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
Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know?
Butterflies all out having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when 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!
And you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
Freer than you...
Freer than you
I'm 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.
