| | I heard this song tonight played in a documentary about the civil rights movement in the late '60's. I think the singer was Nina Simone. The song hung over Martin Luther King Jr's funeral procession, and I could feel the sense of grief in the black community at that time through the haunting way she sang it.
But it is a love song at heart, with a touch of melancholy. I've changed the colour of hair to match that of my true love. Check out Nina Simone singing this on YouTube and you'll likely be blown away. In the mean time, while you're here, why not take a listen to my take on it:
