I honestly had no clue that these few videos had attained this many views. I didn't know this many people were interested in these gems. I'm so happy you enjoyed the songs, I love them dearly
I wouldn’t agree..... blue’s is just the art of storytelling.... blues isn’t always sad some forms of country music is considered blues..... blues is being able to understand or sympathize with/for a situation.... hence the term someone is going through or giving someone the blues.... in some instances the blues could be uplifting it’s a lasting lingering impression ..... it’s one of the reasons Brian McKnight “never felt this way” is one of my ultimate faves..... he’s giving the blues!!!!! A passionate excitement ..... if you’ve ever felt it, it’s an amazing feeling you never want to subside 💕
You don't know what love is Until you've learned the meaning of the blues Until you've loved a love you've had to lose You don't know what love is You don't know how lips hurt Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost You don't know what love is Do you know how lost heart feels At the thought of reminiscing And how lips that taste of tears Lose their taste for kissing You don't know how hearts burn For love that cannot live yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes You don't know what love is You don't know how hearts burn For love that cannot live yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes You don't know what love is What love is
Nic Tanghe. What does "heavily compressed" mean, and how is the vocalization affected. I would love to learn the difference in quality of tone between vinyl and CD's. I crawl around in old record shops to collect vinyl jazz mostly, and Cleveland Philharmonic but don't know if they are inferior to cd's. Thanx for any info you have (But Nina always sounds exquisite to me and her piano is surreal....
CDs (16-bit,44kHz samples) and vinyl are mastered differently and have different capabilities. Both are mastered with a different form of equalisation and distortion ! Indeed, a high frequency "dither noise" is added to CD recordings, to average out quantisation error. Vinyl can't handle high levels of high frequency (due to stylus cutting and playback mechanics) and older recordings respect that. Modern music production packs in treble, to sound loud on CD and downloads. To save money (by not needing a different master recording), the vinyl version is just distorted with equalisers or remixing with less comp/limiter effects. So vinyl tracks can sound different (because they are different), even under digital compression. DVDA and SACD were trying to go beyond both media (the dither would also be more hypersonic, at 96KHz sampling) ... but "nobody cared" ... they were all going portable and miniature at the time. The most capable public digital formats now are (24-bit, 96kHz) PCM tracks on Blu-ray. Vinyl comes with noise and that can cancel out fidelity (ref information theory, noisy lines, C.Shannon et al). RU-vid and other digital downloads digitally compress (not to be confused with compressor/limiters ... used to pack higher dynamic ranges into narrower ones) the audio data by dropping the least important detail. In the case of this soundtrack, the information lost will be details like breathing sounds, the band fidgeting and high frequency noises from cymbals and the like. Digital compression has preserved most of the character of Nina's voice. Indeed, digital audio compression mostly removes stuff we can't hear, whilst trying to preserve vocals. After some years of hi-fi experimentation, I find that the most important kit is your power amp and speakers. Bigger is better for the speaker but mostly for the amp. Cheap speaker cones and lazy amplifiers just flop around and distort to such a degree that you needn't worry about compression or dynamic range! With a proper amp, you might be able to hear some extra ambient sounds from vinyl or 24/96 digital as well as crisper instruments. It is mostly the amp and speakers which will bring the performance live into your room. I have "mid-fi" speakers and separate amp on this computer and Nina sounds magic, even on RU-vid. The raw power of her voice is penetrating (and generally amazing) ... even compressed (but perhaps not if you are listening on little headphones or monitor speakers).
C'est la plus belle femme que j'ai jamais entendu c'est une femme extraordinaire extraordinaire il y a pas moi dire la voix extraordinaire voilà bisous
For me,Nina Simone is the greatest female artist of all time.No one even comes close to her.A true musician who has discovered how to accompany her voice with her instrument.Amazing wow.
Abdelkader Ali: Both have rare style and emote in song, as opposed to Sarah Vaughn who se voice was operatic in scale: Billie and her ragged pathos: Nina who is intimate and seems to be talking directly to you...her stellar piano virtuosity makes her lyrics boldface... I Get along without you very well....Billie Lover Man, Gloomy Sunday...Fine and Mellow...blankets of wistful yearning
How do you feel about Lana Del Rey? I'm curious because I feel some/ a lot of her music is very similar. She is vocally and lyrically amazing just like Nina... Lana even covered "Don't let me be misunderstood" by Nina Simone on her second to last album honeymoon :) if you don't listen to her, maybe give it a shot!
We all are stars not by what humans ,say but our heavenly father says he loves us all, we not all meant to be rich or known by the world, just keep trying, you got this.
