“The Way You Make Me Feel“ by RISE

“The Way You Make Me Feel” by RISE is a pop rock track with alternative elements and unique sonic textures that immediately grab your attention and don’t let it go. RISE is an England based band made up of Alex Mahoney on drums, Brian Petch on guitars, and Paul Kinley on synthesisers. For many of their tracks, including this one, RISE has collaborated with stayMellow (Sam Kinley) on vocals and bass. “The Way You Make Me Feel” has a fluid and cohesive arrangement that showcases these artists’ impressive chemistry and clear artistic vision.

Heavy drums, whining electric guitars, and melodic instrumental riffs introduce you to the dense and captivating sonic landscape, quickly matched by the impassioned vocal performance and compelling narrative. The opening line, “you smile and life’s okay” is a sweet and straightforward representation of this track’s themes. Through every up and down in a relationship, and every challenge in your personal life, committing to working through it all with your partner is one of the best ways to feel satisfied. With lines like “I’m lost, you show the way,” RISE clearly believes that you can find a way, no matter what, as long as you trust in your love.

In the atmospheric bridge, the drums drop out and interesting ambience dances across the arrangement. The floating landscape then bluntly drops into an electric guitar riff that is immensely satisfying, building and building into a final chorus that takes the energy to a whole new level. The belted, long held melodies in the chorus match the narrator’s admirable passion for his love.
