I'm in love with Nina Simone, and it fills me with joy every time I hear something new and great that I didn't know before. Very few artists in history have so many great works.
Oh Nina, only you can sing the lyrics "In my heart it will never be spring" and I believe your pain and suffering. Kimbra, I am sorry but you simply cannot sing it with the passion and sorrow that Nina can....
I love how Nina sings this, its like she's sitting across from you midadternoon telling all how about she sleeping with a married man
While my favorite cover is this by Kimbra because she sings it like she just found out the man she's in love with is actually married.
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone, but not me
On his hand was a plain gold band
Plain gold ring has a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears a plain gold ring
Oh, oh
When nighttime comes a' callin' on me
I know why I will never be free
I can't stop these teardrops of mine
I'm gonna love him till the end of time
Plain gold ring has but one thing to say
I'll remember till my dying day
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears a plain gold ring
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
