first albums of Boston, Foreigner, and Kansas was just so sharp, so crisp...you listen to every song on Foreigner's first album, they are incredible songs...heck, even Styx was real musicians, talented musicians making real quality music. Check out "crystal ball" live by Styx back in the day, presently, I've seen Halestorm live four times, Lzzy without a doubt is queen of female vocals, better than Benatar and slightly better than Ann Wilson in her prime, they kick ass.👍💣🔥
@@kevinwalsh4652 I love, and listen to every single one of those bands you mentioned!! I also like YES and a ton of others I can't remember at the moment. A lot of Van Halen lately and Thin Lizzy. Cheers!!!
@Stephani Rodriguez I wish I was around that long.. I feel like I missed some amazing live shows.. not one person with a phone in their hand. Everyone my age is a zombie on their phone :(
If you want to be the man I see, Yahweh will help you if you ask with sincerity and willingness. I am speaking all men aspiring to be a real husband. Boston was real. Best ever
You’re so lucky i wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
I saw Boston (with Brad) once in Manchester, NH. Glad I did too. I was even going to see Beetlejuice, and had already purchased the tickets, but, unfortunately Brad left us. He died in March of 2007, in NH at age 55. . .
i got to see them in hershey pa on the corporate america tour and brad was brad, they did a 3 hour concert, an thousands of us sat in pouring rain that entire concert an loved every min of it
Im 21. Boston has been one of my favs for about 4 years. Most kids/people my age havnt heard of them even. It’s a shame. Rock on Boston, there will never be another you

Sorry to hear that... I'm not a drummer - a drummer I'll never be... your hubby got to do something many of us (I'm sure) can only dream about... God rest his soul...
Beautiful song, beautiful voice! RIP Brad! Boston and Journey are the best, at least for me. Great songs, great musicians and extraordinary singers. ❤️
This singer was one of the greats and you can watch him sing and you know he was a really good guy. He certainly loved his music and loved singing. So tragic when a great person with so much talent takes his life. We all are at a loss for his voice is gone forever but his memory always appears when I hear this song and the many other vocals he was part of.
RIP Brad Delp what a voice
You, ain't just whistling Dixie (oh, shoot, not PC....well fuck it and the horse it rode in on!) there, son.....
Sad death.
@@richardkrea very sad. He said he was so lonely. Being lonely in the presence of others is painful.
Can't train for a beautiful voice, one either has it or doesn't.
Unbelievable vocalist RIP BRAD

You know it !!
Yes yes yes absolutely 😊❤
RIP Brad Delp and Sib Hashian.
RIP
Ellos son los mejores también 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Que en paz descansen y todos extrañaremos a Brad Delp y a Sib Hashian,.de Boston 🎸🇺🇲

Long live rock!
67 ..
I feel you brother..we sure did..going to high school in the 70s and listening to these songs was the best time of my life..by the way..Im also 63
Yep I hear ya. Good times, good music. Boston was ( & is) always one of my favorite bands. 63 here too.
I’m 64, we absolutely lived in the best time ever. This song I’ve listened to 10’s of 1000’d of times and it sounds as good as the first time I heard it
高校生の時に組んでいたバンドでコピーをしていました。仕事でアメリカに留学をできて歌詞の意味を英語でわかるようになりました。このギターサウンドは素晴らしい！
素敵ですね～😊
今年62歳。この時期は凄いバンドが多かったしボストンも大好きでコンサートも行きました。
いまだに歌詞はよくわかりませんがギターサウンド最高❤
Brad Delp the most underrated vocalist in rock n roll. He’s definitely among the best. Top 5 easily. RIP Brad.
In my top five, also, along with John Lawton and Layne Staley.

Simply amazing voice!! Saw Boston twice in concert!! Amazing!!

Brad Delp was such a tortured soul...and nobody knew. such a shame. I would have loved to have been your friend ❤🩹 RIP brother.
