Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. 🎵

When the horror movie A Quiet Place came out in 2018, I was BEYOND impressed!

Sound is such an integral part of our lives, and having a horror movie where the only way to survive is to avoid sound was extremely innovative!

I remember the first time I watched A Quiet Place and being astonished by all the creative ways the main characters try to live a normal life without making ANY noise. I sat on the edge of my chair for most of the film!

I was excited to finally watch the prequel to A Quiet Place, A Quiet Place: Day One.

Although the film did have horror components to it, I could not get over how FANTASTIC the story for the film was! 💙

I love that the film addressed:

• Mindfulness
• Friendship
• Gratitude
• Animal Companionship
• Mortality
• Fear
• Regret

I didn’t expect the film to be so MOVING!

If you’ve seen the film, how did you like it?

Did anyone else think that the main character’s cat was way too calm for the circumstances? 🤣

This week’s song is “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone which is featured at the end of the film:

Lyrics:

Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by, you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me, yeah

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me, ooh
And I’m feeling good

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me
And I’m feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know?
Butterflies all havin’ fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that’s what I mean
And this old world, is a new world
And a bold world for me, yeah-yeah

Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me

I’m feeling good

What an AMAZING music video for the song! ❤️

How do you like the song?

Nina Simone’s voice is PHENOMENAL! 💙

What makes you feel good?

May you be well! 💚
