1) Felt was a 1980s UK indie band hailing from Birmingham, led by enigmatic Lawrence Hayward (or, just "Lawrence" for preference), and usually included guitarist Maurice Deebank and drummer Gary Ainge.
The band claimed to have released ten albums and ten singles in ten years but actually released 11 singles if you include their debut Index on Shanghai Packaging. They were influenced by, among others, New York band Television and 60's icon Bob Dylan. Forming in 1979, Felt never broke through to the mainstream, but enjoyed a substantial cult following. Throughout the early 1980s, Felt released a number of oblique, minimalistic guitar pop gems. In 1986 they broke through with the single "Primitive Painters" (featuring the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser), and the album "Forever Breathes The Lonely Word". Here, Hayward's trademark melodic songs are matched by a fuller sound - catchy organ lines from Martin Duffy (now with Primal Scream) and Deebank's cascading guitars feature throughout.
Following this, releases in 1987 of Poem Of The River, in 1988 of The Pictorial Jackson Review, and in 1989 of Me And A Monkey On The Moon, cemented Felt's cult following and reputation, before Hayward split the band up to pursue 70s-influenced project, Denim, and subsequently Go-Kart Mozart.
Felt's influence continues to reverberate in the music of current bands like Belle and Sebastian who have acknowledged their admiration.
2) Felt is a collaboration between emcees Murs (Nick Carter) and Slug (Sean Daley of Atmosphere). The group has released two albums so far, with the first one being produced by Murs' fellow Living Legends member the grouch and the second one with Slugs long time beat maker ant behind the boards.
according to the Rhymesayers website (their label):
FELT is a musical collaboration with the long-term goal of having sex with b-level Hollywood actresses. On tour back in 2001, Murs and Slug were in a van driving from Eugene, OR to San Francisco, CA. Near Weed, CA on highway 5 South, there was a heated discussion over which rapper had the better chance of sleeping with Christina Ricci. Murs and Slug decided to make a record dedicated to Christina Ricci (with the hope of either Murs or Slug succeeding in having sex with her). Built on friendly competition, it was also an experiment to see if a rap record would be able to help breathe new life into her career.
The duo is coming at it once again with Aesop Rock taking control of the production. Felt 3 A Tribute to Rosie Perez was released in 2009.
3) Felt was an early '70 band from Alabama. Their sole album, titled FELT and issued in 1971, is full of good guitar work and fine vocals, and has become a very rare collectors' item. The band's leader Myke Jackson also made a solo album.
4) FELT is a Japanese doujinshi circle primarily focusing on the Touhou franchise, comprising of around 10 members. Their first album released in 2010, titled Milky Wink. They primarily focus on Ambient and Pop but also do Electronic vocal tracks as well. In 2020, it was announced on Twitter that the next album after Last Wink is going to be their final album as FELT believe they will disband afterwards.
Woman Tonight
Felt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be my woman tonight, love me, feelin' right
Hey lady I don't mean to be so forward
But I got no other choice soon I'll be across the border
Tour mode I'm leaving in the a.m
But I wanna spend this evening breathing in your fragrance
Too long since I've seen my better half
Road life is the only one I have to give
Lonely isn't a strong enough adjective to describe all the nights that I've tried to grip tight,
I lack the necessary tools to help me get right
So take your place as the temporary savior,
While I'm looking at your face like I'll be testing on it later
I bet you like to fuck but you love to argue,
Poke a hole into my chest and pull my heart through,
Up to my room for cigarettes and cartoons,
Or we can sit right here and try and guard these bar stools.
I take you any way that I can have you,
Bring along your ethics and your issues and your taboos.
It's not the standard free bird situation,
But you're talking to these pieces of a man that's trying to make it through the puzzles, travels, struggles, battles, the body pillow pimp trying to snuggle with my shadow
We could stay proper, keep the clothes on no pressure
Just hold me and pretend like you've known me forever
Wont'cha?
[Chorus]
Damn why'd she hafta leave right after the show?
All that eye contact made from the front row
Them vibes I was gettin' man I thought it was a go,
Could use that type of company you just don't know
I been on the road for like six months straight,
Only two days off between all of them dates
The hardest working man in the underground game ,
Most times I'm too tired to hang around and spit game
Most nights are the same,
Shows is just like work,
Leave the stage stand around sellin' merchant shirts,
Then I picked the pink skirt out the corner of my eye,
By the exit posted up like a tack lookin' fly,
I tried to play it cool but I couldn't pretend,
So I approached hella anxious with a silly ass grin,
She said she dropped off her friends so we could be alone,
Gave her undivided attention,
Turned off the phone.
Took me out for pancakes, paid for the dinner,
Then took me to my room and we watched Sportscenter,
And then we made out,
And then we made love,
And then I passed out while I got a back rub,
But in the middle of the night I reached for a second helping,
Got a hand full of sheets I was all by myself,
And before you could say 'god damn that sucks!,' jaybird called,
Cats van bag fuck!
[Chorus: x6]
The song "Woman Tonight" by Felt is a narrative of a man's story of constantly being on the road and the loneliness that comes with it. He meets a woman whom he sees as his savior for the evening before he hits the road the next morning. The chorus of the song is a plea for her to be with him for the night as they share a connection that is difficult to find when constantly traveling. He understands that their relationship is temporary, but he still wants to make the most of it while he can. He acknowledges that she may have her own ethical and taboo issues, but he is willing to take her any way he can have her.
The lyrics reveal the vulnerability of the singer as he struggles with his emotions while trying to make the most of his life on the road. He craves companionship, even if it is for a night, and the woman he meets provides him with the comfort and solace he needs. However, their one-night stand comes to an end as he must continue his never-ending tour, leaving behind his temporary savior.
Line by Line Meaning
Hey lady I don't mean to be so forward
I'm sorry if I'm being too bold
But I got no other choice soon I'll be across the border
I have to express my feelings now because I'll be leaving soon
Tour mode I'm leaving in the a.m
I'm going back on tour tomorrow morning
But I wanna spend this evening breathing in your fragrance
I want to spend time with you and enjoy your company
Sometimes you gotta let go, close your eyes and let it crash
Sometimes you have to let things happen and not try to control everything
Lonely isn't a strong enough adjective to describe all the nights that I've tried to grip tight
I've been really lonely on this tour and it's hard to cope with
So take your place as the temporary savior
Can you be my temporary comfort and support?
While I'm looking at your face like I'll be testing on it later
I find you attractive and might want to pursue a romantic relationship in the future
Poke a hole into my chest and pull my heart through
You have the ability to break my heart and affect me deeply
Up to my room for cigarettes and cartoons
Let's hang out and do something lowkey like watch TV
Or we can sit right here and try and guard these bar stools
Let's just chill here and enjoy each other's company
Bring along your ethics and your issues and your taboos
I accept you for who you are and I want to know your values, troubles, and boundaries
Damn why'd she hafta leave right after the show?
I'm disappointed that she left right after the concert
Most times I'm too tired to hang around and spit game
I'm usually too exhausted after performing to try to impress someone
Then I picked the pink skirt out the corner of my eye
I noticed her pink skirt from across the room
Took me out for pancakes, paid for the dinner
She treated me to a meal at a restaurant
And then we made out, and then we made love
We were intimate with each other
But in the middle of the night I reached for a second helping
I wanted to be with her again
