Agreed

This is nonsense you say here. You mean when you are down. When you are suffering depression, this song is like any other, just a song. and you don't get any energy out of it. Many times people do not use the word depression right, when they actually mean down.

@@StefBon2008 it dépends, we are all different...

@@agnesfourtane2475 No. Depression is a disease of the mind, a state you are in, and cannot be changed by one song. If you find this song a cure against depression, you should go for the Nobelprize.

I always draw back to this song got to love it

even now in 2021

I discovered this song and her from a Centrum multivitamin Commercial I saw earlier this evening , and googling the lyrics to find this vid

I’m currently living in her hometown, Tryon NC, and she is revered here.

This is 56 years old.

AMEN

I agree with L.P, I like music, like or love a song don't compare one song or genre to another song or other music.

I know people need money, but this is wrong song to use in a commercial.

@Felicia Servio thank you

How has someone provided help to you, Nicholas? Sometimes it feels a little threatening, because the person may be under drug effect or maybe in an extreme inward-looking introspective mood. I wonder how one could approach and offer effective help to people in homeless situation. How did it happen to you? I may be a random stranger, but your comment made me feel so very glad for you, mate. Peace.

I met someone from the same country as me while on the street and he felt compelled to help out. Took me to his place to shower and shave, introduced me to others who are also from the same country as us. Some of them also wanted to help and they chipped in to get me a room. Then they made a few calls to see anyone was looking for staff. Someone needed a cook. It was quite quick to be honest :) thank you for asking.

@@michaelkylow4411 now you're right, most of the homeless do drugs and believe me in some cases, it's not even a choice. I was lucky to be off the streets in a timely manner. However, you can tell in a short conversation whether the person is under the influence of any substance or not. Don't be scared, make small talk. 9 out of 10 are decent and harmless people. Just unlucky.

I think you're missing the point of the song ...

Patric Siesing She is immortal in her music and that will never die!

Patric Siesing verdade.

some people should learn to live

I dunno man she had some serious problems I feel like her death was almost a kindness to her.

Dear Cara I did not mean literally. It was an end of a creative soul and what it was able to produce for today is what is missed. Do you get me?

#word

Exactly!!

KimiDesu why do people chose to believe that satan does not exist? The bible made it clear that satan and demons are fighting to make people not to believe the bible so that when they die, they would end up in hell. Many muslims said that they saw JESUS physically but that they could not see his face and became christians. If they are lying, why would they lie and put themselves in danger of being killed for leaving islam. Because muhammed the founder of Islam commanded muslims to kill other muslims who leave their religion. many people including muslims became christians after JESUS appeared to them, search for (zaheed former muslim priest dramatic conversion to CHRIST) on youtube or click the link to the youtube video here m.ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fZh7e4t_onx81ok.html and see a 7 minutes video of a muslim who said that JESUS appeared to him in his room. after that search for ( JESUS save dini an indonesian muslim part4) on youtube or click the link to the youtube video m.ukposts.info/have/v-deo/nneAbYGkrodnuIk.html while you are watching it skip to the 3:20 minutes of the video and see a muslim woman who said that JESUS appeared to her in her room physically and told her to follow him which means to become a christian. After that, Search for (Former Muslim Fatimah Saw Jesus Eye-to-Eye & Heard His Final Gospel!) on youtube or click the link to the youtube video here m.ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qnKUqJqEqHmdun0.html and hear the testimony of a woman who said that JESUS healed her of 3 different incurable diseases and also healed her mother and after that, from the 23:50 minutes in the video, she said that he appeared to her in her kitchen in the form of a bright light and that the background of her kitchen changed to a glorious place as if she was in heaven, after she had prayed to him to show himself to her the way he appeared and showed himself to apostle Paul from the bible. and that she heard a voice from the bright light read to her john1:1 from the bible. Even that was not enough to convince her that JESUS is GOD. Until she prayed and said, no i want to see you physically and few other prayer words she spoke, then in that glorious beautiful bright light, she saw JESUS and many more wonders and miracles to the end of the video.

We are not here by accident✌🏼🙏🏼✊🏽💗

I LOVE what you wrote!!! I am a white woman, but I am very interested in the subject. Please get in touch with me.

Your post is relevant...but Nina Simone didn't write the song, it's taken from the musical 'Hair'. Her rendition is supreme nonetheless.

@@billybones2521 You're incorrect. This song was written and composed by Nina Simone and was only officially recorded in 1968 by RCA Records. In those times it was very common for people to sing one another's others songs what we call 'cover' today. However the author of this particular song is infact Nina Simone.

Not according to Wikipedia.

