Wild Is The Wind

The piano, her voice...everything about this song sends shivers down my spine, the piano at times just floats away on its own...so dramatic and so delicate! her voice is so warm and passionate. Man I'm just in love with this song!

Beautiful song, which is pretty self-explanatory really.

Don't you know you're life itself Like a leaf clings to a tree Oh my darling, cling to me

That is just wonderful.

The song was originally recorded by Johnny Mathis in 1956, for a film also called "Wild Is The Wind", but of course it was made most famous by Nina Simone, whose interpretation is so passionate it gives you chills.

I've been a fan of Nina Simone for a while but I've only just heard this song. It's quickly becoming one of my favourites.

As Songmeaningsuser says, it seems fairly self-explanatory. It's about a new, wild, passionate love affair. I just feel like there are darker undertones to it, like if this one goes wrong then it all goes wrong, or maybe the other person isn't quite as committed yet and that's why the speaker encourages them to let go and give them more, to let themselves go with it because in the end the wind is too wild to resist anyway.

Only Bowie can sing they lyrics "You touch me and I hear mandolins" and can make it sound sexy. This is definitely in my top 5 most romantic songs list, an ideal love song for two people deeply and newly in love.

This song was used on the 10/24/13 episode of the tv show Scandal. Not sure it fit the scene, but it definitely made me want to hear it. I see it as the desperate plea of one half of a couple in a long term relationship, that is possibly coming to an end. The person singing wants to continue and is desperately expressing their feelings. I would guess that it probably does not end well.

although from the words it seems straightforward, if we are talking about the Nina Simone version, like everything she does - i think it goes deeper. The sombre, melancholic piano music, slow drum snare, the depth of the sadness in her voice. This is about how love can leave you helpless and hopeless. - Love me, love me, love me, say you do The person she addresses has no idea how much power they have over her - she even laughs it off at one point - hmm.. Don't you know you're life itself?

best line is - like a leaf clings to a tree, oh my darling cling to me.. at this point you think she is the leaf, but its actually her object of love - almost daring him/her to love with the same intensity that she does

The intense heartfelt “Say You Do”, I can just repeat that part over & over again. It will not lose its hold over me.

Two lovers known for their flighty ways like the wind. Let’s hold this moment as long as we can because our wind like ways are bound to blow us away from each other. Let me know at least once you were mine.
