Simone, Nina - Everyone's Gone To The Moon Lyrics

You guys don't get it. It's SUPPOSED to be shitty. Signing that sounds nice is too mainstream and plebian for enlightened individuals like me.

I love her extraordinary interpretation of my song especially when she goes out of tune on the words out of tune!

Oh God, Something sung at least

Oh, Gosh. This is marvelous. I did't know my Nina was still a doll.

She made this song her own..i feel more when she sings this than Jonathan

What the hell?

@tunult I agree about Nina's version - a fascinating and individual interpretation - as with Marlene Dietrich's, a classic version.

@soundof7 Mr King, yours may not be the first name that springs to mind if someone were to ask "who is THE songwriter of the modern era?" and dear Miss Simone may not be the first name when the question is framed around THE singer, but this meeting of minds ,for me, is the most heart filled, indescribably beautiful, (it also encompasses ugliness in it`s purview) recording I know of. Her reading of Leonard Cohen`s Suzanne comes close. But this truly plumbs the depths and scales the heights

I'd like to see the Dietrich or Sinatra versions. Are they available anywhere?

Hmmm it’s a very arty version and probably appealing to 1 or 2 of you out there. I’ll stick to my Joe average opinion and declare: THIS SUCKS!

Beautiful, just beautiful. Sad to see so many negative comments. I can't help thinking that the incapacity to appreciate such a voice and interpretation is a reflection of our current society, taking long and rushed steps towards the deterioration of intellect, character and scope.

Oh God, terrible.

OH NINJA PLEASE, GET THE HOOK.
THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!
I THINK MY EAR DRUMS GOT SCRATCHED AFTER THE FIRST 30 SECONDS.
it would be a good idea if she went to the moon, or beyond.

For fucks sake!!! Sounds like saturday night, 11.30, just before chucking out time at the 'old dog and duck'! ......

as someone didn't once say music is in the ear of the beholder, good luck JK.

Well Ann and other haters of Nina's version; as the writer I was fortunate enough to have terrific singers interpret my song; Marlene Dietrich, Frank Sinatra - even Percy Faith instrumentally. But this is my favourite cover; Nina gives my lyric an entire new meaning.

Sorry!! but she murders this, if you want class listen to her take of Mr Bojangles.

this songs about people who live generic lives working as slaves no soul nothing there going to the moon no one lives anymore theres no energy no sun.

people who dont like this song must be on the moon.

I don't know what people have against this song. She sings on key the entire time except when she speak-sings. The piano is dramatic and powerful. The woman graduated from Juliard with a doctoral degree in piano, I'm sure she knows what she's doing.

People aren't used to songs with meaning. Most of us are used to repetitive lyrics that say nothing. I never thought I'd say it but artistically and intellectually people of the 50's, 60's & 70's were way more deep and smarter than the following generations--in SOME ways.

listen again. its about the alienation of people and what happens when everything is gone.

sempre atual, é a arte de reinventar a música!

ela é realmente incrível!

Just a lovely tribute.

Neil Armstrong was seen on earth alone. "One giant step for everybody, one little song for Nina."

This song is simply amazing!

Jonathan King is not noted for depth in songwriting yet she has found in its enigmatic whimsy a description of modern dislocation - of course the liberties with time and tuning are part of the interpretation.

Amazing. She takes a fairly jokey eccentric vaudeville number like Screaming Jay Hawkins' 'I put a spell on you' and makes an almost terrifyingly chilling cri de coeur.

play it loud!
there's noooo-body left, evryone's gawnnn to the MOON!

Really great artistes march to their own beat, dreamboats.

I said "treatment" osa.

No, art is another word for bullshit.

Wow. To be a person who wrote a song that was sung by such incredible artists. Awesome.

Well I love her interpretation. I think my favourite is her treatment of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.

great song. nice photos. thanks

Excuse me Trixie - ONE HIT WONDER? In America perhaps but elsewhere I had dozens of hits! Don't worry - better to be a One Hit Wonder than a No Hit Wonder!

Jonathan King Muskie and I wrote it; I love her interpretation, it's weird, individual, strange... many others covered it, Marlene Dietrich, Sinatra, but Nina's is my personal favourite.

EVEN if her vocal here sounded a bit unusual, it's still absurd that so many people actually HATE this song. The melody and the piano rendition should have moved everyone to tears. Could you tell me what songs do you like then, HATERS?

This song is simply amazing!

This is a disaster. Pure agony!

Sounds like it'sbeing sung by a muppet.

-paghat the ratgirl
at the weird wild realm

she meant to sing it that way!!!!

Poor vocals from Nina, way off par for her!
