Nina Simone — “Feeling Good”
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
for me.
And I’m feeling good.
Nina Simone — “Suzanne” [Originally Recorded by Leonard Cohen]
And she shows you where to look,
among the garbage and the flowers.
There are heroes in the seaweed.
There are children in the morning.
They are leaning, leaning out for love,
and they will lean that way forever.
I love what Nina Simone did to this song. Turned a beautiful, melancholy musing into something celebratory and exultant.