Anyone who tries unsuccessfully to commit suicide should be a concern for everyone around them. Shame on those who were close to Brad during his battles.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Was weißt du über seine Probleme?
Brad Delp's voice was a gift from God, it's a shame he took his own life.
RIP Brad we miss you...
I wish he knew he was the man he'd never be to us...just makes me so sad.
Men are forced to hold themselves to unrealistic standards. This deprives us of attaining our potential and best selves to benefit society.
Brad was absolutely blessed with incredible voice.
One either has it or doesn't for a beautiful voice, can't train for it.
The voice.. Depression is real
Now there are suicide hot lines
I wish we could have saved him❤
TODAY JULY 06 2023 STILL LISTENIN TO THIS KIND OF MUSIC I AM 73YRS OLD NOW
June 2024 still listening
10 July 2024 and listening to this song
Boyfriend gave me this song. We were both broken from long marriages but we tried as a couple.
I found him deceased 8 yrs ago.
Heart attack at 55 .
I feel at peace w this song. He didn't believe he was good enuf for me.
Love is like that
Never gets old
I've listened to Boston's songs since i was 18 years old, now I'm 64 and still having goosebumps listening to this song. Brad Delp you're being missed. RIP man. 😔
I'm 63 and I feel the same.
Absolutely, it's been too long, never got to see them live but what an amazing band
Im 64 too..Best...
I’m 72 and play this tune every day in my mind
This band is amazing and gives me goosebumps as well...Music can be different but never better than Boston!
This is how it is done boys & girls of today's so called music talent...
@jessie, that is a brilliant statement, because most of the crap nowadays is unbearable,
Long live 70's, 80's.
Yes but today we have recordings being played at a live concert just like this one. If I was there I would be pissed.
100% Correct!!!!!!!
God that man could sing! I wish he would have talked to someone and gotten help instead of taking his own life.....😢
I always thought suicide was something a person would think about for a long time. I was and am wrong.. It can happen within a blink of an eye. Bc I am experiencing it myself. It is truly a Sad situation to lose Your Hope.
Yourself??? No, no, no……it is aweful for those you leave behind…I’m sorry you are going thru this…. There is help
He told a friend right before he committed suicide that he no longer enjoyed anything in this world, and that there was no point in staying any longer! I guess when you've had a belly full, and you want to vacate this world and are ready for the new adventure, ya gotta respect a person's choice!! Some feel mad, some are heartbroken, some simply say it's what he wanted, I enjoyed the music he left behind for all of us to remember him..
.
If you are not absolutely convinced or ready to exit this life then simply say no, today I choose to live!!
He did
This is Boston’s finest song, period.
The guitar solo is stunning
Easily…

Agree 100% too bad this video removed it. 😢
I agree wholeheartedly Jimmy.
It's More Than can I borrow A Feeling
By far the best Boston song...if you listen to this and don't feel the pain, you're not human.
Makes me cry every time…damn. Deep
How can a song that I’ve listened to for 40+ years, still bring tears to my eyes.....
Glad I am not the only one.
It does, doesn't it?
You bet it does.
I listen to the album version and compared it to live and I really think this is lip syncing at its finest.
Check out the drums coming in at 39 seconds and tell me those taps are making that sound.....
just saying.........still a great song either way...but how come Milli Vanilli comes to mind... LOL
because its GREAT
This comes from an era when bands wrote songs without a formula like today's songs. It was a creation. A work of art. No paint by number.
Or Autotune either!
I'm 67 been to 54 concerts in my lifetime, have seen most all of the classic bands dating back to 1971, Boston was the best sounding show ever, sounded like they were tracking the albums, Irvine meadows Ca, 1983
He was lip syncing in this video.
IKR !!! This live sounds like their studio recording
So glad I got to see them with Brad Delp.
I don’t always listen to Boston, but when I do so do my neighbors
That's the only way to listen to them!! Turn it up!!
I get you lol
Exactly I know the feeling I'm guilty of the same thing.
