Justin Timberlake can't stop the feelings life is throwing his way. 

With a brand new concert film Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids slated for debut on Netflix Wednesday, a growing baby boy at home and an ongoing marriage to Jessica Biel, the 35-year-old crooner is a long way from his "Bye, Bye, Bye" boy band days. 

While he's spent a majority of his life in the spotlight, the Grammy winner still pauses regularly to breathe it all in. "Every day," he told Today's Willie Geist. "While it's happening—now more so than ever while it's actually happening...the moment and all of this imperfection is the best part. That's going to be the part you remember the most."

As a first-time dad, Timberlake experiences plenty of imperfection while figuring out how to raise 1-year-old son Silas

"It changes everything," he said. "You literally just wake up…you look in the mirror and go, 'I have no idea what I'm doing.'"

Little Silas might have even had an effect on Justin's newest tune. "I would have never written a song like 'Can't Stop the Feeling,'" he revealed of his current chart-topper.

"I don't know that it was directly inspired to be something that my son could listen to of mine because there's a lot of music he can't listen to of mine—at least not yet."

Of course, everything needs to get the green light from mom, too. After four years of marriage to his leading lady, Timberlake is increasingly appreciative of his life partner.
 
"It's humbling," he said of Biel and their son together. "You watch her realize she has a gear she didn't have and then you go, 'Woah.'"
