The Feeling- I Thought It Was Over
on March 20th, 2008 by Dj top chart
To note that The Feeling polarise opinion is like saying Britney’s lacking a bit of direction at the moment. Twelve Stops and Home, their debut album, found its way into 800,000 British homes, but as many again sneered at it for being “boring”, “derivative” and, worst of all, “soft rock”. ‘I Thought It Was Over’, the lead single from their follow-up disc, Join With Us, is likely to widen the divide.
Springing from that most unfashionable of musical sub-genres, early eighties dance-rock, it’s a taste-shunning riot of tinny synths, cock rock guitar riffs and ‘Radio Ga Ga’ drum breaks. The references to the fall of the Berlin Wall tend towards crassness - “Another year and the job was done, the old republic was dead and gone” sounds like an excerpt from a damning GSCE examiner’s report – but, wrapped in a package this infectious, it’s hard to hold a grudge. The Feeling’s knack for crafting big, glorious pop hooks hasn’t deserted them, and, as ever, Dan Gillespie-Sells has a way of making ordinary sentiments sound very moving indeed.

Lyrics
The Feeling- I Thought It Was Over
A baby king with a grown man’s crown
And we played in the sun as the curtain was tumbling
Well I was young and I could not see
That if you go won’t you please take me
And you told me that I would forget you eventually
Yeah, yeah
I thought it was over but it’s not
I thought it was over but it’s not
I’m spinning in circles I can’t stop
I thought it was over but it’s not
I’m in love
With a fool
And you don’t know what you’ve lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it’s not
Yeah
Another year and the job was done
The old republic was dead and gone
And the new way of living would be a reality
But it’s a while since you shut that door
I lie awake ain’t asleep no more
Though the nightmare is gone now I don’t have a dream
I thought it was over but it’s not
I thought it was over but it’s not
I’m spinning in circles I can’t stop
I thought it was over but it’s not
I’m in love
With a fool
And you don’t know what you’ve lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it’s not
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know?
I’m spinning in circles I can’t stop
I thought it was over but it’s not
I’m in love
With a fool
And you don’t know what you’ve lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it’s not