I didn't thought of that,and it's a very rich view of this piece of art,thank you for sharing with everyone.God Bless you

From the legendary play Hair

Nina did it in this 60's.

Hair opened off-Broadway in 1967, opened on Broadway in 1968

the person who rwrote the songs for hair (i dont remember her name) was the best friend of Nina (earded on the movie where are you Nina) thats why she decide to sing her song !

Dodger Fan

+thelouisfanclub same to me, great song

me too

+thelouisfanclub So, saddly, you are sick...

According Zen philosophy and some studies about how the brain works a healthy person must be "centered" in emotions. As empathic persons is normal if we share fillings, but be affected in that way can't be healthy because you won't have the capacity to use the right emotion at the right moment. A healthy person isn't always sad neither happy, a healthy person is just in a normal mood the most of the time.

...So a "healthy person" can't appreciate strong emotions, can't react to art? I don't give a shit about Zen philosophy. In Africa we show emotion: we cry when we are sad, we dance when we are happy, sometimes both at the same time, because emotions are not clear cut.

I hope that one day everything will be the best for you

you've got you, you've got your body, you've got your mind

I can only hope things get better for you, God bless and good luck from me in England, XX

You have a lot more than this song Elaine. You have Grace.

I hope u r doing ok

And that's such a good thing, isn't it? So much feeling in this song.

Damn right it is. So inspiring.

Josh Stalskie Your profile picture next to this comment is just perfection! Seems like you're forever listening to this song and rejoicing.

Hahaha thanks, I definitely come back to this song along with other Nina Simone songs like Blackbird a lot. Great music.

That's how you know its a good song. We will never get music as good as we had it in the 60s

Poignant feels like a very appropriate word to partially describe what this song does to a person. It hits home hard.

Nah she's THE coolest 😎

Tell the truth y'all!

concerning her complex life, i heard someone say something like ''its the case with many geniuses'' on a radio show. i barely knew who she was. now when iwatch her music i get the idea of what sort of genius she was.

Facts

Indeed, Simone was a bold and strong and also beaten down to a make a change of that old world as a woman. She gave well.♥

Denisse Arroyo thank you

This is a perfect song for this time, necessary for every day.

Getloud now Search for (The Wicked Music Industry (Full Documentary) on youtube or click the link to the video here m.ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gJGjq4ikaW-GzIU.html and see a 58 minutes video about the truth behind music industry and see how the celebrities themselves are confessing that satan is the one who owns the music industry and many more demonic rituals and human sacrifices that are going on in secret in the music industry and How each celebrity must take part in it and continue to make music that promotes sin in order for satan to continue to give them temporary riches and fame. Which it against the bible. Please warn everyone against this and share the videos to others to warn them to stay away from these celebrities and all their songs and to repent of all their other sins which includes sexual immorality, drugs, drinking, partying, smoking, tattoos, cursing, pride, violence, gossip, slander, greed, covetousness, lie, stealing, robbery, fornication, adultery, must not commit incest; which is, unlawful and forbidden sexual relations between siblings, or other close relatives. prejudice, injustice, cheating people, fraud, disobedience to parents, must not disrespect, curse, nor insult one’s parents, nor one’s elders. worldliness, magic, witchcraft, necromancy, idolatry, vanity, not helping others, not giving to the needy, murder which includes abortion and birth control. and believe in Jesus and beg him in prayer to be their lord and savior and forgive their sins, so that they would not enter hell fire after death and be thrown into the lake of fire together with satan and demons to be destroyed and separated from God forever. And then as written in the bible, they will then be given everlasting life in heaven and the new indescribable, beautiful, Heavenly earth after all sinners had been wiped out of the earth, and the earth had been destroyed with fire by God to purge out all the evils and abominations that had been committed on it, then God will transform the earth into paradise where all holy people of God and Jesus will live forever in happiness. The bible went on and said, there shall be no more sorrow, pain, hunger, thirst, sickness, crying, suffering and death only everlasting happiness With God and Jesus for the bible said that God himself will come down to that new earth and fix his thrown on that Heavenly earth to live with all holy people who believed in Jesus forever. The new Heaven and the new earth will be full of indescribable blessings, glory and beauty. Streets of gold, etc. According to the bible, God does not forgive sin unless there is a payment for the sin and the payment is death. For the bible said, the soul that sins shall die. And all the good deeds of a person cannot cover up his one single bad deed. The person will end up in hell fire after death. It is only through Jesus that sins are forgiven because he is the only son of God who came to the earth in human form to pay for our sins his own life, by suffering, being whipped, bled, was nailed to the cross and died on the cross for our sins and was buried. But on the third day after His death, God his father raised him up from the dead and he ascended back go heaven and sat at the right hand side of God his father. So that was how Jesus paid for our sins with his own life because of his love and mercy for mankind and also the love and mercy of his father for mankind. Please don’t mix all these everlasting blessings that God has prepared for the holy christians. Please repent of sinning and come to Jesus now for after death it is too late

