God, I love the 80s music! I mean, the songs actually said something to you. This amazing cut by former Slave lead singer Steve Arrington was one of those songs. Steve had an unique voices you just don’t find in today’s assembly line rnb voices. Feels So Real was a testimony of Steve’s spiritual change after leaving Slave. But he took that phat Slave sound with him and the song came out as funky as ever. FSR has one those unstoppable grooves and as I said its got that Higher Power element which makes it near divine.
When I used to drive around just enjoying the breeze and crazy people, Feel So Real caught my attention and I sang along cause its nothing like being and feeling real. I’m testifying too, cause Im feeling pretty real right now myself! Hey, come on and get your “real” on!

Feel – feel – feel -I feel so real
I feel so real
I feel so real and I owe it all to you.
Oh
I feel so nice with you here by my side.
If I just do the best
that I can do it seems that’s enough for you.
The little things mean so much
a smile or a joyful touch
That push that keeps me going strong to know that I belong
and I feel so real
I feel so real
. . .
Love is such a wonderful thing
the angels sing and freedom reigns
Freedom from the chains that hold us back from harmony.
I’m right here on my knees to thank you
for the air that I breath.
I thank you for the life that you have saved
That’s why I’ve got to say:
Feel so real
I feel so real
. . .
Feel so real
feel so real
feel so real
Feel so real
feel so real
feel so real.
