* Produced by The Jacksons
* Composed by Michael Jackson and Jackie Jackson
Co-written by Michael with brother Jackie, it is the opening track on the Jacksons album, Triumph, released in October 1980.
Third single lifted from the album, fared much better in Europe than in the US. It charted at no.6 in the UK, but only achived no.30 on the R&B singles chart and no.77 on the Hot 100 in the States.
It was promoted with an innovative short film 'Triumph - Can You Feel It', directed by Bruce Gowers and Robert Abel, and costing around $140,000. Michael and his brothers were cast as larger-than-life, demi-God figures, who cast stardust on the world, as children gazed up with smiling faces.
It was chosen to open the Jacksons' Triumph Tour concerts.
Can You Feel It - Lyrics
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
If you look around
The whole world’s coming together now, babe
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Feel it in the air
The wind is taking it everywhere, yeah
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
All the colors of the world should be
Lovin’ each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it’s all right
Take my message to your brother
And tell him twice
Spread the word and try to teach the man
Who’s hating his brother
When hate won’t do
’Cause we’re all the same
Yes the blood inside me is inside of you
Now, tell me
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Now, tell me
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Yeah, yeah
Sing out loud
Because we want to make a crowd, yeah
Touch a hand and sing a sound so pure
Salvation rings
Tell me
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Yeah, yeah
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
All the children of the world should be
Lovin’ each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it’s all right
Take my message to your brother
And tell him twice
Take the news to the marching men
Who are killing their brothers
When death won’t do
’Cause we’re all the same
Yes, the blood inside me is inside of you
Now tell me
Can you feel it
Tell me
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
And you see what’s going down
Can you feel it
And you feel it in your bones
Can you feel it
Every breath you take
Is someone’s death in another place
Every healthy smile
Is hunger and strife to another child
But the stars do shine in promising
Salvation is near this time
Can you feel it now
So brothers and sisters show we know how
Now tell me
Can you feel it
Tell me
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
And you see what’s going down
Open up your mind
All the children of the world should be
Lovin’ each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it’s all right
Take my message to your brother
And tell him twice
Spread the news to the marching men
Who are killing their brothers
When death won’t do
Yes, we’re all the same
Yes, the blood inside my veins is inside of you
