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
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a 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 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, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
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

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
I feel so good
I feel so good

    Great song. This guy's music is really growing on me.

    About the song, it's pretty self-explainitory. He's singing about his new life, and how good he feels. Maybe a life-changing type thing. Nothings keeping him down. He has the world to explore.

    Hah, oh, me, too. We've got this on our new in-store DVD on rotation, and it's just great.

    But is it just me, but is this clearly more Bond-inspired than 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' ? Hell, if they'd do it, this would be a great bit to put into the newest flick.

    Oh, lord, help me. But I just thought of this: is this not an excellent theme to put in the back of one of those damned 'new medication will change your life' adverts? :snirk:

    "It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new liiiiiiife. And I'm feeeeling ... gooooooood!"

    Man, I really can see it now. Let the countdown to the marketing commence.

    The Muse version of this song (which is good!) was knocked off by an ad company for a coffee commercial when the band wouldn't agree to let them use it, so your fears have been realized in a way.

    Actually, this song is already being used for commercials by ESPN (with permission) for the 2005 World Series of Poker. I personally feel that fits, as it has that sound of the old Vegas era a la Sinatra.

    I thought that this song was about the start of a new relationship. It's just simply saying that he's just told her how he feels and so now he has nothing to hide, and he's feeling alot better now.

    Well, it doesn't look like anyone is aware that this is not an original song by Bublé. This song was originally sung by Nina Simone in the 60s and I highly suggest you listen to it! Michael Bublé does a nice job covering it, but no one can sing it like Nina.

    Nina Simone's version of the song is great, but not comparable to Michael Buble's version. They are both good in their seperate ways. I would have to agree with lilybear on the meaning. I suppose you could apply the meaning of this song however you want. It is very braud. Perhaps he has had a life changing experiance, perhaps he is in love, perhaps being in love is a life changing experiance for him. Regardless, this song just makes you feel good; it's easy to get into the groove of the beat, and the way he sings it is just catchy. Exactly what every good song should do.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
