This song was originally written in '64 and she covered it in '65. The characters in the video represent a modern take on Nina and her daughter (for real) at a time right after leaving a long abusive marriage in 1964. She was starting over and was having this new awakening when she did this album ("I Put a Spell on You") so watching the video with that in mind I get a sense of just how much of herself she poured into her music and how real that emotion was. It was always like that for her.
Oh this song gave me chills! That's when I know it's a great song. Nina Simone IS a great talent. I know she passed back in 2003 but her legacy, which is clearly her music, lives on! Thank you Ms Simone for how you enriched this world!
@@robertphelps1574 agree with you I need to go look it up I thought it was muddy waters but I don’t thil so help me out on that! Also to everybody your most favorite songs are not originally rap it’s coming from old school jazz, rock etc that’s what hip hop is making your own style from exciting art already but the hip hop side they sample classics all the time and R&B also only they do “really great covers which she seem to actually keep it authentic sum actually sound better but it’s probably do to modern electronics and different im not sure but is not anything
@@robertphelps1574 Usually singers get credit for songs written by other people for them. Why should she be different. This is the best version of that song. Give her credit and keep it moving.
I just turned 50 and I realized that a few things in my life needed to be fixed. I'm starting to get in better shape and I'm not letting people take advantage of me, regardless if it cost me some friendships. This song is now my mantra. Thank you Nina and her band.
@MrUndoe you are doing the best thing for yourself. It doesn't matter how old we are. It's that we do now what is best for us and this will impact those around us. Keep going!! :)
I agree with your comments of not allowing people to take advantage of my kindness! I am reinstalling my boundaries or limits. The line is drawn in the sand and I can stop trespassers from crossing the line by leaving them alone. It doesn't cost me anything to leave people ALONE 😅😊🎉😂😂!
I have depression and anxiety, and it's been really bad lately. This song and video help keep me grounded in the moment. Nina's cover still resonates so thoroughly, nearly 60 years later.
I mean I am going through the exact same thing and yes. I needed this too? May we celebrate the good and let our darker times pass through swiftly and with ease. ❣️
My mother was a single parent for me and my sister, and now being a father myself, seeing a man being a present father for his child really made me feel good.
She's a really great dancer...soulful (sp?), elegant, fun. And how she managed to dance in those pants and not trip on them...well done! I hope she makes it big as a dancer!
I really wish that the information about the creators of this video (the choreo, dancers, actresses, filmmakers, etc) were included in the notes here. it feels really weird to not acknowledge the beautiful work of living Black women while also appreciating the legacy of Nina Simone. Edited 7/7/2021: It looks like they added more credits at some point in the past week or so, I'm so glad to see it! And thanks to everyone who did detective work to figure out who the dancer was before that was posted in the description.

Not a word of exaggeration brother, not a syllable. Could not agree more with your sentiments. Ms Nina is magnificent and it does n't matter how often I hear this piece it gives me goosebumps every time and that's best part of 50 years. Extraordinary talent largely unappreciated in her homeland. Very sad. While she's long gone her legacy lives on and we're the fortunate beneficiaries.
I love the spirituality around honoring sacred femininity that is so rooted in African tradition, and also love that this was positive, romantic vision of a beautiful, loved and loving black woman who grew up in a beautiful home… seems like too many portrayals of African American lives are of struggle and while I get that’s important to portray sometimes we miss the magic and beauty and love and affection and soul in these beautiful families and traditions and I love how this was really all about feeling good and giving out love rather than just a sort of over simplified portrayal of overcoming blatant struggles to get to a place of feeling good
there's a lot of misogyny in Africa too, let's not glamorise strong independent women and brush "African" women as a whole as "honored sacred femininity" . Women are great but most of their men treat them like garbage.
Classic track. When the dramatic trombones kick in,this song becomes a totally iconic unbelievable piece of art.And the strings a little later too add to its absolute brilliance.. Nobody can quite nail this song like Nina Simone does. Many have tried, but she owns it for me.What an arrangement it truly unbelievable.
I'm a classically trained pianist but Nina Simone is absolutely my favourite artist of all time... I really regret not getting the chance to see her perform live... her voice is simply like nothing else...
