Feelings (Morris Albert song)

Common card · No. 327535

"Feelings" is a song by the Brazilian singer Morris Albert, Mauricio Alberto Kaisermann's stage name, who also wrote the lyrics. It was released in June 1974 on Albert's debut album After We've Left Each Other. The song's lyrics, recognizable by the "whoa whoa whoa" chorus, concern the singer's inability to "forget [his] feelings of love". Albert's song was hugely successful, performing very well internationally. The lyrics, which discuss the end of a romantic relationship, were inspired by a public figure from Rio de Janeiro with whom the musician had a platonically romantic relationship. In the original version, the instrumental track was recorded by the studio group Os Carbonos, who also provided the backing vocals. Its success in Brazil came after the song was included on the soundtrack of the telenovela Corrida do Ouro ("Gold Rush") in 1974. In the country, the single sold approximately 300,000 copies and reached number one on the Grande Parada Brasil chart, published by Amiga magazine...
