May 3, 201114 yr Oh dear. I loved The Feeling and I got quite excited when I saw they had so much support on here. Foolish me thinking that would translate into some sort of real world success.
May 4, 201114 yr Would anyone have a mp3 of this song ? I was like a massive fan of them and I still haven't heard it yet :o And on youtube it's just rubbish low quality live versions, you wouldn't think it's out already ! So please anyone PM me the hit :kink:
May 4, 201114 yr well you could always buy it?....... available from iTunes, amazon etc.. If you like the song you should support the artist :) x
May 4, 201114 yr well you could always buy it?....... available from iTunes, amazon etc.. If you like the song you should support the artist :) x No cause if you want to buy it off Itunes UK or other UK stores, you must have a bank account in the UK, which is not easy to get when you don't live in the UK, you see. And by the way things are going for them, I don't think there will be a European release anytime soon. And anyway, most people on here are music lovers who buy a lot more music than random people out there, so no need to sound patronising about illegal download on here.

May 4, 201114 yr Apparently a physical release of the single will be coming in June around their album release and the video is coming in the next few weeks. I really don't know whether anything can save how their comeback has done. I doubt that performing on Paul O Grady will do much as its 255 on itunes now :cry:
May 6, 201114 yr Brilliant performance on Paul O Grady but it'll do f*** all to they are 638 on itunes and keep falling rapidly. I actually wonder if they are expecting it to flop terribly and with the video, more promotion hopefully, radio airplay on the way and this supposed physical release around June whether they'll shock us and suprisingly be a Hit of somesort later on. Might sound like wishful thinking but It seems they have only just got started with it not fully promoted yet except for releasing it on itunes for fans as a taster and 1 show appearance.

May 6, 201114 yr Awful song. That performance on Paul O'Grady Live was literally one of the cringiest things I've ever seen. :/
May 6, 201114 yr Awful song. That performance on Paul O'Grady Live was literally one of the cringiest things I've ever seen. :/ Guess it can't be everyone's cup of tea but I personally love it. Great song for the summer. How was it cringy though :huh: Edited May 6, 201114 yr by Rob Summers
June 9, 201114 yr Author New album's out a week on Monday... listening to the Radio 2 concert finally... Another Soldier is SO GOOD :o The track with SEB is nice too... last day to listen... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011d...rt_The_Feeling/
June 13, 201114 yr Can someone tell me whether this has definetly flopped or is there still hope with the album. I blame the lack of promotion for it personally. Been badly handled by the record label & OAOS situation after all the excitement of their return to me personally.
June 13, 201114 yr Author There was an interview with them on MusicWeek today... INTERVIEW: The Feeling take their time to craft new album June 11 2011 By Stephen Jones After spending just three months working on their second album, The Feeling decided to take a rather more relaxed approach to their third. It was, according to frontman Dan Gillespie Sells, a necessary approach for a band that wanted to concentrate on their songwriting craft. “We’ve taken our time and the reason is we’ve not been prepared to give it to the label until it is good enough,” Sells told Music Week. “That has to be the case if you want to survive in an industry where what you want to do is songwriting.” Island Records head of A&R Louis Bloom said he was more than happy to wait until the band were ready to deliver Together We Were Made, which is released on June 20. “This new album takes a few more creative risks, which they needed to do, but the bedrock is still classic song writing at its best,” Bloom said. “Dan is one of the most successful UK songwriters of his generation. He could give anyone a master class in how to write a timeless pop record.” Sells, however, might disagree. “I’m not a very good person to ask [about pop]really,” he said. “I feel a bit disconnected from it. I don’t follow trends, I’m not in that demographic. I’m 32-years-old but pop music is not just for kids but for grown-ups as well.” “I don’t write anything for anyone I just make music I want to make, it’s very instinctive,” Sells added. “We didn’t make a plan [for this album], the songs just take their own direction. We’ve were deeply unfashionable before, we just follow our own noses. If you try to over-think it, it goes wrong.” Sells was discussing how the tremendous success of their 2006 debut Twelve Stops And Home – which went double platinum in the UK and sold more than 1.5m copies worldwide – dwarfed its 2008 successor Join With Us, which shifted just 160,000 copies in the UK. Join With Us certainly lacked the string of hit singles its predecessor produced – among them Sewn, Never Be Lonely and Fill My Little World – which propelled them to be the most played band on UK radio in 2006. Sells admitted Join With Us “doesn’t have the same quality of songs on the first or third album” explaining that it was “knocked out in three months and represents a smaller period of work.IIf your work is based on songwriting, as ours is, well if you just release first 10 songs you write, they are not going to be up to standard,” he added. “We’ve taken our time.” This time the band fully recorded some 40 songs in total, many of which were done in their own London studio. Sells explained, “Working in our own space, it doesn’t bother anyone if we want to record at 3am.” Of those 40 recordings, 15 were swiftly written off and a shortlist of 25 was then “lived with” until the band realised which tracks they kept returning to. “It’s a lot of recordings but I don’t know if a song is going to be great until I finish it,” Sells said. “You have got to let it exist fully and those that survived we cameback to over time.” The first release is Set My World On Fire (impact date, June 13). While the band still produce their own material, several tracks were coproduced by Brighton dance outfit The Freemasons, who worked in a separate room to the band as they recorded live, throwing ideas back and forth. “We know how to record a band but one thing we can’t do is the synthy modern dance stuff,” said Sells. “We were throwing stuff across and they were messing around with loops and pushing that organic sound and sending stuff back, it was great fun.” The band also collaborated with several female vocalists, including Sophie Ellis-Bextor, wife of bassist Richard Jones, and former Moloko frontwoman Roisin Murphy. It says today is the impact date for SMWOF, so I guess that there is another chance for it...
June 13, 201114 yr Well the album's pretty high in all the pre-order charts - 2nd in play (the top for albums coming out next week) There is more promo coming, (They're on Lorraine next week and there's an album launch gig on the Friday) but I agree it hasn't been great and nothing compared with what it was like when Join With Us came out.. I hope it does well, from the live stuff I've heard over the last year it sounds fantastic (lovely to see the songs progress from the first time of hearing most of them last May - it has been a long time coming!) so really does deserve to do well *Fingers crossed* for it!
June 13, 201114 yr oh, and forgot to mention there were a bunch of signed physical CD's of Set My World On Fire (released today) which'll contribute to chart position - again, it won't let me do links but just search Townsend records, set my world on fire 205 is the highest I've seen since release week - it seems to have been going up steadily by about 100 a day (but the last few days it's been stuck in the 200's) still though all good!

It's been higher than that.... peak so far I think is 133 or somewhere close to that.
June 13, 201114 yr Author True. But I do get the feeling (heh) they're the kind of band that have a fanbase that still buy physicals (I would have had there been a 7"). But I'm preordering the deluxe album, and I'd say that's more important to them than a hit single, considering how different the charts have been lately.
