Is It Real For You Like It’s Real For Me
The Preatures “Is This How You Feel?”
This is a pretty simple and straight forward pop song about dating someone and not really being sure how they feel about you, and though that’s kind of a banal topic, the band nails the mood by conveying this perfect balance of mild angst and excited anticipation. “Is This How You Feel?” is never a bummer or too intense, but there’s a clear emotional investment in every moment of it, and there’s a sense that she’s pretty nervous about finding out the answer to that question, even if it’s the answer she’s hoping for.