Haaa. Good one
Boston is my Neighbors favorite band, weather they like it or not😜😋😃🙊!!!
This song never fails to send chills down my spine..and a tear in my eye. One of the best. RIP Brad.
Right on
Delphi was under pressure to follow Scmidts dictates.A bit of bad chemistry unfolded with Brad feeling deleted from the love of his life,Boston.
In his mind he needed to escape the pressures of stardom.
les belles année loin de la guerre et du covid merci boston la vrai amérique
Yes indeed
I agree definitely a goosebump song. I have to listen to it at least one time everyday. It still upsets me that Brad took his own life. Long Live Boston
One of the best songs ever written. RIP Brad Delp. I love this because it makes me realise i should be better than i am.
That describes me to a T
You are probably better than you know
Man! Those of us that grew up in the 70's had the best music. Almost every week from 74-79 one of the classics came out. The bands: Boston, Van Halen, Eagles, Skynyrd the list goes on and on.
Absolutely was a smorgasbord of solid music.
Stolen my thought exactly. Man if you could just go back and relive it.
Wishbone Ash
I was 14 and had a crush, Brad Delp brother of Wendy my friend. He and his band would practice in his barn at his family's home on Conant Street in Danvers Massachusetts. Approaching his house with Wendy I could hear them playing and wanted to sit there for hours to listen. I also lived and grew up in Danvers. He was so handsome when he was a young man with such great talent even then. He became even more handsome as he got older. I thought...he's going places, and he certainly did. I cried when I heard we lost him. He is sorely missed by all that he touched with his music and his love for life. He lived it well. We miss you!
Try every week from 1967 to 1979. we were SO LUCKY to be born into the pinnacle of musical creativity. Proof: everywhere you go and everywhere you see its classic rock from the 60's -70's
Brad Delp, a voice that will never be duplicated. RIP bro
Amen...!!
I listen to the album version and compared it to live and I really think this is lip syncing at its finest.
Check out the drums coming in at 39 seconds and tell me those taps are making that sound.....
just saying.........still a great song either way...but how come Milli Vanilli comes to mind... LOL
@@deannam5721 Definitely lip synching. Brittany Spears type lip synching.
@Deanna M - no doubt this was dubbed over. But it’s not the same as the recording from the album.
@@deannam5721 Very observant! I’m a recording engineer/producer & the live performance audio is taken out. You are correct that what you’re hearing is the album recording (edited w no guitar solo though). I’m sure the song needed to be shortened for a live performance to keep the song under 4 mins. The full length album version is 6:38.
Honestly one of the most underrated songs ever.
So agree. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
Enough with using the term underrated.
Why??? When something ISNT rated AS HIGH as it should be you call it UNDERrated. When something is rated HIGHER than it should be you call it OVERrated. What exactly is your problem with that sir???
@@HighSpeedNoDrag what word should they use then?...
@@rmbuilder1 Well, I suppose I am O.C.D. about certain words and phrases that commenters extoll. I have no answer it just seems the "overrated" verbiage has gained momentum during the past 4 years or so.
I am 55 years old and have only been caught speeding 4 times, Boston was playing all 4 times. Coincidence?
No freaking way!!
Long live gen x
Boston and brad , you gave the world something special !
R. I . P . BRAD FORVER !
Rip Brad,you were a shining star with a beautiful voice
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
Oml miss him so much!!!!
All I can say is, if Bach were alive today, he would weep when he heard this.
Too many guys can identify with this song but we just keep it bottled up inside. God bless those of us who suffer in silence and put on a brave face every day.
And get it done.
Suffering is not a virtue.
what a beautiful comment a brave face is indeed the only way thank you
@@harpert579 Perhaps I should have said "sacrifice".
Come on gents. Be the guy you are. Really be that!
