Boston - Hollyann

lyrics

------------------------------------------

In my mind
I can see reminders of a past decay
So far behind
Like the shadows linger at the close of day.
And we could see
We were timeless dreamers of another day.
And we were free
In a dawning age we had so much to say.

Oooh, the nights you came to me
A bluejean lady so eager to be free.
And the wind in your long hair blowin' as we stood for the band.

Oh, Hollyann.

Hollyann
We made the dark into light.
We saw the wrong and the right.
We were for life
And we would never concede it.

Hollyann
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign.
We held the line light
Can you believe it?
Hollyann
Hollyann

We could live
Just to turn the world into our fantasy.
And we could give
Aquarius was really meant to be.

You and I we were there to see the dawn.
Side by side we had love to carry on.
And I still hear guitars in the air as we sat in the sand.

Oh, Hollyann

Hollyann
We made the dark into light.
We saw the wrong and the right.
We were for life
And we would never concede it.

Hollyann
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign.
We held the line
Can you believe it?
Hollyann

2:13 Easily one of Brad Delp's best high notes- could be the best high note of all time as far as Im concerned. No one else came close to Brad.

I named my youngest daughter after this song. Her middle name is Hollianne. I spelled it differently but I still love this song and Boston still rocks!

Cindy B. ,I'll always treasure you:-)

[StylnFly]

Now this is beautiful music.

The Guns N Roses song, "Don't Cry" probably originated from reading Boston backwards.

Special thanks to akjones498. "Past decade" is so right and solves the puzzle in my mind of what was being said. Things are said as you say in Boston.

@grog5150 I soooo agree. I thought this song was Brad at his best, which is absolutely awesome. I thought this song was for Boston what Bridge Over Troubled Waters was for Simon and Garfunkel, kind of a culmination of all the best they could be put into one great song. I love all the rest and look forward to more but this song is certainly one of their best.

@evanorange My wife got pregnant sometime after I feel in love with this song. If we had a girl my daughter and wife had picked out Aleana Saleste (perhaps spelled different) but I had determined that I was going to secretly call her Hollyann and it would be our little secret. We had a boy, not disappointed mind you just never got to live this out. Perhaps with a granddaughter?

how good r the harmonies of these guys I never listened to much of thier stuff but with each new song I listen to the lyrics and guitar harmonics never cease to amaze me as with most of the 80's groups they just don't make em like they mused too
