From The Album: Rewrite

Feel is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Blake for his debut solo album, Rewrite. The song was released as the third single from the project on July 30th 2020. Appearing as the ninth track on the album's track listing, Feel was solely written by Blake Williams himself in late 2017. Production of the track was handled by Swedish songwriting and production duo, Mattman & Robin. It was the last song to be finalised before the album's mixing and mastering process. Feel is an electropop song containing twanging, airy synths and rattling programmed drums. Blake's vocals on the chorus of the song are "fuller" than usual, using his chest voice to create a bigger sound as opposed to his usual soft and breathy deliver, which can still be heard on the verses. The song has been noted for its catchy melody and commercial appeal within its production. Situated in the latter segment of the album, it is one of the most introspective songs on the album. Feel is about the calm after the storm and trying to adapt a new positive mindset. As Rewrite is a concept album telling a story throughout, Feel is the ninth instalment in the journey. The song sees Blake wanting to push ahead in a new positive direction and, despite not being fully whole, he is adamant that it won't be for much longer. It is dubbed as the "hope" song.

"I can't wait to sing this one live. It's just such a freeing experience. From the belting in the chorus to the breezy beats and the overall positive vibes in the track, I just know it's going to be a great one to perform. There are some sad lyrics here and there's a slightly darker undertone to Feel. The fact that I'm lying to myself about how great life is going to be is a little sad but I wanted to show that. It was a real time in my life. It's sort of like the flip-side of the song "Roses". On that one, I wanted to make a change but was too much of a pussy to really go for it. Negative thoughts consumed me. On Feel, however, I'm putting nothing but positive energy into the universe and hoping that it will find its way back to me. Yeah, I was fucking READY to take on a new chapter. Had no idea what that chapter was at the time but I knew that I had more to offer. Little did I know that releasing my own music would be the next step. Didn't think it was possible. When I was experiencing what I wrote on "Feel", I was still clueless about my career and just the path of my life in general but I started to see that as a positive. It was a blank slate and I was ready to grab new opportunities to fill that up. It was also a little emotional to write because it was touching on that moment when I realised that I WAS worthy, that I DO DESERVE happiness. Sometimes I don't give myself credit or think too highly of myself."

Feel

I just know this life is going to change
Right around the corner is a brand new day

Barefoot on the grass, feeling so alive
I've never gazed upon any clearer skies
Forgot how to relax within this mind of mine
Clouds have lifted, my time is around the corner
Praying tomorrow is the start of forever
I'm pushing through, this is gonna get better

I just la-la-la-la-lie to myself
Put the thoughts out into the universe
Tricking the timid man in the mirror
One of these days he's going to be a winner

I've gone way too long without any of it
All I want, all I want is something real
I can feel the rumblings through the madness
The cracks are closing and I'm gonna heal
I'm finding the breath I need to scream about it
All I want, all I want is just to feel

World,
Gimme all you got, gimme all you got, gimme all you got
Hit me with that rush, hit me with that rush, hit me with that rush
Shower me with love, shower me with love, shower me with love
I'm ready, I'm so ready

Spent too long in the wings waiting on an offer
Merely existing and just treading waters
But there's a blank page and I'm the author
No words yet but I'm sure they'll come in time
New inspirations from what I seek and find
Won't be long until all these stars align

I just la-la-la-la-lie to myself
Put the thoughts out into the universe
Tricking the timid man in the mirror
One of these days he's going to be a winner

I've gone way too long without any of it
All I want, all I want is something real
I can feel the rumblings through the madness
The cracks are closing and I'm gonna heal
I'm finding the breath I need to scream about it
All I want, all I want is just to feel

World,
Gimme all you got, gimme all you got, gimme all you got
Hit me with that rush, hit me with that rush, hit me with that rush
Shower me with love, shower me with love, shower me with love
I'm ready, I'm so ready

Gimme all you got
Hit me with that rush
Shower me with love
I'm ready, I'm ready to feel

I've gone way too long without any of it
All I want, all I want is something real
I can feel the rumblings through the madness
The cracks are closing and I'm gonna heal
I'm finding the breath I need to scream about it
All I want, all I want is just to feel

I've gone way too long without any of it
All I want, all I want is something real
I can feel the rumblings through the madness
The cracks are closing and I'm gonna heal
I'm finding the breath I need to scream about it
All I want, all I want is just to feel

I just know this life is going to change