Amazing that a rock song written almost 50 years ago, can still be so moving and inspiring. The songwriting, tone, musicianship, harmonies, and vocals were way ahead of its time. And for all this to be done by two young men in their makeshift recording studio in a downstairs residential basement blows my mind. First two albums were runaway hits! Tom Scholz and Brad Delp were a match made in Heaven. Incredible albums that are still on continual radio airplay to this day. This tells you how good the music of Boston really is…
Thank goodness you know how it really went down. Tom was a genius and I wish I had a vocal range like Brad's. Two of the best they EVER were, and underappreciated at best.
I couldn't agree more. At 61, I'm trying to expose my grandsons to the greatest music ever
Can’t get my daughter to get into Boston yet, but at least she loves Rush and Triumph. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad (pun intended).
I got to know this band through my dad. We only have their first album in cd but I love all their songs. I just love when it comes on mainly on 100.3 the bus.
The way Tom makes his guitar sing just blows my mind. I think Barry's back-up vocals are often overlooked too.
I’d give damn near anything to go back to the time when this music was new, and so would most anybody over 60 that I know! Excellent tunes, not like today’s crap.
Couldn't agree more!! Except for bringing the age down to 50+! lol, 😄👍
@@troymanzey3635
You can bring it down even more to 40+ 😬. I was born one year after debut album came out and heard my first Boston song at the age of 16 (More Than A Feeling)... I can still remember how excited I was buying that CD, I played it non stop. Miss those days.
Would luv to c em again with Delp that'll never happen but enjoyed it while he wuz here
imagine that you had a delorian car and programm it to go on every live concert of 70's and 80's!
Damn time !
@@MidwestCoinHunter I can tell you first hand, I was 17 when this album came out. I heard More Than A Feeling on the radio the day it was released, and I raced to the record store and bought it. I played it all night long and of course made a cassette copy of it. I just couldn't believe that every song was as good as the next. It is still my favorite album of all time.
Delp's vocal range and that of the other band members was phenomenal. You know your music is good when it's still popular 5 decades later.
I agree and became a fan later after Delp passed away. So sad he did not get the help he needed. RIP, sir.
That's Delp singing harmony with himself. This is a live visual synced to the studio version of the song.
Amen!
Always thought he had the most AMAZING voice I’ve ever heard in rock music….he’s at the top of my list! It truly breaks my heart that he couldn’t seem to see/value himself the way others did.
@@lgempet2869 I agree. We lost him way to early.
The greatest male vocalist of all time RIP Brad Delp!
............absolutely agree. So sad of his passing.
Absolutely. Best singer. So sad he felt alone.
@@lindahunter8457 I still think about the time I heard - I miss that wonderful voice but thankfully I can still play songs like this one again and again.
Him and lou gramm
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brad was in my view one of the best vocalists on the planet in the 70S
The best of all time, so effortlessly!!
One of the best singers ever.
You said a mouthful there….
Why, why , why are these beautiful people killing tgemselves and overdosing like they have…. Just way too many….Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, ect…
It breaks my heart
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brad is one of the great voices of our century.
Del Shoemaker he sure was. I love his voice.
He sings with so heart in his voice. The other successors don't seem to have that heart when they sing, just hits the notes.
so much heart
I didn't know Barry's vocals are right there with Brad's voice
You got that right Del🙂
One of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL songs ever.
There are very few bands that when I hear them play on the radio I turn it up. This is one of them. I just love them. Very distinctive sound which cannot be duplicated. Brad still made a mark in music history even though he wasn't finished yet. RIP. You will never be forgotten.❤
Me too….they are one of a kind!! Love them so much!!
Radio Stations In Houston in 1980s' Played Only The Most Popular Hits of Albums. To Hear a Song 8x in 8 hrs at work was overplayed. Even When We Heard Boston, It Was A Breathe of Fresh Air. Final a Third Album Came Out. I liked the entire Album. But Then again Song Amanda barely had Air play. When Life Has A Certain Grip On A Human SOUL, Even With Our Great Musicians, Sad To Know What Could Have Been More Magic From Them. We Always Want More. Brad Delp, Scott Weiland&Chris Cornell To Me Such PowerHouse, Talent, Even
Chester Bennington. All These Years Pass By- More Than A Feeling Album Cover- Never Knew It Was A Guitar.
