Feelin'
The La's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And found me lying on the floor
I look up at the ceiling
I must be dreaming
When I get that feeling
Oh my Lord I can't take no more
You can't stop that feeling
What we believe in
Is just a feeling
So thank God for that feeling
Oh my lord I can't take no more
I get the feeling
That I am responding to a call
I am receiving
To give you this feeling
Thank God for that feeling
I could not ask for anymore
The La's' song "Feelin'" is a song that revolves around the theme of a feeling that is so overpowering that it cannot be ignored. The song opens up with "I woke up with a feeling and found me lying on the floor" which suggests that the singer has been overwhelmed by this feeling so much that it has knocked him down. The line "I look up at the ceiling, I must be dreaming" is used to explain how surreal the experience of the feeling is. The use of the phrase "I must be dreaming" indicates that the feeling is so intense that it can't be happening in reality.
The chorus of the song is catchy and easy to sing along to. The phrase "When I get that feeling, oh my Lord I can't take no more" repeats throughout the song and emphasizes how powerful the feeling is. The singer feels as if he can't handle the feeling and would rather it just stop. The line "You can't stop that feeling, it just goes on forevermore" highlights that the feeling is beyond his control and he has to accept it.
The song has a positive message, though, which is revealed in the last verse. The verses suggest that the singer is receiving a calling and has been given the feeling as a gift. The feeling is something that he is meant to share with others. The final lines of the song "Thank God for that feeling, I could not ask for anymore" reinforce the message that the feeling is a blessing.

I woke up with a feeling
I became conscious with an emotion
And found me lying on the floor
I noticed that I was laying on the ground
I look up at the ceiling
I observed the roof of my surroundings
I must be dreaming
I believe that I am in a state of sleep and having vivid thoughts or sensations
When I get that feeling
On the occasion that the emotion presents itself
Oh my Lord I can't take no more
The sentiment is unbearable
You can't stop that feeling
The emotion is unstoppable
It just goes on for evermore
It lasts infinitely
What we believe in
Our convictions
Is just a feeling
Are simply emotional reactions
So thank God for that feeling
Be grateful for the sentiment
I get the feeling
I sense an emotion
That I am responding to a call
I am answering a summons
I am receiving
I am obtaining
To give you this feeling
To bestow this emotion upon you
Thank God for that feeling
Express appreciation for the emotion
I could not ask for anymore
I do not require anything else

I am receiving and
I get that meaning
So thank God for that feeling
I could not ask for anymore

It's really mind-boggling that this song's not even two minutes long, yet it feels so complete and has so much substance to it.

Lee Mavers is an amazing songwriter. Just wish he'd have written a few more.
@thebetbetunderground9548
@@barrymewha7717 he really was one of a kind. the man just got too hung up on perfection, which is sad. the world needs his music.

Great follow up to "There She Goes" really good.
@worldnotworld
Guided by Voices are capable of this too.

This makes cry, saddest upbeat song ever... Love it.
@thebetbetunderground9548
+Idjut Boy Yeah, I feel the same way. That's 'cause underneath the muscle, this song has such an aching heart in it. Listen to the Crescent Tape version of "Was it Something I Said?", for another upbeat song that'll make you cry.

104 seconds of perfection.
