Heartland

I won't apologise, because I'm sure you all secretly like it. Anyway, I was listening to this fine song from 1976 today on Radio 2, and for one reason or another I properly listened to the lyrics for the first time. To wit:

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, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
’till 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, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
’till 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 closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped awa y. she slipped away.

It’s more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
’till I see marianne walk away
I see my marianne walkin’ away

A Man I'll Never Be from the second album's better

Looking out the morning, I can see the trees turn orange in the rays...

Slightly off topic, but also stumbled across Just Like Heaven
covered by Katie Melua???? This morning.

I think that I recall hearing some guitar twindlings of More than a Feeling in a soundcheck. Has anyone else noticed it? (I am not sure which soundcheck it may have been. From 1984 or 1985, though.)

But yes. Boston. More than a feeling.

I'm cranking up the cryptic tonite boys and girls so feel free to ignore me and think 'WTF!' as always.
