The idea for the project began one day a couple of years ago when Alaina made fun of Patrick for playing tennis in college. A year later the two fled their hometown Denver to spend eight months sailing and exploring the North Atlantic coast. During their adventures they began writing music together documenting their experiences. The Longboat Pass Songfacts reports that the pair eventually recorded their songs. The resulting album, Cape Dory, is about their time on the seas, the majority of the tracks being about the difficulties they experienced during their trip.
There other artists with the same name:
2. Australian Indie band containing two brothers, two cousins and a mystery bass player. Tennis have left the halcyon days of art school behind in pursuit of the perfect musical storm. Tennis played their first gig at a strip club in Surry Hills circa ’06, simultaneously debuting in Sydney’s indie and adult entertainment scenes.
Pursuing the former rather than the latter, Tennis have since graced the stages of many more credible venues, supporting the likes of; Matt & Kim(USA), The Ruby Suns(NZ), Wolf and Cub, Children Collide, Lost Valentinos, Tame Impala and The Holidays. Their colliding beats, wild rhythms, melodic vocals and stark atmospheres meld into a festive music de force driving listeners into a sweaty rapture.
3. IDM project of Ben Edwards & Douglas Benford. Their releases:
Wooden Sweets (CD, 2000)
Duckshelf / Interview (7", Expanding 2001)
Europe On Horseback (CD, BiP_HOp 2001)
Furlines (2xCD, BiP_HOp 2003)
4. A now-defunct alternative pop/punk band from New York consisting of singer/guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist Kris Bauman, and drummer Jochen Rueckert.
I Miss That Feeling
Tennis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every little thing I've ever known
And all of the love I've ever show
Something like pleasure, you'd never believe it
Every little need dismantling
Recorded by the needle of an EKG
I miss that feeling
Like my own discovering
Eagerly, tenderly
I miss that feeling
Flicker spread into an itch
Into a burn, into a twitch
Slow and even
Oooh, la la la la la
Oooh, la la la la la
How to explain it or even contain it
When I feel that ragged edge descend
My heart splits open like a vent
Something like pleasure, you'd never believe it
Every little thing starts trembling
Recorded by the needle of an EKG
I miss that feeling
Flicker hot and hovering
Like my own discovering
Eagerly, tenderly
I miss that feeling
Flicker spread into an itch
Into a burn, into a twitch
Slow and even
Oooh, ooooh
I miss that feeling, I miss that feeling
I miss that feeling, I miss that feeling
Ooh, la la la la la
Ooh, la la la la la
Ooh
The song "I Miss That Feeling" by Tennis is about longing for a past feeling that brought the singer a lot of pleasure. The opening verse suggests that the singer can remain loyal even in difficult situations, but despite their efforts, they can't recapture the same feeling they once had. The line "Something like pleasure, you'd never believe it" suggests that the feeling was almost indescribable and hard to convey to others. The second verse goes on to describe the physical effects of this feeling, including trembling and the heart splitting open.
The chorus repeats the line "I miss that feeling" over and over again, emphasizing the depth of the singer's longing. The use of the words "flicker," "itch," "burn," and "twitch" convey a sense of restlessness and physical discomfort. The repeated "la la la" at the end of the chorus suggests a feeling of resignation as well, as if the singer has given up hope of ever feeling that way again.
Overall, the song captures the elusive nature of pleasure and how it can be hard to maintain or replicate. The singer's desire to recapture a lost feeling is relatable to many, as we all have experiences that we wish we could relive but can never quite recapture.

I miss that feeling
I long for that sensation
Flicker hot and hovering
A quick and intense spark that hovers around
Like my own discovering
Just like finding something new myself
Eagerly, tenderly
Full of excitement and care
Flicker spread into an itch
That spark turned into an irritation
Into a burn, into a twitch
Then it became a burning sensation and a sudden involuntary movement
Slow and even
A gradual and steady sensation
Oooh, la la la la la
How to explain it or even contain it
It's hard to describe or control
When I feel that ragged edge descend
When that rough sensation starts to take over
My heart splits open like a vent
My heart feels like it's bursting open
Every little thing starts trembling
All details start shaking

Lol at the people responding to this thinking you're insulting them when you are just referring to their music style sounding more and more vintage. Idyots
