OG VIDEO: • Boston - More Than A F...
ABOUT…
I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it's true. So what's motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn't an easy time but I won't let fear dictate my life. I didn't think 'why me', there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it's not always smooth sailing. It's true when you hear, 'Life is short', the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It's so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

Have a great day!!

Even the day I heard this song for the first time, it was like an old friend. I was wondering if the song was new, or if it was an old "forgotten song", as strong was the feeling I already knew it. Strange and hard to explain. Like if it was a "déjà vu" (already seen) feeling, but it was rather a "déjà entendu" (already heard) feeling. The well named song More Than A Feeling!

@mikeadams2677 3 года назад

I always found it fascinating how Tom was able to blend his guitar and Brad's vocals so well that sometimes it's a little hard to tell where Brad stops and the guitar note takes over.

@stevenbeall9637 2 года назад

The thing is, Tom didn't really do anything related to that. The tracks were all cut and brought to Delp in LA to put down the vocals and everything was mixed by John Boylan...who deserves a lot of credit for the actual sound of this release. Heck Boylan actually suggested the name of the band be Boston.

I'm sorry, but when Brad goes from that D to that high E and is harmonizing with the guitar (right around 9:56) with all that power, it was just superhuman....he was truly a singular talent.

"Tom Scholz made this in a BASEMENT with a box of SCRAPS!" Seriously though, it's easy to focus on the vocal power and range of Brad Delp (and it is absolutely amazing), but the sheer production, perfectionism and genius of Tom Scholz is astounding. The man INVENTED half the gear that the recording industry takes for granted. Nothing on earth sounded like what he wanted to hear so he just made new things and techniques to make the sounds he wanted in reality.

MIT grad, a studio album done in a basement. Duel tracking, and Tom was a masterpiece of talent and a perfectionist. I had this album (Record ) when it was first available, and was like nothing Id heard before. Saw them in concert, and it was a huge letdown. Everyone has their ‘off day,’ but it was disappointing. Brad couldn’t begin to hit those high notes. They would play a song, then run off the stage, come back, and do it again. ‘Starcastle’ was the opening band, and they quite frankly outdid Boston. I’m no way knocking Boston. Lot of collective talent there, just my experience. Peace!

This song is everything music should be. That build to the chorus is one of the most epic things I have ever heard. The bass is forceful and out in front to give this song that extra punch. Those claps add to the vibe,as well. The drummer doubling up heading into that turnaround adds variety to the chorus,but he’s amazing because he isn’t overplaying. It is JUST ENOUGH to keep that punchy feel in the chorus. And,not for nothing,Brad Delp is a vocal savant. To have that type of control in his head voice as well as blending his chest voice into his head voice so effortlessly at that peak is just crazy. Sounded very similar to Freddie Mercury with the late vibrato heading into the solo. All time great song.

@@jamesmasdea947 assuming that you are in fact the Jim Masdea who played drums on the demo that ended up getting Tom and Brad signed with Epic, I have always wondered why you play drums on Rock and Roll Band on the record. Producer John Boylan is on the record saying that the drum tracks that Tom recorded were amateurish and could not be used on the record, so Boylan hired LA engineer Paul Grupp to to to Toms studio to teach him how to record drums and acoustic instruments as well as mic technique. Boylan then gave Tom a directive to re-record all drum tracks and some acoustic instruments on the record. When Tom says that the record company made him re-record the drum tracks because you were either forced out of "Boston" or decided to pursue other interests (depends on whose narrative you hear), is that when Sib was brought in. Or did Tom have to re-record your drum tracks using what Grupp taught him only to have Tom replace them when you left the project/band for what ever reason If you are in fact the Jim Masdea, I am glad that Tom finally gave you and Brad credit for all of your arrangement work on these songs albeit decades after the fact in 2006 in the liner notes of the Scholz remaster of this record. Hopefully you and Brad were compensated for not getting credit for this work for decades. Tom strikes me as someone who is not easy to work with and who is very narcissistic.

Great to see how this song lights you up. Back when it was on the radio, or rather just before it was on the radio, I was playing with a band in the Boston area, and we were rehearsing in a room in an old warehouse that had been divided into a dozen rehearsal spaces out at Fresh Pond in Cambridge. The room next to ours was rented by Tom to rehearse his new band, Boston, and we listened to them playing this song over and over and over, day after day. I must have heard it 50 times by the time they went on tour. It's a testament to how good the song is that I never got sick of it. And every time I hear it, it takes me back to those happy days in that space.

You and, dare I say many people see "More Than A Feeling" as Elation. I relate this song to Sorrow. It was the first song I heard as I (twelve years old at the time) was driven home from the hospital where my mother had just passed away. I was asleep down the hall, so the lyric, "I closed my eyes and she slipped away", rings true with me. I still love this song, how can you not? But the same thing can mean polar opposites to different people.

Like I said above, this was at best a bittersweet message. Tom speaks of this in an interview, but I think he holds back and does not go as far as to say the truth. That his heart was broken and that is what this song projects to anyone that really understands how important it was back them for true artist to have their lyrics have depth and meaning and say something that could convey a real message and stir emotions.

4 minute mark, when you re-paused to talk about enjoying the guitars, Brad is still singing "Ah, ahh, ahh, ah ahh" in unison with the guitar lead in a high falsetto. It's one of the dynamic 'guitar' voices that made Boston and especially this song so timeless. If you really want vocal appreciation, try the isolated vocal track of this song.

When I heard "More Than a Feeling" for the first time, the debut Boston album had just been released and this was the first song from it to get airplay. The sound of the band was SO different and so cool. A lot of it had to do with the brilliance of founder Tom Scholz and the Rockman headphone guitar amp (developed and built by a company Tom owned) that has been a major element to Boston's very recognizable sound.

@craighenry2351 2 года назад

This album and song came out in 1976, early in my sophomore year in high school and this lead me into what eventually morphed into my love of Prog Metal. Boston was never considered metal but they were melodic and hard rock. They were my first favorite true rock band and that melodic, harmonious sound along with the power is what I look for most in music. I can listen to very heavy stuff, but my favorite style has both the heaviness and the harmony. Boston weren’t the first to do it, but they perfected it.
