Boston - I Had a Good Time (With Lyrics)

Boston - I Had a Good Time
___________________________
Hey, you can be so unfair
And you know I will remember
You said you'd always be there
When you go
Hey, I wanted you to know
I wish you were mine
And I, I just wanted you to know
I had a good time
Ooh I, I had a really good time
You can lie and I'll still believe it
It's OK, it doesn't matter
I know that you really mean it
In your own way
Hey, I wanted you to know
I wish you were mine
And I, I just wanted you to know
I had a good time
Ooh I, I had a really good time
You know what you want
Well maybe love is blind
But it's alright, it's cool
I just wanted you to know
I had a really good time
Well I've been in love
But nothing lasts forever
So just hold on long enough
And maybe you'll end up together
It's alright, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can lie to my face and I'll believe it
It's OK, 'cause there's a feeling you can't replace
You didn't mean it anyway
Hey, I wanted you to know
I wish you were mine
And I, I just wanted you to know
I had a good time
Ooh I, I had a really good time

His vocals are insane! The guitar is crystal clear and unique. One of the best bands ever. The only drawback is Tom Schulz was such a perfectionist that we kept waiting for another album. But their quality over quantity approach was and is just brilliant.

[@tfi3ld]

Had the honor of meeting Brad before he passed away. My little sister had cancer at the time (she was 6) and we got back stage tickets to meet the band. Brad was the only one to come out out of all of them. He had lunch with us and spent time with my entire family. Later half way through the show, he paused and dedicated the song "Amanda" to my little sister. The song she is named after. Best man I've met in my life. Thanks Brad

[@klutz38]

[@orlandoramos1878]

tfi3ld congratulations you met at a legend all the most famous rock bands of all time and I was deeply saddened when I heard the news that he died and we all need to say a prayer for fried galp and shout out to his family it was a tragic loss the way he died hopefully people see the suicide is not the answer to everything you know when you do something like that you have to be thinking about your family's what you going to be putting them through if you do contemplating suicide suicide is not the answer and I just hope people should learn something like this don't ever do something like that cuz you be putting your family through a lot when you do something like that like taking your own life like that my heart goes out to Brad Delp and his family I just wish she could have found some other way to deal with his pain then to do what he did and it's not a laughing matter I just voicing my opinion nobody should never do that cuz no matter what you do is going to make your parent you going to make your family suffer for that

[@tfi3ld]

Eddie The Head yes she did

[@orlandoramos1878]

tfi3ld that was so in that was so nice of brat dumb to go out of his way to to dedicate a song to your sister I just want to say that the comments were made about Brad Delp when he passed away I think they were kind of harsh I just like to take Brad Delp needed help and I guess it's nobody didn't reach out to her that was so embarrassing nice of bread. Of water this way too to dedicate us all to your sister

Too bad there aren't more people out there that can appreciate a band for it's conviction, artistry and lyrical content. If there were, this band would have gone even further.

@@grahamedwards7658 Perfect burn on modern music. I totally agree with what you’re saying, although there are a few slightly newer bands who defy “The Madonna Rule” and make a difference. Radiohead, The White Stripes, and even the Arctic Monkeys are a few of them. Even still, people like The Weeknd and Olivia Rodrigo are most certainly five-minute wonders.

"More than a Feeling" appeared on their first album. I was listening to that album and that song in the fall of 1975. Where were you in 1976, Australia?

I think Boston still holds the record for most copies sold for a debut album. I thought the number was either 60 or 70 million sold.

Everyone always remembers Boston for "more than a feeling" but in my opinion this is the best song Boston ever did, and "Higher Power" is the second.

I Had a Good Time listening to this song

[@sosaysthelegend]

Five years later, I still want to cry when I think about Brad Delp's passing. The biggest shame is perhaps that so few people even knew it happened. This is the lead singer on the best-selling debut album of all time! And was still rocking it live in his mid-50s. I should know - I was fortunate enough to see them twice before he offed himself. I don't know what he was dealing with that led to that decision, but I don't judge him and simply miss his presence in the music world.

[@keyop6821]

He got caught putting a hidden camera in like his step daughters room and that’s what set him off

[@sosaysthelegend]

@@keyop6821 Not his step-daughter. It was bad enough as it is, but that makes it sound way worse. I think it was his girlfriend's sister. His girlfriend who had cheated on him and he had taken back, I should add (not that anything would justify ever doing that). When she found it, her boyfriend confronted Brad. I forget exactly what went down other than that he was mortified and extremely apologetic about the whole thing and then shortly thereafter killed himself. I don't know what possessed him to do what he did, ultimately, but I don't get the impression that he was fundamentally a bad person. He seemed weak and deeply troubled.

[@Phil-fq3ng]

"Had the honor of meeting Brad before he passed away."; I could not say it better than this. Boston opened their Third Stage tour in Rochester, NY; an hour away from my high school self. I had SATs the next day, but had to see their first show since the 70s, so I biked to the bus station, bought a ticket and got to see the premiere. I couldn't go back home until 6am, so I stuck around the venue, and as the band all boarded the bus, Brad left them and came over to talk to the fans who were outside. As he told the driver to just leave and come back for him, the band taunted him, "Braaaaadley!"; there were some hardcore fans there who knew about stuff I'd never heard of, like Orion the Hunter, but meeting him and getting his autograph was one of the highlights of my life, even though I wasn't able to say much more than "you're amazing!". A day I'll never forget; it's strange, I miss someone I only met once

[@DickRileyTheConquistador]

I think there music is different than their earlier stuff. The guitar consists of more choppy (da da da da da) metal sounding rythm. I like it. I think they started do more of that with Higher Power in 97.

[@Ghost.Spectrum]

Since I started listening to Boston more extensively over the past couple years, it has definitely become my favorite rock band. Every song I have heard of theirs has been an absolute pleasure.

[@donmerriweather4064]

[@bluebo1212]

If I could go back in time I would tell Tom Scholz to make "Third Stage" the last of a trilogy and re-name it "Home At Last" using the same artwork as "Walk On" with the following songs in order: 1. We're Ready 2. The Launch/Cool The Engines 3. Amanda 4. Walkin' at Night/Walk On 5. I Think I Like It 6. Hollyann 7. I Had A Good Time 8. We Can Make It This would had made the Boston albums a trilogy with "Boston" being the beginning of the journey with the exploding Earth, "Don't Look Back" searching for a home, and "Home At Last" ending the journey with the finding of a new home world.
