electronic :: songs :: i feel alright

(marr, sumner and bartos)

i can feel the undertow
of a force that i don’t know
reaching deep into the night
it just makes me feel alright

and sometimes when i’m alone
when i need to speak to you
i call you up when you’re at home
to exchange a point of view

it just makes me feel alright
it just makes me feel alright
it just makes me feel alright
it just makes me feel alright

the things i see i can’t describe
a blind emotion i can’t hide
are you aware of my existence?
do you view me with indifference?

i’m walking ’round within a circle
falling down before the hurdle
at the end of every season
the wrong place without a reason

in the strangest kind of way
i don’t want to let you down
but i hear it every day
i’m the angry man in town

and i don’t know what to do
no, i don’t know what to do
if it’s love that makes you ill
i can’t take that bitter pill

and it makes me feel alright
and it makes me feel alright
it just makes me feel alright
it just makes me feel alright

the things i see i can’t describe
a blind emotion i can’t hide
are you aware of my existence?
do you view me with indifference?

i’m walking ’round within a circle
falling down before the hurdle
at the end of every season
the wrong place without a reason

single version—4:49

for you

a really beautiful song that should have taken pride of place on the get the message best of. like its cousin twisted tenderness the production is a little busy but the emotion still shines through; the best moment has to be when the music in the chorus is repeated without vocals near the end of the song before the fadeout. like the coda of some distant memory it can bearly contain itself and almost spills out of the speakers—it’s music that loves itself and wants you to love it, too. for anyone who hasn’t heard this song, it’s better than you can possibly imagine.
