About The Song
Ah, summertime. The fireflies flicker in the warm evening air, crickets chirp a gentle melody, and sweet tea steams on the porch swing. It’s a time for front porch pickin’ and singin’ along to some good ole country tunes. And when it comes to classic country duets, there’s no pair quite like Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. Their chemistry was undeniable, their voices blended like aged whiskey and honey, and their songs captured the raw emotions of love, loss, and everything in between.
Today, we’re gonna take a trip down memory lane with a true country duet gem: Feelins by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. Released in 1975, Feelins wasn’t just the title track of their fifth collaborative album, it became an anthem for couples young and old, reminding us all about the power of those deep, unspoken emotions that simmer beneath the surface.
Loretta Lynn, the “Coal Miner’s Daughter” herself, was known for her strong voice and her relatable lyrics that spoke to the everyday experiences of women. Conway Twitty, the smooth baritone with a heart of gold, brought a touch of tenderness and vulnerability to their duets. Together, they were a force to be reckoned with, weaving tales of love, heartache, and the complexities of relationships.
Feelins is no exception. The song opens with a simple guitar lick, setting the stage for a conversation between two lovers. Loretta takes the lead, her voice laced with a hint of suspicion, asking, “Is there somethin’ on your mind, honey?” Conway responds with a hesitant “Nothin’ much,” but the listener knows there’s more to the story. As the song progresses, their voices intertwine, revealing a tapestry of unspoken emotions – a longing for connection, a fear of vulnerability, and the hope that their love can weather any storm.
Feelins is a timeless classic, a song that resonates with anyone who has ever been in love. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most powerful emotions are the ones we leave unsaid, and that true connection can be found in the quiet spaces between the words. So, settle back, pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, and let Feelins transport you back to a simpler time, when country music spoke to the soul and Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn ruled the airwaves.
