    Had this song played at the beginning of my Dad's funeral service. He believed in tough love, but in later years expressed regrets over his actions and words. The songs lyrics and beautiful delivery, was a fitting part of a tribute to him. If any one song summed him up it was that one. Fifteen years on I still miss him along with his flaws that we all have. That is unconditional love. On reflection perhaps your parents are the few people in your life who truly understand and care about you. Show them compassion. They do their best with what they had and knew at the time. Parenting's not easy, sometimes we have to look back at our childhood and remember that ?

      Currently processing my dad's diagnosis of terminal cancer at 62 years old. Life for and with him has always been difficult, but I can see now he is one of the few people that "gets it". I can't tell you how relevant your comment is to me right now. Thank you

      @@jessicad2999 I'm sorry to read about the situation that you are in. However, it was kind of you to acknowledge my comment upon Nina Simone's track "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and what it meant to me and my relationship with my Dad. Like you say of yours my life with him had its ups and downs. Though since he's passed I never realised how much he really had my best interests at heart things he said and did that I never "got" back then. Sometimes you have to value being in the moment with those you love, as he told me often, "I won't be here forever" We are all different, but I hope you are able to value this time you get with your Dad - it will be the best gift he will ever receive from you, your time, care and love when he needs it the most ? I'm sure that he is proud of you Jessica - wherever you are may unconditional love shine down on you both with your time left spent together.

      I enjoy finding little gems like this. Stories of people such as this, that give you an insight of their lives of their minds. I like to think of it as poking my head to a different universe and seeing someone else's life but at the same time someone that lives in the same planet as me. Nonetheless thank you for your story and a glance into your mind. Sorry for your loss.

      @@mobile5uit928 Thank you for your positive response to my comments, and expressed condolences regarding my late Father. I'm on Merseyside, though wherever we are in the world, despite our individual uniqueness we all feel and show similar emotions when grieving a loved one. Whether be family or not. Publicly shown only too recently with the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Perhaps understanding that and empathy towards greif is one of the few traits that virtually everyone shows about loss universally ?

    My dad's still alive, and I always want to share this with him, though I feel awkward for some reason. Even though he loves Nina Simone. I've never felt he didn't love me, but the way he is has always been tough too. It's nice to find a song that understands that some people, even many, can do harm without having any ill will. And can struggle with themselves for not coming across as they mean to, no matter how they wish they could. There's a lot I understand about him that I'm not willing to share, it's not really our way. But I want him to know there are somethings I get, no matter our problems.I still love him, and somethings will always be hard to talk about. But how can't I love him? Some differences, you can only navigate.

If we weren’t different, we wouldn’t be here and the life would be meaningless. If there weren’t the opposite of the meaning, the meaning would never have meaning. If Nina Simone had been ashamed of her voice and hidden it, we would never have heard about her. She wasn’t! that’s why she became the singer with the heavenly voice we know. You shouldn’t be ashamed of your voice. Maybe it is your strength point but you don’t know by trying to hide it.

Because, I'm sure that you wouldn't be talking shit if you actually KNEW, and supported music and artistry that IS authentic, and even still realizing that there are legends and icons who have ALWAYS gotten inspiration from PREVIOUS icons and legends or even helping someone to become a legend by getting influenced by a classic and bringing it up as they evolve.

Or maybe it's also what you even consider an artist. I guess it's all in your head. This is just your opinion, as is ours or mine is to you. I'm just sayin, you asked for this response. Maybe you didn't think it would come. You just seem very small minded to me, basing your judgement on a category you're making up in your mind and not even going deeper to actually discover the evolution and staying negative and pessimistic, must be fun to be you.

      So many people are realizing their purposes here on earth,and I feel that for so many it has been at the detriment of our families and friends. It's really painful to see what once linked to something semi perfect has now called you to open your eyes and 😖 see where the true difference is or rather the shine. Many doors will close but that is only so the others will open in the way that your life( not as in numbers) experiences will further assist you down the way so you're fortunate and blessed in your own belief learn to put down walls and boundaries so that your heart's desires ( highest self soul) can let in abundance where it needs to be ,not necessarily $ .I hope that you find peace you will only get this by connecting to source,God,your higher self remember to not 🚫 remember victim mentality because remembering it was the program .I hope that makes sense if it doesn't take a few looks at it again with a new perspective.Peace and Love, 💜🦋

    "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" sang by Nina, has a strong meaning of analyzation that seems like begging for understanding & no assumptions. I think everyone have a badside to them that needs remorse for making mistakes as a human with emotions & not to be looked at, the wrong way. Then, it comes as an apology that no matter what decision is made. I guess, it's still believe you're Angel. I love the 😍song after analyzing the lyrics. I was driven into the lyrics to completely understand. I felt touched by the song I felt I was reliving those same emotions of trials & Tribulations. Tyler Perry used this song for the movie "Acrimony." Thanks for singing Nina.♥️

    To some, this version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" carried the subtext of the Civil Rights Movement that concerned much of Simone's work of the time The mid-60s were a time of pure turmoil for this country & this song may reflect just that.

    [Verse 3]

    Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
    Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some little foolish thing
    Some simple thing that I've done
    [Chorus]

      @@jaye20 she didnt have extreme political ideas???? She wanted equality and justice. She demanded to be treated equally from a world that never was. Whats wrong with being so fed up that you dont want to passively march and be ignored. Theres nothing extreme about it. Some people take it lying down and so scratch and bite back. Her daughter is an abomination.

      Julio Cesar Jimenez honestly I’ve read general stuff on the internet and even on Wikipedia it’s reported that she supported violent revolution but if you have a reference to a book or documentary I’ll check...I normally just listen to her songs because I love her voice and only recently I started reading about her life

    I discovered Nina and this song from watching Luther on Netflix. Beautiful song. Magnificent show.

      Oh, wow, I didn't make that connection. Sometimes I wonder abut Luther's intentions.

      Bahb Woolley That's part of what makes the show so interesting....Luther bends the rules, sometimes he breaks them. He does what he does, but he is a brilliant detective. He has a good heart and does the best he can...always with good intentions. You know what they say about good intentions...

      Terri Smith Absolutely. And the show is about seeing where he will end up. Captivating.

      +Terri Smith I tried to get into the show but it just wasn't for me it would seem slow on some parts then a big part came that would catch my attention for that moment.
