This song makes me feel melancholic because of its lyrics. I was homeless in NYC for about a year. Living on the streets, panhandling and waiting (hoping?) to die soon. Luckily I got a helping hand and got my life back. It was an experience which I don't wish upon anyone.
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.

Hermosa voz, no desaparece en el tiempo, pena deberían tener los que dan esos premios a los reggaetoneros, raperos y cuánto hace tortura de la música que debe alegrar el alma el corazón y todo el cuerpo, Dios y sus bellas y talentosas criaturas como lo fue está Dama.
She is THE fucking QUEEN! I am a white Russian boy, who was born in 1995 - it's 62 years after she was. We couldn't be more different. But still, for me, she is THE QUEEN.
This is a really great song for someone with depression. It doesn't try to gloss over it or paint over it. It takes you all the way down before it tries to light you up. That's the only way you can even hope to pull someone out of that darkness...you gotta meet them there first.
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..
This is my whole mood 2024. No friends, no love, no job, nada but this song conveys that unexplainable feeling of having nothing but at the same time knowing that having yourself is all you really got
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.
@@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.
Getloud now Search for (The Wicked Music Industry (Full Documentary) on youtube or click the link to the video here m.th-cam.com/video/HarwRm29UkQ/w-d-xo.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
@@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
I want people to understand that this song is not about her or merely about being happy. This was written by Nina specifically and metaphorically a song for black people, she began by describing the status of black people in society especially in those times of the 60s and 70 who were fighting and facing harsh realities of stereotypes, abuse and racism. Blacks were viewed as and treated as the people who 'ain't got no [insert numerous stereotypes word]' which she mentioned in the beginning of the song and then she responds with the virtues of what (we the blacks do have) and still have even after all was taken, restricted, raped and denied of us. She highlights that we the black people. We have our freedom! You are no longer slaves, we are free. We have soul, health, joy, stamina and eternal virtues no one can ever take from us (despite the fact they tried to take it all from us, 'we still have') despite the labels placed on us, despite the discrimination, racism and the things we have endured and have had taken from us and deprived of us we indeed and infact actually still have all the things that truely matter. The things which cannot be taken; Our power, our dignity, our joy, our rhythm, our soul, our life (spiritually and physical)...etc
@@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.
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.th-cam.com/video/EhJGUHkFKuU/w-d-xo.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.th-cam.com/video/fGO9KmwQ6WU/w-d-xo.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.th-cam.com/video/rBctdMqClYI/w-d-xo.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.

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.

