I've always been a fan of the original Sandy Dennis version. You should check it out. She died young. Great singer and songwriter. She recorded this song with the English folk group Fairport Convention. Was really surprised to discover this Nina Simone version, as I'm also a fan of her work but never heard this song. Also heard it on Mater of None.
I was there that night! Amazing visuals as well as the music. She put on a musical play ! Yes she did!!! I knew her personally as well, just coming out of college in '65 she hired my best friend Weldon Irvine as her Musical Director. She and I sang Purple Rain together in my living room. She really enjoyed herself. I love and honor her and am sooo grateful to have been allowed by her to spend the times together. May she have peace and joy in all future incarnations. Love love love you Miss Simone.
God I love this woman. I enormously regret never having seen her perform live. And I hate it when people start arguing over who has performed a song better. That is not what art is about.
This is what music is about. Truth and questioning, mystic revelation, spiritual sublimity. I bawled like a baby. Nina’s voice is the greatest of all time. I listen to A LOT of music, new and old, but no-one’s poetry contained within their voice stirs my soul like hers.
What a lovely song! My wife and I came across it years ago and made it our wedding anniversary song. We play it only once a year on our anniversary night and dance slowly remembering, yet, another year passing... "I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving". Played it tonight, our 24th together, and will "until it's time to go"....
It is intensely painful to see that one's future has been mostly transmuted into one's past by the mysterious process of time. Yet, time itself is so serene and tranquil it's hard not to think of it as ultimately benign, even as it slowly begins to draw the shroud around us, as it inevitably does. This song captures that perfectly.
This is true artistry; she sounded so exhausted in her monologue, but when it came to sing -- she reached inside herself and pulled out this unforgettable music.
my goodness....thank you for sharing this with the world. I will cry. I will. But I will cry in rejoicing and heart for you and all of you out there. .....and lets not forget Ms. Sandy Denny .
I watched the movie The Dancer Upstairs and heard this piece toward the end, wow! it blew me away. Since then I have bought a few of her pieces, admire Nina greatly. This song is reminiscent of life in all its glory and tragedy, we cast off summer and embrace winter. Like seasons so are our lives, this lady is magic
She performed this exactly 19 years before my birthday, on 26 October 1969. And I found out just about now. I've loved this song for as long as I've known it. And what a birthday gift, dear heart. I love you so, so much, you amazing woman. Thank you for the best birthday gift, and the best eulogy of all time.
precious introspective soul . I love you Nina. Thank you for speaking snd singing my truth. I am never alone with your music it resonates deep in my heart. rip amazingly beautiful woman .
when 'I ain't got, I got life' came out in the 60s I was in my teens.I have been in love with Nena since then.Like all really great stars she had uniqueness that's difficult to put your finger on, even after a lot of thought. She was and is really special.God bless her.
Saw Ms. Nina do a show in Miami not long before she passed. She needed help walking to the piano, a bit. Even at that, she was angelic and completely owned that crowd that night. One of the Greats. So blessed to have seen her do a show. Beautiful tune. There's only one Nina, a true chanteuse. Nobody like here around these days. Rest well Nina.
Nina Simone is a legend, Judy Collins sung it beautifully, Eva Cassidy's version is sublime but Sandy's voice brings tears to my eyes on every song she ever sung. Sandy sings as if she is on the verge of heartbreak to quote Thea Gilmore.
I had first learned about this song through Judy Collins and I instantly loved it, then I heard the original version by Sandy Denny and I liked it even more, and now I hear Nina Simone's version and her's is the best! This is the way that it has to be sung. How melancholic, haunting and utterly beautiful.
She took a wonderful song (Sandy Deny) and made it her own. I love her take on it. I thought "yes Nina Simone had to pick this song up and interpret it with sensitivity" She did not let me down.
I love this song in a new way than how I heard it two years ago. Time flies by people change but one thing remains the same You God remain the strength of my heart forever. You are my love. Reminded of old photos when I was young seeing me now and knowing that I will keep growing and time will keep going, you Jesus will still be there ever single step of the way. I love it. You hold my past my present and my future who knows where the time goes? Only you do.
