I can hear this song, being played at my funeral, and all my family and friends singing along, and smiling as they know I have moved to a better, happier place. I love the juxaposition, of this and S&G's Mrs. Robinson, both saying goodbye..... Very good plan. And I would want to finish with "Layla". Seems to me a song for ending things. |

Hannio Aug 29, 2011 - 08:58 | Yep. Any day now. I'm holding my breath. |
Cynaera Jun 27, 2011 - 13:48 | I really love Nina Simone's voice, but this song is just not doing it for me. One of her background vocalists is off-key - just enough dissonance that the whole track was out of whack, to my ears. (Romeotuma, can I borrow your ears to make this song good for me? What a pal you are! |
bseib Jun 27, 2011 - 13:44 | Nina, you are incredible! |

newwavegurly Feb 21, 2011 - 08:25 | I see my light come shining From the West down to the East Any day now, any day now I shall be released... Yes, you will. You will indeed. |
