All The "Feels", Vol. 1

There's a lot of talk about "Feels" these days. In case you're not familiar with the term, an Urban Dictionary user defines "feels" (or specifically, "the feels") as "a wave of emotions that sometimes cannot be adequately explained." That suits this set of songs – and the three sets that will follow it in the next few days – to a T. True, these songs have but one thing in common – the word "Feels" in their titles – but the emotions conveyed throughout them truly run the gamut. So, don't be afraid to catch "feels"...and enjoy!  ~  JH
