Brad had a fantasic voice. One of the best in rock n roll. So sad he took his own life. Money doesn't buy happiness. Only God can give true happiness and a sound mind. R.I.P. Mr. Delp.

Boston is a band that comes along once in a lifetime! I'm glad I was living during this time & had the privilege of calling them my favorite band! As a musician,singer,songwriter I appreciate their talent even more! It is a shame that Brad Delp (Lead Vocals) who was as good as any singer that ever lived is no longer with us! What a great loss for all! Boston used an old Crate Amplifier that needed some tweeking to get that unique sound they had! Awesome, Talented guys! Boston Rocks!!!!

It blows my mind how they make music today that is nowhere close to this song. Boston, Journey, etc created music that cannot be matched by today's "musicians". The vulnerability , and strength, in this song is amazing. I may choose this song to be played at my funeral.Today women have all the power and the women have certain expectations of the men. Men, and boys, today just cannot meet those expectations. The media certainly doesn't help by minimizing men and masculinity. Commercials make fun of men/boys all the time, we are ALWAYS the butt of the joke in commercials, TV shows, movies, etc rarely does a commercial/tv show/movie make fun of girls/women. No wonder men/boys today are depressed and confused. We are not empowered at all. We are simply expected to do whatever the woman wants us to do. This song is WAAAAAY ahead of its time. So it's no wonder that, in this song, a man is not able to meet the expectations of the woman. This song was meant for now.

The paralysing fear of telling someone how you feel. When I thought about telling her, I froze. I just smiled and offered support with what she was going through earlier in the year. I don't want to give her any more worries, if she ever would. A friend recently called me out over it. She said "you love her don't you?" I didn't blush or brush it off as I normally would've done. I simply said "yes, for a long time" 🥰 If I don't tell her, I will forever regret it. If I do, our friendship will be forever changed. My biggest fear is her then avoiding or not speaking to me. Just the thought of that breaks my heart and further prevents me from telling her. ❤️😭 xx This song brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it.

This song still brings a tear after the hundreds of times I've heard it. It speaks volumes to (and about) me as someone later in life who is too often haunted by past failures, especially the times I've failed those I loved, despite my best efforts - or what I thought were my best efforts. Maybe that's a little overly autobiographical, but I think it is for all of us who find that we aren't who we thought we would become and that life is what happens when you have other plans.

This song, 'A Man I'll Never Be', along with 'More Than a Feeling" and the absolutely stunning song 'Amanda', are my absolute favourites and every time I hear them played my mind goes back 40 years and to my long gone youth. I thank you therefore for uploading this track that takes me back in time when I was young, handsome and the man I would never be. Wishing you all a Merry and Healthy Christmas and Happy New Year.
