Lord It's A Feeling - goddard. Extended Remix

In "Lord It's a Feeling," London Grammar vocalist Hannah Reid assumes the role of a discerning observer who is anything but impartial. She exposes the transgressions of a heartless and unfaithful lover of a friend, unveiling his callous acts with lines like, "I saw the way you laughed behind her back." However, the narrative takes an unexpected turn as Reid fearlessly admits, "I can admit that I have been right here myself." The once-detached observer now assumes the role of an accuser, demanding accountability.

The lyrics paint Hannah Reid's heartbreak when witnessing her friends trapped in suffocating toxic relationships. "I saw it too many times and do get very affected," Reid told NME. "I think I am a bit of an empath and I obviously have had experiences like that myself as well."

"Lord It's A Feeling" marks a milestone for London Grammar as they introduce their first curse word in a song. "I think when I say that word you can hear that I'm a bit, 'Should I be saying that?' But I did. I did say it. It's there," Reid jokes over Zoom to Billboard from her home in London. "When I'm speaking it probably just sounds like the Queen swearing. It just came out and if it comes out in the writing process, then I'm going to keep it. You can't censor yourself in art."