That was such a cool shout out/dedication Meredith! I'll add - sending positive thoughts to the same folks in the radiology dept at BMC. Stay safe and thanks in advance for the service you are so generously providing to your community. Please stay healthy, Erma (in GA)
Its my all time favourite record , originally by Sany Denny . I like rock & EDM , But this song sends me . much love people & spend your time with people you love and care about & feel the same about . time spent well is far more precious than money and a flashy car Xx
Such a strong, warm, grasping echoing whisper of awesome wonder (Nina perfected in this--another MASTERPIECE)!!!. Nina Simone was one of God's Wonderfully Mysterious Works....PERFORMED!
They may be gone through that Skin-walk...but you know they are back here with us starting all over again (but even more powerful is some newborn Girl Child on our Earth.....Singing Sublimely what they llearned last time round.... and the bonus is what they did before their art, music and Grace is still here....Wow!
--- Intro Transcript -- We are recording tonight and because we are recording we are trying to do some things that actually are too tired to do. But as Faye Dunaway I think it was she she said when Bonnie and Clyde came out and hoped she tried to give people what they wanted. That's a mistake really I know but ah you can't do it but only have to ' You use up everything you got trying to give everybody what they want. But I will learn my lesson soon. And then you will buy more records right cos you gonna see me. Okay let's see what we can do with this lovely lovely thing that goes past all racial conflict and all kinds of conflicts. It is a reflective tune and sometime in your life you will have occasion to say what is this thing called time. You know what is that ' the clock. You go to work by the clock you get your martini in the afternoon by the clock and you have your coffee by the clock and have to get on a plane at a certain time and arrive. It goes on and on and on and time is a dictator as we know it. Where does it go what does it do' Most of all is it alive, Is it a thing that we cannot touch and is it alive? And then one day you look in the mirror - how old - and you say, “Where did the time go?” We leave you with that one.
When I heard Nina's first album I was swept away. When I heard this song over 45 years ago I was blown away. I still am. A tribute to two wonderful amazing women.
So much of her experience and music revolved around race, i love that she recognized this as something for us all. I can sing along with mississippi goddamn but its not my experience. Loss of time, on the other hand, is something that smacks us all in the gob.
Ten years, I knew it was coming up but it had not dawned on me yet until your kind reply Jean Seb. Indeed, who knows where the times goes... I am grateful to all of you that posted thoughtful comments over the years and I am truly happy that so many have enjoyed this simple compilation. It made me happy to pull it together and it is still such a thing of beauty to me - the 8 minutes when I can relish her voice, her emotions, the music and even the background audience. How I wish I had that chance... We need more beauty in the world right now and I am delighted that Miss Simone can shine so brightly. Also, for those that came here from The Dancer Upstairs, I would love for you to know that the movie was my introduction to Nina and thus the impetus for this video. Crossing fingers the link stays up for another 10 years! Erma
A great song inspires many people to sing it. The great singers do it in their own way. This is not the version that comes to mind when I want to play this song in my head but it's a very moving one. I'm particularly knocked out by her stunningly beautiful piano part. I wish she had played piano all the way through. Such a great musician.
The problem is we're confusing dimensions, seeking a temporal phenomenon in a spatial dimension, we should really ask WHEN does the time go, and the answer is it goes NOW!
Wonderful song written by Sandy Denny. Judy Collins also does a great version which is Featured in the Academy award winning film 'The Subject was Roses', staring Patricia Neal. Love this song.
I did not know the song, but then once I herd it at the end of a movie soundtrack by Nina, I do not remember the movie, but I went straight away to the internet and downloaded the song , it was then that I discovered it by other Artist. it is so melancholy it just brought tears to my eyes. I love it.
One of my favorite scenes of master of none season 3 brought me here. What a beautiful song.
Pure class...Master of None and Nina Simone!
SAAAAME!!!
i didnt love season 3 but it brought me here as well!
I've always been a fan of the original Sandy Dennis version. You should check it out. She died young. Great singer and songwriter. She recorded this song with the English folk group Fairport Convention. Was really surprised to discover this Nina Simone version, as I'm also a fan of her work but never heard this song.

