Simone, Nina - Isn't It A Pity Lyrics
Isn't it a pity
You don't know what I'm talking about yet
But i will tell you soon
It's a pity
Isn't it a shame
Yes, how we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Forgetting to remember
Just forgetting and no thank you
Isn't it a pity
Some things take so long
But how do i explain
Why not too many people can see
That we are all just the same
We're all guilty
Because of all the tears
Our eyes just can't hope to see
But i don't think it's applicable to me
The beauty that surrounds them
Child, isn't it a pity
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
The most precious thing
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Forgetting to keep open our door
Isn't it a pity
Isn't it a pity
Some things take so long
But how do i explain
Isn't it a pity
Why not too many people
Can see we're all the same
Because we cry so much
Our eyes can't, can't hope to see
That's not quite true
The beauty that surrounds them
Maybe that's why we cry
God, isn't it a pity
Lord knows it's a pity
Mankind has been so programmed
That they don't care about nothin'
That has to do with care
C-a-r-e
How we take each other's love
The most precious thing
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Forgetting to keep open the door
But i understand some things take so long
But how do i explain
Why not too many people
Can see we're just the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
God, isn't it a pity
The beauty that surrounds them
It's a pity
We take each other's love
Just take it for granted
Without thinking anymore
We give each other pain
And we shut every door
We take each other's minds
And we're capable of take each other's souls
We do it every day
Just to reach some financial goal
Lord, isn't it a pity, my God
Isn't it a pity, my God
And so unnecessary
Just a little time, a little care
A little note written in the air
Just the little thank you
We just forget to give back
Cause we're moving too fast
Moving too fast
Forgetting to give back
But some things take so long
And i cannot explain
The beauty that surrounds us
And we don't see it
We think things are just the same
We've been programmed that way
Isn't it a pity
If you want to feel sorry
Isn't it a pity
Isn't it a pity
The beauty sets the beauty that surrounds us
Because of all our tears
Our eyes can't hope to see
Maybe one day at least I'll see me
And just concentrate on givin', givin', givin', givin'
And till that day
Mankind don't stand a chance
Don't know nothin' about romance
Everything is plastic
Isn't it a pity
My God.

G HARRISONS MASTERPIECE .WELL DONE .2020 .WAR KILLING .MIDDLE EAST ON FIRE .AFRICA .INDIA/PAKASTAN .ETC...THE WARLIKE WAYS OF MAN
I am touched by this song..I am mesmerized...I am inspired...I am thoughtful...I am moved to love more, to forgive more, to be more caring, to respect more, to look for the goodness and beauty in people...to think that there is still love in this world despite all the crime and violence, despite all the hatred, despite all the wars and destruction...there is hope..there is love....this song has touched my innermost...and this is 2020..maybe this is the year of change for me and for you. Sending love from Belize to the rest of the world..sending love to you!
What a beautiful sentiment and song about respecting eachother and not abuse love
This song should be credited to George Harrison, since he wrote it and recorded it on his "All Things Must Pass" album.
The credits go to the singer on the record, i'm sure on the vinyl cover itself it has the george harrison credit but its not a youtube requirement. once you open that door forget it how many artist do we have to list for cover songs? do we list everyone that ever sang the song or the person that penned the song and not the singer because they didnt write it?
mitcholobe A correct songwriting credit is literally only two words—their first and last name. Do you think that’s too much???
@7JANEWAY No but for youtube its listed correctly. Only the artist that your listening to needs to be credited. Anything else is, do I dare to say it being a nitpicker. If your so worried read the comments Mr. Harrison has bee mentioned numerious times. Also, most people know the artist she does covers. Believe me I'm one for giving credit where credit is due but I also don't believe in overdoing it.
mitcholobe You would not feel like it was nitpicking if it were YOUR song (and I’d be the first to back you up).
@7JANEWAY that's why he wass given credit on the album it's not that hard to understand. On this platform it's not required.
Beautiful song by a great man sung by a great women.
Nina Simone is someone who has Ambiance in a way others have volume ,lots of it ,wish I had seen her live .

Breaking the 666 comments 🐓
I am in awe of Nina Simone I heard her on a "Juke Box" on the south side of San Antonio It was about 1973. Her mind was about a hundred years ahead of me. Rare as a Red diamond.
Wow! Im so moved by the way this amazing woman snagged this song! Truly she's singing her heart's song! What a message she has given to the people during her performance. I love songs of the heart!
Who is that?.....that photo isn’t Nina.
Correct pls the writers that's a G.Harrison song
20 / 20

@Emiliano Bassetti ... Hey I know it but try to look for Benjamin clementine... He look like her with a wonderful vibe and voice.
https://youtu.be/00yQGeJ6AOM
@Biah Kadın i know him and i like very much, but not like Nina!
So unnecessary. Just a little time.
read Maya Angelou The Peckerwood Dentist as you listen for total effect of prejudice on a little 9 year old black girl in the Deep South, in deep pain.
It
s a though Nina has reinvented music and the voice.
It is a pity, and also a blessing.
Awesome beyond description. You've been such a blessing. I can't bare to say goodbye. Thank you Nina Simone.
"Every thing is plastic. Isn't it a pity?"

