Lyrics:
You don't know, you don't know what it's like
No you don't, honey no you don't know
You don't know what it's like
To love anybody
Oh honey, I want to talk about love
And trying to hold somebody
The way I love you babe
And I've been loving you babe

i swear my generation misses out on such good music. im 15 yrs old and listening to barely anything from today. i cant live without 60s/70s rock i just cant it’s part of my soul ☮️✌🏻

[@mikericca500]

My son passed away 2 years ago at age 25. He was autistic but verbal and his love of Classic Rock and Classic R & B was our primary form of communication. I hope you have friends and family who appreciate an old soul like you, God bless.

[@peterreny9153]

You are so right. I don't care about this new generation with their rap and pants dropped showing their underwear and these songs about sex, killing and calling themselves the "N" word. I rather stick with the old fasion way and music. "Janis Joplin,The Doors, Led Zepplin, Scorpions, Rolling Stones just to mention a few. I only ask of you and with all respect I personally don't know you but I believe you understand what I'm saying. Let's keep these lejends alive!

[@robertchappell3916]

Some people are born with hearts that just can't handle the world as it is. Janis was one of those souls.

[@annapaula1211]

I've read that same comment. Thank you❤

[@LuBlues]

Of all the interpretations for this song, this performance by Janis is visceral. It's wonderful! *She sings with her heart and soul (she begs for the love she needs to be happy, she begs but that love doesn't come.. we can feel it in her voice, in her lament)!* If we listen to all the interpreters, including the Bee Gees (owners of this masterpiece), we couldn't identify "the same pain, the same feeling, despite dealing with the same music". Isn't that incredible? Nina Simone, Michael Bolton, Michael Bublé and many others singers.. and, even so, "we don't find that same pain and supplication, in search of a great love".. wow, it's an impressive performance! How not to love this blues goddess, with her torn and powerful voice moving us with this beautiful blues? Impossible to hear "To Love Somebody" in Janis's voice and not repeat it, over and over again! It's so beautiful! Thank you sweet Janis! You are timeless in all your songs and more the ones you recorded as a performer! I love you forever!🌹😘💜👏👏👏

[@tomp.7725]

This version is good but I am addicted to the time Janis sang this on the Dick Cavett show, check it out on KZbin, such power and emotion that came from that tortured soul. It's funny that Dick Cavett, the antithesis of Janis, simply adored his little songbird.

[@LuBlues]

​@@tomp.7725 But this version, "is the authentic version of her performance on The Dick Cavett Show". And yes, they were very good friends. Dick Cavett adored her. I have a "compiled dvd" of her last three performances on that show. Her Instagram profile posted this version. It's very moving to watch her singing this song live! It's visceral, it's too beautiful!! ❣️🥰

[@trishoconnor2169]

Every word, every note she sings, sounds as if she has lived it, no matter who wrote it. What masterpieces might she have created if she had lived longer?

[@ericpreston5826]

To think she died at 27. The definition of an old soul.

[@jamesgreen4522]

At 70 years old, I have heard a lot of good music. Early rock, 60s rock and blues. Southern rock, country and other great times. My taste is blues based. Janis had one of the best blues voices ever. Her music reminds me of Etta James. She died so young.

[@dalvasilvasantos6101]

true

[@69ozz69]

Yeah, Etta could sing stuff that I wouldn't want to be in front of, but with Janis I would be OK with. Hope that makes sense to ya, old-timer. Peace, James - you da Man.

Have you listened much to foreign music? I love blues myself, one of my favourite singers is czeslaw niemen. He has a mix of songs from blues to progressive rock, soul and fusion, so much. His best song is 'Dziwny Jest Ten Swiat'. There are two versions, Polish one is better. I really do recommend it though. :)

To Love Somebody from one of the greatest musical artists of all time. She has a way of reaching out and touching someone that makes me know that even though she livef a short life it definately was a full live where she has been able to reach out and touch anyone for all eternity. With her music and style in the way she sings she will definately live on in the hearts of so many.

When this fine beautiful woman sings her song you can tell she needs a love to help her though her problems.

When I lived in the Haight Ashbury I used to pass by in front the place were she lived sometime near by. I arrived too late to meet her in the street. I just got the last breath of those years that changed the world.Not far from there had lived also Jimmy Hendrix, and there was a little museum called '' the Jimi Hendrix church''.. When I think of those years, in my boring life in Paris I feel like it was a dream. I thought that was life and that it was like this any where. I was wrong. I never found a place like San Francisco those days. I went back but it was not he same.. the magic had gone. There are times in life..that are unique.
