Greatest and most powerful love song ever.

@jensmusicfaves You might be surprised you know, there's a lot of kids out there who might restore your faith. I run free arts workshops with kids aged 10-16 and on speaking to them about their music tastes I was pleasantly surprised. There was even a Thelonious Monk fan among them - don't make a snap judgement on the young uns - they're not all uncultured, over-produced-pop-aholics. :)

This is the most haunting/affecting of Nina Simone's songs, for me at least. (I actually discovered the original Johnny Mathis version through this one.. I like it, too, but there is no other song like Nina's WitW.)
Maybe a few kids listening to "Feeling Good" (another great song, don't get me wrong) will discover and have their lives changed by this incomparable track. Nah. Until Lady Gaga covers it, won't happen. :| ;)

Love me love me love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
with you
For my love is like
the wind
And wild is the wind

No one expressed the pain of love more poignantly than Nina.....she had tears in her voice.

The best version. Not only does she sing it, but she's playing the piano, too. You can hear her classical training. First time I heard this recording, years ago, I sat and played it again and again and again. I couldn't believe what Miss Simone had done.
