about

Channeling upbeat psychedelia, the sonically adventurous and guitar-infused indie-pop song For A Feeling juxtaposes Mother Teresa and Inspector Gadget in lyrics sung over fast drums and a trippy outro. Having returned to his home state of California to work in LA as a producer, Santos deconstructs the quest for stardom in an extroverted account of the Hollywood experience. He dons a Wolf mask for the cover art and visuals to represent transformation and role reversals.

(lyrics)

On a sunkissed candy dessert
There was once a salty ocean
With a broken wing
We came to these shores on a prayer

What better way to lose yourself for a feeling
Something that you can really
Touch and you'll believe it
Believe me
Holy cow there's better ways to lose yourself
Don't give it away
Thirstin' and mobbin' for admiration
Time immortal running out of patience

Mother Teresa kicked the Habit
Got more tricks than Inspector Gadget
Then prayed for our souls
So she'd be famous
They got ways to make you talk
In a discotheque one day you'll shoot your shot
Don't be famous

What better way to lose yourself for a feeling
Something that you can really
Touch and you'll believe it
Believe me
Holy cow there's better ways to lose yourself
Don't give it away
Thirstin' and mobbin' for admiration
Time immortal running out of patience

They got ways to make you talk
In a discotheque one day you'll shoot your shot
For a feeling