man me too!
The very fact that Nina sang this song, so beautifully, just emphasises to me the genius of Sandy
I was there that night! Amazing visuals as well as the music. She put on a musical play ! Yes she did!!! I knew her personally as well, just coming out of college in '65 she hired my best friend Weldon Irvine as her Musical Director. She and I sang Purple Rain together in my living room.

Love love love you Miss Simone.
thanks for your memories!! nina fron moscow;)
Ayaba Awoyemi thank you! amazing!!
That is a wonderful memory to have!
Hmmmm agbaayin adale ma
wow, might be amazing
God I love this woman. I enormously regret never having seen her perform live. And I hate it when people start arguing over who has performed a song better. That is not what art is about.
True. There is beauty in the difference
I absolutely enjoy every single version of this beautiful song. Nina Simone is amazing and her introduction is absolutely right on...
Agreed. Sandys is heartrenching and so is this
Can you msg me privately my lady have got some discussion for you
I totally agree with you. Some are just looking in the wrong places
This is a wonderful tribute to the unfathomable brilliance of Nina Simone and the extraordinary poetry of such a young Sandy Denny.
Pure bliss - that nod to Sandy Denny from this incredible legend. Sings the very heart of “maudlin”.
This is what music is about. Truth and questioning, mystic revelation, spiritual sublimity. I bawled like a baby. Nina’s voice is the greatest of all time. I listen to A LOT of music, new and old, but no-one’s poetry contained within their voice stirs my soul like hers.

I saw her at Ronnie Scott's decades ago -- I remember it like yesterday....the 8th wonder of the world

+oamericanos69 stop talking shite
beautifully stated.
This is so beautifully put
I think you set the scene perfectly, in case anyone was not quite in tune. Cheers.
I always end up a jibbering wreck, crying my eyes out, when Nina sings. Human.. all too human.
Mark O Brien Not the only one rest assured
Nina Simone is goddess. She is what music and singing is all about.
This is true artistry; she sounded so exhausted in her monologue, but when it came to sing -- she reached inside herself and pulled out this unforgettable music.
my goodness....thank you for sharing this with the world. I will cry. I will. But I will cry in rejoicing and heart for you and all of you out there. .....and lets not forget Ms. Sandy Denny .
let's not forget SD - thx
She was something else. Wonderful rendition of a sublime song too.
I watched the movie The Dancer Upstairs and heard this piece toward the end, wow! it blew me away. Since then I have bought a few of her pieces, admire Nina greatly. This song is reminiscent of life in all its glory and tragedy, we cast off summer and embrace winter. Like seasons so are our lives, this lady is magic
Wikitoria Wiringi Wild is the Wind
It was at the start of the movie
I saw the same movie - dancer upstairs, heard that song....and had the same reaction - stopped me in my tracks...left me in tears...
This is a gem 💎 like no other. To hear her inflection, philosophy and introspection is just and added delight!
She performed this exactly 19 years before my birthday, on 26 October 1969. And I found out just about now. I've loved this song for as long as I've known it. And what a birthday gift, dear heart. I love you so, so much, you amazing woman. Thank you for the best birthday gift, and the best eulogy of all time.
This is a gift from the heavens!! So talented ,philosophical and spiritual goddess.. thank you for this gem 💎.
She just kills it.... all of her stuff is so good....
precious introspective soul . I love you Nina. Thank you for speaking snd singing my truth. I am never alone with your music it resonates deep in my heart. rip amazingly beautiful woman .

Sublime, what a voice. Love the purity, it's almost angelic.
+Teresa McCallum Our time slides by and we barely recognize it until the flame begins to flicker.
+Bartholomew Jones ,Oh my God yes!
+Teresa McCallum ,I close my eyes every time I hear this song because it touches my heart so!!

