Hamilton-based roots-rock band The Dunlop Brothers release their new single “Lost in the Feeling,” a warm, reflective track drawn from their latest album ‘The Dunlop Brothers, Vol. 2.’ The song captures the brothers’ gift for melodic songwriting and emotional nuance, further defining a sound shaped by rock, folk, Americana, and Canadiana traditions.
Comprised of siblings Justin and Matt Dunlop, The Dunlop Brothers have built a reputation for music grounded in authenticity and craft. Raised in a deeply musical family and influenced by the songwriting lineage of Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, and Rush, the brothers blend Steeltown grit with lyrical sensitivity. Their work reflects a lifelong immersion in music and a shared instinct for storytelling that feels personal and universal at once.
“Lost in the Feeling” showcases the duo’s collaborative songwriting approach, unfolding with patience and emotional clarity. Lines such as “I get lost in the feeling, love, what’s the meaning of?” and “Does your heartbeat faster now?” drift over a spacious arrangement that highlights the song’s introspective core. The refrain “I get lost in the dreaming; love was the one way out” anchors the track in a sense of longing and connection that resonates through subtle shifts in tone and texture.
