    This song was originally written in '64 and she covered it in '65. The characters in the video represent a modern take on Nina and her daughter (for real) at a time right after leaving a long abusive marriage in 1964. She was starting over and was having this new awakening when she did this album ("I Put a Spell on You") so watching the video with that in mind I get a sense of just how much of herself she poured into her music and how real that emotion was. It was always like that for her.

    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    For me
    And I'm feeling good

    Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
    Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
    And this old world is a new world
    And a bold world
    For me
    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
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life

    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    It's a new life
    For me
    And I'm feeling good
    I'm feeling good
    I feel so good

Ms Nina is magnificent and it does n't matter how often I hear this piece it gives me goosebumps every time and that's best part of 50 years.
