RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 29
(I Want To) Feel It All
(I Want To) Feel It All is a truthful and stirring indie ballad from Australian band, The Wattles. This track swiftly follows their recent release Take It Or Leave It, both from the bands upcoming Fooled EP.
True to The Wattles’ climatic indie rock songwriting style, (I Want To) Feel It All begins slow and restrained and builds into something much more powerful and memorable.
Similar to their 2022 hit, The Wrong Idea, this song is another honest self-reflection from the bands lead singer Lucy Murray. When commenting on the lyrics, she said,
“For a long time I’ve felt like a failure for my inability to sit still, but in recent years I’ve been actively learning to love all of my quirks and wirings and to ultimately give power to these.
“This song helped me solidify that I am proud of my inherent desire to change and put myself out there - to really feel all the things. Despite the inevitable falls that come with this.
“If you’re restless like me, I hope this song speaks to you. If you’re feeling lost and stagnant, I hope it speaks to you too.”
LYRICS
They wake up the same every single day
I want to change I’d hate to always stay the same
Bland taste and hours fading
I want to feel it all
I want to feel it all
And though it burns
I need to try it all myself
Moments and light, fast talking, colours seeping through
It’s not that I’m running I just get bored easily now
I want to feel it all
I want to feel it all
I don’t want to coast
I don’t want to plateau
I want to feel it all
I want to feel it all
Stagnancy breaks my mould
I’ve been lost but never cold
I want to feel it all
I want to feel it all
People warm and I self-restore
The present feels right I hate foresight
Hollow displays push me further away
And I can’t be tied down no more
