279: Feeling Good!

hi.
Today a workout on a song that
(if you're in the mood)
says it all.
Nina Simone's version is ofcourse the
undisputed winner of them all, even if some folks remix it...
-
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
-
Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
-
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
-
Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
-
And I'm feeling good

Some wikipediastracting facts about this song can be read HERE.

If I have to choose 1 fave from today's 20
it'll be the one by My Bright Diamond,
maybe because it has such a "sad" touch to it, I dunno.

I came across a new LP by Tribe that, if you don't know of it, I think you might like.
