Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Reeds drifting 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
Dragonflies all out in the sun, you know what I mean
Don't you know butterflies are all having fun?
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the 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
Yeah, freedom is mine when you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
Baby, you know how I feel
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Na-na-na, ooh-ooh-ooh
Feeling good
About This Song
"Feeling Good" is Muse's powerful cover of the jazz standard that transforms the original into a soaring rock anthem about personal liberation and rebirth. The lyrics celebrate freedom through vivid nature imagery-birds, sun, rivers, and blossoms-that mirrors the protagonist's emotional awakening and sense of renewal after breaking free from past constraints. Matt Bellamy's falsetto vocals build from intimate whispers to explosive heights over dramatic orchestral arrangements and crushing guitar riffs, creating an almost spiritual intensity. The song's themes of transformation and self-empowerment, combined with Muse's signature blend of classical grandeur and rock power, made it one of their most recognizable tracks and a defining moment in their early catalog. Its cinematic scope and emotional catharsis exemplify Muse's ability to elevate familiar material into something transcendent and deeply personal.
