Happy new week to this amazing community and the judges @lordbutterfly @verbal-d @silentscreamer. Congratulations to the past winners and all the nominees, it only gets better.
For this week I chose to do a song from one of my absolute faves; Nina Simone, titled Don’t let me be misunderstood. Don’t let me be misunderstood was the very first song I heard of hers and I was immediately captivated. I went straight to business scoring the song, reading about her, watching her past interviews and just getting to love her more.
Don’t let me be misunderstood is a very deep song as it touches on sensitive themes such as HUMAN IMPERFECTIONS, She admits to not always acting right but stresses that mistakes don’t define her true character. Which is very true and relatable.
DESIRE FOR COMPARISON:The song is a request for patience and understanding from others. Everyone longs to be loved and truly understood.
Inner goodness versus outer flaws,
Loneliness in misunderstanding and being misjudged. The list goes on!
As a young secondary school boy back then, finding this song was very special to me as it came at a point where it felt like I was screaming and no one could hear me.
I hope as you listen you feel the music, the notes, the words and enjoy every bit of it.

Lyrics
Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
But oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
You know sometimes, baby I'm so carefree
Oh, with a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
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 me 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?
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard so please don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, please

well done mi querido negro, only constructive idea for you is " please do not mention the Lord Almighty God on worldly songs like yours, as He has his own hymns ".
