Reaching all states and territories of OZ, including sold out large auditoriums to intimate acoustic shows… The Dan England “A year on the Road tour,” ironically lasted 15 months because of its success.
Dan England’s self-titled, independent debut single was used as a part of the 2007 RAAF promotions campaign. Hitting number five on the Itunes charts.
Early 2007 Dan toured with Chris Murphy (fourth place getter in 2006 Australian Idol) locally in SE Queensland.
Dan's self titled mini-album was in stores in the third quarter of 2006. The first single released to radio was Reason to Fly.
England was Shannon Noll's national support for two of his tours in 2006.
In 2005 he came fourth on Australian Idol, by a difference of 27 votes less than Lee Harding. England's elimination was attributed in part to the fact that his home state, Queensland, did not participate in daylight saving and that Queensland voters therefore had one hour less to make their votes. This viewpoint was expounded further in national parliament by the State Premier, Peter Beattie.
Brisbane's Dan England won the hearts of a nation with his soulful and angelic voice, dreadlock hairstyle and warm charisma on the 2005 season of Australian Idol.
After his highly successful run on Idol, Dan England has created his remarkable story by doing what he loves best, by honing his songs and playing to tens of thousands of people in towns and cities across Australia.
Feel
Dan England Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told her everything would be alright
I searched her eyes for a sign
To see if she was shinning her love light
Then, she said I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
I could not breath, I could not speak
But, then I took a walk out in the air
I thought her love was mine to keep
Ah but, her words keep on ringing in my ears
She said I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
And I could not lead you on anymore
Ooh ooh
Many nights I was alone
Then I learned to live here with the walls
Ah then one day she's on the phone
Ah telling me she loves me after all
I said, I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
And I could not lead you on
I could not lead you on anymore
Ooh ooh
The lyrics of "Feel" by Dan England revolve around the theme of heartbreak and moving on. The song begins with the singer holding his lover's hands and telling her that everything is going to be all right. He is trying to read her emotions through her eyes to understand if she still loves him. However, she breaks the news to him that she does not feel the same way she used to, and her heart has closed the way to him. She refuses to lead him on and gives him a clear message that she cannot revive what is already dead, leaving him heartbroken and speechless.
The heartbreak is too much for him to handle, and he cannot breathe or speak. He goes out for a walk, hoping to find some peace, but his mind keeps going back to his lover's words. He thought her love was his to keep but realizes that it was gone. The second stanza reflects his inner turmoil as he deals with the pain of his broken heart.
The final verse of the song takes an unexpected twist when the former lover calls to tell him that she loves him after all. But the singer has moved on and made peace with his heartbreak, telling her that he cannot lead her on anymore.
Overall, the song "Feel" is a bittersweet reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the journey to move on. It exposes how people's emotions can change and how one's heart can become closed to love. The singer portrays a sense of vulnerability, loneliness, and isolation in his deep vocals, making the song an emotional and touching experience for the listeners.

I held her hands in the night
I clasped her hands tenderly in the darkness of the night
I told her everything would be alright
I uttered words to assure her that things will be fine
I searched her eyes for a sign
I gazed keenly into her eyes, seeking a signal
To see if she was shinning her love light
To determine if her affection for me was still ablaze
Then, she said I just don't feel that way no more
Suddenly, she blurted out that her feelings for me have dwindled
And the way to my heart is closed door
She shut the entrance to her heart, leaving me outside
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
It's impossible to revive something that's already dead, that's certain
And I could not lead you on anymore
I couldn't deceive or give false hope to you any longer
I could not breath, I could not speak
I felt suffocated, speechless with pain
But, then I took a walk out in the air
But then I went outside to get some fresh air
I thought her love was mine to keep
I believed that her love for me was permanent
Ah but, her words keep on ringing in my ears
However, her words still echo in my mind
Many nights I was alone
For many nights, I felt solitary
Then I learned to live here with the walls
I became accustomed to my lonely dwelling place
Ah then one day she's on the phone
Then suddenly, she called me on the phone
Ah telling me she loves me after all
And she finally admitted that she still loves me
I said, I just don't feel that way no more
I responded to her profession of love by telling her my feelings had changed as well
And the way to my heart is closed door
Simply put, I no longer have any romantic interest in her
I could not lead you on anymore
I would not pretend or give false hope to her again

Thanks for the video, this song is one of my favorites from Dan Seals and hard to find. The late great Dan Seals was the complete package, singer, songwriter, and musician, he was a good guitarist and pianoman, could sing lead or backup harmonies and was a prolific songwriter. He's one of the Elite!
