The story
The only song here written from outside my own life. It’s about a room of people who don’t know each other wanting the same thing at the same moment, and how unlikely it is that it works at all.
When did you last feel part of something with people you’d never met? Why do you think that’s so hard to find anywhere else?
Lyrics
You can tell a lot by what somebody plays first
Some songs hit different when your whole life hurts
Seen strangers sing the same line word for word
Like for a minute everybody understood
I seen long days turn into good nights
Everything is better when those tunes hit right
Funny how a melody can change the whole room
Make people dance, make people tell the truth
Maybe that's why we all keep coming back
Hands in the air waving to the track
Looking round like "yeah, you feel that too?"
It feels so good to party with you
Some people hide it
Some people show it
Some people dance through it
Some people slow it down
But everybody wants that feeling
Everybody wants that moment
Something real enough to hold onto
We're all trying to feel something
Trying to lose ourselves tonight
Hands up singing to the same song
Like everything gon' be alright
We're all trying to feel something
Something bigger than ourselves
For a moment all the noise stop
And we finally feel something else
(Ohhhhhh)
Feel something
(Ohhhhhh)
Feel something
Everybody singing
Everybody glowing
Everybody chasing
That feeling again
I know people who don't say much
Till the right song come on
Seen hard faces soften in the crowd
Like music let 'em put the weight down
Even bad days sound softer with music on
Getting over your ex with your favourite song
Funny how we all got one track somewhere
That feel like somebody finally gets us
Maybe that's why we hold onto nights like this
Why festivals feel bigger than the music is
Cause underneath all the lights and sound
Everybody just wants connection
Some people hide it
Some people show it
Some people dance through it
Some people slow it down
But everybody wants that feeling
Everybody wants that moment
Something real enough to hold onto
We're all trying to feel something
Trying to lose ourselves tonight
Hands up singing to the same song
Like everything gon' be alright
We're all trying to feel something
Something bigger than ourselves
For a moment all the noise stop
And we finally feel something else
(Ohhhhhh)
Feel something
(Ohhhhhh)
Feel something
And when the lights come down
And everybody heading home
You still carry pieces of it with you
Little moments
Little feelings
Songs that stay inside your chest
Maybe that's the point of all this
We're all trying to feel something
Trying to find a little peace
Somewhere in the sound and silence
Something underneath the noise
We're all trying to feel something
Something honest, something real
Maybe life gets softer slowly
Maybe this is how it heals
(Ohhhhhh)
Feel something
(Ohhhhhh)
Feel something
