Musicbrainz DBBirds 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
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me.
Yeah, it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me, ooooooooh...
And I'm feelin' 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
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me,
And I'm feelin' 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
Yeah, 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
(scat)
And I'm feelin'... good.

This is as good as it gets. I concur. This is indeed as good as it gets. (Laziness and being too busy with other more important stuff keeps me from down-rating / reorganizing my other ratings...but I should...) |

People have their prejudices. Here is a great paradox for you: the people who claim to be most interested in culture are actually the ones who are least interested in culture. (I am not making a case for TV. It's one outlet among many. But AI was a great show for awhile. Not for the same reasons we listen to RP. Apples to oranges. Love culture. Peace.) |

| WonderLizard (2,755.46 mi. due east of Paradise) | Posted: May 23, 2012 - 05:41 I've always had a soft spot for Traffic's version from Last Exit. Thought it took a bit of moxie for a hip rock band to play Anthony Newley. |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Mar 20, 2012 - 19:28 Thanks, that explains the 'feel' - they were contemporaries. As was Shirley Bassey. |

| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Dec 16, 2011 - 14:35 I'm feelin' the blues about now. But in a good way.... Nina Simone, Albert King, Blasters, John Hammond, Ben Harper — what a set |

| passsion8 (over the hills and far away) | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 08:52 Gosh, I thought this was a man singing. Clearly not Micheal Buble! Glad to see I can still learn something about music from before today... |
