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.

One Thing That I Want
The Feeling Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A credit card, A busy street
I didn't buy anything
It wasn't hard for me to see
There's nothing here I'm missing
The pretty things you bought for me
That ain't the stuff I really want
I'm missing you terribly
And I know

There's one thing that I want and it's you
To be with me in sin
Be with me in sin
Be with me in sin
There's one thing that I want and it's you
It's nothing that I've got to prove
Just wanna feel
Wanna feel
Wanna feel my love around you
There's one thing that I want and it's you
So now I know and now I'm sure
Of all the things I missed before
A good heart deserves another
And a good heart's what I discovered
Standing there kinda small
Delicate and beautiful
I can't see anything else and no I can't see anything
There's one thing that I want and it's you
Be with me in sin
Be with me in sin
Be with me in sin
There's one thing that I want and it's you
It's nothing that I've got to prove
Just wanna feel
Wanna feel
Wanna feel my love around you
There's one thing that I want and it's you
Be with me in sin
Be with me in sin
Be with me in sin
There's one thing that I want and it's you
Ohhh
Just wanna feel
Wanna feel

Wanna feel my love around you
There's one thing that I want and it's you

Overall Meaning

The Feeling's song "One Thing That I Want" is a love song about realizing what truly matters in life. The opening lines describe a scene in a busy street where the singer didn't feel the need to buy anything as there was nothing there that he was missing. This sets the tone of the song and establishes the theme that material possessions are not important. The singer goes on to mention all the things he has been given by his loved one, but it is not those things that he truly wants. He is missing his loved one terribly and just wants to be with them.

The chorus repeats the line "there's one thing that I want and it's you" which emphasizes the message of the song. The use of the phrase "be with me in sin" may be interpreted as the singer wanting to be intimately close with his loved one. By the end of the song, the singer has come to the realization that what he truly wanted was his loved one and nothing else mattered. The use of the term "good heart" suggests that it is the goodness and kindness of his loved one that he values the most.

Overall, the song highlights the importance of love and relationships over material possessions. It is a reminder that true happiness cannot be bought, but rather can be found in simple things such as being with those we love.
