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.

My fave hit by the Boston; my fave band outside John Paul George and Ringo

love this songs very much, used to hear it when i was in high school

Best song ever!!

RIP Brad Delp. Your voice never sounded better.

This ballad is one of the finest ever written.

💌🙏 MOTHER'S PRAY FOR YOUR SONS THAT ARE ONLY HALF A MAN,WITHOUT GOD IN THEIR HEARTS( NOT THERE FAULT),SO SHOW THEM💯👁️🙏💞🙌💞

One of the best wrtten and recorded songs of a man telling a woman how he is never going to measure up. The guitar work and vocal execution is nothing short of perfect.

The guitar of Scholz speaks by him...and the voice of Brad Delp is unbeattable...

Lord……you see me trying……I’m so tired…..of trying to be the man I need to be!

Brad Delp, is one of the greatest voices in Rock. But sadly never got the recognition he deserves.

Hermanos gracias por estar aquí en el viaje

Rick Beato's Top 10 Underrated Guitar Solos brought me here.

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 isn't just a song. It's an epic Masterpiece. The first time I heard it I was just 6 years old and it completely submerged me me in musical extasy. All I have to do is listen to it again and the feeling is recaptured, somewhat bittersweet.

So glad I was born in 1961. I experienced so much great music. I really think real rock is dead. Never to come back.

Hauntingly beautiful

Dear Lord, "I can't get any stronger, and I can't climb any higher, you'll never know just how hard I tried" Amen

Love this song. One of the most beautiful ballads ever though it is so sad. Obviously my humble opinion. ❤

Such a beautiful song.....tears in my eyes.

First time I heard this, I bawled my eyes out. Takes on a different light since Brad left this world.

This song is for my sense, one of the Rembrandts of the 20th century. Great music, technically and spiritually a masterpiece!

One of the greatest bands of all time

Brad Delp made this my FAVORITE Boston song you can't touch his VOCALS !!!

Men feel that way its true but the women need to reassure them that they are loved just the way the are....

Showof+...

One thing I'm glad my parents passed onto me, my love for Boston. Greatest band ever

Brad Delp is one of the greatest vocalist Ever. I wish Every time I hear a Boston song that I could have talked to him and helped him see himself through the eyes of those who love him.. It was a crushing blow to know his last moments on this earth were alone, It was such a horrible lost and we still feel it to this day. Much love and tears from an adoring fan.

This was one of my favorite songs to sing in a band back in the early 80's. EPIC, that's all I can say about this song!!!!!!

July 2020 and Still , my All Time Favorite Boston song !! Brads voice as always, and those Very Touching lyrics that I always felt n feared that Brad was proveying to us re: his mental hurting inside years ahead of time ... The lyrics - the voice, and that unbelievable guitar sound n talent just gives and covers me with gooseflesh. Gooseflesh , I borrowed that from James Taylor years ago - in place of goose pimples. We All Miss You Every - Single - Day Bradley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite song ever. I think this song describes never feeling good enough for someone. I love it and I relate to every single lyric.

This is the best music you ever heard,

This Beautiful song was written for all of us .

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.

Beautiful song.

It’s always nice to find a song with lyrics that actually has the right lyrics.Thank you.

Withstands the test of time. One of their finest.

Now I know why my first wife left me - I just wasn't the man she had hoped to find in her dreams, the man I would never be. Tragically, she never found the man I could never be but I was incredibly lucky to find a lovely lady who took me as I was and still am, nearly 40 years later, the proud father of a beautiful daughter and the husband of a wonderful wife who both love me as the man I will always be. Bless you all.

The best of the best song a man ill never be. It fits me i cant be what i want to be. I listen to it since the band started, everytime i play this song its like the past is still today, that those wonderful years never ended.

Beautiful song 🎵 ❤ 1st time I actually heard this song. And for any man or woman who is going through a rough moment. Know that God will give us the wisdom and strength to climb as high as we can. Never allow anyone to make you feel less. We're all great people in our own unique ways that's how God created eachone of us. Stay strong and positive and blessed no matter what you face your strong if your reading this. Smile 😃😇🥰👍🏼

In a world of vastly overplayed "classic rock" it's good to know I can still appreciate this band just as much as I did when they released that amazing first LP.

RIP Brad Delp - A Voice of the Ages!

This song feels like how I felt being a new Dad years ago.

James S. ❤ You..and this awesome song. May 5. Always be so special.