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.
The meaning of Nina is: "Darling, dear, little girl, lovely eyed, bejeweled, and slender, little one. The precious talent from the most high God." Thank you, Nina! 🙏💖🏺🌊✨️
This is an anthem. This song is just so... It means so much to me. When I discovered it I was not going through my best moments, and this woman managed to make me lift my head and look at the future knowing that it doesn't matter what happens, I will never lose my track, cause I got myself, I got my freedom and I ant giving it up. Thank you, really. This song is trmendously necessary for anyone whoso is going through hard times. Thank you Nina for coming into this world. Thank you for providing us with this. Thank you
@@slavmeister73 There is a world full of youngsters who haven't discovered her YET. But they will. She will live on in memory and continue giving her wonderful gift.
Every day i listen to this song to give me a lift and be happy just to be around, you know why??, i have a liver transplant, and thanks to the man who gifted his liver to me,, i am still ALIVE and KICKING. Thank you my brother, for the gift of life and hope, and thanks to you too Nina.
Simone was denied from the music school she trained her whole life for (she was a classically trained pianist) because it was a whites only school. But she conquered it to become someone known as the ‘Goddess of Soul’, what a legend, pioneer, genius.✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽 her bio pic on Netflix is inspirational✨
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.
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.
The turn of emotion at 2:13 is amazing. It turns the song in its head. If you're like me, you think it's a sad song, then all of a sudden life seems worth living
Como deve ter sido difícil uma mulher com tremenda consciência de sua negritude cantar para plateias quase sempre de pessoas brancas. Além disso era duma competência que extrapolava as mulheres de seu tempo. Meu tributo a Nina Simone.... simplesmente de um talento descomunal.
Cara Márcia, os ingleses diferente dos americanos tinham imenso respeito pelos músicos negros dos EUA, o próprio Quincy Jones disse certa vez que os britânicos eram mais estudiosos da musica negra americana que os próprios americanos. Beatles, Stones, The Who e Animals regravaram inúmeras canções de artistas da Black Music e da Montown mas sempre rendendo o devido crédito a eles. Simone sabia disso por isso se apresentou varias vezes aos londrinos. O engraçado é que hoje um povo que já foi tão receptivo quanto os britânicos aprovam leis anti imigração.
Os britânicos não são racistas como os americanos. Ser uma pessoa negra na Europa naquela época ainda era mil vezes melhor que ser uma pessoa negra no Brasil dos dias de hoje.
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.
I literally discovered Nina Simone today and I could not be more happy to hear this woman sing (and pretty bummed to discover her so late in my own life). She's absolutely amazing.
Love how unique her voice is and how her music just sticks with you forever one you hear it for the first time. I even did a research paper on her and that made me love her more! Nina is so inspirational and down to earth. She might be in heaven now but her music will always remain in my heart.
Saw this artist in the Stadium South Circular Road Dublin on two appearances and she had the greatness to inspire and uplift the human soul. What it is to be alive to experience such a wonder. A real fighter for justice for her people and the rest of us. Deep respect
So once upon a time, I was at the lowest point in life, I took this song, made it my anthem and digested it. This song became strength, then the table turned. Now it's all over, here I am listening to this masterpiece and just chill.

This is as real as it gets, ladies and gentelmen. One does not possess voice of this sense until the meaning behind it screams life. This song, this performance, gives me shivers. Puts a lump in my throat, a tear in my eye... everytime. Wow, those lyrics... just... wow.
She is ever so elegant and the message behind her song is mind blowing. We often forget to worship the most important thing we have, our life, our bodies, ourselves.
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:
+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..
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 !
Most powerfull song ever. Imagine what Mankind could achieved if every soul truly experience the meaning of this song ❤ Nina Simone herself strongly believed into the divine power of art to bring peace. This song is a gift from God
Nina Simone tem uma história bem peculiar. Grande cantora, pianista, radical defensora dos direitos dos negros nos anos 60. Saiu em 2015 um ótimo documentário sobre a vida dela, imperdível. Tem no Netflix.
I’m writing my own updated lyrics and I want to put out a cover when I have everything the way I want it. This rendition means so much to me. ❤ I’m so glad Nina shared her gifts and message with the world
When ever i feel down or not feeling anything i listening to this song. So uplifting. Thank you Nina. You are a truly blessed Angel to the people who have nothing but the courage to live and dare. I love you.
I just discovered this. The saddest and sweetest song ever! My eyes well up every time I hear this. Imagine the depths of existential loneliness one would have to experience to even write such words. Then to hit it out of the ballpark with saying yes to life.
This song is the perfect epitome of GRATITUDE! And focusing on what YOU DO HAVE!!! I follow The Secret and law of attraction and this is just a beautiful song that reminded me of it. ❤🙌
People are going to rise up together more and more ... a movement where you matter. You should always matter. You do matter. We stand with you and if you fall ... we will hold you up.
Thank you Nina. Every time I get very depressed I just listen to this absolute masterpiece my hearts melts. There's nobody in this world not even god that could help me in those gloomiest times only me. I'm pushing myself. I LOVE YOU NINA You are a inspiration why I'm still going...:)

