Feels So Good
Chuck Mangione · Feels So Good
There's no place for me to hide
The thoughts of all the time I cried
And felt this pain
That I have known
Because I needed just to hear
That special something
And then one day
You just appear
You said "hello"
"Let's make love along the way"
Your name is music to my heart
I'll always really love you
Feel so good when I'm with you
I can't believe you love me too
With you it feels like it should feel
With you it feels so good
The thoughts of all the time I cried
And felt this pain
That I have known
Because I needed just to hear
That special something
And then one day
You just appear
You said "hello"
"Let's make love along the way"
Your name is music to my heart
I'll always really love you
Feel so good when I'm with you
I can't believe you love me too
With you it feels like it should feel
With you it feels so good
About Feels So Good
"Feels So Good" is Chuck Mangione's signature instrumental and one of the rare jazz-pop recordings to become broadly familiar outside specialist jazz audiences. Built around Mangione's warm flugelhorn melody, the piece blends smooth jazz, pop accessibility, and a relaxed 1970s studio sound. Its main theme is instantly memorable, but the recording also leaves space for musicianship, especially in the way the arrangement stretches beyond a simple single-length idea. The track's success helped define Mangione's public image and showed how an instrumental could cross into everyday popular culture without losing its jazz roots.