Gorgeous voice and music. Emotion, mere blood

Well i can say i was priveliged to be around when there first two albums were released , on top of that was able to see them live .great band and great times'

everytime i hear this one or more than a feeling....i am transported back in time immediately....god, i wish i could just stay there for awhile....

I love this song back when I heard it in the 70's and now2019

They are still touring. I took my 23 year old son to see them. He loved them. Brad was still alive then. We saw them in Tampa. Just listen to old rock stations, they will tell you when they are playing.

One of my faves,even tho its the saddest Boston song ever...If only I could find a way,Id feel like Im the man you believe I am...RIP BD

Their music is Timelss and unforgettable.

Scholz is brilliant no question. Delp was the voice of Boston as is Perry the voice of Journey as is Lou Gramm the voice of Foreigner. I'm glad I grew up with them all. Raw talent at it's best.

Their best song. RIP

great song

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.

Absolutely love this tune.

Brother, thank the lord that you did not follow through. Many of us vets can get real sad from time to time. Anytime it gets bad shout out. Gunner

How do they make guitars sound like that and why hasn't somebody recreated it!?! Its magnificent!

My favorite Boston song of all, such a poetic rocker. Brad was a special talent, but this song will always be listened to with a bit of sadness.

Rog and I met in high school 1977 had a baby in 79 only 17 years old. We struggled through his heroin addiction, I even married him to try to fix him. One night of his heroin binges we both sat on the edge of the bed crying. He held me and begged me to help him. We hugged but I knew I couldnt fight his fight any longer. We divorced and hadnt spoke for 23 years until he contacted me on facebook. I told him to leave me alone. Three years later he died of an overdose. RIP my high school love. 😥

wow, no comments, great song, I miss these guy's.......

I remember exactly where i was when i first heard this haunting melody ;October 1978 working on building the Dillards Warehouse at the corner of Beach and Meachem FtWorth,TX and living out of Days Inn motel at the corner of I 35W and Felix Street

A perfectly executed masterpiece.

Doctor Schultz , a warm Hug from Cartagena.Colombia,your always friend Jorge Hernández , thanks for all you have done, a long Ride!!!!

This was his last note to all of us, wasn't it. Years before he left. At about 6:00, it's the storm and anger of life. Beautifully composed. The calm after the storm was the beautiful piano to end the note. Goddammit.

Delps Will never be replaced as Dr.schultz .

This song some how can feel like sed and inspired inside my feelings .thank you Boston for making such wonderful songs that curved good old memories 😙

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.

Great Job! Love it! Fitting tribute an all-time great band!

my BOSTON, my LIFE, my MUSIC

I see this song as a conversation between man and god. The dichotomy is perfect verse to verse.

This is about how a woman sees more in the man than hes in himself. Its called LOVE.... it's like the love Jesus has for us. No matter what we do it can't compare to how he see us. Love its unmeasureable limitless sets no boundaries... love we all need it

Today a year ago I got fired. I went through hell with depressions while my wife improved her career. Today I have another job that pays less and is more stressful. This week we had an awful fight as she compared me to husbands of her career women friends which are partners, doctors, leaders that slso care for their children at night snd do all the housework... Today I was having a lonely walk after lunch and this song pops up:). Never heard it before but its perfect.

My first concert, Ames Iowa , 1995

MASTERPIECE!

Beautiful Overlay...Outstanding Work...

If only I could find a way

RIP Brad Delp. :(

I used to sing this song to my 6 daughters.

Certainly hardly ever plays this song despite being a wicked classic

I have been a great fan of Boston since 1977 when I stumbled by pure chance on their first album in a record shop, bought it and at home was literally blown away by the perfection and harmony of the band's wonderful music. 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. Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany.

Beautiful but dramatic song.....like the story of Boston!

Really nice Song

Next level music.

Next to Paul McCartney is Brad Delp for me Next to the Beatles is Boston for me

Brad Delp Was A Underrated Singer And Tom Scholz Was A Underrated Guitar Player In My Opinion !!!!

A man you never be

Brad Delp spoke for God… RIP

I swear they wrote this song for me. It IS me....

He said I saw him through rose colored glasses. All these years later it still hurts.

A man suffering from depression and blind to his own self worth.

Stupenda

In your dreams.......❤

It's so so true

Great job..

I heard they are touring...but I haven't verified this. Boston is was good music should always sound like.