The lyrics are so poetic & beautiful, universal. Still listen to the HAIR original & movie soundtrack and is exactly this. EXACTLY!! So blown away!!! How did I miss this?! NINA. I love you ever & always. Thank you!!
The kids talk about freedom like something free to use, and forget that heroes need pay a lot of for it. Freedom is always about responsibility. You are the owner, and so you are the responsible person 😊
I find Nina Simone seen in a 14 year old video to be a strong, charismatic, and a powerful Queen. When she performs I can’t take my eyes off of her! R. Mikki Addison, Author
Mohammed Fayçal Here is proof. Search for (Search for (Jesus was a real person, Proof outside of the Bible) here is the link to the video th-cam.com/video/NbEdbvUT8U4/w-d-xo.html the video is about non Christian historians who lived in the time of JESUS who mentioned JESUS in their books Listen and see what they said about him and And the miracles he performed. Including his death and resurrection from the dead and that he was GOD. But they did not believe in those who were eyewitness to Jesus who said that he is GOD and that He got up from the dead. These are the only 2 things they did not believe about him. But they agree that he existed. JESUS did not come unexpectedly. The prophets that came hundreds of years before JESUS spoke about him. One of them is isaiah who came 800 years before JESUS. In isaiah 7:14 He said, a virgin shall give birth to a son and shall call his name immanuel which means God is with us. In isaiah 9:6 he said, For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah also called him a savior. In isaiah 59:20 he said, "The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem to buy back those in Israel who have turned from their sins," says the LORD. Then in the entire chapter of isaiah 53 he went on and told us how JESUS will die for our sins. Another prophet who also lived 800 years before JESUS was born spoke about JESUS. He said in micah 5:2, "As for you, Bethlehem of Ephrathah, even though you remain least among the clans of Judah, nevertheless, the one who rules in Israel for me will emerge from you. His existence has been from antiquity, even from eternity. And all other prophets who came before JESUS were all talking about him. How did they know about someone who is going to come to this world hundreds of years after they are gone? It was GOD who told them in visions. All these shows that you atheists are wrong by saying that JESUS never existed.

Here is the link to the video m.th-cam.com/video/uyBzlgnBGI0/w-d-xo.html and see the shocking truth about the beginning and the end of all things, humans, satan and demons. It is a terrible and fearful warning to all christians, buddhists, muslims, hindus, all people including atheists.
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.
she taught me that when you have nothing, you can still have yourself. and to have yourself is to have everything.
A gente nao tem nada mesmo, nem ninguém: só a nós mesmos

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 ...
Yes and I’m 79 years young…back in the day this was my music…I’m so blessed
You were blessed

1968 I was 4 years of age and I'm still loving this song, PURE CLASS, it will never get old. Nina Simone, Legend.
Who is listening in 2021? Timeless great song!
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
yo
I’m currently living in her hometown, Tryon NC, and she is revered here.
Some artists should really never die.
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?
She is THE fucking QUEEN!
I am a white Russian boy, who was born in 1995 - it's 62 years after she was.
We couldn't be more different. But still, for me, she is THE QUEEN.
And you have taste!!!
красивая, да?
Spanjop your right men
For french white boy too! We are the world bro.
I'm a black cameroonian who lives in paris and was born in 2002 so it's 69 years after she was no doubt 'bout that she is THE QUEEN
Quelle classe... Nina, toujours dans nos cœurs !
La liberté, c'est vivre sans peur, disait t'elle..
This was one of the songs that kept me going when i was homeless for 10years.
THANK YOU NINA!
The voice of hope❣❣
@shithead2415 beautifull. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌠🐈
Obrigado nina Simone sério obrigado 😔😔😔😔

This is the anthem to my life.
Yes same
+Lauren Forster (Ceruleanswim) x2
+Cameron Cook hahhahaaha were drunk and youve made us even more merrier!

