Feeling Good Lyrics
Artist: Nina Simone
Birds flyin' high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
yeah, its a new dawn its a new day its a new life for me ooooooooh
AND I'M FEELING GOOD
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River runnin' free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
And I'm feelin good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what i mean dont you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleepin' 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 crime you know how I feel
Your freedom is mine, and I know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
(Free styling)
OH I'M FEELING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Comments/Interpretations
WOW!! This song just touches my heart.. Thanks!
This song lifts my mood and makes me feel as if I can accomplish any and everything.
in love with this song..also the remix by jay lumen..should listen to it...sooo sooo soulful. :)
There's just something magically uplifting about the brass crescendo on the second verse.
this song stirs me... i wish though to know the last part of the song... that where the power comes in... does anyone know?
I need to know who wrote this song originally. Anybody knows?
the song was originally written for a musical. just google the the title of the song and wikipedia should have the info on who wrote it and the name of the film
personally i think the nina simone version is the best but anythings better than that pussycat dolls abomination
in the last verse the lyrics are scent of the pine not scent of the crime
Personally, I love Muse's version, but this Nina Simone version is pretty good too.
beautiful....
Wow... This song makes me want to give up smoking
Oh god it's a great song, you knowxD
IIIIII love-it
I remember Traffic (with Steve Winwood on vocals) did a cover of this on their album "Last Exit" around 1970 - about 15 mins of jazz organ improv - quite different from Nina's, but still excellent.
this song just touches the very depth of my soul and makes my heart sing ! I LOVE IT !!
A very inpirational song and sang so meaningful and soulful by Nina.
Hi, i need to know the name of the musical group who made the cover of this song, not to long ago
thanks
i love this song it makes me
feel so emotional
like this is my fav song and in will be sing this song in front of all my classmates any advice for me
Thanks for putting these lyrics together.
However, just a small correction. It should read "scent of the PINE" not "scent of the CRIME"
thanks for continuing to update, this wonderful artist sight, this is one of my favorite songs.
Love this song. Its beautiful and you can appreciate the feelings. Vika & Linda Bull do a wonderful version. Also currently in the new movie 7 pounds (Will Smith)
The Muse did a cover Francoise (23/10/08)
All time classic, makes me happy whenever i hear it
Fantastic! Just fantastic!
wow this song makes me want to take off my pants and go look at my nan
Magdalena,
'feeling good' was written by Anthony Newley and Leslie bricusse for the 1965 musical:- " The roar of Greasepaint-the smell of the crowd"
This is my fav song too. What a lovely tune.
Woo hoo!

Scent of the pine!!!!!

Oh shut up 'lol'. Don't use that language.
I love this song, I was singing it on my way home from school this arvo :)

Every day is a new begining!! So celebrste the dawn.
this lady is amazing her voise sholdnt give up
man this song just can touch your heart in so many ways i love this song and nina simone if yall let me i wont to sang this on american idol
I have just heard this song on xfactor and it is really good. I think that it has amazing lyrics and I enjoyed listening to it !!!
Scent of the crime… are you serious? It's "scent of the pine(s)". Please change immediately!
Please note written by Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley for the GREAt musical Roar of the Greasepaint Smell of the Crowd and its broadway rendition by Gilbert Price was incomparable.
Small correction. It's "sleep in peace", not "sleepin' peace".
The Muse vers is awsome aswell, i love the original, but as a Muse fan that vers tops it!
I lorvvvv this song its soooooo good !!!!! Mojel i havn't heard the muse version yet is it good ? i love muse too !! they rock !!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :)
This song is actually pretty gay, and you're somewhat all fags for enjoying it.
Beautifull, wonderfull song. I love it so mucch
As for the profoundly ignorant, homophobic comment by 'Realist' (3/7/2010) , perhaps you should consider changing your name to 'Real Prick' ! Should not the moderators of this site be reporting such comments that are akin to inciting homophobia ??
Thank you Nina Simone! R.I.P
good
To lol and Realist, why are you reading the lyrics of a song that you think is "gay" and actually bothering to comment on it if you don't like it? Clearly you're trying to stay in the closet and failing miserably...so sad.
Both this version and the Muse version are fantastic, but it's Nina and Muse I'm talking about here so that's to be expected really. I'm actually writing a paper about this song for a class right now...which is why I googled the lyrics...so yeah.
This makes me want to slap a walrus and dance screaming around my back yard totally naked.
I think lol is gay
This song "rocks me steady"...
first heard this song on 'Point of No Return', song was better than the movie, awesome
NO ONE and I mean NO ONE lays it down like Nina Simone. You better ask somebody!
I loved the song it is so totay minted
This song is amazing I may copy it in my ne abulm in May
i love to sing this song ova and ova again

This is "the" song. I heard it on The Aprilism blog and had to look up the lyrics. I'm going to download the song and play it for the "gloomy" few at work.
The lyrics is wrong. and spoiling the meaning of the song.
the correct last rimes are:
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
this is so cool
ohh my god how inspiring it really gets me going :')
A few posters have said the line "scent of the crime" should be "scent of the pine". On my version by Nina Simone, she definitely says "scent of the crime" ...... Which I prefer.
I watched the video of ronan parke singing this at the britans got talent thingy on you tube and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U MUUUUUUUUUUST WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a great song and cover by a few, but if you haven't listen to the Michael Buble versions you are missing a real treat.
I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive and finally, I believe in overcoming my obstacle Thank you God I am Feeling Good
After watching "The Secret" this song became my favorite ;)
Realist are you mental - its about the black freedom movement - do you not know your history!
hi daiyr am frome srilanka.puttlam
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about the words of this song. Why is that? And what is the problem with knowing exactly what the words are saying by researching what the original writer wrote.
Ronan Parke signing on Britian got talent was the single best moment of my life. I wish him everything in the world the world has to offer. Thanx Ronan. You are the greatest there ever was or will be.
let me get out thanks
I lov it
let me nice
5he person who actually sang this song was micheal bubble
its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have memorized the song
I memorized the song
WHEN I HERE THIS SONG IT PUTS ME IN A PLACE AHEAD OF ALL MY HURTS AND PAINS
this is all wrong and there much more too the song " scent if the
crime" is really "scent of the pine" please don't get people miss up
I love it
It should be, "scene of a crime, you know how I feel", that makes way more sence.
it helped me learn the song
this song is great
Great song, covers by Muse and Micheal Bauble are also great. Just so you know, in the last verse, it is "sweet sent of PINE you know how I feel," and not "sweet sent of crime"(:
