“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 yeah. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me, ouh. And I’m feeling good” Sung by Nina Simone, written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. From Metro Lyrics
In the largely consumer society that we find ourselves in, we are often encouraged that we will feel good when we purchase a new thing or do a new activity. Whilst this may be true, I am reminded that we can find the feeling of goodness with nothing much: The sun in the sky, the dawn.
Nina Simone wrote some melancholic songs and, with the life she had, you could feel that it was all she should have written. But even with the hardship and prejudice she experienced through her talented life, she managed to sing these profoundly cheerful and grateful songs.
Sometimes, just remind yourself to feel good, because it feels good. It is a new dawn and a new day!