I was lucky enough to see her play at Ronnie Scotts in London in 1985. Incredible show which thankfully was also recorded....ruclips.net/video/0sK1xrGwHsw/видео.html
FINALLY AT 73 I DISCOVERED THAT I NEVER HAD SELF-LOVE, U CAN'T SURVIVE IN THIS 🌍 WITHOUT THAT, CUZ U CANT LOVE AND RESPECT OTHERS WITHOUT RESPECTING URSELF FIRST...SOSO GRATEFUL FOR JESUS GIVING ME THIS GIFT❤❤❤
Isn’t it amazing when we find healing for our 💔?! A year ago I came to the realization that I’d never been loved before…not since I was as a young child. But I’ve done the arduous & painful inner/self work & my soul is young again & my heart is filled with love!
My son & i who live 1500 miles apart have spent the morning sending music to each other. Just sent him this. My fave tho is when he sends me songs I raised him on. Music is love.
I cannot say how much I adore this song, especially Nina Simone's rendition. How superb was she? And the dancer on this video is extraordinary. Thank you!
Birds flying high You know how I feel Sun in the sky You know how I feel Breeze driftin' on by You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good I'm feeling good Fish in the sea You know how I feel River running free You know how I feel Blossom on a tree You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean And this old world is a new world And a bold world For me For me Stars when you shine You know how I feel Scent of the pine You know how I feel Oh, freedom is mine And I know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good I'm feeling good I feel so good I feel so good
Nina Simone is not one of the greatest artists of history, but she is also a masterful teacher. She was the first black admitted to Julliard School(Ny) and with that she has brought everyone into the light of a dream. Your talents and skills can open many door for you in life, just be sure that you open doors for others as well.
This song will be always be there for anyone who is ready to embrace life's struggles....every day...one step at a time....on this planet...for a moment.
Her soul was dancing in this video. SO BEAUTIFUL. Her hair, her body, her face, her everything. She was dancing as if no one was watching yet it’s out for the world to watch. Amazing.... Bravo
My absolutely favorite Nina Simone song. She does more with her voice in the first few bars than most orchestras can do in an entire song. Feeling good is a hard fought place - you earn it and Nina reminds us how hard we have to work to get there and how we should appreciate it once we arrive because it could go quickly.
An extraordinary song ... Accompanied by a phenomenal video 💞 Miss Nina Simone as you rest in Heaven.. We your DEVOTED FANS are still Listening to you Queen 👑
Don`t let her disappear into insignificance , I have every record she ever released some I have 3 copies. I am Australian Aboriginal and she has the mind of our mother ( earth mother).
Sadly, disappearing is all music like this can do with the onslaught of Cardi B's and Lady Gaga's of the world today. It's not about the music, it's about the money and as long as people are ok with singers talking about their nasty body parts and drugs, the trend shall continue.
@@cujoedaman don't put down one woman to uplift another. Nina Simone, along with the two artists you've mentioned, have all released amazing music. Just because they're different doesn't mean they're bad, especially Lady Gaga, who has proved time & time again her versatility & vocal prowess
Nah, this will never be forgotten as long as there's someone left to get the chills listening to it. Don't worry, the younger generation always discovers that they missed wonderful stuff and then go looking for more.
Listening to this beautiful song for the millionth time but watching it with this footage of humans being true, makes the heart warm and the spirit rise. Thank you for sharing again and again!
This is my life vow. I've written my vows while thinking of our love to this song. We shall always sleep in peace when day is done. It's a new Dawn for us.
Wow..I was worried at first the video would not do her song justice or that it would take away from it somehow. But what a melding of visual and musical inspiration! A real celebration! Just wow!
I have heard this song thousands of times over many years and still every time I play it the pure emotion can still bring tears to the back of my eyelids. What a powerful voice. What a magnificent talent. Still my favorite female artist of all time.
Nina was a huge influence to all people across America. Blacks being just one. It's cause she was a good writer and singer, something you don't get today.
@@MrHammerman97 not like she was a black activist fighting through segregation and being friends with Malcom X and Martin Luther King, right? oh wait...
@@wino_-ub6pf Yeah when real racism occured. That's why her story is amazing. No artist today suffer's. They are loaded with money. Back than you were famous and still pretty poor. But you didn't know that. So now you do. Also, Malcom X was a bastard PoS. MLK was a legend.
I've always absolutely loved this song. One of the most sampled people ever! True genius and musical icon. My ex shown his love for her to me and im glad I payed attention. She is a queen with an amazing voice. Strange Fruit still makes me cry everytime I hear it.
