Feel Good Drag

So this song is Feel Good Drag by Anberlin. I discovered them on Fuse (like most of the artists I post about) and I really fell in love with this song.


I love the introduction to the song, because it's exciting enough to interest you, but it has that tinge of suspense that leads into the first verse. The verses are very cool and story like while the chorus is more of the emotional part. I like the strain Stephen Christian has to his voice, it really pulls you in to the chorus.

But I have a pet peeve: repetitiveness. I think Christian gave it all at the first chorus and so past that, there wasn't anything exciting. I was disappointed that he didn't change his voice with the different chorus sections and/or didn't play around with any notes or rhythms. The vocals also seemed to be quite dynamically impaired.

Guitar, guitar. I liked the guitar part in this song including the solo.

All in all, this is a pretty good song and I am giving it 4 stars :) Enjoy!

Feel Good Drag- ****

Feel Good Drag- Anberlin

"I'm here for you," she said
and we can stay for awhile,
my boyfriend's gone
we can just pretend.
Lips that need no introduction
Now who's the greater sin
Your drab eyes seem to invite
(tell me darling) Where do we begin.

Was this over before...
before it ever began?
Your kiss, your calls, your crutch
Like the devil's got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your lips, your lies, your lust
Like the devil's in your hands

Everyone in this town
is seeing somebody else
Everybody's tired of someone
our eyes wander for help
Prayers that need no answer now
I'm tired of who I am
You were my greatest mistake
I fell in love with your sin
Your littlest sin

Was this over before...
before it ever began?
Your kiss, your calls, your crutch
Like the devil's got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your lips, your lies, your lust
Like the devil's in your hands

Failure is your disease
You want my outline drawn
You were my greatest failure
Discourse your saving song

Was this over before...
before it ever began?
Your kiss, your calls, your crutch
Like the devil's got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your lips, your lies, your lust
Like the devil's in your hands
