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

Yes thank you ! I think it's a wonderful contest, unfortunately only want song recorded on Youtube to make it easier for @luzcypher to go through all the content.
I don't use Youtube very often as it screws little artist like me over , I told @luzcypher already about it .I partcipated once and didn't win so I think that's it for me , I don't want to upload too many videos on youtube. Thanks anyway :)

im bout to go thru your whole playlist!! you got crazy vocals bro real talk! I bet you its no Auto Tune either huh?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I like using Auto tune as an affect you know what I mean ? I am not totally against it I don't really use it well. There is a nice Melodyne software that I want to learn how to use
Nice Rack you put every time, I love it ! I work on Cubase mostly but I love the sound that you get from Reason let's do something together ?What do you have in mind ?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yea i know exactly what you mean! The newest Auto Tune is real dope, i haven't had a chance to use it myself but it sounds really good just with your natural voice, but the fx is dope too. Melodyne is dope too. Let's work! I think you would sound dope on anything hip hop i can go alot of directions! Maybe some boom bap drums with a dope sample type melody?
