  • Lyrics:
    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
    Give me more than one caress
    Satisfy this hungriness
    Let the wind blow through your heart
    Wild is the wind
    You touch me
    I hear the sound of mandolins
    You kiss me
    With you kiss, my life begins
    You're spring to me
    All things to me
    You're life itself
    Like a leaf clings to a tree
    Oh, my darling, cling to me
    For we're creatures of the wind
    And wild is the wind
    Wild is the wind
    Wild is the wind

    "Wild Is the Wind" is a song written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington. The track was originally recorded by Johnny Mathis for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. The song was very popular and was one of five songs nominated for an Academy Award; it was sung by Johnny Mathis at the March 1958 Oscar presentations. Mathis' version of the song was also released as a single by Columbia Records (4-41060) in November 1957, and reached No. 22 on the Billboard chart.
    The song has been recorded many times, including twice by Nina Simone, first on the live album Nina Simone at Town Hall (1959) and then in a studio recording included on Wild Is the Wind (1966). David Bowie recorded a version of it for his 1976 album Station to Station. Bowie was an admirer of Simone’s style, and after meeting her in Los Angeles in 1975, was inspired to record the song for his album.

      @@shellecapos8574 No denying the rancid racism of the time period but I'm not sure it was the only reason she took the musical path she did. I think she just followed her natural strengths. That mainly being an almost super-human instinctive feel for _all_ musical genres.

    I never knew much about Nina until I just started to discover her online. Here is my take. Nina was not about show biz. She was pure, raw talent who felt she had a very strong message. She eschewed the glitz and the bullshit of the business and gave us what all true vocalists should give us and that is TALENT and shear musicianship. During her lifetime, America did not fully accept her due to her "look" and ethnicity. She fought. She preservered. She left yet she remains in our collective lives.

    The modern 'soul' singers could learn a great deal from this amazing lady. Sometimes less is more and I've always thought the likes of Whitney Houston and Maria Carey are at their best when they keep it simple and pure. Nina Simone shows that approach superbly here.

RIP Nina, it wasn't till we said goodbye and I asked you to sign my Forbidden Fruit album did you realise I was the reason you came to Australia.

    Remembering David Bowie this evening....such amazingly great singers and songs with a very certain "specialness" about them that makes such people immortal in memory and achievements. Every era brings unforgettable human beings...we cannot all hope to be outstanding..but somehow there are those who shine out and remain forever bright even when the earthly aspect fades; this particularly wonderful song highlights a mere three.....Nina Simone,Johnny Mathis and David Bowie......... Not one is forgotten or ever likely to be as each are truly special.

Love me, love me, say you do. Nina we must go back. No, caress me forever, take my hunger away. Kiss me, touch me. The thunder and your kiss feels like a thousand mandolins. Hold tight to the tree Nina like a leaf my love. No, hold me Omoro. Hold me; we will fly away together like creatures of the wind. We are itself~~
