    The construct of Boston songs was brad delp sang all the vocals. Tom Sholtz would play and record all of the instruments. With some minimal exceptions. Then Tom Sholtz would put it all together in his basement studio at his home. The band was for touring. Great reaction and Merry Christmas guys. 🌹👍🌲

    This is the title track to their second album. I'm not sure what other "Boston" songs you've reacted to, but "Peace of Mind" has a theme similar to this song. Another one of their songs I highly recommend is "A Man I'll Never Be", a power ballad also on their second album.

    Funny how as a 58 year old woman I’m now hearing this differently. I’ve loved this song since whenever the album came out. Don’t feel like doing the math. Haha. But it means something different now. I think it’s the part about compromise. I used to be very naive. Most people are good… ya get it. But life and God teaches you otherwise. The trick is being wise from finding out the truth but without being bitter or cynical. Thank you so much for sharing this and bringing back memories. And making me realize I am evolving 😎

    There is so much Boston for you guys to experience. These songs were recorded by essentially Tom Scholz who wrote all the songs and played every instrument, except drums. Sometimes even those. He invented to technology to get the sound and never uses synthesizers or computers. Brad Delp is the singer on this early stuff and his voice is unparalleled. Put him with Steve Perry and Robert Plant. Do more please!! Do some of the Walk On album. Just ask me I'll tell you which ones first great reactions guys.

    Boston was one of my favorites. My uncle had their album and I would go into his bedroom when he was gone and listened to all the music he had. He is 10 years older and shaped a lot of my music interest. His daughter is a song writer in Nashville and her husband lead sings for a band touring that's starting to get big time. My uncle is now Mayor of Muscle Shoals Alabama where a lot of music historically has been recorded in their famous studios. Asia and BJ are some of my favorite people. I feel like I would be just like family with you guys. Love you guys ❤️

Boston is the quintessential rock ‘n’ roll to have in your collection. I know the lead singer passed away rest his soul with this music will always live on. It always makes me want to play the air guitar wherever I am at. Lol. Love you guys keep on rockin.

    This is the title track and first song on Boston's second album. Their debut album is one of the best selling of all time, so there were great expectations for this one. The song is about looking ahead and making the most of your time on Earth.
    The distorted guitar sound was created by devices designed by group leader Tom Scholz - the liner notes boast there were no synthesizers used on the album. Scholz is a musical mad scientist with an engineering degree from MIT.
    Boston's first album supplied radio stations with eight songs listeners loved, so there was a spot at the table for whatever came next. The lead single from their second album was "Don't Look Back," and it delivered. The song went to #4 in America and became one of the group's most popular songs. The album didn't kick out more Boston classics, but still sold seven million copies in America.
    Tom Scholz kvetched a bit about the label releasing the album before it was ready, but that was because he thought it needed another song. The next Boston album, Third Stage, didn't appear until 1986. Its lead single was the group's only #1 hit: "Amanda."

    I want to start by saying that the look on Asia's face for the duration of that song was the best thing I've seen so far today. Second, this song has always had a special meaning to me. Growing up, I had always worked for my entrepreneur father starting as a janitor in his business as an adolescent, then on the family farm while in high school and partway through college and then in his business again after we moved off the farm and back to New Jersey. All my life, I had never given much thought to finding a job or imagining a career. I was going to take over the family farm (or business) eventually. Well, after college, I was working for my father in the family business in NJ, and was becoming restless and disillusioned... My relationship with my father was strained due to my feeling that he was controlling all aspects of my life. I was a young adult, I had a girlfriend (who later became my first wife) with whom I wanted to spend more time doing all those things that young couples fresh out of college want to do. Several months after graduating college, my girlfriend was made aware of a job opportunity in Boston working for a friend of her family's. So, we drove to Boston for a couple of weekends in the fall, and I fell in love with the city of Boston. She got the job and moved to Boston. In the meantime I had to approach my parents to tell them I was leaving the family business to move to Boston. Getting up the courage to do this was one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life. But I did, and my father seemed to be understanding of it. While I was working up the courage to do this, I used to play this song loudly at my apartment (in headphones so as not to aggravate my landlady who lived upstairs). The message of this song was so on-point for me and the fact that it was by a band not only from Boston, the place I was headed, but was named after the city.
    Now, 39 years later, my father's been gone for 20 years, and blessedly, I was able to eventually develop a loving relationship with him before he died. The girlfriend became my wife, though that didn't last and she moved far away from Boston. I remain living here in Boston and still love the city.

    This came out around the time the original, and best, Battlestar Galactica came out. I always the this song, especially the middle solo part, would have been perfect for an epic space battle scene in the show. In my mind's eye I can still picture Vipers and Cylon Raiders flying through space while the main guns on Galactica and the base ships duke it out with their main batteries all while the guitars are wailing and drums are crashing.

    Boston is one of my top three bands. As much as I love their first album, l tend to like this album better. I saw them in concert in October 1978 in Knoxville, Tn. I was a senior in high school then. This song is the title track of that album. This song should be heard along with The Journey and It's Easy since they all flow together on the album. The next song is the big epic song on the album. It is titled A Man I'll Never Be. This whole album is really good. Check these songs out!
