More Than A Feeling
Boston (OST Scrubs) Lyrics

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Starting the day by acknowledging that something important—a ray of sunshine—is missing from their life.

Turned on some music to start my day
Seeking comfort and inspiration from the familiar sounds of music.

I lost myself in a familiar song
The music becomes a sort of therapy that allows the listener to escape reality and find solace.

I closed my eyes and I slipped away
The music has the power to transport the listener to another time and place through their imagination.

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
The emotions elicited by the music are powerful and beyond the realm of simple physical sensation.

When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
The song has a special significance and nostalgia tied to a specific memory.

And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
The music not only inspires but induces vivid dreams and recollections of the past.

Till I see Marianne walk away
The memories evoked by the music are not always comforting, and can be tinged with sadness and longing—as symbolized by Marianne's departure.

So many people have come and gone
Reflecting on how life is transitory and how people inevitably leave one's life.

Their faces fade as the years go by
The memories of the past begin to lose the clarity and vibrancy of the present as time passes.

Yet I still recall as I wander on
Despite the fleeting nature of memories, the listener is still able to remember and cherish them as they move through life.

As clear as the sun in the summer sky
Though memories fade, they can still be powerful and vivid like the image of a clear blue summer sky.

When I'm tired and thinking cold
The listener seeks refuge in music when they are feeling tired and vulnerable.

I hide in my music, forget the day
Music serves as a means of escape from the drudgery and monotony of everyday life.

And dream of a girl I used to know
The dream-like state induced by music can recall powerful memories of past relationships and loves.

I closed my eyes and she slipped away
Again, memories can be bittersweet, and the listener is forced to confront the loss of that love when it slips away.

I see my Marianne walkin' away
The motif of Marianne walking away becomes a symbol for the fleeting nature of memories and relationships—something that cannot be held on to forever, but still retains a fondness for those who experienced it.
