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

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.