The lyrics almost seem like a cry for help of how he felt about himself:
" I can't get any stronger
And I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
And hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind, you see
A man I'll never be"
RIP Brad, you were an incredible talent.
Yep. I've always wondered if this song was playing in his mind the day he checked out, March 9, 2007. RIP.
In an obscure interview, he was asked who he was singing this to. Brad said, "To all the people who think they know who I am through Boston." I wish I'd kept the article.
@@chazzkramer7676 wow🥲
When bands made real music
One of the greatest bands to EVER exist
The Greatest Band Ever
Being from Toledo I am definitely proud of the fact that Tom is also from Toledo. Founder, song writer and lead guitar you would think the bands name would be Toledo.
You hit the nail right on the head.
Boston and Van Halen..
👍👍👏👏👏👍👍🙏
Boston at their finest hour. Before the drama, the lawsuits, the 6 years in between albums. A great Rock and Roll band with the best damn singer in Rock and Roll history.
Timeless music. Listened to this the first time when I was 15, now I'm 62 and this still hasn't lost his power and emotion...
Same here, bud! I'm 62 also!!!
62 club! Love this song❤
61 here first time heard this was in 78. Picked it up the first week it came out been one of my favorites since I was 16.
60 💕
I know, right? I'm 61 and wondering where the years went. This song always tugged at my heart. I was a teen, and now...well, I'm just old.
Working with Boston was such a pleasure for a young kid from Cambridge. Brad was even sweeter than his voice. Thanks for the great times my friend.
R.I.P.
Wow! It is true!?
I’ve been reading everything I can and Brad Delp. Watching his music videos listening to everybody describe what kind of a man he was. I can’t help but to shed a tear. From what I’ve seen he’s a person that anybody would want to be Around. I wish there was more men like Brad Delp this world we would be a better place. I am so sad that he is gone and I’ve never met him, but what I have heard about him I would have loved to of met him be his friend.
@@johnfielder71 Those are great sentiments to someone who genuinely seems like a friendly stranger, John! Have an awesome day slipping away in the music!
Yes my friend.. R.i.p.
Met them on the third stage Tour in Tampa spent a couple hours with Brad talking about how there music was and anthem of a generation RIP BROTHER
My Personal Favorite - Always and Forever Classic
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
❤️♥️❤️
This song makes me cry. Especially since Brad died. One of the best voices ever. RIP
J’ai une ame solitaire. I am a lonely soul,
Committed Suicide.
Like he's definitely singing about himself 😢
The part....It's getting harder everyday for me.... kinda said something......
Who in 2024 is still LOVING Mr. Bradley Delp ???
Me. A very sad day for millions of fans when he died.
Me too. He was extremely talented and I still really enjoy hearing him sing. Very sad that he was so unhappy.
A classic voice in a Hall of Fame band
me!!! I never got see them
miss him dearly everyday. I'm still trying to find it in his music what led him to what he did. This song may say it all
Still listening to this song 42 years later. Brad's voice was just as essential as Tom's brilliance!
This song was ahead of it's time by about 10 years.
Over-the-top talent. Their sound was unique, and the collision of everything right in music, and at the right time.
You’re so lucky i wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
The band that launched a thousand hair metal power ballads---Boston. Often imitated, but never duplicated!
I know that I am not much but, I've always wanted to help everyone else to be happy and enjoy their life as God's great world
I love Boston their music was a big part of my teens. Brad Delp had one of the best voices ever in Rock. RIP
Boston songs never grow old. Sound as good today as they did 48 (?) Years ago!
Damn I'm old!😅

A haunted masterpiece ! Who knows how many people struggle every day to get by and just hide under the eminence pressure one puts on their self. Absolutely beautifully written and performed!
Mike T. very well said!!
1970 on croit a un monde bon un grand moment des usa qui ont fait le deuil de la guerre contre les viet merci
Yes it is a masterpiece, I play it over and over, it is my life to a t
So true Bud
I agree I'm sitting with my pistol in my hand trying to find a reason not to kill myself.i honestly can't think of a reason not to.
I've rocked Boston since their inception I'm now 61, ill play it loud until I'm buried RIP BRAD, man your sorly missed
Great song my wife and I love it. Rip Brad
I'm 64 yrs old remember all these bands when they came out, I never get tired of listening to Boston, great band, stay safe everyone!
Boston should have been in the hall of fame a hundred times over. Their ability to harmonize the way they did was simply beautiful to listen to. Brad you are missed by millions and will never be forgotten!!
All harmonies on the recorded tracks were Brad's. 100% all Brad's.
Damn right dude
Agreed! The HOF is really the HOS......Hall of Shame! Grand Funk Railroad has been around longer than Boston, and I think was the best hard rock band that ever came out of America. They're not in either. We should start a real hall of fame somewhere.....
All the vocal harmonies on the record were all brad. Live they used a harmonizer on brads voice. I believe Tom Scholz designed and built it. Tom's tone was the frequency at which his wah was hardwired to.
Hall of Shit! Boston doesn't need their endorsement
So glad I grew up with this timeless music, loved the 70’s
Amen. Bought the first album on 8 track when it first came out
We were fortunate indeed.
Yes of course!;-)
One of the best band, I remember rockin out to Boston in my van. Truly the best of days.
There is nothing today that compares to our music.
I accidentally finded this music in the day that my wife died, so every time i listen it , my eyes turn in a sad and deep ocean. Right now, for God sake, 7 years has passed by , and the pain still destroying my heart.
10 yrs for me, it never gets easier.........
Without Brad Delp, there’s no Boston!!
No, without Shultz there would e no Boston!
@@richhoffman3019lets agree to disagree bro, just thankful they found each other, for us!!
Agreed!! He is a legend!
It Boogles my MIND that this band is not in the hall of fame . This Band and many others that don't even get a sniff ..
Please Voters , do the right thing and induct this band and others , before its too LATE !!!
And that's what rock-n-roll sounds like boys and girls.
Yes! Never be another era like this!!!!!
Such a beautiful voice. Wish he was still here.
2020 and I've been listening to Boston since the mid-70s.
Me too bro..I'm 57..outstanding band.
Same here awesome music. Tom was a genius.
I still love Boston it's lyrics and Brad's voice. His voice makes me cry😢
Me to bro...since 1977 to be exact...a still listening and watching those vids...too bad didnt have a chance to see them live on stage...
❤
These were songs that were written from the heart. They had a true meaning and have never faded away.
💯
And when the guys were not singing, they sure made their guitars sing.
Soo true. ❤❤❤
Omg! Steve Clark! Feel like I’m in the twilight zone! Is this the Steve Clark? An if so why I mtv back in the day say what happened to you? I see ur pic if I’m mistaken so sorry but see pic on Boston here
@@michelea6106 Lol, of course I'm not Steve Clark! But he was and always will be my favorite! I should change it to I love Steve Clark.
It still breaks my heart knowing this incredibly gentle soul and very special man is gone. Thank you Brad for so many incredible memories and that voice! You are missed very much!
Amen.
RIP Brad It broke my heart knowing that the pressures that were upon you were bad enough for your life to end so tragically.
Tom how and why could this have gone so far ?
Brad it was an honor to meet you. Until we meet again.
WOW! well said!
Well said
Indeed, well said. My favorite singer of all-time.
Brad Delp is right up there with Lou Gramm, Steve Perry, Robert Plant, and Freddie Mercury, as the top class in rock.
You’re so lucky i wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
This will always be Boston's best song in my mind! ❤
Yes!!!!!!!
