In this last Set List edition of Mix It Up, I am featuring an American classic - "More Than a Feeling" by Boston.
"More Than a Feeling" was the lead single from Boston's 1976 debut album, Boston.
Genres considered - Hard Rock & Pop Rock
Meaning - Losing someone close and finding music to connect a person to memories.
Point of interest - Tom Scholz, as the songwriter, did not experience such meaning personally and the name "Marianne" was taken from his cousin. There was no actual Marianne.

39th best hard rock song of all time by VH1 (2008)
