Feeling Good
Avicii feat. Audra Mae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running 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, yeah
And I'm feeling good
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies are havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And in 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
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me




And I'm feeling good
And I'm feeling good

Her voice makes me feel some kind of way! Dear Gods, she is magick! 😍

Adam Dominguez

At the climax, as she belts 'good', her pitch sharpens before dipping in with the accompaniment. It works so well for this specific song and this specific cover.

This song and Audra's voice is amazing. I heard this on a car commercial and have been listening to it since. This is a very refreshing twist to a Nina Simmone song. I love it!!!!

Thanks, now I don't feel bad about the twenty minutes I just spent also. Wouldn't believe this was a guy (Avicii) singing this, so I didn't give up.