This is a really great song for someone with depression. It doesn't try to gloss over it or paint over it. It takes you all the way down before it tries to light you up. That's the only way you can even hope to pull someone out of that darkness...you gotta meet them there first.
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..
This is my whole mood 2024. No friends, no love, no job, nada but this song conveys that unexplainable feeling of having nothing but at the same time knowing that having yourself is all you really got
Same here!
У меня тоже самое
Everything comes from within.
You are love
YES
Best song for a depressed person to hear. When it's all bleak, you still have power and hope.
O yes you do and Nina knew it
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.
This song literally contains a spirit to live, and its hope gives me freedom. Thank you, Nina
❤ I agree
Having nothing is terrible but it's also a very reconforting feeling of meaningless and freedom
I was depressing at the beginning. but she acknowledged that she has Life. and that's the best blessing from God.
You see in her face and in her voice ,she lives the song.
Getloud now Search for (The Wicked Music Industry (Full Documentary) on youtube or click the link to the video here m.th-cam.com/video/HarwRm29UkQ/w-d-xo.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
I want people to understand that this song is not about her or merely about being happy. This was written by Nina specifically and metaphorically a song for black people, she began by describing the status of black people in society especially in those times of the 60s and 70 who were fighting and facing harsh realities of stereotypes, abuse and racism. Blacks were viewed as and treated as the people who 'ain't got no [insert numerous stereotypes word]' which she mentioned in the beginning of the song and then she responds with the virtues of what (we the blacks do have) and still have even after all was taken, restricted, raped and denied of us. She highlights that we the black people. We have our freedom! You are no longer slaves, we are free. We have soul, health, joy, stamina and eternal virtues no one can ever take from us (despite the fact they tried to take it all from us, 'we still have') despite the labels placed on us, despite the discrimination, racism and the things we have endured and have had taken from us and deprived of us we indeed and infact actually still have all the things that truely matter. The things which cannot be taken; Our power, our dignity, our joy, our rhythm, our soul, our life (spiritually and physical)...etc
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
Nina Simone is keeping people alive beyond the grave. I needed to hear this. When I have nothing, I still have me.
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.th-cam.com/video/EhJGUHkFKuU/w-d-xo.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.th-cam.com/video/fGO9KmwQ6WU/w-d-xo.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.th-cam.com/video/rBctdMqClYI/w-d-xo.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.

this song makes me cry, happy and sad at the same time
+thelouisfanclub same to me, great song

+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.

Damm! Me too.
Me too!
She gives us great humanity
I feel, this is the best comment here
You’re not crying over the song, but yourself.
Nina is one of the coolest women in history.
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.♥
The meaning of Nina is: "Darling, dear, little girl, lovely eyed, bejeweled, and slender, little one. The precious talent from the most high God." Thank you, Nina! 🙏💖🏺🌊✨️
Poet, diplomat,advocate,revolutionary artist. What couldn’t she do? We’ll never see another Nina again in our lifetime.❤😂❤
This song always makes me grateful to be alive.
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
This is an anthem. This song is just so... It means so much to me. When I discovered it I was not going through my best moments, and this woman managed to make me lift my head and look at the future knowing that it doesn't matter what happens, I will never lose my track, cause I got myself, I got my freedom and I ant giving it up. Thank you, really. This song is trmendously necessary for anyone whoso is going through hard times. Thank you Nina for coming into this world. Thank you for providing us with this. Thank you
Yes, she truly is an inspiration to us all! I love your comment because I love seeing how much she has inspired other people besides me.

