Chicago is a rock band that was formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. In the bands debut, they began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental rock band headed by the three-headed monster of singer/guitarist Terry Kath, singer/bassist Peter Cetera and singer/keyboardist Robert Lamm. The band featured an unusual and unusually versatile line-up of instrumentalists, including saxophonist Walter Parazaider, trombonist James Pankow, and trumpet player Lee Loughnane, along with more traditional rock instruments — guitarist Terry Kath, keyboardist Robert Lamm, drummer Danny Seraphine, and bassist Peter Cetera (who was the last to join the original group). The bands original name was 'The Big Thing', which changed to 'Chicago Transit Authority' when their first album "The Chicago Transit Authority" was released. Soon after the album's release, the band's name was shortened to simply 'Chicago', when the actual Chicago Transit Authority threatened legal action.

Feel Lyrics

Chicago

So everybody's pulling you in all directions
You don't know how much longer to take it
So you've learned how to fake it
That smile on the outside's fading fast
Like the things that you thought for sure would last
But they didn't
You know something's missing
Is it your life you're not living?
[Chorus:]
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, yeah, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late,
Just close your eyes and feel, feel
You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from bad
It's senseless
To waste your senses
Maybe stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Just try it
You just might like it
Aren't you dying to start livin'?
[Chorus]
Every breath that's going thru you
Take each day that's given to you
To love back the ones who love you
[Chorus]
You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from the bad
Feel and stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
You've played the game for long enough, oh, no, no,
Everybody's pulling you in all directions.