The Music of Boston never gets old
The old stuff is way better than the new stuff. Boston is a classic rock band!!
Swear he had one the best voices of all he could hit the highs and low he mastered his voice Rip Brad 💯
Agreed!!!!
The band was so good they named a city after them.
I LOVE THIS SONG,
There will never be another band like Boston, very difficult to match. it's out of this world
I've had an incredible life & have a wife & family who think the world of me & yet I've been living this song for 45 years. It gets me right where my throat meets my chest.
I've been living this song for the past 23 years
I have always loved Boston, I had 8 tracks in my dorm room in 1979. Always loved them!
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine
I just turned 30 about a week ago and this is my favorite band in the world right now. Boston's music will never die.
I'm in RI, 64 years old, here's what changed around the late 70's, the production of the first albums of Boston, Foreigner, and Kansas was just so sharp, so crisp...you listen to every song on Foreigner's first album, they are incredible songs...heck, even Styx was real musicians, talented musicians making real quality music. Check out "crystal ball" live by Styx back in the day, presently, I've seen Halestorm live four times, Lzzy without a doubt is queen of female vocals, better than Benatar and slightly better than Ann Wilson in her prime, they kick ass.👍💣🔥
Happy belated birthday ..
@@kevinwalsh4652 I love, and listen to every single one of those bands you mentioned!! I also like YES and a ton of others I can't remember at the moment. A lot of Van Halen lately and Thin Lizzy. Cheers!!!
@Stephani Rodriguez I wish I was around that long.. I feel like I missed some amazing live shows.. not one person with a phone in their hand. Everyone my age is a zombie on their phone :(
@@melissadavis638 Thanks Melissa!!!!
If you want to be the man I see, Yahweh will help you if you ask with sincerity and willingness. I am speaking all men aspiring to be a real husband. Boston was real. Best ever
A totally underrated singer..What a voice. So smooth and gentle.
He was definitely NOT an underrated singer! We knew from the first Boston Song that they were a gift!
I think of Brad as I drive into Boston, and see that rock on the side of Route 93 that says, "RIP Brad Delp".
This song and Amanda are Boston’s best songs.
I agree with you plue the entire Boston first album
Best rock and roll band of all times.
You’re so lucky i wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
Called "the nicest guy in rock & roll". His demons got to him & all we have left is his beautiful voice. Saw him perform live twice. Glad I did!
I saw Boston (with Brad) once in Manchester, NH. Glad I did too.
I was even going to see Beetlejuice, and had already purchased the tickets,
but, unfortunately Brad left us. He died in March of 2007, in NH at age 55. . .
Aeromom ! Sometimes the demons are too strong
I have seen Boston 3 times..... Twice in the early 2000s' so that's 2 times I got to see Brad also.
😢❤
i got to see them in hershey pa on the corporate america tour and brad was brad, they did a 3 hour concert, an thousands of us sat in pouring rain that entire concert an loved every min of it
The best band ever in my book
Im 21. Boston has been one of my favs for about 4 years. Most kids/people my age havnt heard of them even. It’s a shame. Rock on Boston, there will never be another you
You have been blessed to know of this band and to be able to appreciate their incredible talent
Educate your friends
So sad what a loss! Beautiful voice, band harmony was incredible… glad we lived in that era.
I totally agree Joseph
When that 1st album came out it really blew me away. The best rock album ever made.
absolute classic.

This is the last song my beloved husband played on his drums before he passed from a heart attack. I am in tears.

Beautiful song, beautiful voice! RIP Brad! Boston and Journey are the best, at least for me. Great songs, great musicians and extraordinary singers. ❤️
Look at those organ pipes! Surpassed only by Delp's own pipes. What a voice!
This singer was one of the greats and you can watch him sing and you know he was a really good guy. He certainly loved his music and loved singing. So tragic when a great person with so much talent takes his life. We all are at a loss for his voice is gone forever but his memory always appears when I hear this song and the many other vocals he was part of.
