Feels Like Christmas
Encyclopedia
"Feels Like Christmas" is the tenth single released by the soft rock/pop group The Feeling
as a one-off promotional single before the Christmas chart. It was released as a download-only single on 15 December 2008. The song was originally written by lead singer Dan Gillespie Sells
several years before on his piano. He said on the band's official website: "I'm the opposite of the 'Bah Humbug' Christmas grump. I've always loved Christmas and the surrounding hullabaloo - especially the songs from Bing to Slade
to Wizzard
to Bing
and Bowie
. I wrote and recorded this one several years ago on the piano, but never intended it to be released so I kept it a secret. We added the drums and strings this year and then we thought it might be a good time to let people hear it to see what they thought!"
"Feels Like Christmas", perhaps because of its limited promotional release, only made it to #139 in the UK Singles Chart
