Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Feel Good Drag. By Songfacts®.

This track was originally included on Anberlin's 2005 breakout album Never Take Friendship Personal. In 2008 the Florida-based quintet re-recorded the track for their New Surrender set. Vocalist Stephen Christian explained this was because the tune "was at the end of one of the records we put out 3 years ago and we never ever thought it got the shot it deserved."

The Music Scene Today asked Christian how the revamped version differs from the original one. He replied: "The guitars are just thick and heavy and just dirty and huge. Vocally, we took a minimalist approach. Almost like punk rock, you know? Just like a raspy and intense passion instead of clean auto-tune. It's not clean anymore. It's a very dirty song."

Christian told Artist Direct the story behind this song: "The whole underlying theme is talking about going into a relationship that you know is destined to fail. It talks about lies and crush that allow you to go into that relationship but in the back of your head. It's kind of like cheating, like she's dating someone else or you're naïve to how something works. With naivety you just get sucked in. That's the song. There's that underlying story—just being a nice character walking into a relationship."