This is such a beautifully sad song and no one could have sung it better, I cry whenever I hear it.
Nina Simone is a legend, Judy Collins sung it beautifully, Eva Cassidy's version is sublime but Sandy's voice brings tears to my eyes on every song she ever sung. Sandy sings as if she is on the verge of heartbreak to quote Thea Gilmore.
It's so touching her way of singing this song ... becomes it more beautiful.
Lovely Nina Simone!
The AMAZING NINA SIMONE--- NO ONE CAN TAKE HER PLACE ❤
I had first learned about this song through Judy Collins and I instantly loved it, then I heard the original version by Sandy Denny and I liked it even more, and now I hear Nina Simone's version and her's is the best! This is the way that it has to be sung. How melancholic, haunting and utterly beautiful.
***** every think she did was great she had it soul
No, Sandy's is the best.
Fairport Report did it, Sandy was a member.
@@MrChopsticktech yes, she was a member of Fairport Convention when it was recorded but it's Sandy Dennys song, she wrote it.
She took a wonderful song (Sandy Deny) and made it her own. I love her take on it. I thought "yes Nina Simone had to pick this song up and interpret it with sensitivity" She did not let me down.
A Masterpiece. A legend. Sadly, she is the one and only.
Hauntingly beautiful..... I love Nina's version of this Sandy Denny song 😢
Nothing could be more excellent than this version of a timeless classic!
Nina is God!
Master class...amazing and inspiring. She makes this song a spiritual experience. What a woman.
A visionary..💋🌹
@@amarshmuseconcepta6197 She definitely was that too.
I love the way she sings 'I Do Not Fear Time' - my most favorite bit of the song!
A wonderful interpretation of this great Sandy Denny song.
Fairport Convention
Remembering Miss Nina Simone on her 83rd Birthday...we love you Miss Simone!!!
no need for comparisons. two sublime artists.
Beautiful version, very moving.
✨🌸👌 Magnifique Nina Simone,, immense talent ✨
A true queen, they don’t make them this special anymore:)
I love this song in a new way than how I heard it two years ago. Time flies by people change but one thing remains the same You God remain the strength of my heart forever. You are my love.

Nice!
Speaks for itself nothing 2 b said after that performance
Beautiful miss Simone, always on my mind
Timeless talent and depth of compassion and actions⚖️🙏👏👍💕😇🌏
Thank you to the guys in the CT Scan Dpt at Boston Medical Center two years ago who kept me alive by singing this song. I'm still thank you.
That was such a cool shout out/dedication Meredith! I'll add - sending positive thoughts to the same folks in the radiology dept at BMC. Stay safe and thanks in advance for the service you are so generously providing to your community. Please stay healthy, Erma (in GA)
and a pianist of the highest order. She was very innovative in bringing in baroque ideas into her jazz idiom. Just superb playing and invention.
A legend and icon her intelligence Knew no bounds .
Its my all time favourite record , originally by Sany Denny . I like rock & EDM , But this song sends me . much love people & spend your time with people you love and care about & feel the same about . time spent well is far more precious than money and a flashy car Xx
Such a strong, warm, grasping echoing whisper of awesome wonder (Nina perfected in this--another MASTERPIECE)!!!. Nina Simone was one of God's Wonderfully Mysterious Works....PERFORMED!
You should take a listen to Sandy Denny's original version. It is amazing
Nina and Sandy may be dead, but something tells me that they will be around for hundreds and hundreds of years after we're all gone.
True that....Nina Simone and Sandy Denny two of my favorite female singers. I had the great fortune to see them both perform live. Peace...
I only got to see sandy, und boyoboyo will I never forget.....................
+john walkington Lucky you-she was slightly before my time, but Sandy Denny has the voice and the songs that move me the most.
They may be gone through that Skin-walk...but you know they are back here with us starting all over again (but even more powerful is some newborn Girl Child on our Earth.....Singing Sublimely what they llearned last time round.... and the bonus is what they did before their art, music and Grace is still here....Wow!
I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT I HOPE SO
When all is so wonderful, yes, where does the time go? Now, just sweet memories.
Yes saw Nina Simone in the 90's amazing talent - a great song written by Sandy Denny!
Every time I hear her sing this song it breaks my heart, I don't know why and at the same time it's wonderful...
Tears every time I hear this wonderful [and best version ] of this song
Fantastic song written by the great Sandy Denny (1947-1978) at 19

