A quieter page for one job: get you to the bass version of the song and out of the way.
About this version
If you are here for the bass part, that is probably all you need to know. Open the track, stay with the line, and get a few clean repetitions in.
Useful for
learning notes and movement
Useful for
checking where the line really sits
Useful for
short practice loops before a full run
A simple way in
A version for learning the line, checking the pocket, and playing along without the rest of the mix getting in your way.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
Notes
"Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” by Nina Simone Follow Nina Simone everywhere: https://linktr.ee/ninasimone Find this track on the album “Broadway-Blues-Ballads”: https://NinaSimone.lnk.to/DLMBMonYT Shop Nina’s music and merch: https://NinaSimone.lnk.to/ShopNina This stunning new video for Nina Simone’s iconic track “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” blends the artistry of hand-drawn animation with the expressive energy of contemporary dance, creating a unique and moving visual experience. Through the animated interpretation of choreographed dance, the song gains a new dimension, visually amplifying the timelessness of Simone’s honest and poignant message. This breathtaking piece is cross-medium collaboration between animation director Nevil Bernard and contemporary dancer and choreographer Fukiko Takase. Starting the process from Takase’s filmed solo dance performance of the song , the choreography has been fully interpreted through the use of expressive animated drawings, capturing its essence in a rhythmic and free-form style. The identity-searching protagonist’s silhouette is purposely ambiguous and anonymous to highlight the universality of the feelings manifested through Simone’s struggles and unique performance. Throughout the dance, the protagonist plays with, fights against and ultimately embraces these conflicting emotions. VIDEO CREDITS Direction and Animation: Nevil Bernard Production Company: echo.
