Records a tale of woe with the Brazilian gal from Nouvelle Vague, Karina Zeviani…
It ain’t the voice of an angel. And the acoustic intro with bongo drums, droopy finger bass and the lil squeak box is a little too… backpacker beach party.
But this song from Kelly Slater, it takes y’some place. A place where cynicism ain’t welcome. A place where you hypnotise your gal with love and before you know it you’re flopping the ol hoagie in her face.
Sing along!
FEELIN’ THE FEELINGS
Breaking down
Paralysed
The thought of losing you
Oh what a mess I’ve made
Of my life
Terrified
To see what I’m standing in
Know this is you wishin’
You know that I
I’m feelin’ the feelings again
You know that I
I’m feelin’ the feelings again
How could I
Justify
The way that I treated you
Is there nothing that I can do
To make things right
In our lives
I’m down on my luck again
And oh what a fool I’ve been
To know that I
I’m feelin’ the feelings again
To know that I
I’m feelin’ the feelings again
(Karina swings in here. Portuguese! BeachGrit is worldly but we ain’t got the language of samba!)
You know that I
I’m feelin’ the feelings again’
You know now I
I’m feelin’ the feelings again
fade out…
Editor’s note: The lyrics were written in 1995 after Kelly stole the world title out of Rob Machado’s trembling hands. A song of forgiveness-begged, of love lost.

Do I have to spend my entire life embarrassed to be a surfer?
Yes. Surfing is like that acquaintance everyone has who still wears a fedora and will wax poetic about Sufjan Stevens.
