Best Tracks: The Preatures "Is This How You Feel?"

Formerly The Preachers, Sydney-based The Preatures have got it going on. This August they released Is This How You Feel? EP to a mass of critical acclaim and we're here to heap on some more, by declaring the title-track, "Is This How You Feel?," one of the best new tracks.

"Is This How You Feel?" is pure 1970's pop, which is to say it sounds like a Fleetwood Mac song. Vocalist Isabella Manfredi does her best indie-Stevie Nicks impersonation, and it is her voice that ends up standing out on this track. "Is This How You Feel?" soars and breaks with the turn of Manfredi's voice, while male vocalist Gideon's parts just feel like filler by comparison. The track is as upbeat and groovy as a mid-tempo rock song can be. It's the type of tune that you start humming out of the blue even though you haven't listened to it in months. It's infectious and familiar. Hear it for yourself below and see if you don't feel all warm and cuddly afterwards.

Thanks for stopping by BitCandy, here's the lyrics to The Preatures Is This How You Feel?

Bright lights, Feel alright
I’m gonna see her again tonight.
And now you’ve got me started
I’m gonna shake it right tonight.

But then I see you and
I wanna go where the beach is warm
And I won’t get stung
And I won’t get stormed by
memories of you

Baby, is this how you feel?
I wanna know, wanna know
Is this how you feel?

In each of us there are always these two
The one who stays, the one who’s leaving you
I could keep on with the same mistakes
Or I could make them with you

There’s some lead in my feet now
There’s a little of me but I don’t know where
I’m too young to quit now
I’m too young to quit but I gotta get clean
Is it real for you like it’s real for me
I’ve been walking in suburbia
Just looking for you

Baby, is this how you feel?
I wanna know, wanna know
Is this how you feel?

And I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna
Wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna
And I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna
Wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna

I move up, it’s called awake
And then down to the heavy nights
But never forward

Baby, is this how you feel?
I wanna know, wanna know
Is this how you feel?
I wanna know, wanna know
Is this how you feel?
Is this how you feel
Is this how you feel baby
Is this how you feel
Is this how you feel baby…
