Feeling Good by Nina Simone Lyrics
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin on by you know how I feel
(refrain:)
Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel
(refrain)
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you know
Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
Thats 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 pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

Fire, The Prodigy and Arthur Brown’s Crazy World
Saturday, September 26th, 2009I love learning about the connections between today’s music and music of previous generations. Today I Tweeted about how I was listening to Fire by The Prodigy and one of my music-loving friends told me that The Prodigy sampled Arthur Brown off the 1968 Crazy World of Arthur Brown album. Indeed, Arthur Brown appears to live in a crazy world and clearly, The Prodigy was inspired by it. Check out both videos for a little compare and contrast amongst genres and generations.

Don’t Fight the Darkness by Yacht

I love the unique mix, the simplicity and the lyrics, especially “don’t fight the darkness bring the light and darkness disappears.”

Female Rapper Roxanne Shanté Gets Stiffed on Royalties – Warner Music Pays for Her PhD
Monday, August 24th, 2009New York Daily news published an article titled Rapper behind ‘Roxanne’s Revenge’ gets Warner Music to pay for Ph.D on August 23, 2009.
Watch Roxanne’s Revenge on YouTube.
It’s a great story of how persistence and determination paid off for Shanté. Despite the fact that the record company tried to stiff her out of all her royalties, they couldn’t find a way to deny the clause in her contract that stated they would pay for her education for life.
The result, Shanté got a PhD in Psychology at Cornell to the price tag of $217,000 and now she’s using her education and rapping/hip hop skills to help urban African-American’s express their angst through non-traditional counseling methods. She helps clients to “unleash their inner MC and shout out exactly what’s on their mind”.
