IVERSON On The Wild Abandon Of Love-Intoxication, Mind-Altering Lust, And Intimate Vulnerability
How Does It Make U Feel, the latest single from the Chicago-based alt-pop trio IVERSON, would have undoubtedly been a massive hit in 1991. From the spring-loaded guitar licks and the booming trashcan drum break, to the shamelessly bombastic key-change and a pristine horn section that rivals anything found on the charts of the era, How Does It Make U Feel channels a timeless and electrifying energy with playfully enticing charm.
Though embellished with all the most lavish adornments of the standard love- and lust-based pop slammers of the 80’s and 90’s, How Does It Make U Feel confidently achieves its singularity and modernity through beautifully complex, enveloping layers of crystalline synthesizers and notably grittier and more chaotic production than what one may expect from the typical, danceable love song fare.
Amidst the blinding brilliance of these textures and the progressively reckless vocal performance culminating in the wildly fun, cathartic and highly-danceable outro, IVERSON’s How Does It Make U Feel encapsulates the vulnerability, wild abandon and sometimes psychedelic intoxication of love and lust.
lyrics
I'm fucked up on loving you
One hit to the brain and I'm seeing things
Heartbeats in a dark cage
I'm looking up into the void, I can see your face
All I can say is I'm obsessed
Your blood is in my veins
I must confess that I've done some bad things
But, nevertheless, I need you to hold me
And look me in the eyes and tell me
Go on
How does it make you feel?
Being in love; say it
How do you know it's real?
If all that we are is water and blood
I don't ask for much
All I wanna know is, baby, how does it make you feel?
Your heart melts on a wet tongue
A dark wave stealing the breath of the holy one
Don't stop 'til you see god
Look upon her face and tell her who you've come for, baby
All I can say is I'm obsessed
Your blood is in my veins
I must confess that I've done some bad things
But, nevertheless, I need you to hold me
And look me in the eyes and tell me
Come on
How does it make you feel?
Being in love; say it
How do you know it's real?
If all that we are is water and blood
I don't ask for much
All I wanna know is, baby, how does it make you feel?
