Feeling Good Lyrics - Nina Simone

"'Feeling Good', it was sung by Nina Simone, is a song of freedom and joy that echoes the hope and liberation found in the pure, simple beauty of nature. This song, crafted by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical, 'The Roar of theasepaint – The Smell of the', was radically transformed by Simone. She turned it into a powerful statement of confidence and freedom when she, in 1965, recorded it for her album I Put a Spell on You​.

Its lyrics bring forth a feeling of rejuvenation and limitless opportunities, as they celebrate the wonders of nature, and the profoundly deep sense of being at peace with oneself and with the world and what not. The special way Simone sings the song, in particular, is praised for its depth and for the effortless conveyance of sensations of freedom and happiness. It moves above its roots to become an emblem of resilience and optimism for the African American civil liberation rights movement during a chaotic time in the USA history​​.

The storytelling woven in "Feeling Good" indicating a journey from struggle place to satisfaction and strength! A theme that is globally connectable and has contributed to the song's continuous popularity. Simone's version stands out, not just for its melodiousness, but also for the emotional bulkiness she brings to the performance, converting the song into an anthem that transcends its original context to reach more expansive themes of freedom and personal rebirth​.

As years pass by "Feeling Good" has been redone by several artists, but Nina Simone's version is still iconic, it's applauded for its ability to elevate and motivate listeners across generations. Songs of birds singing in the dead of night take these broken wings and learn to fly, The song's legacy as a piece of musical art that encapsulates the struggle for freedom and the joy of overcoming adversity, it is a proof of Simone's brilliance as both an artist and an activist​​​."
