There’s some music that you hear for the first time, and love immediately. You put it on repeat. It slowly rises in play count, and then you get sick of it. You might rediscover it in a few months, and it’ll be listenable again, but the music will never have the magic it did when first you listened to it.
Then, there’s music that grows on you, one song at a time. You may not love it when you first hear it because there’s something you don’t understand about it. And then it clicks, and it becomes a part of your life, never really growing old, never fading in your favor, never loosing the magic with which it once possessed you, but rather gaining soul as the play count rises. Nina Simone does this for me. She just makes me happy! Even the House remixes done by Thievery Corporation are amazing!
Her voice is timeless. Her deep, almost masculine croon, heavy, it seems, with sadness, making her slow songs so poignant, and her faster songs, in turn, all the more full of life. She comforts me on a good day or on a bad as she sings Here Comes the Sun... little darlin'! It seems she has been through and knows so much more than me but even so, each song seems like it was meant for me. That's how her music has always made me feel. Very personal! It's capturing and I come back to her time and time and time again. I got my moments, I got my music and I got my Nina playing loud... heart, soul... heart, soul.
