![]() One of the true female voices of the 20th century, singing about the inner freedom one can obtain, is so powerful and important. Before Simone iconically did this piece, “Feeling Good” was a musical song, which definitely adds to the big band, big voice aspect of this song. But, then I kept thinking about how popularized so many covers of songs become, meanwhile the class originals kind of get left in the dust. The reason I feel that including one of the original versions of this song is because one of my friends from school told me last semester that they thought Michael Bublé was the first person to sing this song and I was pretty upset by it. Feeling Good by Nina Simone - Everyone has heard this song in their lives, that is indisputable. In terms of musical quality, the dreamy indie pop sound of Beach Fossils never fails to put the listener in a relaxed, contemplative state which can allow for further reflection upon the deep meaning.Ģ. It’s so hard to find music that properly exemplifies how it feels to struggle with mental health and the various cycles that one goes through of doing bad/doing better, so I can always appreciate when I find something that speaks to this concept correctly. The iteration of the “you” in this song at first, seemed to be the speaker talking to a person, but actually is calling out depression as a personified thing. For a deeper scope, this piece develops the thought surrounding “moving on” from a mental defect or illness, in this case, it seems to be depression. This song particularly is really good in the sense that it talks about the self critical nature of the human spirit and how we tell ourselves we will stop bad habits and automatically change, when this is a difficult thing to implement. This Year by Beach Fossils - I love continuity of themes, so starting this mix off with the theme of a new time in life and refreshing the pages was definitely something I had in mind with the rest of the songs as well.
