Third Stage if anybody knows, was an entire album that told a story... kinda like Rush's "2112".... so all the songs in order tell a story.... just an fyi...
My God....it always gives me chills when Brad goes up there and gets those high notes in the 2nd verse. No autotune, no super-producers like todays pop "stars" have...just pure unadulterated TALENT! A voice from Heaven called back home far too early. R.I.P. Brad Delp.
Goes hand in hand with Amanda, really a deep song that makes me wonder everytime. Boston really has something other group can't grasp. Thanks for uploading the song in studio quality:D
I guess you could call this a "coda" or "reprise" to Amanda, for lack of a better term. If my dusty old memory serves me, when this was on vinyl (yeah kiddies, I AM so old I had vinyl lp's lol) "My Destination" was the final cut on the album. Whenever my Program Director (boss at radio station) would let me get away with it, I'd try to play Amanda followed immediately by Destination. Great songs both!
Couldn't swing a sword and make this one any better. Kinda brings back the feelin of bein at the old skinny dipping hole with my beautiful girl friend having a picnic beneath the stars, and rockin out to some solid Brad Delp tunes.
first time i heard this song is when i bought the album (the wax album) from a record shop, i still have it today on my wall. these songs mean so much and are timeless. boston is so good
@KarmicOmen In the sleeve, I believe Tom Scholz explains the similar melody being like a reprise of 'Amanda...." if I'm not mistaken, both songs were written in different years..."Amanda" dates as far back as 1981. I don't quite remember what year "My Destination" was initially penned...given the rather conceptual nature of "Third Stage," the fact there's similarity gives it thematic cohesion. :)
Once you fall in love with a woman, even though she breaks your heart, you will always love her and never get over her!! That's just the way the heart works. I know exactly where elverdaderosol is coming from.
@spiderdragon1969 You know, my EX and I are in communication on FB and he told me this song reminds him of me... I can't help but wonder if he had said things like this when we were married if we would still be married. :(
@n2meec I have an ex who never said the nice things. I wish she had. I always said those things to her. By the way, I have a facebook profile. If you'd like to be facebook friends, send me a personal youtube message and I'll give you my real name. Thanks.
@spiderdragon1969 Hell don't know it... I was my 2nd hubby's first love... he STILL trys to keep in touch with me, and even though it's been since the 80's, I see no diff in him. Still the wishy washy putz he was then!!!
And.... feelin the way I do.... would'nt last a mile-without YOU.... when i'm losin the way.... the things that you say.....take ME there. My DESTINATION.......MY destination, is by YOUR SIDE....right by your side And I, I've taken so long-i know, Never had so far to go... It's not where you can be it's what you see,that takes you there, your destination....... YOUR destination..................Is HERE INSIDE, right here inside...........................
i sincerly hope brad found his destination in heaven his vocals were a inspration to me since the first time i heard him no matter what band he played with!
Yeah, I completely agree, I hope he found whatever he was looking for.
When I hear this, it's almost like hearing Amanda again for the first time. This song to me, is like a touching happy story. I don't know how else to explain it. :)
Is there a reason that this sounds SOO similar to their song Amanda? I mean its practically a carbon copy. Is it a lead in to the other song or did Boston accidentally plaigerise themselves?
@procrastinatingsfun A variation of "Amanda" makes it my favorite Boston song. It's just a shame it isn't longer. Amanda was written 6 years before this, Boston revisited it for Third Stage
@procrastinatingsfun its on the same record and if you listen to the entire record from first sont to last you will see that it is a concept album. Amanda opens the album and this song closes it. It was on purpose that it sounded the same. They work as bookends for all the tracks between them.
@procrastinatingsfun I would call it a reprise.It was at the end of side one of the Third Stage album.Side one,to me, seemed almost like one song with various movements on the same theme.
I'm in love with his voice...
