about

Feelin’ Good” allowed to express his emotions of being constantly beaten down by society and treated as an “other.” Not only did it affect people in Britain, but African Americans were also able to associate themselves with “Feelin’ Good” when Simone introduced it to the United States. The Civil Rights Movement in America was in full swing by the time the song came out in America in 1965. With sit-ins, bus boycotts, lynching, and rape being a common part of African Americans’ lives, music became an outlet and a rallying cry. “Feelin’ Good” was both of these. The lyrics of the song take things in nature that hold beauty, such as a “bird flying high” or a “river running free,” and personify them in a positive way (Feeling Good – Nina Simone lyrics). They have positive associations that illustrate the feelings of freedom and being on top rather than being denied opportunities to accumulate wealth and possessions or achieve upward mobility (Pittman 2015). The actions of the Civil Rights Movement and America’s view of the possessive investment in whiteness were far from allowing African American’s to be free, but they were striving for that freedom. Songs were a way to encourage and confirm actions that people were doing in order to win this freedom, much like the was trying to win the game. In this way, the song influenced the Movement. It allowed for a bit of the feeling of freedom to be felt by the oppressed people, to help them understand what they were fighting for; housing not located in the least desirable areas, better jobs, equality, was a reason worth fighting for (Pittman 2015).
