A humbling and intimate depiction of yearning for a love’s renewal, “Feel It Again” is a resonating new single from Matt Saxton, a singer-songwriter based in East Sussex, UK. Consistently showcasing quality songwriting on previous efforts like “Take It Or Leave It” and “The Edge of Things,” Saxton again enamors with “Feel It Again.” He describes the track as “about how a weekend away by the sea reset and rescued a long-term relationship.” Lush acoustics and gentle piano propel warmly alongside Saxton’s comforting, introspective vocal presence.
Seagulls and a pulsing piano lead into Saxton’s scene-setting: “The day was cold, but the sky was bright.” Infusions of acoustic guitars and steady percussion bolster the heartfelt vocals and lyricism, which admit to not having “the answers but I know I feel it again.” The tender illustrations of a relationship, seemingly at a crossroads though with a hopeful rekindling, remind fondly of Neil Hannon in its vocal tone and narrative-forward artfulness. Discovering “the key to carry on,” is equated with falling back in love, and delivered with authenticity and heartrending hope. “Feel It Again” is another songwriting success from Matt Saxton.
