Do you know how it feels to be free?  |
| |
| Nina Simone is one of my favorite artists of all time. If she's not number one then she's at least in the top three. I found this video of her describing how it feels to be free and I am even more impressed by this very strong and talented woman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSUlgOzARy4 I enjoy listening to her music. Her voice soothes and moves me. And her message, you can hardly get that from any musician nowadays. Here's one of my favorite songs by Nina Simone: http://www.youtube.com/wa... I wish I knew how it would feel to be free I wish I could break all the chains holding me I wish I could say all the things that I should say Say 'em loud say 'em clear for the whole round world to hear I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart Remove all the bars that keep us apart I wish you could know what it means to be me Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free I wish I could give all I'm longin' to give I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live I wish I could do all the things that I can do And though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew. Do you know how it feels to be free? How does it feel like? | | | | | |

| | Yes, crisp, she was bitter in many ways. I think she never really got the appreciation and recognition that she deserved when she was still alive. I love love Sinnerman, Forbidden Fruit, Go Limp, Sugar in my Bowl, Mississippi Go**amn, Lilac Wine, Some Say, Feeling Good... the list would go on... | | | |

| | I didn´t know anything about Nina Simone. Now I´ll go learn. The lyrics you wrote were berautiful. Fortunatly, Iknow what it´s like to be free. I have always lived in a place where I was respected and where I was taught to respect. And I feel that is the beginning of freedom. | | | | | | |

| | The lyrics were written by another jazz musician, Billy Taylor but when Nina Simone sings it out, it's like she really feels the whole message. Thank you for your definition of freedom, atacamaval. Yes, you are quite very fortunate to feel free. | | | |

| | When I was into feeling sorry for myself I might have asked a question like that. Are you feeling sorry for yourself Ms Saintly? We are all free. Some of us have just forgotten that fact and feel trapped by society or whatever. Of course there is a vested interest out there that would have us believing that we are not free but I no longer pay them any mind. Nina Simone had a fantastic voice and sure knew how to use it, but I find her music pretty depressive. | | | | | | |

| | "Ain't Got No, I Got Life" is a pretty uplifting song. Some of her other songs like "Strange Fruit" aren't exactly a bundle of laughs but they still manage to lift my mood. | | | |

| | On the contrary, Ziggy, just listening to Nina Simone make my day better. I don't think I am feeling sorry for myself but yes, I am a bit worried because the feelings that I thought I have gotten over are starting to creep up again. You are one of the free-est person I know Ziggy. Forbidden Fruit and Go Limp has a "happy" tune but the message itself is not. | | | |

| | sometimes when i am disgruntled about something,my parents always used to tell me that i am misusing the freedom,that i am taking my freedom for granted.they would often tell me about their grandparents,when they didnot have even the freedom of speech,before india became a free country. | | | | | | |

| | The younger generation would always have it so easy, riyasam. Without the strength and the bravery of women who worked decades ago to fight for our rights, then we may still not be able to do a lot of things that we want and can. Thanks, riyasam. Take care. | | | |

| | Did you mean heat or heart, Mimpi? And did you get to find the great Nina Simone. I absolutely agree with what you said about being free... I guess the only thing that is different between us is what those shackles may include... I hope you're feeling much more on the up today, Mou. | | | |

| | well i really must say that i dont know nina simone and i wish i could watch the video but curretly i really cant..... but i should say that i have a total different meaning for the word free.... just the other day me and my dad after we came back from my riding club ( i am a horse rider) were talking about the spirit of the horse and how the horse feels under our burden on its back and the bit in its mouth,..... and i finally came to the realisation that when i am on top of a horse and he is galloping under me..... thats when i feel free.... thats what i would call freedom... | | | | | | |

| | Hello Shonali. Sorry for the late reply. SO did you get to watch the video yet? And what did you think if you did? I have a friend who's a horse enthusiast. She's been loving horses since she was ten and now she has her own horse and she tells me that just spending a day with her pet just makes her forget about the world's problems. Thanks for sharing! | | | |
