Nina Simone Don't Explain

[CallMeMrMiyagi]

Nina you give me chills every time.

[wwathisthen]

Stop, please with the infantile, "This is boring, someone else does it better." Fine, you like another version. Go listen to it. Or learn to appreciate that there can be more than one great cover of a great song.

[animefreakjay]

i love this song but its so depressing...idk why i like songs like this that just speak to da emotions and put you in moods wtf =[, dam cancer and mood swings from da moon

[TheJellyfishJ]

Drama.

[trailchoco]

[SurreyViolinHero]

Wonderful rendition from a wonderful and talented musican.

[cameronstl]

1 person wants to explain...

[MarcusWoody]

deep dark beauty

[Doxa91]

usualy i listen to rap, but this... pfouuu thats something...

[TarantulaMonarchy]

She holds all attention,

and it comes from a place farther than her voice.

[assureasthesunriver]

magnifique

[minish1]

Those of us who have loved understand. This is a crushingly beautiful song.

[rodrigocs666]

at least 10 thousand views are mine, that's for sure :)

[JuneGem75]

I just love her... And it seems like when you close our eyes and listen to her, you feel it even more.

[chicagolandtam]

I never understood why a woman would stay with the man knowing that he cheated. Now, I do. I get it. I don't recommend it but, I get it. Gotta luv Nina for schooling me.

[soycomik]

los guapos también lloramos

[bigdogman66]

Billie can't be touched on this song.

[boogaloo707]

this song is so beautiful,nina's voice is mesmerizing,thank you for this present

[portmerve]

thank god for givin us nina simone "for a big while"

[luvlaworld]

[mimilove752]

just great music

[ernk72]

Angela McCluskey, nina simone, billie holiday,and diana ross omg some great voices for this song just imagine all of then singing a verse omg pure bliss.

[phus2001]

Great Interpretation of this song by Billie!! Love Nina!!!

[nocalblkbear]

This is a perfect song for a moody Friday night

[OriginalBasaliskos]

I much prefer this one over Lady Day's. It's less sweet and more obsessive...in a way.

[meui10]

NINA... HOLD YOUR LYRICS CLOSE TO MY HEART ITS UNSPEAKABLE

[FeMOGUL]

beautiful...no chattering while we fans enjoy pure talent!

[MyohoSound]

@FeMOGUL

Some people have their ears in their mouths and are incapable of listening. Things should be normal don't you think ?

[TheRingwraith666]

She sounds like a man. This is a horrible cover. Her voice is shaky and nasally. Not enjoyable at all!

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@TheRingwraith666 She doesn't sound like a man at all. I don't know how many men you've ever talked to in your life.

[whatigot2say]

Yawn..........................­........... boring

[LeCaptainCap]

Billie H. was so great...but this time, Nina's version is the best...it's so beautiful...Thanks martineo25 for this gift!!!

[martineo25]

@LeCaptainCap

Gladly :)

[whatigot2say]

@LeCaptainCap this is no where near as good as Holiday's.. infact it's boring.

[sunidak]

@whatigot2say

Beside Billy Holiday, anybody is boring....

[whatigot2say]

@sunidak no this is the definition of boring .. double yawn..

[starofthesea58]

@LeCaptainCap .... WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS SONG , REALLY LISTEN , IT'S AMAZING, SHE SAY PEOPLE CHATTER, I KNOW YOU CHEAT , RIGHT AND WRONG DON'T MATTER , DON'T EXPLAIN, LISTEN THIS IS THE ART OF FORGIVENESS,WHEN WE LEARN TO FORGIVE LIKE THIS A LONGER AND A BETTER LIFE WE WILL LIVE, HUSH NOW DON'T EXPLAIN NINA SAYS! AMAZING

[pasquinirah27]

I love the Cat Power's version more than other one, but this one is good. And in my dreams "Don't Explain" was written by Cat Power, so I cry a lot when world comes to say that this isn't a Cat Power song.

I don't wanna be misunderstood, but I needed to tell it to somebody, maybe whole world.

[firitus]

@pasquinirah27 This version is good???? Nina Simone is the mother of jazz and blues!!! Cat Power is really good but there's no comparison, you don't need to cry for that enjoy the song instead :)

[pasquinirah27]

@firitus I didn't mean to say "good" underestimating the song or Nina( even because she is really amaizing, that impossible to refuse) :(

[mitesser80]

@pasquinirah27 This is the silliest comment I have ever seen on youtube...it's like saying " I cry when people tell me that chicken of the sea is not chicken but tuna fish." If Cat Power wrote this song in your dreams, you should only cry in your dreams, because you sound like you have some cups missing from your mental cabinet. Cat Power has some pretty songs, but she is no Nina nor is she a Billie. When Cat Powers music is as old as Nina and Billie's it will not be remembered.

[pasquinirah27]

@mitesser80 wow dude wait a minute, I know my comment was silly, very silly and I left it here coz I thought that nobody would really care for it. I don't really cry for these reasons, it was just some silly thing. Dude, let it be.

