How Does It Feel (Slade song)

"How Does It Feel" is a single from glam rock band Slade which appeared on the album Slade in Flame. It was written by lead singer Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea. The single was released in early 1975. The single only peaked at #15 in the UK which was the lowest charting since Slade's first charting single Get Down and Get With It in 1971. The first week in the top 100, the single only began at #38 which was poor for a Slade single.

The first 200,000 copies of the single featured coloured sleeves whilst the remainder came in an ordinary vinyl sleeve.

Background

The tune was originally written by Lea, back in 1970 on an old out of tune piano with half the keys missing. It was brought out of the cupboard to be the theme tune for Slade's film Flame. Holder's melancholy lyrics added an extra dimension to the opening and closing credits. The song also featured members of the band Gonzalez on brass instruments.

Noel Gallagher of the British band Oasis had claimed this track to be easily "one of the best songs written, in the history of pop, ever". The song has become a favourite of fans.