I beat almost impossible odds to be able to type this. A month ago, a surgeon told my husband I had at best a one percent chance of living. We're still not sure what caused the brain bleed. I do know it's a new dawn and I cry like a newborn girl every time I hear this now. This song is important to so many people for many reasons. That's mine.
Lysana, great to read your post! Thrilled that you pulled through. We just watched SFJazz do a broadcast of a Sweet Honey in the Rock concert, which featured this song, which led me to this RUclips video for the first time - really wonderful - which led to your post. Stay well!
Acredite minha amiga, sei bem o que vc quer dizer. E digo mais: não importa qual das três interpretações vc mais goste dessa música (Original na Nina Simone, Versão do Michael Bublé ou da Laurin Hill) a música fica excepcional em todas elas.
@@wellingtonmessmer1873 respectfully those other 2 artists are great however, neither one has the soul this woman possessed. Nina was greatness exemplified.
Wow…the full orchestra behind Nina’s infectious voice is perfect for the dancer’s creative video. OUTSTANDING---Nina’s outdone every great Capitol Records recording of Frank Sinatra’s classics with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra! You can’t get any higher praise than that about anyone’s song, recording, orchestral arrangement or any other means to measure true greatness in the music world!
Cleansing with sage and a ritual bath. Family. The first time I danced to this song was in 2017 with my uplifting dance teacher Alberto Valdes. Tears of joy. Thank YOU. Feeling good seeing these images of joy and hearing Nina Simone's powerful voice singing FREELY.
I believe it is "only" about freedom. It is so sad that alot of people think its a feel good song. She was so brillant that she left it to those ignorant enough to hear what they want to hear.
I am absolutely sure this is the best song ever for me! It affects me every time I hear it! It's magical and meaningful. Nina Simone is remarkable even if she is passed. She has given us a incredible gift of her voice and her ability to be beautiful and she hits me right in my heart! That my friends is music and remarkable! Thank you, Nina Simone for you sharing your gift of song and making me daydream again at 60 years old! You are remarkable! Thank you! Kathy Hallberg
We used to get her records smuggled into South Africa during Apartheid. Anyone who listens to and appreciates her music knows what real Activism means.🙏🏾
I’m here because this is an Iconic Song, it’s absolutely Relevant to The Age of Aquarius that is upon Us at this time. Perfectly fits with this Timeline for the Birth of this New Earth. God Bless Nina Simone. 🕊️🙏🥰✨♾️
I have to admit that I don't remember diving into learning about Nina Simone until I had become an adult.. in my 30s! But now I am music director for the local theaters production of Simply Simone and I'm grateful to be learning so much about her.
This is a great song & video.the song & video brought back some great memories of my childhood.i can remember some fifty plus years ago watching my mom & grandmon fixing my sisters & aunties hair.Back in those days the women's wasn't able to send there daughters to beauty salons. As a matter of fact it was not many salons doing that time.my hat off to all those beautiful black women's that been holding our family down for generation.may the God always bless you and keep you.🙏🙏
Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the presence of greatness when listening to Nina's recordings. How liberating, real and true she makes us feel. Thank you to the creators of this beautiful video.
The emotion in her voice is just beautiful. She makes you feel what she’s singing! Every time i hear her music it feels like im experiencing the song like a movie ❤
In addition to this song being awesome, this video is so damn wholesome. I love it. All the women with natural hair doing health things for their minds and bodies. What a great message!

I know Nina is the star here, but you've gotta give credit to the band. Those trumpets are straight from the soul. Masterpiece.
Sounds like you haven't heard Michael Buble's version of the song. His version is much more dynamic than Nina's. No offense.
If you want to hear them really go, "Sinnerman" is a 10 minute trip

🎉I am here after watching A quiet Place: Day one. Emotional movie and a beautiful song.
Don`t let her disappear into insignificance , I have every record she ever released some I have 3 copies.
I am Australian Aboriginal and she has the mind of our mother ( earth mother).
Sadly, disappearing is all music like this can do with the onslaught of Cardi B's and Lady Gaga's of the world today. It's not about the music, it's about the money and as long as people are ok with singers talking about their nasty body parts and drugs, the trend shall continue.
Beautifully said
@@cujoedaman don't put down one woman to uplift another. Nina Simone, along with the two artists you've mentioned, have all released amazing music. Just because they're different doesn't mean they're bad, especially Lady Gaga, who has proved time & time again her versatility & vocal prowess
@@Bria.W Well said!
Nah, this will never be forgotten as long as there's someone left to get the chills listening to it.