What a woman
Not just a woman, a goddess
Beauty of love is betrayed in so many ways yet, we CAN make things better. I have seen true beauty and I BELIEVE. It is up to YOU and ME...
Yes! Yes!
She is a wonderful artist. I love her.
This is the first time I’ve heard this song sung other than George Harrison and it is just as great.
Fantastique x
If this song doesn't touch ones soul something is definitely wrong.
Yeah like there isn't one there
You don't take love. You give love. Still a brilliant piece by Nina Simone
Toxoplasmosis and toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protozoan that is transmitted through the spread of feline fecal matter and infests the lungs, eyes, brains and hearts of innocent infant humans, where it leads to the causation of cysts that damages cones, rods, alveoli, ventricles, axons, dendrites and in particular synapses, this leads to the blockage of cellular reuptake receptors in ion channels... the SMRI studies the link between this and the on set of schizophrenia, South Australia has an annual loss of 70 million in ruminants... (and Queenslands prisons cost 2.1 million dollars per day and it is $300.64 per day, per prisoner... dole bludgers dont get that spent on them!, did i mention the fact that bent and rusty syringe needles are sharpened on the concrete and steel bed bases before being inserted into arms, the $2.1 million per is just to house, feed, clothe and maintain the health of these bastards, any intravenous disease is an additional community cost)

Nina put a spell on me.
This George Harrison song is one I used to play a lot back in the seventies and eighties.... Of course Nina, well she takes it to another level
I wish I could hug Nina <3
Done know!
First time hearing this and I'm blown away. I dig the white noise of the vinyl too great recording.
Same here
Her playing ...her voice ...her performance ...her soul !
cried a bit and knew. . I was in hurt. . pain in my heart melt away and dissappear after i listen to this song. What a singer she is. .love her so much
Magnificent ... the original by Nina Simone (I heard this first in the Concert for George rendition by Billy Preston which will then blend into La la la ... from Hey Jude) ... the original is just astoundingly magnificent ..
Anyone watching in 2019? ✋😌
Yesssss
Oh yes, and for many years to come
I think that many musicians must watch their attitude when Nina plays piano and sings.
meu deus, que musica linda!!!! emocionante
This singing is exquisitely oozing “Soul”. It hugs my heart and brain and swing me back and forth like a baby in my mum’s arms. Same “being” experience as when listening to Um Kalthoum in Inta Umri.
Thank you Nina for helping me see the “beauty that surrounds us”. You are definitely part of “The beauty”. However I feel deeply sad that you had to give so much to learn about “The beauty” and subsequently so generously and unselfishly pass it on to us.
Be assured that I will pass it on to my child who I hope will pass it on to someone in the future.
Thank you Nina Simone
Kaouther Ghabri St. Clair thankyou Nina Simone.
She sure was good looking when she was young and thin.
We need more copper colored sisters like this in this world we live in timeless
Best i ever heard
C'est tout simplement sublime...
Still 11/20/19 isn't it a pity..💕 Thanks Nina Simone..
That sound of a record is being played 🥰
Yep, forgetting to give back😢
It's why I love love .... cause CHRIST'S love requires no reciprocity it's selfless truely unconditional beyond vows it's a covenant yall enjoy!
Nina shows us a true soul from bottom of her mind.
Let's be good to each other.
Do you think 3rd worlders will listen to that message?
2019 and it's a pity that the world is still filled with more hate than love. Climate change, racism, sexism, homophobia, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, threat of nuclear war and more...why would anyone want to bring a child into this world?
Some things take so long....indeed.
Siempre, siempre hay tiempo para Nina Simone. Gracias Nina.
Legenda 😍
wow- what a song; what a performance! thank you for posting!
What a song.... Nina!!
What a talent to make every song her own! Unique and fabulous!
Fantastic
This is the first time I'm listening to this version of this song, and it's amazing! I really appreciate the upload.
I'm curious why the composer of this song, George Harrison, wasn't even credited, but two other "writers" are listed here? Apparently they put their names here for posting this. Fine, but at least give the original composer credit.
From her Soul...
New anthem for america
Questa è una di quelle cose che scopri per caso e che ti ricordano perché vale la pena vivere
Chanson parfaite pour la situation de la France en ce moment. #allthesame
I know what about you told me. The time is here. Only you can't give in every time for everyone because that's would be an unbalanced world. If you don't know what's the sadness, you don't know what's the happyness. If you never cried, you can't give a honestly smile.
Such a beautiful yet sadly true song
Божественная Нина
Right now this song described my life my marriage my relationship, My dear wife came down with cancer and she went cold, Meaning she pushed me away. I'm just here to help for her sickness. Hoping she get the better, she tossed the marriage away.
Hope she gets better my dear🙏❤️
@Khouloud Kiki thank you much!!!
Much love!
I’m here for you my brother , take care and keep on keeping on
I first heard this song by the version of my favorite singer Youn Sun Nah and deeply moved by it. Nah said the Nina Simone version inspired her to record it so I am here... and weeping like a child
Grande Dame💔💟💞🌌
This woman was magic, the type that happens only once 👌💞💞💞💞💞
