I accused Howard of falling in love with the original demo sound; a condition called 'demoitis.' A 30-minute discussion followed, where said producer reiterated his belief the song could be a single. And though I don't disagree, the legacy of SP is to make adaptations of different styles that in their hybridity create singularity. Where I've failed at that (often) sit as odd blights, and where I've succeeded at that (enough), tower epics. Sounds grand, eh?
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And everywhere I go it's shining bright
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
Love can dust you easy as you know
And dust must make you feel slow
'Cause when you shake what's pleasing then you'll go
I know, I know you'll go
Lover you're strange
Lover you're strange
Lover you're strange to me
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And everywhere I go it's shining bright
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
Vespers in the evening of your soul
And whispers carry as they're sewn
And dulled by every feeling that I've known [written: that I know]
Take hold, babe, take hold
Lover you're strange
Lover you're strange
Lover you're strange to me
And what do you want me to do?
It's all gone mad
And what do you want me to say?
I'm lost like you
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And everywhere I go it's shining bright
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And everywhere I go it's shining bright
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