Don't worry, the younger generation always discovers that they missed wonderful stuff and then go looking for more.
Thank you for keeping Nina's legacy going. Fucking brilliant.
The greatest female vocalist that graced this earth. She expressed her difficult life through that wonderful catalogue of music. Sadly missed.
Ditto That 💃✌️🥰🙏
All are equal in the kingdom of Heaven, but Ella is the greatest!
The outro song of A Quiet Place: Day One. Who's here? ❤
I’m here after seeing the movie. Great film.
🙋
Yup, that's why I"m here!
This song keeps me living when I was so tired of everything. There's beauty around you, keep looking for it.
We miss you very talented, incredible voiced singer.
Listening to this beautiful song for the millionth time but watching it with this footage of humans being true, makes the heart warm and the spirit rise. Thank you for sharing again and again!
This is my life vow. I've written my vows while thinking of our love to this song. We shall always sleep in peace when day is done. It's a new Dawn for us.
What a voice, so enchanting. Love her singing.
Wow..I was worried at first the video would not do her song justice or that it would take away from it somehow. But what a melding of visual and musical inspiration! A real celebration! Just wow!
One of most gorgeous songs in history sung by one of the most gorgeously talented women in the world.
Has to be the best modern version of Nina simones gracious song. This inspires me daily. Thank you to the artist dancing.She is gorgeous
I have heard this song thousands of times over many years and still every time I play it the pure emotion can still bring tears to the back of my eyelids. What a powerful voice. What a magnificent talent. Still my favorite female artist of all time.
One of the greatest to ever do it. Nina is a huge influence to Black people across America!
Nina was a huge influence to all people across America. Blacks being just one. It's cause she was a good writer and singer, something you don't get today.
Really?, then why when I was in the pen the one to introduce her to a bunch of black people?
And h I did they did not care about her
@@MrHammerman97 not like she was a black activist fighting through segregation and being friends with Malcom X and Martin Luther King, right? oh wait...
@@wino_-ub6pf Yeah when real racism occured. That's why her story is amazing. No artist today suffer's. They are loaded with money. Back than you were famous and still pretty poor. But you didn't know that. So now you do. Also, Malcom X was a bastard PoS. MLK was a legend.
I've always absolutely loved this song. One of the most sampled people ever! True genius and musical icon. My ex shown his love for her to me and im glad I payed attention. She is a queen with an amazing voice. Strange Fruit still makes me cry everytime I hear it.
I beat almost impossible odds to be able to type this. A month ago, a surgeon told my husband I had at best a one percent chance of living. We're still not sure what caused the brain bleed. I do know it's a new dawn and I cry like a newborn girl every time I hear this now. This song is important to so many people for many reasons. That's mine.
Lysana, great to read your post! Thrilled that you pulled through. We just watched SFJazz do a broadcast of a Sweet Honey in the Rock concert, which featured this song, which led me to this RUclips video for the first time - really wonderful - which led to your post. Stay well!
Eu mesmo não estando bem de saúde, fazendo químio… Adoro ouvir.
That's a truly powerful reason... I really hope you're doing well.
Cara, não sei nem como descrever o quanto amo essa música, perfeita em todos os sentidos.
Acredite minha amiga, sei bem o que vc quer dizer. E digo mais: não importa qual das três interpretações vc mais goste dessa música (Original na Nina Simone, Versão do Michael Bublé ou da Laurin Hill) a música fica excepcional em todas elas.
@@wellingtonmessmer1873 respectfully those other 2 artists are great however, neither one has the soul this woman possessed. Nina was greatness exemplified.
TDS q e perfeito e pra sempre bjvuda3367eru

Essa musica já muito poderosa, sempre me tira do poço. Com esse clipe então. Essa performance traduziu tudo!!!!
Wow…the full orchestra behind Nina’s infectious voice is perfect for the dancer’s creative video. OUTSTANDING---Nina’s outdone every great Capitol Records recording of Frank Sinatra’s classics with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra! You can’t get any higher praise than that about anyone’s song, recording, orchestral arrangement or any other means to measure true greatness in the music world!
“It’s a new dawn it’s a new day and I’m feeeeling goood!” 🎶 🎼 🎵
Oh to be blessed to wake up to a new day a new dawn and feeling good! That’s a gift and truly a blessing. Beautiful and gifted right from her soul.
The part where the music kicks in after she sings "And I'm feeling good" is one of my favorite moments in any song.
As músicas da Nina Simone tocam minha alma.