[Lameglioify]

Great song! Does anyone know where to find the chords for this?

[taariqtaariq]

@Lameglioify the jazz fake book and the jazz LTD book. There is a data Cd with all the classic jazz tunes on it going around, hunt for it on the web or ask a jazz musician for clue about where to get a copy.

[uradragon]

thanks for posting Nina's haunting rendition. thank you for all that you gave Ms. Simone.

[shortnsweetie87]

Is that Ms. Simone at 1:00? It's a beautiful picture.

[martineo25]

@shortnsweetie87

it's all her

[patticakes19]

@martineo25 That photo shows up when you google Nina Simone, but I actually think it's her daughter, lisa celeste stroud

[martineo25]

@patticakes19 well, than it's family at least

[margaritavlog]

@shortnsweetie87 thats not nina simone @ 1:00

[Deleonj76]

@shortnsweetie87 Its her daughter, a very beautiful woman!

[Monsidi]

Merci Thanks love that song..

[serenaluce]

It's really very beautiful and sad...Thanks for posting and angelialvares for sharing.

[CasaLucita]

Powerful. Goosebumps.

[angelialvares]

Wow! I don't think anyone could top this version.

[2812rsn]

Linda música pra uma magnífica cantora!Interpretação definitiva!!!!!!

[namcasithienphu]

simply the best version of "don't explain" I've ever heard. And that's a huge compliment, coming from an avid Billie Holiday fan.

[vedarenea]

This song makes me cry....so sad, and yet so beautiful.....hopelessly in love with a cheater....sad...

[seaofshe]

@vedarenea I know what you mean. I always told myself that I'd never stay with someone who cheated on me, but when she sings, "'Cause I know you cheat/ But right and wrong don't matter/ When you're with me, my sweet...." I understand. And it's so sad.

[handemete7]

this is it!!!



[TinaDaisyAdair]

Haunting...but very honest....and a bit too real !

[louise195801]

In love with a bastard!..sad :(

[louise195801]

In love with a Bastard! Sad.:(

[neo725]

this is a really good version but my fav is still damien rice version with lisa and haervy

[th59A]

♥adoro!

[daabruzo]

the mood and the feeling of nina its amazing

[JezzesKaresz2]

sírás!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maszlagma]

@JezzesKaresz2 én is...

[JezzesKaresz2]

sírááás!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fabricio76]

Nina Simone... this deep. sad and lovely version makes me feel so intense...

Great!

[bigjohnstone]

made me cry but ne me quitte pas remake from jacques brel did the same too. nina simone is one of the few who dont make remakes for nothing and from anyone.

[moriorlith]

This is one of the BEST cover ever made.

The way she play, the tempo, her improvisations and......that AWESOME Aminor!

In one word: Perfect.

[gabixoye]

OMG! this is amazing!! You can feel each word really deep!! LOVE IT! 

[durgaaa]

This song, no matter who sings it, is for a human doormat to sing. It speaks purely of being walked all over and allowing for more of it. What a pity that there are women everywhere who can call this thier anthem. Wow.

[loulou2lou]

She was in a class of her own.This is a great interpretation.

[ernk72]

omg this womans voice could sing a brothers check right out his pocket lol great vid

[deenice1973]

perfect

[Kaknelson]

♥ nina & billie ♥

[volemosalcielo]

Estremecedora

Genial ... sin palabras

my love don`t explain

C&P

[volemosalcielo]

Esta voz ..... este tema .... esa voz...

maravillosa Nina Simone

[sconcerto76]

falla anche tu MINA ti prego...

[travatori]

there is nothing to gain ♥

[beatsofsoultrain]

Cat Power version is very good too

[tr0mpi]

Nina Simone's trembling voice fits perfectly with this song. Check out Damien Rice's version. AMAZING.

[gtx36]

The Damien Rice version is actually Herbie Hancock featuring Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan, from his album 'Possibilities'.

[Kaknelson]

great album

[margaritavlog]

nina is amazing vocals and piano skills never another one like her :(

[geringergasse2]

Very interesting arrangement. I suppose Nina herself on the piano.But who is on the flute, on drums?

[margaritavlog]

honestly nina doesnt have much of a voice but her ability to interpret emotions and the quality of her voice makes her one of the great singers

[trepuskeguste]

@margaritavlog

totally agree with voice and interpret arguments.still one of best female singer ever

[fivetwonine]

@margaritavlog ??? what you said makes no sense what so ever. never seen anybody contradict them self using so little words

[margaritavlog]

@fivetwonine maybe you don't understand what im trying to say being able to interpret and sing are two different things nina doesnt have a great voice like an aretha franklin or a beautiful voice like a sarah vaughn but her ability to interpret and put true emotions into a song is what makes her great like for example billie holiday

[ExcellentChild]

This is so beautifully sad...

[86DaisyAdair]

I like this version better then Billie Holiday's version :) Thanks for loading it!

[volemosalcielo]

I love this video and Nina

me emociona mucho me hace llorar

[volemosalcielo]
