"Feelin' Satisfied" is a song by American rock band Boston, released on their 1978 studio album Don't Look Back. The song was written by Tom Scholz and released as a single in 1979. The single peaked at number 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[2] It reached number 84 in Canada.[3] It was the band's last release for 7 years, until Third Stage in 1986.
Paul Grein of Billboard described the song as "an affectionate tribute to the power of music."[4] The same magazine later described the song as an "upbeat track which is totally rock 'n' roll," praising the "clear singing" and "fresh sounds."[5] Cash Box said it has "those Boston characteristics that has made the group a platinum act: tight-skin percussion, majestic guitar lines and do-the-job soaring vocals."[6] Cash Box also called it a "fine track."[7] Record World called it "one of [Don't Look Back's] most powerful rockers" and praised the guitar playing, Brad Delp's lead vocal and the "multi -track vocal hook."[8]
Terry Hazlett of The Observer-Reporter described the song as an "innocent little [ditty]" which comes across like a "rock 'n' roll anthem."[9] Pete Bishop of The Pittsburgh Press claimed that it has "an infectious happy feel."[10] But Press & Sun-Bulletin critic Chris Carson described "Feelin' Satisfied" as being "on par with the filler" on Boston's debut album.[11]
