She gives each picture its own space — one line, then real silence, then the next. Nothing else in the room with her.

'It's a new dawn, it's a new day' — and she keeps it stern, almost matter-of-fact. A claim, not a celebration.

There it is — drums, bass and brass come in right under 'and I'm feeling good,' and suddenly she's got a floor under her. She doesn't fight it; she just gets more certain inside it.

Same kind of picture as the opening — fish in the sea — but it's not floating in silence now. There's a locked stride underneath, and the world she's naming moves with it.

This verse is shorter — one 'new life for me' and she moves straight on. Last time she sang it twice.

The second 'feeling good' has grown teeth — less like she's reassuring herself, more like she's announcing it to a room.

Even her refrain's gone playful — 'you know what I mean, don't you know?' There's a wink in it, and the band doesn't loosen one bit underneath. That's what keeps the wink in control.

'This old world is a new world — a bold world, for me.' The brass presses right behind her now — pressing, not exploding — and she rides on top of it.

Night now — 'stars when you shine' — same you-know-how-I-feel shape, but the pictures have gone dark and cool.

There's the word under everything — 'freedom is mine.' No picture this time, just the claim. And then the smallest turn: all song it's been 'you know how I feel' — now it's 'and I know.'

The opening lines come back around, and she's stretched the last one: 'a new long life for me.' One new word in there — long.

And she hands it over — no words for a good while now, just the band carrying it.

There she is — 'I'm feeling good' — and by now it's not a mood she's describing. It's a fact she's reporting.

Quick ending — it lets go fast and it's done. She said what she came to say.
