So I found this woman on one of the most unlikeliest of places - twitter. usually there's nothing but half chewed pieces of irrelevant information on twitter (May be I'm not following the right people). There was a list of 10 best covers and I heard this song called 'Plain gold ring' by a singer called Kimbra. The song was originally sung by Nina Simone. I haven't heard the original version but I instantly fell in love with the younger woman's rendition. I loved the passion with which she sings the song in the video. Her voice makes the words come alive and you can feel the sentiment of the song. She is so truly beautiful in every way. Love this song, here's the link
Plain Gold Ring - Kimbra
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone, not me
On his hand was a plain gold band
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
And in my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears that plain gold ring
When night time comes calling on me
I know why I'll never be free
I can't stop these teardrops of mine
Gonna love him till the end of time
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
