Musicians on “Feel It Inside” are CM Talkington on vocals and acoustic guitar; and Douglas Forrest on guitar, bass, drums and Moog.
CM Talkington is perhaps best known for writing and directing the cult classic western psychedelic road opera Love & A. 45 starring Renée Zellwegger (in her first leading role), Peter Fonda, Rory Cochrane, and Gil Bellows. But he is a musician as well as a filmmaker We had a brief chat with CM about the song.
Americana Highways: You mentioned feeling that you captured the song’s intended “frequency, energy and vibration” in the recording. What elements of the final track made you feel that the music successfully conveyed what you initially envisioned?
CM Talkington: Douglas’ work on the MOOG synthesizer sounds like the Sun making things grow. I also feel that he captured something cosmic & true with my vocals.
AH: You’ve described “Feel It Inside” as being channeled directly from Source through the Sun, and as a call to action. When you’re creating, do you feel you’re consciously shaping a message, or is it more about tuning into something that already exists and letting it come through?
CMT: I always do my best to get out of the way & let it happen.
AH: “Feel It Inside” encourages listeners to reconnect with something deeper within themselves. What do you hope people recognize or reconnect with when they hear the song, and what would you want them to carry with them after listening?
CMT: “All you touch don’t feel./ All you see ain’t real. / All they teach you / I beseech you / Burn it with your fear.” I hope it germinates the Sacred Seed in their hearts. I hope it gives them the courage to look within & live in Truth. It’s a transformation spell. As above so below, as within so without. Let the ‘Revelation Revolution Begin —>”
