| Song |
"I Feel It All" is the third (and presumably last) single off Feist's latest album, The Reminder.
This is what The New Yorker said about the song:
"I Feel It All,” one of the album’s best songs—like “Mushaboom,” it was written without a collaborator—skips along while Feist describes feelings that she can’t control: “I didn’t rest, I didn’t stop. Did we fight or did we talk?” The song is built around Feist’s vigorous acoustic-guitar strum: she plays like a street busker, strong on the downstroke and evenly loud. A three-note motif on a glockenspiel and an organ runs through the song, softening the forward motion of the guitar. In a short chorus, the guitar stops and Feist sings harmony with herself: “Ooh, I’ll be the one who’ll break my heart, I’ll be the one to hold the gun.” Then Gonzales plays a rising and falling two-note ostinato on the piano, subtly coloring the song. The accretion of felicitous musical details is typical of the album’s smart, unfussy arrangements."

Music Video
The video begins with Feist dancing in a place with cans, and the lights constantly turn on and off. During the few moments of light Feist is hitting the cans with a stick, enabling the "fireworks" to light up. In turn, all the other cans light up, and firework shoot onto the sky. For most of the rest of the video, Feist is seen dancing all around the lights produced by the fireworks, which no longer need to be hit to spark. Like in her previous video, the sounds in this video are not muted--the sounds of the fireworks cracking are perfectly audible. The video ends with an outburst of fog, and possibly with Feist drowning in a pond or lake.
