Man that scene from The Five Heartbeats where they perform "I Feel Like Going On" gets me every time. The song is performed by the fictional group The Five Heartbeats but the vocals were done by the mighty D'Angelo. The song is a beautiful blend of gospel and raw R&B. D’Angelo’s soulful yet gritty vocals are incredibly emotional and bring so much depth to the song. It is one of those scenes where the music is even better than the movie. The song brings so much more emotion to the scene of the characters’ struggles and triumphs.

Years later, I stumbled upon a live cover of this song performed by a local choir. Unfortunately, it didn’t have the same effect. There was something special about D’Angelo’s rendition of “I Feel Like Going On”. The way he would bend notes and the raspy quality of his voice when he hit the high notes of the chorus specifically. This soundtrack needs more love, it’s a treasure trove for fans of 90s soul.

This song was featured in a late-night movie I watched recently. The song is called “I Feel Like Going On” by D’Angelo. He has such a unique voice – it’s so smooth but urgent at the same time. It’s as if he’s preaching to us from the pulpit. The song mirrors the movie plot in a really interesting way. The fictional journey of The Five Heartbeats is really embodied in the songs. And the way that D’Angelo sings “I Feel Like Going On” is so powerful and makes the song so much more real. I later went back to listen to D’Angelo’s album “Brown Sugar” – the song that really launched the neo-soul movement. D’Angelo’s voice is so powerful that I’d even buy a broken piano from him.

The other night I rewatched The Five Heartbeats. “I Feel Like Going On” is still one of the saddest songs ever to me. The vocals by D’Angelo are incredible. Every growl and every upper register note sounds so intentional. The placement of the song in the film during Eddie’s redemption was so powerful. The soundtrack to the film is great and I researched it after watching. Apparently D’Angelo did the vocals for this song in one take. That makes sense because it sounds like he’s expelling demons with each note. That song and so many others by D’Angelo make me wonder why he hasn’t done more soundtrack work.

A hidden gem of a song – so much emotion in this one, it even rivals the movie at times. This song is retro-soul blended with a very 90s edge that really complements the Five Heartbeats’ shtick. Attempting to karaoké this track a long while back was an embarrassing failure on my part. The vocal acrobatics in this song are not to be underestimated by anyone.

What is the meaning behind the song Heartbeats?

9 Answers2026-04-09

This song is a memory. Fuzzy. Emotional. Some parts really clear. Other parts fuzzy. That’s what this song means. Memory. We edit our memories of pain and joy to make a story. Heartbeats are the parts of memory that we remember. One night is a period of time in our life that we can sum up in one night/symbolic moment. We follow the glow of nostalgia even though it can be a painful feast. The song is basically about memory and how we can distort our memories to make them more beautiful in retrospect.

How to sing Johnny Johnny like a pro?

4 Answers2026-06-07

Singing ‘Johnny Johnny’ is 90% commitment. Do it fully as a method actor – imagine jam on your cheeks. ‘Yes, Papa?’ needs to be innocent and shaky. The denials should be less and less believable. After ‘sugar’ throw in a fake cough. If you’re performing live to people, point at random members of the audience during ‘No, Papa’ to get them on board. Just a heads up – once you’re able to sing ‘Johnny Johnny’ well enough, you’ll be singing it at every function for the rest of your life. Worth it.

How does 'Five Survive' end?

11 Answers2025-06-25

I have to admit, I kind of skimmed the last few chapters of the book because it was getting to be so tense and I needed to be able to read it after my heart rate returned to normal. Re-reading everything after I had calmed down was really interesting because I was able to pick up on so many little things that I had missed the first time. The look Sunny gave Red, the way Maddy was holding her dead phone, the exact words that Dobbs had confessed with… it was all just so phenomenal. The first time through the book was for panic, the second time through was for heartbreak. The author did such a great job with the last few chapters of the book. Every line served a purpose of advancing the story and character’s tragedy.

What is The Heartbeat Library book about?

