About Feelin' Satisfied

"Feelin' Satisfied" is a 1978 song written by Tom Scholz for the Boston band album Don't Look Back. Paul Grein of Billboard described the song as "an affectionate tribute to the power of music." The same magazine later described the song as an "upbeat track which is totally rock 'n' roll," praising the "clear singing" and "fresh sounds." Terry Hazlett of The Observer-Reporter described the song as an "innocent little [ditty]" which comes across like a "rock 'n' roll anthem." AXS contributor Bill Craig describes the lyrics as being about "the wonders of rock music. " Pete Bishop of The Pittsburgh Press claimed that it has "an infectious happy feel." Ultimate Classic Rock critic Michael Gallucci described it as a "simple" song that, in common with many Boston songs, "celebrates rock 'n' roll." Gallucci rated it Boston's 8th greatest song, particularly praising the effect from the hand claps during the refrain. Paul Elliott rated it their 7th greatest song, commenting on its "sense of fun" as Scholz lets go of some of his usual control.

Well come on
All you people
The time has come to get together 
You gotta have a little rock 'n' roll music 
To get you through the stormy weather
And do whatever you feel

Nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll 

So come on, put you hands together
You know it's now or never 
Take a chance on rock 'n' roll 

[Chorus]
Oh are you feelin' satisfied
Come on let us give your mind a ride
Oh are you ready tonight
Come on let us give your mind a ride 
You can do what you like
Come on let us give your mind a ride 

Oh that funky feelin' 
Is what you need to get you through
You oughta know 
I'll tell you somethin'
Don't let your troubles get to you
'Cause win or lose it's alright 
Well take control 
And nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll 

So come on
Put you hands together
You know it's now or never
Take a chance on rock 'n' roll 

[Chorus]
