"Feel" is a song by British singer-songwriter Robbie Williams. it basically shows a western/countryside love affair set around Horse Riding and freedom. The video shows Williams in a cowboy-like lifestyle. It gained some attention in the United States thanks to Daryl Hannah's appearance as Williams' love interest. There were two versions of the same video, one shot in black and white and the other in colour.
"Feel" was written by Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers. According to Williams, most of the vocals are from the original demo recording, as he felt unsatisfied with the re-recorded vocals. He commented, "I just couldn't sing it as well as I did on that day."

 Guy admitted that initially he was quite scared by its lyrics. "Because it is honest," he said. "It's deep - it's a deep lyric. I think it's one of his best lyrics." 
Williams said; "It's a beautiful song. Most of the vocal we used on the finished thing is from original demo. I tried to sing it again and I just couldn't sing it as well as I did on that day. I pour my heart out.

 It was released on December 2, 2002 as the lead single from his fifth studio album,Escapology. The song became an international hit, reaching the top of the charts in Austria, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, and top five positions in countries such as Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
The song was aimed to become the Christmas number-one in the United Kingdom, but peaked at #4. It still spent four weeks inside the Top 10, however, "Feel" became Williams' biggest international hit and his best selling single in Europe: the song topped the charts in Argentina, Hungary,Italy, India, Latvia, Portugal, Mexico and the Netherlands. The song was also successful in Canada, where it reached #10 and spent a total of 54 weeks in the chart. Despite Williams' major success in the most of the world, "Feel" failed to reach Billboard's Hot 100 in the USA. To date Feel sold 245,000 copies in the UK.

I chose to research this song as it was a song that came out in my childhood and I listened to it often, its very different compared to some of the songs I have researched such as Rihanna and Coldplays "Princess of China" which used more editing and the use of a studio to create the music, whereas this song used proper instruments, so i thought it would be good to compare the differences, this song is much slower and seems more natural, the video isn't as quick moving as others viewed and I lie the fact it isn't too hurtful on the eyes.The colours in the video are also vastly darker than the newer types of videos and I think more effort was made into making the video beautiful and to get it to a higher standard.
