Feeling Good 🎶

It's a new dawn, it's a new day

Forty years, Soph, and you're feeling your way

Gummy bear margaritas at the start

Now you're forever in my heart

We met at the film festival, years ago

London-Trinidad connection, we both know

Living down the road, stags at local bars

Bonding over drinks beneath Caribbean stars

Your dad Mervyn at Minglers, rum in hand

We'd go meet him and his friends, understand

That special place where stories flowed like wine

Those memories, Cel and Soph, forever mine

Your sister Emma gave me my first DJ gig

Say Less was born, I made it big

Our brothers, our nieces, growing up as one

Our mums were close friends, the damage done

You were there when my mum Bonnie died

I was there when your dad said goodbye

Through thick and thin, through horrible men

Like Jonny doing wheelies, fucking your engine

I'm still mortified, still so sorry, babe

But that's the chaos that we made

Through carnival mornings and boat cruise nights

Running late with Val, barely making flights

And I'm feeling good

Knowing you, knowing us, it's understood

Like a leopard—gorgeous, bold, and true

Quick-witted, loyal, that's you

Yes, I'm feeling good

Forty years of Sophie doing what she should

Standing up for what's right, defending till the end

I'm so fucking proud to call you friend

Every Jouvert, we jump up together

Trini girl crew—Val, Kelly, whatever weather

You're always late to my boat cruise, it's true

Police escorts rushing you and Val through!

Running as the boat's pulling away

But somehow you make it every single day

That's Sophie—charismatic danger zone

Brilliant madness, you've always known

You always get what you want, and it's always right

Your intelligence, your drive, shining so bright

Creative, perseverant, a legend through and through

I am in awe of your brilliance, it's true

You tell people about themselves without fear

Defend your people, hold them near

Not afraid to stand for what is just

In you, Sophie, I place my trust

Tell me where the body is, I'll make it disappear

High-stakes heist? I'm right here, my dear

Ride or die till the end of time

Your secrets safe, your battles mine

And I'm feeling good!

Knowing you, knowing us, it's understood!

Like a leopard—gorgeous, bold, and true!

Quick-witted, loyal, that's you!

Yes, I'm feeling good!

Forty years of Sophie doing what she should!

Standing up for what's right, defending till the end!

I'm so fucking proud to call you friend!

From gummy bear margaritas to carnival days

From film festivals to life's winding ways

Through loss and laughter, joy and pain

Cel and Soph, through sun and rain

Happy fortieth, my brilliant friend

This bond of ours will never end

So here's to you, to all we've shared

I'm feeling good...

Knowing you've always cared

Birds flying high, you know how I feel...

It's a new dawn, it's a new day...

And I'm feeling good