The first time hearing her was when I watched a, not great, Bridget Fonda movie, Point of No Return, which played some of her songs… BF’s character was named Nina because she would only listen to Nina Simone records-the character kind of had an obsession with Nina S’s music and she explained it which made sense. The music changed me. Nina Simone’s voice is so raw, passionate, penetrating… I never heard anything like it. I was hooked. At the time, I was a a kid; but even now, middle-aged, I still haven’t heard anything like it.
Ian Westdrop same! She's the best company for a bubble bath. She makes me want to paint. She makes me cry and I'm not a cryer ever. She breaks through somehow. I just adore her.
The greatest musical genius of SOUL music and beyond. Her voice and piano nurtures the song and leads you into an almost mystical place and then brings that world to a climatic end.
A voice that never, never will be replaced. This was the final voice for a society of equality and love. Thank you NINA. Rest in peace. Thank your for your gift. I wish I had met you. Yet I have your voice and phrasing to show me how a brilliant musican says it all ....and penetrates a human heart.
I discovered her in 2015 but since that moment I have been captivated by her magnificent voice and inspiring activism. A long life regret is that I will never get to see her live.
Beautiful art, great strength, a superb character, a beauty of such depth, Nina is quite glorious here. The mesmerising beat and subtle message of painful attraction...it makes one want to know the impossibility of relief, of love.
Extacy... how I miss good music and how tragic that this generation will never know good, tantalizing, mind bending, exotic music...Thank you for posting!
Eu aqui no Brasil nunca vou te esquecer viu Senhora Nina Simone. Eu cresci ouvindo suas músicas com sua linda voz assim como vc é uma linda Mulher incrível não te ouvir e não chorar de emoção. Gratidão pela sua existência aqui. 📺🎧🎤📻🎧🇧🇷🎺🎸🎻
You don't know what love is Til you've learned the meaning of the blues Until you've loved a love you've had to lose You don't know what love is You don't know how lips hurt Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost You don't know what love is Do you know how a lost heart fears /The thought of reminiscing And how lips that taste of tears Lose their taste for kissing You don't know how hearts burn For love that cannot live yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes You don't know what love is You don't know how hearts burn For love that cannot live yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes You don't know what love is
This song describes how I have been feeling for the past 3 months. I have been in it thick. Slowly my blues are diminishing but this song describes it perfectly “…faced each dawn with sleepless eyes…” Absolutely.
Nina Simone is one of our many blues/jazz singers of all time. Listen to this entire playlist, you'll never feel alone. She's my favorite too.ilyb💎💎💎💎👑
she also sang- I QUOTE, you need to know when to leave the table when LOVE IS No longer being served..... she can deliver a lyric better than most singers.
Tú no sabes lo que es el amor, hasta que entiendes el significado del blues; hasta que amas a alguien a quien debes perder. Tú no sabes cómo duelen los labios, hasta que has besado y pagado el precio; hasta que apuestas el corazón y lo pierdes. ¿Sabes qué se siente un corazón perdido? Recordar tiempos pasados, e ir notando como las lágrimas van borrando de tus labios el antiguo sabor a otros besos... Tú no sabes cómo quema el corazón por un amor que dejó de vivir pero que aún no muere, hasta que encaras el amanecer con ojos insomnes... Tú no sabes lo que es el amor...
blues refiere a tristeza.. en ingles la palabra blue significa tristeza, por lo que la frase refiere a: '' no sabes lo que es el amor, hasta que hayas aprendido el significado de la tristeza''
Thanks for sharing this hauntingly beautiful version of this song! Nobody does it justice like Nina Simone!! She caresses each lyric in a playful, loving way. ENCHANTING/MESMERIZING!!!💕💯
Love is without boundaries or limitations, without conditions or expectations, it isn't what you think it is, or what you've been conditioned to believe. If there is one thing I could tell you about love, it is this: you don't know what love is. When you feel my kind of love, even 'evil' is necessary to further the Love of SELF!
Love of self is good, but when you love yourself but also others, sometimes it's complicated. I'm in love with two persons. My boyfriend, whom I love calmly, quietly, and with whom I have started building things, and my friend, whom I love madly and would have started something if I was still in a poly lifestyle. But I couldn't bear the poly lifestyle anymore because it's too much processing and I need bandwidth for my studies and jobs. I don't have time for love, dammit. But love doesn't care and it's been difficult for me to eat for four days, because your body and your hormones do not fucking care about your priorities and I don't know what to do with all these pieces of heart and shards of emotions. Things will get better, I guess. If not worse. Maybe, who knows.
@@erikadavis4696 So let's give some credit to the guy who DID write it - Don Raye. An amazing man. Wrote everything from Haikus to The House of Blue Lights.
