Washington, Dinah - This Bitter Earth Lyrics

I have always loved Dinah Washington; however, Max Richter has taken Dinah to an unimaginable height.

speechless

Pure. Heartbreaking. ♥️

First time hearing this one. Amazing👍✊✌

What good am I? Heaven only knows. This is my motto!

Such a haunting song. It stays with you long after it's over.

What a beautiful voice.
Wonderful voice, from yesterday and today.
Forever timeless.

it simce like a million years ago

So peaceful and beautiful.

My Mother used to play her 33's of Dinah Washington until they warped, didn't appreciate her then but boy do I now. Mother's always know best

This is absolute genius!! My daughter is performing to this  with her dance company and it is so hauntingly beautiful. I remember the original and cannot believe Max Richter was able to get this so perfect..with the one and only vocals of Dinah! Exquisite!

I didn't know her age at her passing 3 years AFTER thus song..I grew up Loving her music that was done then I'm 67years now still in Love with the Voice behind the person..

breaks me

i wish i could kiss the person who wrote these lyrics...lets dig her up

Beautiful arrangement. Stunning.

1:47
I have waiting years to find this song, after hearing that small bit played in Disconnect..in my personal favorite scene. Such a powerful song. This is beauty in it's purest form.

Wow! magnificent voice full of conviction!

Powerful!

Heaven only knows...

Saw her on S. side of Chicago in the 69's. What a wonderful sound--and this rendition is so beautiful!

Helps me to see life more fully in its sad beauty.

PERFECTION!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Wow, I just feel like.. Wow.. In ballet I have a dance on this song and everytime the music starts.. I just can feel my heart beat out of my chest.

My goodness! 😍😍😍

Never heard of her. First, time made me stop and listen! Awsome...

Beautiful💘

Beautiful

Wow, glad I found her. This tune and the violins are....no words to describe it.

So beautiful

One of the most powerful and epic voices ever to grace a microphone

A marvelous voice and melody

awesome nice and deep :D

I was born too late, because I LOVE this lady!

Beautiful ! ! !

Max Richter is one damn genius, and Dinah should have lived a hundred more years...

the movie good,but this is wunderbar.

They use this in the new production of Romeo and Juliet at The Globe and it's amazing

I Love it

for me she is the greatest singer. the clarity of her voice. dictions. it is so pure. she dont need to shout. she is just simply amazing. Hail to the Queen.

just listen......

Isn't it something that the people who's voices have historically been oppressed have the strongest most beautiful ones.

Many thanks for posting this song on TY

Most beautiful melody sang by one of the beautiful sweet soul singers of all time ....Dinah Washington

That hides the glow of a rose

Absolutely beautiful!

so intense so deep so part of me...I'm sure someone may answer my call...incredible ecstasy

so imaginative feeling deeply inside my heart

what a music!!!

beautieful

I wish Dinah could hear this herself... .

Beautiful

Hello Johnybladex.  First thank you for posting this song. This version nearly brings me to tears.  Can you provide some history:  Did Dinah do this remake or did someone take her original version and just add the new instrumentals?

Just in love by this Song!

beautiful

On the Nature of Daylight is a beautiful song on its own. But when I listen to it on its own it evokes a different emotion in me. Adding Dinah's beautiful singing completely transforms the song into something new. Each is beautiful in its own separate way, even though they are almost the same.

magnifique

Perfection

Dinah..an underrated artist..what a voice.

Dutchmusicfan1992 Yes. Definitely underrated! I have always been a huge Whitney fan. However, my older brother is a big Dinah fan. He 'introduced' me to her many years ago. Glad he did.

Magnifique

Love this song a rather tad, thank you for posting with the lyrics!

Best mash of two songs I've ever heard.

Absolutely amazing song. Listening to this music just touches my soul. Love this

10/10 iain roush loves song

lyrics r pure poetry & great arrangement ( love the violins ) does justice to ms Washington's eloquent , expressive performance

This is too good, love it!!!!!!!!

I just had to hear this song being sung by this beautiful woman with the most incredible voice. Because of all the ugliness I see going in America just makes me depressed. We have got to do better we must change for the better.

When I die. I want this song to play at my funeral.

Me too......

What a lovly song...

Next year I'm so glad to say this will be my solo song! it's my favorite song, with all its accents and melodies, it's endless pleasure.

For Philando Castile. America is a major part of this bitter earth.

everything about this song; the instruments, her beautiful voice, the lyrics... they all touch the deepest part of my soul.

this song made me cry becausee of the beatuty and true words it hurt in the best way it could and made me miss peeps and animals

"Today you're young. Too soon you're old."
Love those simple words. I'm only 20 but even still it feels like yesterday I was just a kid, playing videos game with my sister or out by the pond with my friends with no worry in the world. This song always reminds me to remember where I am and to appreciate that I'm still here because time really is the greatest commodity of all. Before you know it, it'll be time to check out whether you're ready for it or not.

Salve Cartel!!

The Secret World brought me here.

haunting.