I love the way everything is imperfectly perfect. First time hearing this
Simone was denied from the music school she trained her whole life for (she was a classically trained pianist) because it was a whites only school. But she conquered it to become someone known as the ‘Goddess of Soul’, what a legend, pioneer, genius.✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽 her bio pic on Netflix is inspirational✨
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.
My chest moooves.. with my heart inside when this wonderful woman sings joy.. joy.. joy! 🎵🎹🎶🎤
The turn of emotion at 2:13 is amazing. It turns the song in its head. If you're like me, you think it's a sad song, then all of a sudden life seems worth living
Como deve ter sido difícil uma mulher com tremenda consciência de sua negritude cantar para plateias quase sempre de pessoas brancas. Além disso era duma competência que extrapolava as mulheres de seu tempo. Meu tributo a Nina Simone.... simplesmente de um talento descomunal.
Tem no youtube uma entrevista de Nina Simone na BBC sobre esse assunto:
th-cam.com/video/8olEruTT_io/w-d-xo.html
Cara Márcia, os ingleses diferente dos americanos tinham imenso respeito pelos músicos negros dos EUA, o próprio Quincy Jones disse certa vez que os britânicos eram mais estudiosos da musica negra americana que os próprios americanos. Beatles, Stones, The Who e Animals regravaram inúmeras canções de artistas da Black Music e da Montown mas sempre rendendo o devido crédito a eles. Simone sabia disso por isso se apresentou varias vezes aos londrinos. O engraçado é que hoje um povo que já foi tão receptivo quanto os britânicos aprovam leis anti imigração.
É verdade!
@@canaldomercedinho7412 Exatamente o que eu queria dizer.
Os britânicos não são racistas como os americanos. Ser uma pessoa negra na Europa naquela época ainda era mil vezes melhor que ser uma pessoa negra no Brasil dos dias de hoje.
Such a beautiful, soulful song.
RIP Nina
1933-2003
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.
@@milesjolly6173 spot on, I've come here having heard that version and wanted to hear this one, glad its not just me!
@@YAHUSHUAISLORD468 fuck off wanker
Sad that she died 8 months before I was born...
wish she was alive
Nina Simone always makes our feeling good....Thank you for your generosity and kindness....
I literally discovered Nina Simone today and I could not be more happy to hear this woman sing (and pretty bummed to discover her so late in my own life). She's absolutely amazing.
Same. Recent discoverer, though I'd heard at least two of her songs, I think, before
Better late then never thank God there are plenty of new things every day
I just love her..
She is the best. If you haven’t heard “Who Am I?” check that one out, one of my favs
You should watch "the story of OJ" by JayZ bro.
It samples "4 women", amazing song!
Love how unique her voice is and how her music just sticks with you forever one you hear it for the first time. I even did a research paper on her and that made me love her more! Nina is so inspirational and down to earth. She might be in heaven now but her music will always remain in my heart.
why not forget ?
this gave me hope...I need to love myself more and stay true to myself no matter what.:)
Saw this artist in the Stadium South Circular Road Dublin on two appearances and she had the greatness to inspire and uplift the human soul. What it is to be alive to experience such a wonder. A real fighter for justice for her people and the rest of us. Deep respect
So once upon a time, I was at the lowest point in life, I took this song, made it my anthem and digested it. This song became strength, then the table turned. Now it's all over, here I am listening to this masterpiece and just chill.
Well done ❤
Yes, congratulations!
Hey it’s her birthday today. God I just love her!
Amazing woman
Happy Birthday, angel... God bless you forever
mine too feb 21st :)
3000Mm
I loveee she!!
She put all the pain .....a hundred and more years worth into one song. And millions heard her. Masterpiece.
susan leitch 👍so true
did she play tennis?
Diosa
Marsh Sherrif huh
Directly from Brazil!!! I love this song!
Goosebumps. By far the best and most intelligent female singer songwriter ever. Born wise.
The main theme of this song is not about what you ain't got, but about what you have that no one can ever take from you.
Very well said
@@ashleyflint3700 Thank you.
@@Dermacrosis the sad thing is that they can (and will) take everything from us if we don't fight them.
@@sitaroutreachministry6289 Said by someone who has no clue about what no one can take from someone. I suggest you reach adulthood before commenting and if you are over 18 then maturing to the level to know there are things no one can ever take from you.
@Dragon Tail Actually they can not. I suggest you actually listen to the lyrics hun.
