Boston (song)

"Boston" is a song by American rock band Augustana, from their 2005 album All the Stars and Boulevards. It was originally produced in 2003 by Stephen Short for Midwest Skies and Sleepless Mondays and was later re-recorded with producer Brendan O'Brien for All the Stars and Boulevards.^[2] Paul Schellenberg who went to high school with Dan Layus and left for Gordon College was the inspiration for this song.^[3]

Music video

The music video starts with the lead singer (Dan Layus) playing a piano on a beach with the sea at low tide initially, later showing numerous other abandoned pianos on the beach. As the video progresses, other band members appear. Soon after, high tide comes up and the entire band continues to play as they are submerged in water over and over. Band members have been shown to be struggling to keep up with their musical instruments, but they do not seem to give up playing even in such adverse conditions. The video ends showing all musical instruments left shattered by the sea waves.

Use in popular media

The song has been used in The Big Bang Theory, in the 3rd episode of the 1st season, "The Fuzzy Boots Corollary". It was also featured in Scrubs, in the 19th episode of the 5th season, "His Story 3".