thank you for the transcript :) hope you are well
So beautiful and rich. Thank you.
That was so beautiful. She's a keeper.
When I heard Nina's first album I was swept away. When I heard this song over 45 years ago I was blown away. I still am. A tribute to two wonderful amazing women.
Simply beautiful leaves me speechless.
Amazingly Beautiful, Nina Simone...her spirit still sings
So much of her experience and music revolved around race, i love that she recognized this as something for us all. I can sing along with mississippi goddamn but its not my experience. Loss of time, on the other hand, is something that smacks us all in the gob.
Tears to my eyes. But she really puts it into perspective...time.
Oh, God, I'm hypnotized by her voice.
As I discover new (and old) versions of this song I am amazed how good they are all. I am in awe.
Yes, "The Dancer Upstairs" brought me here.
However, I was introduced to Nina's songs in the fall of 1968.
Who knows where the time goes ?
She may well have been the greatest singer of the 20th Century...
SHE SINGS AS SHE WOULD TAKE ALL OF THE SINS IN THE WORLD ON HER SHOULDERS- GOD BLESS HER
This deserves many likes. Thanks for your comment!
I THINK THATS THE TRUTH-SHE WAS NOT!!!!!!!! A COMMERCIAL BITCH
I’m not part of the “not a patch on the original’ or indeed the “she owns this song” brigade but I do say that Nina does a great song justice.
Ten years after you kindly posted this. Thank you very much. It's the best performance of this great great song. Nina Simone was great.
Ten years, I knew it was coming up but it had not dawned on me yet until your kind reply Jean Seb. Indeed, who knows where the times goes...

Nina, the best of excellence!
Moments of love.
Sandy Denny wrote this song when she was all of 16. Nina really evokes its emotional depth.
I love you Nina! Such a strong, creative genius. I miss you!
Wow. She really was strikingly beautiful, back in the day.
seaofshe Diiiitoooh!
Pain, so much pain. Bless you, thank you NINA
"You use up everything you got trying to give everybody what they want."

Vicki Brooks Yeah!
stacyblue1980 Yes. ..."through our days" Indeed👍
Vicki Brooks and at 1:44am before smoking a joing
A lovely tribute to the lovely Sandy Denny..fair play to ya Nina
pure class! she changes the words slightly to the original - but does it better than anyone.
I love this song. In the film “The Dancer Upstairs” they use it.
Who sung it better - Nina or Sandy? It doesn't matter, just breathe in the brilliance.
A beauty.
Nina's piano makes up for it. Those notes sound like a bell.
Rossm3838...and crystal chimes...
Excellent observation!
That’s worth it for the spoken introduction alone.
Pure genius!
Magnificent woman. Amazing life.
The problem is we're confusing dimensions, seeking a temporal phenomenon in a spatial dimension, we should really ask WHEN does the time go, and the answer is it goes NOW!
What a musical and philosophical GENIUS she was, and by extension of her legacy and her many recordings, STILL IS🎵❤🎶
RIP to a great voice!1 Nina Simone!!
Such a beautiful and true voice
i LOVE this song. it's magical.
precious introspective soul . I lovr you Nina. Thank you for speaking snd singing my truth
i love nina but this version sucks all life out of the song like Streisand show song
wonderful!, wonderful! tribute to Sandy Danny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(composer and texter and singer and musician)
A legend!
Wonderful song written by Sandy Denny. Judy Collins also does a great version which is Featured in the Academy award winning film 'The Subject was Roses', staring Patricia Neal. Love this song.
I love that song ! Lizz Wright covered it this year. And its absolutely beautiful !!!
I did not know the song, but then once I herd it at the end of a movie soundtrack by Nina, I do not remember the movie, but I went straight away to the internet and downloaded the song , it was then that I discovered it by other Artist. it is so melancholy it just brought tears to my eyes. I love it.
The Dancer upstairs. Good movie.
I'm so thankful to that movie for this song.
