nina simone — feeling good
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin on by you know how I feelIts a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling goodFish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feelIts a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling goodDragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you know
Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
Thats what I meanAnd this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For meStars 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 feelIts a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good
great jazz song, but Buble sings it a lot better…
you are totally insane. i’m not one of those people who always thinks the original was better, but no one can sing this like nina. this is a song about struggle. buble has no struggle.
but he always wants to go home. and he can’t. ever.
