Unbelievable. Nina took one of the most bathetic, unlistenable pieces of schlock in pop music history and transformed it into nothing less than a living work of genius -- a no-holds-barred exercise in soul-bearing.

NIna took no prisoners.

@jazzmanchgo ,..Indeed! This really is the most pessimistic expression of “Love” that I have ever heard in a song!.

Trust Nina!

[kronk99]

You can hear her playing on this one....She is going in---This is how you vent and grieve in song....That pentatonic motif is cracking me up; musical irony all up and through this one....Nina the genius....

[SuperXavier30]

@kronk99,.Genius indeed!. Not so sure about the scales, but am I alone in hearing rattling bangles!?

Love Nina Simone. Great song. btw: great disc-cover.

[SuperXavier30]

@bathory1234567890 ,.This song still hits hard, with its simplistic words and melody! ..and I so agree, an incredible painting by Gabriel Jarnier...

Thanks for passing by!

The loneliness of the Simple Piano Cords playing and nothing else accompanying them enhanced the simple sad emptiness expressed in her Lyrics. What more can be said. Thank you for sharing with us.

@jazzmanchgo What a load of bullshit. The original is a classic in it's own right. Utter garbage.

[GNRROX2234]

@SuperXavier30 Nope, I heard the bangled rattling as well. I thought I might have been going crazy. :P

[MrBranchFreeman]

@jazzmanchgo I'd like to respectfully disagree. Although I appreciate Nina's genius, and the lyrics here are beautidul, one has to realize that the wonderful harmonies and rhythm of this were not hers, but O'Sullivan's. Keep in mind also that she must of appreciated the original piece to want to write another based on it.

@jazzmanchgo Something tells me you come from the planet Retard

"Fodder on the wings", 1982, of course.

One of her last and less known albums.

@discopoet

nina simone is my counsillor

[discopoet]

I love Nina too much to say anything really bad about her but this song is a little too sad for me. It is indicative of a troubled life. She still remains top in my opinion. milasmom

[warrenmrogers]

@jazzmanchgo On top of that, this work has been reinterpreted several times over. I wonder if Nina would share your opinion. People don't normally embrace "schlock" and infuse it with their own ideas, they discard it and start from scratch.

[warrenmrogers]

@jazzmanchgo Sorry, I genuinely enjoy the original. I hadn't heard it until recently, and I wasn't alive during it's context, but I love the Gilbert O'Sullivan version. This one is touching as well. I'm disappointed in your evaluation of a man's music. It is fine to have your own tastes, but to attack an artist's work is ridiculous. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? So fuck off.
