The Feeling – Strange
As I often do, I clicked on a “what’s related” link on YouTube, and then another, and another, and eventually arrived at a video for a song called Strange, by a band called The Feeling. Or maybe that’s the other way around? Anyways, it was a unique video, I rather enjoyed the song, and I thought it was worth saving for posterity.
Don’t you dig this life
They call the meek
You whose feet are on the ground
And if you get too high
What goes around comes around
And brings you down
‘Cause people gonna see you
How they wanna see you
People gonna rate you
People gonna hate you
People gonna shove you
People gonna love you
People gonna do whatever
Makes them feel they own you better
‘Cause everyone knows we’re strange
(Ahh)
So why do you feel ashamed
(Ohh) Baby
Everyone knows we’re different
(Ahh)
So why do you feel ashamed
We love you all the same
That’s right
‘Cause if you feel it
And if you mean it
Don’t apologise
And you’ll be just fine
Cause all they ever need is what you give them
They only put you down if you give them permission
People gonna see you
How they wanna see you
People gonna rate you
People gonna hate you
People gonna shove you
People gonna love you
People gonna do whatever
Makes them feel they own you better
Yeah everyone knows we’re strange
(Ahh)
So why do you feel ashamed
(Ohh) Baby
Everyone knows we’re different
(Ahh)
So why do you feel ashamed
(Ohh)
We love you all the same yeah
We love you all the same yeah
We love you all the same
So don’t you ever change
You’re undernourished, and un-encouraged
And under-rated, and unappreciated.
The world is turning in a different direction to us
And just look how far you’ve come
Considering all of the pushing and spitting and stuff
Yeah everyone knows we’re strange
(Ahh)
So why do you feel ashamed
(Ohh) Baby
Everyone knows we’re different
(Ahh)
So why do you feel ashamed
We love you all the same yeah
Yes we love you, yes we love you
All the same
(Ohh)
All the same
(Ohh)
Yes we love you, yes we love you
All the same
(Ohh)
Don’t ever change
(Ohh)
