thought for the day :o)

This has always been one of my favourite songs since I saw it in a film [can't recall what it was called] in a flea pit cinema in Hillbrow a thousand years ago; so long ago that you could still smoke in the 'bioscope' - imagine that! I am surely getting old... :o)

Now I've decided it's MY song! The best version is by Joe Bonamassa,
but there's no YouTube of him unfortunately. You have to have the Nina Simone version [which is also pretty cool]...er, Muse version? No. Unless it's the live version where he actually got involved and showed a little emotion...

These are the lyrics - SO appropriate to me, now;

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 feel

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life
For me...and I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
blossom in the trees, 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 feeling 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
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
Oh 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...and I'm feeling good
