I have rediscovered this sixties gem!
It begins like an intro to a James Bond film with the orchestra.
Nina’s voice is so distinctive! It’s like she’s bantering with the absolutely spine-tingling saxophone. It sounds like they’re just jamming.
Her first line is “I put a spell on you” and it sounds like she is bitterly angry with someone… You can so tell from her voice!
Nina has such emotion in her voice. I can totally imagine her just getting all up in some dude’s face and being all like, “And I don’t care if you don’t want me! I’m yours right now!!” *saxophone which gives you shivers*
It is such an emotive song! I’ve got it on repeat at the moment… Really listen to the lyrics, Nina delivers them like she’s really raging at somebody.
I put a spell on you
‘Cause you’re mine!You better stop the things you do
I ain’t lyin’
No I ain’t lyin’!You know I can’t stand it
You’re runnin’ around
You know better daddy
I can’t stand it cause you put me down
Yeah, YeahI put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
You’re mine!*epic sax solo*
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don’t care!
If you don’t want me
I’m yours right nowYou hear me
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine!
So amazing. Check out the live versions on youtube!
