The Feeling were amongst the leaders of the indie pop movement of the mid-2000s. Their soft rock tunes hence instantly transport many, like me, in their early twenties, back to their teenage years. You can imagine my excitement when I found out that they were touring again. My friends and I immediately booked tickets to see them in Liverpool.
The night kicked off with ‘Blue Murder’, a single from their latest album, ‘Boy Cried Wolf.’ On a darkened stage, illuminated by a single spot light, lead-singer Dan Gillespie-Sells generated hush amongst the previously screaming audience. And then the lights flashed on, the rest of the band appeared, and the guitars and drums jumped into life. Despite having faded slightly from the public glare, The Feeling clearly still enjoy considerable popularity, with crowd members singing along to their latest release.
But the audience really came to life with the next song. The crowd jumped and screamed as the familiar intro to ‘Fill My Little World’ echoed around the room. Soon everyone was singing along to the soft-rock tune and I got that teen-nostalgia trip I’d been searching for. A similar effect was achieved later in the show when The Feeling played their earliest hit. Possibly one of the most sickening (but obviously secretly loved by many) chart tunes ever, ‘People in Love’ often proves divisive. Not here though. The Feeling performed with such enthusiasm that even the greatest sceptics, dragged along by their less world-weary friends, threw themselves into singing along.
While it’s fair to say that I most enjoyed the romp through the indie pop classics of my teenage years, the Feeling also didn’t disappoint fans wishing to hear their new releases.
