I Got A Feeling
This week there was talk of violence against Asians in America and the anger rages on back home as I sit in my quiet little studio near the sea in England. I miss my family and lifelong friends, sometimes it's a little bit depressing to feel this isolated, but I have a weekly gathering with my brother and sister... weekly lessons with about a dozen students online... a little garden behind the house to keep me busy and this studio to occupy my mind and imagination. But sometimes the horrible things in the world intrude on the oasis of calm I've created here and it breaks my heart. Today, I could feel the sadness creeping into my mind and bones like a deathly chill, so I looked through recordings I'd made on my phone over the past few months and came across this upbeat song and it just felt right for this week. I stood in my tiny kitchen, dancing with my own shadow, singing out loud until the sadness had to let me go for now. I hope these words will comfort someone and when I release the song, I hope the melody brings a feeling of being emotionally uplifted as it did for me tonight.
With love and tears.

I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
Because it all came tumbling down, down down
Yeah, it all came tumbling down
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
Because it all came tumbling down, down down
Yeah, it all came tumbling down
All the fear and the worry
And the feeling that I’m never gonna make it through
All the fear and the worry
And the hurtful things that I’d say to myself
It all came tumbling down, down, down
It all came tumbling down.
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
Because it all came tumbling down
Yeah, it all came tumbling down
All the fear and the doubt in my mind
All the fear and the doubt in my mind
All the fear and the doubt in my mind
It all came tumbling down, down, down
It all came tumbling down.
Yeah, it all came tumbling down.
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
I got a feeling
It’s gonna be okay
Because it all came tumbling down
Yeah, it all came tumbling down
All the fear and the worry
Yeah, it all came tumbling down, down, down
It all came tumbling down.
