      Yes, learning the only ‘genuine’ love there is is Gods.
      It’s not that I love God but that he FIRST loved me…it’s His love!
      Praying we can all grow in the knowledge of how much He loves us! For in His love IS life and peace!
      👆🏼🙏♥️

      Hey, I’m crying right now, too, and this is the first time I’ve heard the Nina Simone version! She was amazing. I didn’t know this existed. I am divorced too. You are not alone.
      Maybe you will notice that when the alcohol wears off, the pain is still there. I sure notice! For me, it has been best to face that pain, feel that pain, and ask God to hold my hand while I try to walk through it and make it to the light.
      Also, alcohol interacted with a med-not sure which one it was-it gave me insomnia. I quit.
      However, I never underestimate the value of a good cry. This song is so gorgeous, I had one of those good cries!

      Do yourself a favor and look up HERE COMES THE SUN. Her vocals and piano solo take that song to another level. I've enjoyed that piece for 30 years now and never tire of it.
      Her performances in the SUMMER OF SOUL documentary was otherworldly!!
      Strange Fruit is ... the lyrics alone are enough to elicit tears-- Nina owns that song; you cannot deny the hurt, anger, pain ... the incomprehensible act of lynching another human being...
      So many have done justice in singing that piece; I would suggest you listen to any of her many recorded versions.
      If you want a good started album, you could start with THE BEST OF... from a reputable record co (one she recorded for would be the best bet).
      Then, move on to her live music.
      She was electric (most times) live. What a force.
      I hope her discography brings you as much joy (musically) and elicits as many deep, thoughtful, and important emotions-- (many with great joy!), as her discography brings to and elicits within me.
      I'm happy you have discovered the genius of Nina Simone.

      @@shaunaevans755 When reading her autobiography, even thought it is written from her point of view, you guess that it was difficult for her daughter to go through all these changes. What make you excuse here is when you realize most man in her life gave her everything at the begining but took everything by the end. She was going on board a rollercoaster of emotions, she was not driving her life. She just wanted to focus on playing the piano, she became a star before she even realized, and she trusted other people too much.

    A love so rare. How was it that she would know years before my lover and I were to meet, that no song like this would bring about the perfect kiss for us to find in each others arms. Nina Heals, and perfect Love saves from half way distant around the Globe. Come on, people Love one another and receive the gift. Believe with your whole heart, the Divine Infinity 'G', and diligently search for that moment when 'G' will bestow upon you the perfect Love that is now hers and mine.

    Lived with you
    Lived with you
    There's a way
    Everybody say
    Do each and every little thing
    What good does it bring
    If I ain't got you? (If I ain't got you)
    Ain't got you If (I ain't got you)

    You ain't got to be so blind
    And I'm so blind, so blind
    But I'm a woman
    Can't you see what I am?

But…I wouldn’t be so certain that you like her more than I do - I’d consider Nina Simone to be in a class of her own, with her unique voice and style. Some vocalists sound similar to others, but not her! I’m almost 70 yrs old now and ❤️ ALL genres of music! The age of a song/artist doesn’t matter - it’s all about the talent of the person, and nothing else imo. I’ve enjoyed the other ones Nina’s done (those I’ve been able to find) at the same live concert too. *** In a way she reminds me of Etta James and Edith Piaf in that they are all classic and timeless, and while there are many ‘covers’ that others have done on their versions, they don’t come close.

      Great comment! Here's an English translation (using school French - c'etait compulsaire a mon ecole!):
      "This is a voice of gold, an incredible pianist, a queen, that everybody in the world should hear at least once in their lives. A pure moment of happiness."
      Nina Simone struggled in life, and her bipolar disorder was coming out in her concerts later on in Montreux etc. It was also sad that she had to live out her days in France and Switzerland after feeling rejected by her homeland, but I hope she was happy there in her own way. I think her early formal classical training was part of her greatness - something today's crappy pop musicians almost never have, which makes them forgettable in 10 years. La Reine entiere!
