 TITLE: Feels Right ARTIST: Sara Daniels WRITERS: Sara Daniels LENGTH: 4:27 GENRE: Rock, pop rock, heavy rock PRODUCER: Reza Vranitzky LABEL: Titanic Records RELEASED: November 14th, 2014 From the Album: Heart Drop (Released: October 22nd, 2014)
Sara is quick to jump from a pretty well upbeat song to one much slower as the album transitions from "Bad News, Baby" to "Feels Right." The tone of the entire album already seems to do a quick change as well, while going from the relationship in "Bad News, Baby," which was a painful one that they wanted to leave but couldn't, to the relationship described in "Feels Right," which is one so great that Sara never wants to be away from it. But with an analysis of the song, it could be argued that both of the relationships in the songs are equally as bad - or even that the relationship in "Feels Right" is worse than the relationship in "Bad News, Baby." Sara Daniels chose, when writing the song, to make sure that none of the relationships that she wrote about seemed too perfect. "I know that some of my fans are younger girls and women who are still looking for love," Sara explains. "If I wrote a song about how perfect my relationship is, and how nothing is ever wrong, then they would get the idea that that's how relationships are, and would never be satisfied with their love life. We all know that no relationship is a perfect relationship, and so pretending that one is is probably the worst thing I could do to my fans."
There are many ways to look and analyze any song, but there are two popular conclusions that most people come to when listening to "Feels Right." The first popular conclusion is that the song is simply about a great relationship where Sara has become very attached to her partner. She describes her partner and the way that she feels around her partner much like the way an artist would describe a drug, and the way that that drug makes her feel. She uses terms in the first verse like "losing my grip" and "numbing the senses" to describe how she feels when she's thinking about him. Together, she says that they fight all the hurts that they've been dealt in the past, and become each other's prey - like they're opening themselves up to each other so much that the other one has every opportunity to hurt them, but instead doesn't take it. In a quiet voice, Sara sings, "I'll always be where you are / If you take me where you are," telling her partner that if they want her, then they have her. The chorus comes in with Sara professing her love once again, telling her partner that when they're around, laying in bed with them, well, "everything feels right." Sara reveals a little more information about their relationship in the next verse, admitting that they're a secret couple - although it may just be the fact that they're sleeping together in a secret. Sara makes her partner promise her every morning that their relationship wasn't doomed from the start, making many listeners think that perhaps there's something else effecting the quality of their relationship - like, perhaps, that her partner has somebody else and that Sara is knowingly the other woman. The relationship in the song comes into full view in the bridge, when Sara tells her partner that everything about them feels right, but only when they're together and she doesn't have to think about anything else in the world. She tells them that the good feelings that they give her end so quickly ("Everything feels right / But it ends so easily") and that she knows that she can't keep her partner with her forever, but something won't let her let them go. Before the song rockets into the last chorus, Sara sings in a soft voice, "I need you with me / I need you with me each day." It's a very dependent relationship that Sara is describing, which leads many people to say that Sara would be better off with the relationship in "Bad News, Baby," which - although seemed abusive - still gave Sara a sense of independence from her partner (or at least enough independence to have the confidence to piss off her partner without fear of retaliation through leaving her).
The other popular way to read this song is to read the possible metaphors simply as the way that they're supposed to read: About drugs. Many people have thought that the song is simply about drug addiction, and the emotions and dependency you feel on your particular drug of choice when you experience it. In looking at the song through those eyes, many lyrics seem to read in a completely different way. Rather than it being the happiness of thinking about her partner being what numbs Sara's senses and makes her lose her grip through the day, it's actually the drugs. She fights her past hurts with the drugs, using them to help herself forget. She becomes her drug's prey, willing letting it damage her body and mind. For the times that she is high, everything feels right. She isn't in pain anymore. The drug assumes the role of the boyfriend for the woman in the song, making the women feel safe for the night. Lyrics about them being a secret tend to make more sense in this analysis of the song as well, as a drug addict would usually try to keep their addiction as much of a secret as possible. The lyric in the bridge, "I know I can't keep you / But I can't let you go" also makes more sense, with the woman in the song confessing that she knows that what she's doing is bad for herself and her body, but because of the addiction, she just can't stop. Both ways to read the song are completely acceptable, and it all depends on the person who is listening to the song to judge what the song is about to them.
Feeling you in me
Losing my grip through the day
Numbing my senses
The night starts slipping away
Fighting our past hurt
We become each other's prey
Sharing dark kisses
Hoping that you're with me to stay
I'll always be where you are
If you take me where you are
When you're around, everything feels right
With you by my side, holding me at night
This feeling is one I won't fight
I'll lay in your arms
Until the daylight...
Until the daylight...
Everything feels right
(When you're around, when you're around)
Everything feels right
I'm your night secret
You'll always be in my heart
But daily, I'll wake up
I'll make you promise
That we were not lost from the start
I'll always be where you are
If you take me where you are
When you're around, everything feels right
With you by my side, holding me at night
This feeling is one I won't fight
I'll lay in your arms
Until the daylight...
Until the daylight...
Everything feels right
(When you're around, when you're around)
Everything feels right
But only when you're in reach
Everything feels right
But it ends so easily
I know I can't keep you
But I can't let go
I need you with me...
I need you with me each day...
When you're around, everything feels right
With you by my side, holding me at night
This feeling is one I won't fight
I'll lay in your arms
Until the daylight...
Until the daylight...
Everything feels right
(Everything feels right)
Everything feels right
(When you're around, when you're around)
Everything feels right
(Everything feels right)
But only when you're in reach
(When you're around, when you're around)
But it ends so easilySOUNDS LIKE:
