Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)

After I posted in my other blog "Desiderata: wear sunscreen" that tells the story of these two marvelous texts full of excellent advice, now I add the musical part.

As I already told, in 1999 the Australia director Baz Luhrmann produced an album called "Something for Everybody" with new versions of the songs used in his films, and used a remixed version of the 1991 Rozalla's song “Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)” as a musical base with the lyrics of the "Wear Sunscreen".

The Rozalla's song was a huge success at the end of 1991 in the discotheques all around the world. It has later many versions and remixes, including the one by Baz Luhrmann. Here's the lyrics of that song:

Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free

Brother and sister
Together we'll make it through
Some day a spirit will lift you and take you there
I know you've been hurting but I've been waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just helping you out
Whenever I can

Ohh Ohh
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good

We are a family that should stand together as one
Helping each other instead of just wasting time
Now is the moment to reach out to someone
It's all up to you
When everyone's sharing their hope
Then love will win through

Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good

Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
(repeat till fade)
