Nina Simone - My Sweet Lord Lyrics

What a glorious fecking sound, i feel so much better.

Beautiful singing!!! Thanks to the late singer Nina Simone.

14:15 truth

A great Song for the Great Jesus - My Sweet Lord -

Does youtube hate us that much? If not, why would it interrupt Nina in the middle of one of her songs with ads? Can it not wait until the end? Or does YouTube not know how valuable music really is? (so why should I subscribe to its music app?)

Une artiste fantastique géniale merci madame

Fantastic! What more can be said.

How apt to discover this masterpiece on Armistice Day. Gotta love those jazz drummers, too.

Gosh this is powerful on so many levels ! 🔥✊🏾
Grandma I was not really listening 👂 then when you played her but I OVERSTAND your music choices now !
So much needed soul and heart ♥️! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Reminds when i was young. My mother would play it on repeat... And i loved it. She still plays it.

Good but check out Federico Perlingieri and singer Trevor Jackson of Stuttgart Germany version. Live Sensational. The best!

beautiul i love you always nina hugs in memory of your greatness sweet sis.

This version is much slower than version streaming on apps like apple music... which is closer to accurate speed? I can hear more nuance in this version, but the faster version seems more likely true to the live performance.

Weldon kept us coming in ontime. he knew all the singing parts and he was on it. A couple of times we were scared to come in because we were not sure which words came next in a couple of spots.We only rehearsed with her once. But Weldon knew the Queen was not about mistakes and she definitely had the right musical director. Her Brother hung in there like they were twins. It was tight, tense and wonderful!

Ayaba Awoyemi Thank you for commenting. Do you know if it was filmed? One of my favorite performances of Nina’s.

This is totally UNIQUE... as Dame Nina was !

This is good but check out Trevor Jackson on this!

My Sweet love

NON TROVO LE PAROLE PER DESCRIVERE L'EMOZIONE.INARRIVABILE

This is magnificent! George loved Nina!

Thanks Lord for giving us Nina Simone. She's a big deal to us!

well holy shit

Nina snapped on this song!!

Why you say that? 😂

Curtis Blyden Yes indeed. She went OFF!

Star brought me here

My two favorite versions of this song - undisputedly this one (a true classic concert moment) and the cover by The Stairsteps that has as yet not made it to YouTube. The version here by Nina will having you going for each of the 18 minutes and 43 seconds and her combining it with David Nelson of The Original Last Poets' "Today Is A Killer" takes it to another level and was mere genius!

Check out version by Trevor Jackson

13:40 beautiful

MI CANCION FAVORITA....DIAMANTE EN BRUTO

That bass though.

Her daughter Lisa Stroud (who has since reclaimed the sir name of Simone) is on this also. She is doing the polyrthythm you got ta sound. She was young when this was recorded. I don't believe she was even ten years old at the time. Her brother is the man singing back up on this along with a Junior Choir out of South Jamaica New York.

I was in that choir put together by my friend and her musical director Weldon J. Irvine, Jr. They both transitioned in April ...Weldon April 9, 2002, and Nina April 21, 2003. A hole in my soul.

When she says uyezwa she say I'm hearing you it's Zulu

pure art.......mason new

Absolutely FUCK-OFF piece of shit commercials in the middle of this music. I want music not corporate BS.

Wow, I am hearing this for the first time and thanks for uploading! Nina is a true artist.

Off the chain ...groove insane and message is ..

Wow I remember this recording too I used to play it to death I was 11 years old

it is me or we can hear the voice of José Feliciano too ?

: ) god

This!!! Skip nothing. Its all the nina experience

If you wish, skip the "My Sweet Lord" intro and go directly to "Today is a killer" @ 3:05

since the cover was written in Japanese didn't know it was performed at Fort Dix. I agree it may have been apocalyptic but war is like that

love this song so much paid 25 dollars about 10 years ago to get the cd. It came from Japan. It was worth the money

CERTAINLY THE BEST SINGER OF ALL THE TIMES ALL OVER THE TIMES FOR EVER

Incredible!! She was that one supreme artist who when covering a song would make it her song ... and this is just so fantastic and re-working Harrison's my sweet lord and morphing into Nelson's poem - and taking us all elsewhere. Fantastic and edgy

Real, raw, natural, words can't express how much she moves my most most inner self. 💘👌👍😎

#music  Nina Simone arrasa e atravessa todos nossos corpos energéticos!!! #love

NINA SIMONE AMERICAN GENIUS GONE TO SOON

Magnificent.

