Back in 1976, there was an awesome song “More Than a Feeling” by Boston. It was recorded by the band and on their self-titled debut album. The song made the Billboard Hot 100 chart and later on was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s list of 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. It took songwriter Tom Scholz five years to finish this song. In the song, he expresses his unhappiness with how things are in the present and his longing for a former love named Marianne. In 2008 then-Republican presidential candidate used this song to promote his campaign. Some of the movies this song has been used in include “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, the animated “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa”, the TV series The Sopranos in the 11th episode of the second season “House Arrest’ and a long list of others. How many of you remember this song?
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...

Yes, I remember this song. I've only seen Madagascar from your list. However, I've heard it on the radio as well.

I remember that song too!! And now I'm humming it in my head. Five years... I don't think that I would have that kind of staying power... but I'm going to definitely think about it!!

I was rather amazed that it took him 5 years when I thought about it because I have poems that I have started but left holding on and some of them I could say I finally finished in 1 -2 years time @Hate2Iron

I always liked this song. It starts out a bit slower, but then it really amps up! There's a lot of passion in the singing.
