You can't turn on a television without hearing her melodies so I thought I'd show one of my favorite Nina Simone songs.
I saw this performance on the Montreal Jazz Festival on the Ovation channel, (I'll link to both later).
Nina Simone reminds me of what my grandmother may have been like. I don't have many memories of her, but I imagine her to be the Nina Simone, I'm-not-taking-any-of-your-excuses-or-your-bullcrap, type. Other than that, Nina Simone has always frightened me to some degree.
Anyway, See-Line Woman.

Even down to the, "I'm riding on a dolphin doin' flips and sh!t" it matches.
Thought went into this.
NSFW!

I posted this a year ago, the previous late October, and I always mean to post it earlier in the late stage of October, like maybe the 16th or so, but it's been late both times. Whatever.
Never too late to spread the music.
I'm gonna take a break for Hallow's Eve, ya'll have a great weekend and halloween party and stuff.

I used to make fun of my sister for liking a song so depressing. It's didn't think it was a happy song at all.
Just take these lyrics,

I almost exited from my window when I saw this, 'cause I figured, 'This ish ain't worth it.'
DON'T...DO IT!
This made me so giddy and happy to see, I don't know what it is about it, but I immensely enjoyed it.
If you're a daft punk, you should enjoy this.
If you're not, you'll enjoy this.

Isn't that bad.
I'm sorry, but I love it, and am not afraid to say it.

I can imagine to the untrained native English speaking eye, lil' kids singing about Alcohol may seem a lil', uh, wrong.
Well it's harmless, really, the only alcohol they're hip with is "só para desinfetar," only for disinfecting purposes.

The Pharcyde.

Seeing this video and being mesmerized by it.
The colors, the reverse, the song....by golly the song...
You know what, I think it's time for a sing-along,

‘Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical

I’ve lived through my share of misfortune
And I’ve worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical, the typical, the typical, uh huh

I'm the typical
I'm the typical
Can I break the spell of the typical

Because it’s dragging me down
I’d like to know about when
When does it all turn around

I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical

Yeah I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical
The typical, the typical, uh huh

Of the typical
Break the spell (of the typical)
Break the spell (of the typical)
Can I break the spell of the typical, of the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical

~`*Enjoy!

I would have never heard this song.
I don't recall when, probably about two years ago maybe...
But I was doing my monthly artist update online,where I check for new releases and concert listings, the usual, when I stumbled across a website and heard this song playing.
I immediately stopped what I was doing and scoured the site for where the lil' music widget was.
And I discovered this gem,
