My Track has a flip flop hub so I rode fixed and enjoyed the connection you had with the bike a lot. It's exactly as you describe. But I switched over to the free wheel side for convenience.
Perhaps I should try riding fixed again to see if that could be its place. Good suggestion!

ride a fixed gear bike as much as one
cooperates with it.