A master composer, concert pianist, singer, performer, song writer, civil roghts activist AND LEGEND👌
Cleansing with sage and a ritual bath. Family. The first time I danced to this song was in 2017 with my uplifting dance teacher Alberto Valdes. Tears of joy. Thank YOU. Feeling good seeing these images of joy and hearing Nina Simone's powerful voice singing FREELY.
A quiet place one day perfect 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the feeling of freedom, feeling free from my past, no more shame, no guilt. The best song to liberate ourselves.
I believe it is "only" about freedom. It is so sad that alot of people think its a feel good song. She was so brillant that she left it to those ignorant enough to hear what they want to hear.
The song was originally written by Anthony Newley and Leslie bricusse for their musical The roar of the greasepaint the smell of the crowd
I am absolutely sure this is the best song ever for me! It affects me every time I hear it! It's magical and meaningful. Nina Simone is remarkable even if she is passed. She has given us a incredible gift of her voice and her ability to be beautiful and she hits me right in my heart! That my friends is music and remarkable! Thank you, Nina Simone for you sharing your gift of song and making me daydream again at 60 years old! You are remarkable! Thank you! Kathy Hallberg
I have been listening to Nina Simone since the movie Point of No Return
We used to get her records smuggled into South Africa during Apartheid. Anyone who listens to and appreciates her music knows what real Activism means.🙏🏾
Hermosa canción, todo lo hace sentir perfecto!!
Hope everyone understand that music, specially the new generation. This is pure art
we do
every generation owes black women everything, they built the foundation

😭😭😭😭
That movie got to me 😭🐈
The ending of the quiet place day one was literally so crazy bro.
I’m here because this is an Iconic Song, it’s absolutely Relevant to The Age of Aquarius that is upon Us at this time. Perfectly fits with this Timeline for the Birth of this New Earth. God Bless Nina Simone. 🕊️🙏🥰✨♾️
This song will forever be a classic!
Perfect song for today .
Her voice, the words, the music : I Feel !
The best part of this song is the a cappella intro & when Queen Nina speaks in tongues.
I have to admit that I don't remember diving into learning about Nina Simone until I had become an adult.. in my 30s! But now I am music director for the local theaters production of Simply Simone and I'm grateful to be learning so much about her.
I grew up listening to jazz, but never heard of Nina Simone until the movie Point of No Return came out!! It was like finding gold!!
@@stacyann825 Right. Truly a buried treasure.
I've nit heard of Point of No Return. Is it about Nina Simone or was a song of hers on the soundtrack?
Essa música, essa voz, sempre me deixam todo arrepiado, dos pés a cabeça. Nina é lendária. Nina é atemporal. Nina é para para sempre.
Para sempre
Hola
This is a great song & video.the song & video brought back some great memories of my childhood.i can remember some fifty plus years ago watching my mom & grandmon fixing my sisters & aunties hair.Back in those days the women's wasn't able to send there daughters to beauty salons. As a matter of fact it was not many salons doing that time.my hat off to all those beautiful black women's that been holding our family down for generation.may the God always bless you and keep you.🙏🙏
Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the presence of greatness when listening to Nina's recordings. How liberating, real and true she makes us feel. Thank you to the creators of this beautiful video.
This song 🎶 came out in ‘65 , the same year my Dad was born. That is how music is timeless and beautiful. ☺️
Always thought it was wonderful that she could find it in herself to sing this song after everything she had been through.
Eu sempre fico arrepiado e perto de chorar ouvindo essa música (ou chorando mesmo kk).
eu também hahaha
I miss you, momma.
Happy heavenly birthday! Hope she is singing with the angels. I had not heard of her before today - glorious!
Perfect Days and A Quiet Place: Day One
Yeah... Day love this.
“It’s good to have been back.” -Samira
The emotion in her voice is just beautiful. She makes you feel what she’s singing! Every time i hear her music it feels like im experiencing the song like a movie ❤
In addition to this song being awesome, this video is so damn wholesome. I love it. All the women with natural hair doing health things for their minds and bodies. What a great message!
Absolutely agree with you here.
I like the aong
Song
song good..but the 'video' - it's new age pagan satanic trash. you're completely brainwashed.
@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 and you’re hilarious lol
This was my grandmother’s favourite song and to this day whenever I listen to this I think of her 😢
It is a new life today!
I have just now discovered Nina - what an absolutely brilliant artist as well succeeding in other endeavours she took on
