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
its a new dawn
its a new day
its 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
its a new dawn
its a new day
its a new life
for me
and i'm feeling good
dragonflies out in the sun
you know what I mean, don't you know
butterflies all having fun
you know what I mean
sleep in peace when the day is done
it's an old world, it's a new world
it's a bold world
for me
stars when you shine
you know how i feel
said i'll be fine
you know how i feel
oh freedom is mine
and i know how i feel
its a new dawn i
its a new day
its a new life
for me
ooh
feeling good
ooh feeling good

    General Comment:Dear Michael Bublé,
    This is how you create a cover of a big band song that builds on the original in a way that's interesting and worth listening to, rather than slathering on the cheese. Please take note.

    General Comment:A Nina Simone original so Muse cannot do it justice, but it's still good. On a personal note, this has been playing all night so I'm guessing you've made your plans for the weekend. Toss in some more Kings of Leon and the like and I'm quite sure you'll be good to go. (Just stay gone!)

    General Comment:I definitely feel that this song is sarcastic, but I think there's a reason why.

    To me, it seems like previous to this song (figuratively) the idea is that Matt was pressured very strongly to turn a leaf, start over new, and this song is basically his way over sarcastically looking at the world as a far too positive place. The lyrics on their own could be totally sincere, but the powerful, slightly angry vocals, kick-ass drums, and grinding bass cannot be cheery. Great, but not cheery.

    I love this song, though. The sound distortion is excellent. Muse has a serious gift of making sound distortion ridiculously beautiful. With some bands that do lo-fi stuff (*cough cough* CRYSTAL CASTLES *cough cough*) you sort of have to work to find the beauty in it, and even then, it hurts your ears like hell. Muse, on the other hand, use sound distortion as a way of achieving a whole new level of beauty to their music. It's not just noise, you know?

    Beautiful cover. The original is great, too, but Muse really breathed life back into this song.

    Lyric Correction:It is "scent of the pine", not "said I'll be fine".

    Song Meaning:i believe its about the fall of communism, as seen in the video, wearing a CCCP jacket. color red. people messed up.
    its a new dawn
    its a new day
    its a new life
    you know what I mean
    sleep in peace when the day is done
    it's an old world, it's a new world

    imagine waking up the day after the fall of communism and being liberated and free.
    many of their songs are about being libertarian and telling the government to back off and allow to live as individuals.
