#Feel it still

[ct-multifandom]

In the hit indie rock song Feel It Still by Portugal. The Man, the lead singer says he’s a rebel just for kicks and that he’s been feelin’ it since 1966. He also says, “let me kick it like it’s 1986”.

What’s interesting is that a lesser known song from the band, 1989, opens with the lyrics, “I was born in 1989”.

If the lead singer and credited writer of that song was born in 1989, how was he kickin it in 1986, much less feelin it in 1966?!

Not so fast, Wright. A simple Wikipedia search reveals that the singer, John Gourley, was born in 1981, so the song 1989 clearly isn’t meant to be autobiographical.

That still doesn’t explain the line about 1966, and how much of a rebel could he have possibly been at the age of five? I don’t know about him, but I barely remember anything from that age anyway!

Take a look at the Genius Lyrics & Meaning YouTube video for Feel It Still. The band members explain that 1966 refers to the period of civil rights activism, comparing their rebellion to modern social tensions. On top of that, they explain that 1986 is in reference to the song Fight For Your Right (To Party) by Beastie Boys.

All quite simple, Wright. I’m afraid you’ve taken things at too much of a face value, as usual.

Urghh… [Edgeworth has a point… even though Portugal. The Man wasn’t alive for the civil rights movement and were little kids during Beastie Boy’s rise to fame, they still feel how the effects of the past live on in the present, inspiring them to feel rebellious. They… Feel It Still. I can’t believe I missed such an obvious clue.]

Okay, so it’s all metaphorical, but- but all that aside! The prosecution has still failed to explain what drove Mr. Gourley to lie about being born in 1989!

Jake arrives at the Hard Deck before the events of TGM ready to prove his worth as one of the best aviators in the Navy. But then a blast from the past, his ex Bradley Bradshaw, walks through the door and Jake is forced to deal with all of the hurt and resentment that has been simmering for two years. The weirdest thing is happening, though - the other aviators seem to think that they're still dating. At first, Jake tries to deny it, but no one believes him and eventually it's too much hassle to fight the accusations. But he's still rightfully angry at Bradley for how their relationship ended, even if he won't deny that he still has feelings for him.

Does Jake even want to take another shot at romance with Bradley?

Give in to that easy living Goodbye to my hopes and dreams

Stop flipping for my enemies

We could wait until the walls come down

Lyrics:

Can't keep my hands to myself

Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf

In case my little baby girl is in need

Am I coming out of left field?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

I been feeling it since 1966, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

Let me kick it like it's 1986, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still

Got another mouth to feed

Leave her with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger

Gone with the fallen leaves

Am I coming out of left field?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

I been feeling it since 1966, now

Might've had your fill, but you feel it still

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

Let me kick it like it's 1986, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still

We could fight a war for peace

(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)

Give in to that easy living

Goodbye to my hopes and dreams

Stop flipping for my enemies

We could wait until the walls come down

(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)

It's time to give a little to the

Kids in the middle, but oh 'til it falls

Won't bother me

Is it coming?

Is it coming?

Is it coming?

Is it coming?

Is it coming?

Is it coming back?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah

Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still

Might be over now, but I feel it still

Might've had your fill, but you feel it still
