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.
This Time
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's in your heart, who's in your bed
I'm trying, I'm trying to see
What I see in you, what you see in me
But it makes no sense to me but
I'm gonna do it properly this time
Gonna get it right, gonna get it right
I'll be alright, I'll be alright
'cause I did it right
I'm sorry but what can I say?
I'm paying a price for playing those games
And baby, you turned it on me
And now I can see things I never could see
I just want to make my peace
I'm gonna do it properly this time
Gonna get it right, get it right
And if my love escapes me this time
Gonna be alright, I'll be alright
I'm gonna try, oh yeah, oh, oh, aah, aah, aah
I'm gonna do it properly this time
Gonna get it right, gonna get it right
And if my love escapes me this time
I'll be alright, I'll be alright
I'll be alright, I'll be alright
'cause I did it right

They want to get the relationship right, and they're willing to put in the effort to make that happen. Even if things don't work out in the end, they'll be able to take comfort in knowing that they did everything they could.

They acknowledge that they may have played games or messed things up, but they're ready to make peace and move forward. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song reinforces the singer's determination to do things right this time around.
