Nina Simone: Don't let me be misunderstood
/
I love this song for so many reasons. Primarily because Nina Simone is arguably one of the mothers' of soul and my Mom Loves Nina Simone.
"If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems
And I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
Cause I love you
Oh baby
I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?"
Growing up made me realize how amazing my mother is. Calm under pressure, resiliency, and determination with conviction among other things...I all got those skills from her. I could amount to a third of who she is I'd consider myself a success. I remember hearing Nina through different times of my life. So it seems fitting to share one. Happy mothers day.