2 Answers2026-02-13

There’s a really imaginative idea for a story about a library that contains more than just books that tell stories. ‘The Heartbeat Library’ is a quiet, imaginative story about a quiet librarian called Haru. He notices that old books are vibrating on the shelves. He discovers that they contain the heartbeats of readers who have experienced strong emotions while reading the books. There’s a strong focus on the idea of the books bringing back memories of the past for the townspeople. It’s really an intimate and powerful mosaic of the past of the people in the town. I was particularly affected by a scene where a teenager hears the heartbeat of her recently deceased mother in a cookbook. The story is less about the mechanics of how this fantasy works and more about how we imprint ourselves on things we love. I found myself wondering whether my dog-eared copy of ‘Anne of Green Gables’ contained the imprint of my 12-year-old self’s feelings of adoration for Gilbert Blythe.

what does a creampie feel like

9 Answers2026-07-26

I have to credit the paranormal romance novels for a really good example of this. A scene or two ago, in the paranormal romance I’m reading, the author had described the transfer of energy between the main character and another magical being not in terms of physical sensation but rather as a metaphysical transfer of sorts. It described a surge of energy, a blinding light, and the connecting of two souls. It was really beautifully done and worked well for the world that the author had created. Genre fiction of this sort relies so heavily on the “feel” of a scene to make it work, and that “feel” can often be literal magic. How a scene of connect/transfer is described in a sci-fi work would depend on the particular universe of the characters and the rules that the author has established for said universe. That connection/transfer could be described with cold, hard bio-feedback readings or with the connections of a neural link syncing up.

Does 'Carry On' have LGBTQ+ representation?

10 Answers2026-07-27

This physical relationship is written with a great balance of tension and tenderness. Every touch (a hand on a shoulder, sharing a bed, desperate kissing) is charged with history and emotion between the two characters. There is also desire and physical attraction to each other, written in a way that is appropriate for YA readers and further defines the two characters in relation to each other. It’s not gratuitous sex. Instead, it naturally occurs as Simon and Baz grow closer. The two are shown as desirable queer teenagers, without being fetishized. This is so very important to represent in YA and ‘Carry On’ does it so very well. They are simply a normal part of a romantic relationship.

Who are the main characters in Any Human Heart?

9 Answers2025-12-24

Just finished this and I have to say the only thing I remember is the feeling of reading another person’s life and how that life had all the ups and downs that any other person’s would. As for a list of characters: Freya is a dream that he once had. Lottie is a chair that he sat in for years and became very comfortable in. Stella is a brief, but very warm patch of sun. Peter Scabius is a annoying pebble in his shoe that he can never seem to shake out of. They are all important in their own right, but none as important as the book is set within the confines of one man’s mind. So even though historical events are going on all around him, they are basically background noise to the main event which is Logan’s life. What is most interesting is that there are really three main characters and they are all versions of one man at different stages of his life: his youth, his middle age and his old age. All three are named Logan.

Which soundtrack artists contributed to one two three music?

8 Answers2025-10-22

Short take: We’ve got to be precise as to which “One Two Three” we’re talking about. For Soundtrack projects, it typically lists all the different people that contributed to it (composers, performers, arrangers, producers and even orchestras and choirs). You’d typically find the full credits for a soundtrack in the on-screen film credits, in the liner notes of a CD/vinyl, or in the credits section of a streaming service. As for commercial soundtrack albums, the individual track credits for those are typically listed on Discogs and MusicBrainz. For films and TV, the composer and other members of the music department are listed on IMDb and AllMusic. This kind of research is so much fun for me. Every so often, I’ll stumble upon an obscure guitarist or arranger. Their contribution to the piece totally transforms how I perceive it. So, look up those credits. There’s hours of fun for you in there discovering even more great musicians that you wouldn’t have known about otherwise.

Who sings the original version of 'Riders on the Storm'?

1 Answers2026-04-22

The original version of 'Riders on the Storm' was performed by The Doors, one of the most iconic rock bands of the 1960s and 70s. Jim Morrison's haunting vocals, combined with Ray Manzarek's hypnotic keyboard work and the band's moody instrumentation, created this timeless classic. It's the final track on their 1971 album 'L.A. Woman,' and it perfectly encapsulates their signature blend of psychedelic rock, blues, and dark, poetic lyricism. There's something so eerie yet captivating about the way the rain sounds and the whispered vocals weave into the mix—it feels like you're driving through a stormy night, lost in thought. I first heard this song in my dad's vinyl collection, and it immediately stuck with me. The Doors had this uncanny ability to create music that was both deeply atmospheric and emotionally raw. 'Riders on the Storm' isn't just a song; it's an experience. Over the years, it's been covered and sampled by various artists, but nothing quite captures the original's brooding magic. Every time I listen to it, I notice something new—whether it's the subtle guitar licks or the way Morrison's voice seems to echo like a ghost. It's one of those tracks that never gets old, no matter how many times you play it.
