Fore Play / Long Time - Boston

Almost everybody has heard of Boston's More Then A Feeling, and for good reason, but what about the rest of the album? This debut album from 1976 is one of the greatest debut albums and one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song off of it is incredible, but the closing pieces Foreplay ( which is an instrumental intro to Long Time) and Longtime are incredibly written and produced. I especially love the piano in Foreplay, and the guitar work in Long Time. Boston took forever to released another album, and never quite had the passion they had in the first, but at least they gave us that one incredible album.

Foreplay/Long Time

It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say.


Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' along
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.


It's been such a long time. It's been such a long time.

Well I get so lonely when I am without you
But in my mind, deep in my mind,
I can't forget about you
Good times, and faces that remind me
I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it all behind me
You're comin' back to find me.


Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' along
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.

It's been such a long time. It's been such a long time.

Yeah. It's been such a long time, I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
There's a long road, I've gotta stay in time with
I've got to keep on chasin' that dream, though I may never find it
I'm always just behind it.

Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' along
Takin' my time, just movin' along
Takin' my time, yeah I'm takin' my time...
