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.
Without You (Linus Loves Remix
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last time round for all we know
Wonder what the time is in London
As they tear this world apart
Step by step it breaks my heart
Wonder what the time is in London
Eighty dead and one teenage gun man
I wonder what the time is in London
Without you
I get up early every morning
(without you)
I open up the blind and I let the dawn in
(without you)
And then I think about growing older
(without you)
And my blood runs a little colder
(without you)
It's raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)
Tales of screams from giant screens
Full of fear and full of beans
Wonder what the news is in London
Tell me what I've always known
Life is love and love's at home
Wonder if they miss me in London
These are the things that make us glad we're still alive
Even though you heart's in the dungeon
I wonder what the time is in London
Without you
I get up early every morning
(without you)
I open up the blind and I let the dawn in
(without you)
And then I think about growing older
(without you)
And my blood runs a little colder
(without you)
It's raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)
It's raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
na na na na na na na
(without you)
(without you)
It's raining hard in, North Virginia
(without you)
Just like London town (just like London town)
Yeah! (without you)
It's raining hard in, North Virginia
(without you)
Just like London town (just like London town)
(without you)>
The Feeling's song "Without You" (Linus Loves Remix) is a melancholic piece that depicts the different emotions one goes through in the absence of a loved one. The first stanza talks about the passing of time, alluding to the fleeting nature of life. The line “As they tear this world apart, Step by step it breaks my heart” talks about the world falling apart while the singer helplessly watches on. The mention of London seems to be a metaphorical reference to a place of solace, where the singer hopes to find some relief amid the chaos.
The second stanza talks about the sadness and loneliness that the singer feels within the absence of the loved one. This is further emphasized by the repetition of “Without you” throughout the song. The singer also talks about growing older and feeling the oppressive weight of time without the loved one by their side. The line “Even though your heart's in the dungeon” is suggestive of the loved one's emotional turmoil in their absence.
The song ends with the mention of North Virginia and the reference to the heavy rain in both Virginia and London. The song seems to juxtapose physical distance with emotional distance, highlighting the singer's emotional turmoil and longing for the loved one. Overall, the song is a sad and reflective piece that delves deep into the feelings and thoughts of someone experiencing the absence of a loved one.
