Lyrics

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

It's more than a feeling (More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (More than a feeling)
Then I begin dreamin' (More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away

I see my Marianne 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)
Then I begin dreamin' (More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away

I see my Marianne 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 close my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away - 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)
Then I begin dreamin' (More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away

Song Note

Inspired by the heart-tugging mood of the Left Banke's "Walk Away Renee," Polaroid engineer Scholz tinkered with this anthem for five years in his basement studio. Driven by an epochal riff and Brad Delp's skyscraper vocals, "Feeling" helped Boston sell more than 17 million copies -- and inspired the riff for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
