Feels Like This on MTV’s The Hills

Last Friday we got a call from MTV, wanting to license our song Feels Like This for their hit show, The Hills.

Great, no problem… a flurry of last minute paperwork ensued, and that was that. Apparently the show aired last night because we’re getting tons of hits from search engine users looking for “feels like this burst collective” and so forth…

Those of you looking to buy the song or download an mp3 are going to be disappointed currently, as it’s not for sale anywhere… we routinely create full songs as part of our music licensing catalog here at Burst Labs.

But if you’d like to take a listen, without the associated drama of pseudo-reality-tv, here it is for your enjoyment (that’s just how we do things around these parts… unlike Doug Morris and Universal…. maybe we should reconsider and only post the first 90 seconds up here… what do you think?!) :

We’ve even had a few hits from people wanting the lyrics, so here you go :

Feels Like This
written by Daniel Holter & Kyle White

I take two steps forward
I’m jumping the track

break through the barriers
and never come back

Can you believe it’s real, and it feels like this?
Can you believe it’s real, and it would ever feel like this?

It took a week for me
to make a fuss, sound the alarm

I’m where I want to be
dangerous reality

Can you believe it’s real, and it feels like this?
Can you believe it’s real, and it would ever feel like this?
Can you believe it’s real, when it feels a lot like this?
Can you believe it’s real, and it would ever feel like this?

we gotta check the facts
and take another look around
we’ve been chained to the ground

let’s stop and realize
been landlocked and disguised
so book an early morning flight

standing on the tarmac
I want to get my life back
start a different path

set our coordinates
climb aboard my love jet
you and me a silhouette
in the sun

Can you believe it’s real, and it feels like this?
Can you believe it’s real, and it would ever feel like this?
Can you believe it’s real, when it feels a lot like this?
Can you believe it’s real, and it would ever feel like this?

Special thanks to Jack Rodee, the exceptional vocalist on Feels Like This (among others from our catalog… can you guess which ones? He’s a chameleon, so it ain’t an easy task).

And it’s not the first time that MTV has dug our music. Thanks again, guys (Jon Ernst, Scottie Diablo, et al).

As always, more music coming soon… stay tuned. [dh]
