Feeling Good

        It's so ironic that this song is what I'm posting for the first time in almost a month considering this is the worst day I've had in a very long time. BUT when my days are bad, my dark side rages and it's manifested in art like this. This is not the video I wanted to post. The actual video to this song is SICK and twisted and so I love it, and I encourage you to watch it on YouTube, but the song is really good too. This song is known for being difficult to cover. Many have tried, many have failed, Michael Buble did wonderful and, of course, Ms. Nina Simone was the ultimate. But this cover is different. I've been sleeping on Muse for a long time but I may actually pay closer attention to them now. It only take something like this to get my attention. This is probably the most original cover I've ever heard of this song, and it's incredibly sexy. Enough blabber. Sit in your dark room, close your eyes, turn this up, and listen. Repeat if necessary.

Now Playing...The One and Only Nina Simone

     This song does things to me. It gives me chills. Ms. Simone using her signature scatting and feeling the music harder than any artist ever could. She was unconventionally gorgeous, she had a strong baritone voice, and she had soul. And I really wish Mia Michaels would choreograph a dance to this song.





"I don't care if you don't want me, I'm yours right now." Tell me that wasn't the most cherry thing you've heard all day. Ta ta.