YAHUWEHISMIGHTY u have WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS

@@YAHUSHUAISLORD468 Wow calm dwon brother, personaly i am muslim, and dont be paranoic brother :D Music is not a sin, i mean some are like you say, satanist ect.. But most of them do music for passion not for that ! dont see the bad and sins everywhere brother, and dont quiet, God/Allah protect us all te belivers againt satan/sheitan

TunisianPartisan secular music is demonic. Because it does not glorify God. God created us to be worshipping him with music and song that glorify him. The first songs ever sung was in heaven. And it was spiritual songs that glorify God. The first humans Adam and Eve worshipped God with songs that glorified God.

@@YAHUSHUAISLORD468 Yes you right, but God also gave us the right to have fun, do other things and more. Religiousness isn't just pray and glorify God brother, its also being good with other peoples and even with ourself, we not on earth "only" to glorify God (but its verify important and must not be forget) but also to just live. May God/Allah guide you in the right path and save you from the hell bro :D

It made me cry

They weren't depressed. They were suffering under the rapid racism and bigotry of the US at the time.

This song is actually a mashup of two separate songs from the musical Hair.

@@omarsabir1210 Oppression can definitely make someone depressed. And you could still apply the message of this song to anything keeping you down

It's true, it lifts me up tremendously. It's pure and existential optimism and hope. It's NEVER giving in. It's great strength. It's joy. It's PATHOS. It's light.... Its LIFE x love her and the song..

Amazing woman

I loveee she!!

What are the odds of finding your favorite asmr artist here ._. que buen gusto tienes kiki :) y muy cierto lo que comentas,que tengas un hermoso dia y gracias por ser como eres c:

+Hermetic Kitten Hey ! J'ai été surpris de te voir ici ! A quand ta prochaine vidéo ASMR en français ? =)

+Juliet Waleya Hardly... You must not comprehend english very well, or you are incompetent, or just another shit stirring racist. Hermetic Kitten hit the nail on the head. You need some help.

+Juliet Waleya From what I understand, that was he intention behind the song. Society's taken away most of the things she and her race had but she wanted to remember that they still had themselves. They had a voice, they had their life. But that message is easily applied and interpreted by people of other races and cultures in much the same way. And that's great, it means her art was transformative, it has a staying power beyond its historical significance.

this is why I've been listening to this song over and over everyday i feel like the world is set up to help us forget the most valuable things and I thank God nina can remind me in such a musically inclined way..

Isn't that "The High Priestess of Soul"? 9/2018

alicd100 davis ended up at julliard right?

Yes .. she made it after all because a huge part of her country was not racist. It comes down to a minority in the USA and the power they gathered through politics. I am talking about the Democrat Party.

yea!

To say that the majority of America was not racist at this time is pretty problematic. There were the KKK, Jim Crow Laws that were close to the South African Apartheid, and media that still perpetuated attitudes of ethnocentrism, the idea that one's culture is better than others. Not to say that every American citizen at this time was racist; but forgetting all these factors is essentially erasing the hard work that artists like Simone had to do to overcome these barriers.

Simon Piller People who ain't got no life

This is my favourite version of this song I’ve heard. I’ve got a cd of her greatest hits at home and this song is included but it’s faster paced and shorter (just over 2 minutes I think) and I think this song is meant to be played slower like in this video. Don’t get me wrong it’s still good but I just prefer this version.

It is a terrible and fearful warning to all christians, buddhists, muslims, hindus, all people including atheists.

NINA SIMONE ISN'T/WASN'T UNDERRATED. SHE'S A LEGEND.

gary corr you people don’t know that God did not bring us to this world to be enjoying life. He brought us here to to this cursed planet and cursed world be tested with his laws and commandments. To see who will keep them all his life. Those who passed through believing in Jesus as their lord and savior, will be forgiven and saved and will then be given everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven. While those who failed will be thrown into the lake of fire on judgment day with satan and all his demons. To be destroyed forever in outer darkness. Jesus is the only way to escape. Because he died for our sins and rose again from death on the third day after his death and ascended back to heaven where he came from. Therefore whoever repents of his sins and believe in Jesus, will be saved from hell fire and the lake of fire. In the Bible, in romans 10:9-10 it said: if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. End quote. In the bible, in romans 6:23, it said: the wages(payment) for sin is death. But the gift of God is everlasting life in Jesus Christ our lord. End quote.
