Feeling Good by Ed Privat

Hello friends,

I recorded this version of "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone 2 years ago, it was winter, I had long hair and a very bad sniffle.People tend to forget that winter in South Africa can be very cold. I was wearing a jacket while recording, and trying to keep warm jumping up and down :)

You can actually hear me sniff between each breathing. So yeah I was not "Feeling Good" that day, none the less I managed to record a decent version, of this masterpiece.

This is probably one of my favorite song from Nina Simone, the way the original starts with her haunting voice , it gives me shivers just to think about it.(in a good way)
My knowledge in sound recovery and treatment is much better than it was at the time of the recording, and I decided to spend some time on bettering it.
I've added a reverb, a compressor, a gate, and equalized the Stereo Master.

Here are the lyrics of this wonderful song, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do .

Birds flyin' high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
yeah, its a new dawn its a new day its a new life for me ooooooooh
AND I'M FEELING GOOD

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River runnin' free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
And I'm feelin good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what i mean dont you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleepin' peace when day is done that's what I mean
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 crime you know how I feel
Your freedom is mine, and I know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
(Free styling)
OH I'M FEELING GOOD
