Back before moving closer to my family in New York, I was in a jam-band called Feel It during my last years in Ohio. It actually wasn’t technically a jam-band, we just played in my pal’s basement with about $200 worth in musical equipment — which was abundently EVERYWHERE — and made and recorded just noise. Whether it was rock and roll that just recorded into noise or just straight sounds blending together, it was a wonderful time for me. And each release was named accordingly: Y’all Got Bats With…, Two Days in Paradise With…, Come And…… Feel It.
This week, my home-girl Joan LeMay hit me with Anders Parker’s newest video for “Feel It” (created by Myles David Jewel, who also did the There’s A Blue Bird In My Heart LP “advert”) and it’s perfectly nostolgic for me to close this week with it. Been tough here figuring it all out [yadda, yadda], and Anders Parker’s single “Feel It” really brings me back to ME. It’s not about the interaction of everything else, but everything happening within one’s self. Doesn’t matter HOW you present yourself to someone; they’ll judge you either way, right? So open yourself up and “Feel It.” Ahh, and the animation is just so spectacular that I think I want a montage of my life up to this point in the same imagery!
I going up to Boston this weekend with my fiancee, and “Feel It” will definitely be put on our travel mix. And darn it, not only will we memorize the lyrics, but we’ll both try to see how similar we can sound to Anders Parker’s voice. Enjoy the weekend, y’all. But most importantly: “Feel It!”
There’s A Blue Bird In My Heart by Anders Parker is out NOW NOW on Recorded & Freed Records.