One of her finest ever moments- very special singer, truly missed!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. Thanks for putting this version on here x

if this song doesn't make you feel something inside your already dead.

Rhys Wareham I just got down to this song today after getting home from work. I literally could not not dance to it. It’s so splendid George Harrison may have made it famous, but Nina took it to church.

Nina has finally met God, I wonder what they talked about, did she called her a killer? I wonder, they're buddies sharing wine together. Cheers Guys you're our Sweet Lord

Very true!

When I was a young gal in my 20's Nina Simone opened me up to different styles of music/opinions.  I have loved this from the moment I heard it all those years ago.  Her accompaniment is not to be beat.  God Bless Nina wherever she may be.

This lyric has confused a lot of people, because the lord can't be seen; so the prayer is misguided. If you know the kingdom of god is within, and that it can't be seen, ever, why would you say you "really want to see you"? It might make for good music, but it's bad philosophy, a poor way of looking at the facts. How many have been frustrated from not seeing the lord and think they need patience, as Nina says? Too many. Those words don't apply at all. It's not a matter of seeing or patience. The lord has been reified to our detriment. Don't be fooled by it. You have access to what lord there is, the voice of conscience, anytime, and should not even bother to ask to see it. Whoever wrote this lyric was misguided.

Sis, I believe that what Nina mean is that, when she die in this world, she wanted to see Lord himself, and about the "takes too long", I guess she meant that she have a long time here to live as human in this earth.

vokof man

Dexter Haven Theres always a big dummy in the midst. Are you really this slow?

I think the lyrics of wanting to see god and it taking so long is about being able to walk around and look around and see god in all of the worlds affairs, instead of all the madness and chaos and corruption and sadness that exists. I doubt George of all people was talking about seeing god with his eyes as if he wished to be dead or something. People like to romanticise the past, but don't let anybody fool you into thinking George's day was all sweet.

The misguided thing is to say this song has anything to do with literal ‘seeing’ — for George the song was about getting past his ego. For Nina it’s about getting past oppression.

un pur diamant

il faut bien ecouter toutes les paroles de ce morceau d anthologie pour moi le meilleur morceau du monde un diamant
pure

Love this, wish there was a video of the live performance.

OMG this is just art at its best. Many thanks for this timeless and unique piece of work.So long looking for it, would love to get the actual lyrics. mmm thanks again.

(Falls to floor!) Thanks so much for adding this! Ma used to play this all the time when I was a kid and I've been searching for it on YT ever since. I always tried to sing the last note, lol.

I really wanna see that bass player in action.

Flavor :~>

Rather shameless editing to stretch out her held notes after "Today Is A Killer", isn't it? :-P

You're rich if you can buy the original LP! I still keep thinking that vinyls sound much better than many CD re-releases, but I had to deal with my money: I bought this album on CD. Not bad at all btw :)

Growing up my Mother played this throughout the house and we played it so much that the record was white!!! :-) Brings back such wonderful memories of my Mother and I have been playing it for my children as well!!! Love You MS. NINA SIMONE!!!

THE LEGEND !!!!!!!! BEAUTIFULLLLLL

As usual, Nina is making it real. What a woman. As a woman, she makes me think bad thoughts ;-). Back to reality, wish I could have met her. Musical genius and a style that can't be touched. A gift to the world. Oh yeah!!

Year's ago she performed in ATL, & a prayer to GOD was answered. I NOT only walked up to meet her, I also got to touch my FAVORITE singer in the world. My grandfather Douglas turned me on 2 her, & would tell me priceless stories about her unforgettable performances I LOVE Nina, & Douglas. Thanks 2 the both of you 4 contributing 2 my life EXPERIENCES

i have cd

Death in Vegas put this on their Back to Mine compilation, but I never knew there was an unabridged version out there. I like the poetic pauses in this.

How on Earth have I gone nearly 42 years without ever hearing anyone mention this album??!! I'm off to buy the LP now!

un super moment d'une voix géniale.Merci Nina

WoooW! now that it's SOUL!

You know you like a song when about halfway through you realize you're doing a little dance in your chair.

Bravo, bravo, bravo Nina !!!

been waiting for this one...thanks for uploading..

thank god, this is amazing!

เร่งเร้า เร่าร้อน และมีความสุข
