"Don't You Wanna Feel" is a dance-pop-rock song written by James Ash and Natalie Bassingthwaighte for the Rogue Traders' third studio album Better in the Dark. It was released on schedule as the album's first single on 29 September 2007.[1] It was leaked onto P2P networks on 7 September 2007.
At the end of August 2007, it was revealed on the official Rogue Traders forum that the single would soon be available for pre-order via mobile phone. Later, this was confirmed by Sony BMG, and for A$5.55 (including postage), fans could secure their own copy of the single, complete with signatures from band members.[2] Both Natalie Bassingthwaighte & James Ash signed the disc sleeve.
Chart performance
The song debuted and peaked at number ten on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart on 8 October 2007. It stayed at number ten for four weeks and peaked at number six on the physical CD singles chart and number ten on the digital tracks chart.
"Don't You Wanna Feel" was certified Gold (35,000+ copies sold) by ARIA Charts.[3]
Music video
The music video for "Don't You Wanna Feel" was filmed in Sydney in July 2007.[4] The video is set in the Rogue Institute for the Gifted, a special hospital where gifted musicians are studied. Described by James Ash as "Grey's Anatomy meets Heroes", the video depicts Ash and Natalie Bassingthwaighte as doctors.[4] Throughout the video they are shown observing patients performing instruments in strange ways. The music video concludes when Ash and Bassingthwaighte briefly disappear into one of the observation rooms, performing with the rest of the group.
Sony BMG announced that the music video would premiere on Network Ten News with Angela Bishop on 11 September 2007.[5] The video, however, was not aired and instead premiered on the band's website the following day.
