It's the 'oooh-oooh-oooh-oohh' refrain that makes that song.

GREAT song, but the video is pretty annoying. The combing is excessive (we get it, it's supposed to be a handicap), and then all the weird product placement. Do they really need Mini, Freixenet and Lavazza to underwrite the cost of this?

No, "Cut the Feeling" -- it was huge on Twitter, I guess, haha (and a great song).

I consider it a lead single, that's how it was treated
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 1 November 2018 21:07 (five years ago) link
good song, but a notch under the Emotion singles, imo. i'm hoping they're just getting her back in the public consciousness and the next one is the real banger.
― alpine static, Thursday, 1 November 2018 21:29 (five years ago) link
Are the 3 or 4 posts upthread on "Cut to the Feeling" the sum total of the discussion that song received here??
Surely not. It came in #3 in last year's Tracks Poll.

I don’t really like this song, but thematically it’s a nice variant on her thing where she makes songs about being right at the beginning of some great transcendent experience, full of anticipation. This time it’s not some budding romance but a withering one and she’s excited to reconnect with herself? I mean I know it’s about lol masturbation but that’s my takeaway.
― crüt, Saturday, 3 November 2018 02:30 (five years ago) link
my favorite part of this song is the "i'm not over you"/"i'm not over this" backing vocal
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Saturday, 3 November 2018 05:05 (five years ago) link
drum solo after "back on my beat" also
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Saturday, 3 November 2018 05:10 (five years ago) link
I appreciate that she actually says "makin' love to myself" rather than some rote euphemism
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Saturday, 3 November 2018 05:14 (five years ago) link
Love her music, but Carly's videos are almost always terrible and this one is no exception. Like, even ignoring the egregious product placement, it just seems like it was conceived by a high school drama class.

but this... is itself a euphemism?
anyway, this song is like 90% of the way to being great and I think I've figured out what the 10% is -- there are some unfortunate things happening with the vocal production on the verses. most apparent on "some-BODy's in your way"
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Sunday, 4 November 2018 21:38 (five years ago) link
How in god's name did "Cry" not make it onto the album proper? (also, did we ever poll the B-sides collection of this album?)
― enochroot, Monday, 24 June 2019 12:27 (four years ago) link
Yeah "Cry" is the standout from Side B by far
I don't think I voted in this poll because I got on the CRJ train a little late but "Never Get to Hold You" is what I would vote for now. That song sounds like the warmest hug
