Nina Simone - Here Comes the Sun (Audio)

  

"Here Comes the Sun" - Nina Simone

While The Beatles originated this hopeful tune, Nina Simone provides a version with a little more depth and expression that feels spot-on for this time of year. 

Simone's soulful, one of a kind voice puts a cozy spin on the classic as she ad-libs over a relaxed, jazzy beat and tinkling piano accented by warm, romantic harp and harpsichord. 

Her version of "Here Comes the Sun" manages to acknowledge both the difficulty of her "long cold lonely winter" and exult in the fact that "it's alright" as she ad-libs over angelic backing vocals. 

This cover can certainly soothe your seasonal blues and have you appreciating whatever sun you may get.
