Melissa Lusk: Feeling Of

Written by Mary Birnbaum

Director

In category: Song of the Day

Published June 9, 2017

What a week this has been! There are so many fantastic songs out there that it was hard to pick just one a day. Thank you NYFOS for asking me to play this really fun game. Today’s selection is “Feeling Of”, written (and performed) by the super talented Melissa Lusk for her band BOY GIRL PARTY. Melissa is a frequent collaborator of mine, and this particular song was written for a show we did together 5 years ago by Chris Pena called “things i found on craigslist…” In the context of the show it carried dramatic weight, but outside of the show it’s a ditty about a time when relationships were fresh- very Empire Records. Melissa’s voice is so unique and beautiful. I hope you enjoy!
