Nina Simone – That’s All I Want From You

Our little love slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
Thats all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up to the sky
Another day that comes and dies
Thats all I want from you

Dont let me down, oh show me that you care
Remember when you give, you always get your share
Dont let me down, I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come, when dreamers dream too late

Our little love slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
Thats all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up to the sky
Another day that comes and dies
Thats all I want from you

Dont let me down, oh show me that you care
Remember when you give, you always get your share
Dont let me down, I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come, when dreamers dream too late

Our little love slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
Thats all I want from you

Nina Simone, The Desperate Ones

“Solitaria mi arrampico tra le ultime note,
spalanco i ricordi, firmamento di suoni
sotto il manto oscuro della melodia,
aspiro il desiderio e ti riascolto…
candore colorato dai forti riflessi”

Disegno e versi di AliceYDulcinea

Nina Simone: la bambina e la stella

Da bambina Eunice Waymon sognava una carriera da concertista classica; non immaginava quei bar di serie B ad Atlantic City dove cantò con la sua voce travolgente per anni. Lì nacque Nina Simone, la stessa donna che calcò i palchi del Greenwich Village degli anni Sessanta, nell’era d’oro del jazz newyorkese, per poi inseguire promesse di felicità a Barbados, in Liberia e in Francia. L’autore della biografia, David Brun-Lambert, ha riportato in esergo le parole di Isadora Duncan, tratte da La mia vita: «Non c’è nessun Dio, c’è solo la tua anima ad aiutarti».

Dice Matthew Shipp: “then I heard Nina Simone on TV, and both of them rocked my world completely

And you first got into jazz when you were twelve? Anything particular spark your…?

Yeah, I heard Ahmad Jamal on TV, then I heard Nina Simone on TV, and both of them rocked my world completely.

Really? What was it about the…?

Nina Simone? It was just this dark, dark ambiance she had that really attracted me. I was into horror films also, so it was almost like the musical equivalent of the horror films. I was really into it, and there was just something so dark but yet so resonant about her, and I really just enjoyed her touch on the piano, ’cause there was something about her. I didn’t, like, put this into words in my head, but when I do an archeology of what actually went through my mind, I think what fascinated me about it was when she played, it was just Nina Simone music. And I could tell that she had classical training, I could tell that she knew the blues, I could tell that she had an understanding of folk music because she covered some Bob Dylan songs or whatever. But whatever she played, it became her idiom; it was like—bam!—it was Nina Simone music, and it was almost like she transcended idioms and was just this strong personality in and of herself. So, without knowing that was what attracted me to it, I think that was what really drew me into her world, plus the actual physics of it, like the darkness of it.