This is as real as it gets, ladies and gentelmen. One does not possess voice of this sense until the meaning behind it screams life. This song, this performance, gives me shivers. Puts a lump in my throat, a tear in my eye... everytime. Wow, those lyrics... just... wow.
《Thee Sweet Science》 she makes me feel love for her hear
Such a beautiful song. No matter what I'm going through. I guess I still have breath in my lungs and people that still love me.
I'm only 31 years old and I love this woman ! Her voice is so beautiful
i am 11
you definitely win :)
I'm 45 and a half!
Only lmao
She is ever so elegant and the message behind her song is mind blowing. We often forget to worship the most important thing we have, our life, our bodies, ourselves.
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..
"Ain't got no money, ain't got no class".
This woman is in the top 1% when it comes to class.
Yeah. That time society didn't see that tho..
she means social class.
not that she is not ''classy''.
David Harrold do you even know her fight or are you another one of the protected !!!
This song emodies multiple struggles still going on today.
Wspaniala chwala Jej!
Que dire si ce n'est que c'est magnifique. J'en ai des frissons tant c'est sublime.
The Netflix documentary was one of the best docu's I've seen. Nina was definitely an orginal artist.
+Alex Mac Is there a netflix documentary of her? What is it called?
***** yea..What happened miss simone?
@@an9513 Watch the documentary suggested.
Holy shit, never heard this before and its amazing! Damn I need more!
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
just discovered Nina Simone. I'm hooked
Welcome aboard. She's the best,
Still there? No going back after Nina unparalleled heart and soul.
Same here! She is absolutely incredible, I too am hooked!
Most powerfull song ever. Imagine what Mankind could achieved if every soul truly experience the meaning of this song ❤
Nina Simone herself strongly believed into the divine power of art to bring peace. This song is a gift from God
Caraleo... A mulher arrebenta! E a letra, digamos, é tão simples e tão verdadeira!
Bem isso!!!!!!!!!!
suPeR . ♡
+Julia Lopez chega a arrepiar
Nina Simone tem uma história bem peculiar. Grande cantora, pianista, radical defensora dos direitos dos negros nos anos 60. Saiu em 2015 um ótimo documentário sobre a vida dela, imperdível. Tem no Netflix.
verdade. Ela me emociona
Who's listening in 2020 and loving it?
Your mom
I'm listening to it in 2020, but this type of older song isn't really my style (I like songs by artists like Louis Armstrong), I respect it though.
@@chocov1233 that's fair.
me
Desde Mexico escuchando !!
Demoralizing and uplifting at the same time - What a masterpiece
#word
Exactly!!
I’m writing my own updated lyrics and I want to put out a cover when I have everything the way I want it. This rendition means so much to me. ❤ I’m so glad Nina shared her gifts and message with the world
When ever i feel down or not feeling anything i listening to this song. So uplifting. Thank you Nina. You are a truly blessed Angel to the people who have nothing but the courage to live and dare. I love you.
I just discovered this. The saddest and sweetest song ever! My eyes well up every time I hear this. Imagine the depths of existential loneliness one would have to experience to even write such words. Then to hit it out of the ballpark with saying yes to life.
❤
This song is the perfect epitome of GRATITUDE! And focusing on what YOU DO HAVE!!! I follow The Secret and law of attraction and this is just a beautiful song that reminded me of it. ❤🙌
Absolutely agree
Beautiful Nina, unique Nina, and lady with beautiful music with intelligent lyrics.
tu parles anglee
First time I hear this.
And She just sang about my entire life
I cant stop crying
🙌❤❤❤❤❤❤
Stay strong sure you can
Seyid0Riza you will just fine I promise ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
People are going to rise up together more and more ... a movement where you matter. You should always matter. You do matter. We stand with you and if you fall ... we will hold you up.
Jenny Stahl Sounds cliche, but I suppose most things that matter in this life do. So, I agree
I can't listen to this song without having goosebumps all over my body. Nina was a genius.
This particular track got me through the toughest time in my life. And has guided me ever since..Externally grateful ❤❤
This is such a heavy song !!! Whenever I feel down I listen to this and feel better ... I've got life !!!
"What have I got? Why am I alive anyway?"
That break really slays me...then she turns on a dime to the answer.
Just brilliant.
This is radical self love. Bless up Nina.
Louis Armstrong
communism sucks though
Thank you Nina. Every time I get very depressed I just listen to this absolute masterpiece my hearts melts. There's nobody in this world not even god that could help me in those gloomiest times only me. I'm pushing myself. I LOVE YOU NINA You are a inspiration why I'm still going...:)

