Stylisticly, The Feeling have a debt of gratitude to the 70s, particularly bands such as 10cc, Supertramp, Pilot, Buggles, Queen, Stackridge, and other "progressive pop" acts. They are not averse to wearing their heart on their sleeve at gigs, playing covers of tunes by their favourite artists (such as 'Video Killed The Radio Star' by Buggles).
The Feeling have also followed the 'progressive' tradition of the concept album, with Twelve Stops and Home being a concept album about lost and unrequited love. The album starts with a relationship having just broken up, then follows through with the various emotions of the protagonist from hopeless dreamer to turning to drink for comfort, and finally slumping home.
My Little World
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left this city for a day
You took me southwards on a plane
And showed me Spain or somewhere
But in reality you're not so keen to show me anything
And I thought you liked me
Hey, show some love, you ain't so tough
Someday you're going to realize
(I want you)
To fill my little world right up, right up, right up
Yeah, so what you gonna do
With all this stuff piling up, filling up and taking up
You misunderstand me
All I wanted was some evidence
That you really like me
(You really like me)
Hey, show some love, you ain't so tough
Come fill my little world right up, right up
Someday you're going to realize
(I want you)
To fill my little world right up, right up, right up
Maybe it's all too much
How come we're so messed up
Maybe I'm not in love
Maybe you're just too much
Hey, show some love, you ain't so tough
Come fill my little world right up
Oh
Oh
Yeah
Hey, show some love, you ain't so tough
Come fill my little world right up, right up
Someday you're going to realize
(I want you)
To fill my little world right up, right up
Hey, show some love, you ain't so tough
Come fill my little world right up, right up
Someday you're going to realize
That I'm passing you by
So fill your little world right up, right up, right up
Oh
Come on and show me you ain't so tough
The Feeling’s song Fill My Little World is an upbeat and poppy track that tells the story of a love that’s not being reciprocated. In the first verse, the singer describes a dream in which their partner takes them on a trip to Spain or somewhere exotic, but in reality, their partner is not interested in doing anything like that. The chorus emphasizes the singer’s desire for love and attention, pleading for their partner to “show some love” and “fill my little world right up.”
The second verse reveals the singer’s frustration with their partner’s lack of affection, as they feel like they are constantly giving but not receiving anything in return. This section is followed by an instrumental break, building up the tension before the final chorus, where the singer repeats their desire for their partner to show them love and fill their world up.
The song’s overall message is one of longing and unrequited love, with the singer begging for affection from someone who may not be able to provide it. The upbeat and catchy melody may mask the underlying sadness of the lyrics, making it a bittersweet but relatable track for anyone who has ever felt alone in a relationship.

I had a dream we went away
I dreamt we left this place for a while
Left this city for a day
We took a break and left the city for a day
You took me southwards on a plane
You took me on a trip to the south on a plane
And showed me Spain or somewhere
You showed me a new place, maybe Spain or another country
But in reality you're not so keen to show me anything
In reality, you don't seem interested in showing me anything new
And I thought you liked me
I thought you were interested in me
Hey, show some love, you ain't so tough
Come on, be affectionate, you're not that unapproachable
Come fill my little world right up, right up
Make me happy with your love and attention
Someday you're going to realize (I want you)
Eventually, you'll understand that I want you
Yeah, so what you gonna do
What are you going to do next?
With all this stuff piling up, filling up and taking up
With all these things accumulating and taking space
You misunderstand me
You don't understand me correctly
All I wanted was some evidence
I just needed some proof
That you really like me (You really like me)
That you genuinely have feelings for me
Maybe it's all too much
Maybe everything is overwhelming
How come we're so messed up
Why are we in such a complicated situation?
Maybe I'm not in love
Maybe I don't love you
Maybe you're just too much
Maybe you're too intense for me
Hey, show some love, you ain't so tough
Show me some love, you're not tough to please
Come fill my little world right up
Make me happy with your love and attention
Oh, Oh, Yeah
Random vocalization
That I'm passing you by
That I'm moving ahead of you
So fill your little world right up, right up, right up
So make yourself happy with whatever fills your world
Oh
Random vocalization
Come on and show me you ain't so tough
Show me that you're not as difficult as you seem