2021 and she’s ever so great. This is music. This is freedom. This is Nina Simone. Respect.
my dear

wonderful in every aspect
The lyrics are so poetic & beautiful, universal. Still listen to the HAIR original & movie soundtrack and is exactly this. EXACTLY!! So blown away!!! How did I miss this?!
NINA. I love you ever & always. Thank you!!
When I'm feeling real low I come here and this beautiful lady picks me back up.. Thank you so much Miss Simone.

Who's listening in quarantine?
good luck
Eu
good luck 🌈
Good luck brother
Boa sorte, do Brazil
I'm here, from Hungary.
Merveilleuse, un rayon de soleil, juste un moment de bonheur, merci.
Wow 53 years later and it’s the most uplifting song I’ve ever listened to
Nina was a very courageous woman and became a LEGEND!
The kids talk about freedom like something free to use, and forget that heroes need pay a lot of for it. Freedom is always about responsibility. You are the owner, and so you are the responsible person 😊
The most amazing and politically important artist we've had in many generations to come. You were and still are still the best Nina Simone!
I find Nina Simone seen in a 14 year old video to be a strong, charismatic, and a powerful Queen. When she performs I can’t take my eyes off of her!

Lord you could hear the pain and sincerity in her voice. One of the Greats.
It’s a great and beautiful song .im from Africa (Senegal ) I’m Black and Proud 💪🏿💪🏿
Mohammed Fayçal Here is proof. Search for (Search for (Jesus was a real person, Proof outside of the Bible) here is the link to the video th-cam.com/video/NbEdbvUT8U4/w-d-xo.html the video is about non Christian historians who lived in the time of JESUS who mentioned JESUS in their books Listen and see what they said about him and And the miracles he performed. Including his death and resurrection from the dead and that he was GOD. But they did not believe in those who were eyewitness to Jesus who said that he is GOD and that He got up from the dead. These are the only 2 things they did not believe about him. But they agree that he existed.
JESUS did not come unexpectedly. The prophets that came hundreds of years before JESUS spoke about him. One of them is isaiah who came 800 years before JESUS. In isaiah 7:14 He said, a virgin shall give birth to a son and shall call his name immanuel which means God is with us.
In isaiah 9:6 he said, For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah also called him a savior. In isaiah 59:20 he said, "The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem to buy back those in Israel who have turned from their sins," says the LORD.
Then in the entire chapter of isaiah 53 he went on and told us how JESUS will die for our sins.
Another prophet who also lived 800 years before JESUS was born spoke about JESUS. He said in micah 5:2, "As for you, Bethlehem of Ephrathah, even though you remain least among the clans of Judah, nevertheless, the one who rules in Israel for me will emerge from you. His existence has been from antiquity, even from eternity.
And all other prophets who came before JESUS were all talking about him. How did they know about someone who is going to come to this world hundreds of years after they are gone? It was GOD who told them in visions.
All these shows that you atheists are wrong by saying that JESUS never existed.
Do I know you???? Just wondering
C'est l'une des meilleures chansons. J'espère que ça va aller mieux au Sénégal.
Seriously who cant love this song?
Simon Piller
People who ain't got no life

This super classic 🎉🎉🎉 never let i sweat never let this die , 23 years and m'y grandma was play this all the Time 😢😢😢
She's an underrated genius.....love her charismatic serious glance
More of a glare
Sara Fathi Please search for a 14 minutes video called (The Great White Throne Judgement by Jesus Christ The Son of God - Day of Judgement) on youtube. Here is the link to the video m.th-cam.com/video/uyBzlgnBGI0/w-d-xo.html and see the shocking truth about the beginning and the end of all things, humans, satan and demons. 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.
