Listen the track 'December's Boudoir'(1968) by the Bronx child prodigy and genius, Laura Nyro, still ahead of its time, and music as art.

[@lupcokotevski2907]

Kanye in 'Glory' samples Nyro, as have many other rap artists. Also check out Nyro with LaBelle (of Lady Marmalade) on the track 'Gonna Take a Miracle'.

This video is pure art. I've always loved it. Completely underrated song.

[@novacaine717]

Underrated artist, in general, unfortunately. ❤

[@NotYourMamasChannel]

I see as a metaphor of all the garbage and propaganda the media tortures us with.

[@simonbradley7250]

this music video is a homage to a part of the film, The Holy Mountain (1973), although, a warning, the film is not for the faint hearted.

[@angelaxsacbe]

As a fact, art is generally underrated by those evil ones in the power, but far from appearence, art cannot go unseen, every one of us can appreciate it, no matter what they lead us to believe

[@kimberleyyy328]

My mom won a Zune, if anyone remembers those, on the radio in 2008 and this song was on it when she got it. I was 13. I'll be 21 next month. Time fliesssssss.

[@amoassa5349]

Merci Nova ❤

[@daisylefleur]

My best friend at the time showed me this song after she posted it on her MySpace when we were 15/16. Reminds me of when we use to take the Redline to Chinatown on Fridays/Saturdays & would listen to this - with one headphone each. We are both 30/31 now and drifted apart, for no reason perhaps, or I guess just life. No matter the reason, this song always brings the fondest memories of our friendship.

[@celebridee]

You should text her the link to this video ❤

[@mike0rr]

I just messaged my old highschool friend this song reminds me of. Were not friends, but were "friends". But I miss the good ol days and its a good enough excuse to reach out over. Music is great like that. Well, good music.

[@thecocktailian2091]

We live life for the moment. But more, we live life for the memories. And good friends give us those two most important pieces of life. The time spent with those friends is a life long treasure.

I cry when I hear this song. Happy tears. The summer this album dropped was one of the most amazing times in my life. That friend group, we’ve sadly lost so many but I cherish that summer. Time flies but it’s beautiful with her music

[@Cheesus4jesus]

[@Jet-ok7qm]

This song is a gem. It never got played on the radio where i live. I only knew it from 1 of the nhl games. Its so nostalgic to me now and will never lose its value to me. It always makes me feel a heavy feeling of calm and nostalgia every time and it never fades.

[@sergecharlebois6114]

In which NHL game was this in?? I've been playing that since NHL94 every year and never noticed!!

[@luzdoalem]

this song feels so complementary to gwen stefani’s “what you waiting for?” . both have this vulnerable and hopeful approach, very raw and beautiful.

I like the lyric I thought I heard, “I’m an introverted instigator” better...

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

Very cool, when we invent for ourselves to fill in the blanks where we aren’t sure of, and then we later learn that we were somehow compelled to give just a little of our own artistic creativity in our desire to complete those lyrics for ourselves instead of leaving any parts out, no!?! And then, sometimes, we contribute on a much grander scale meanwhile refusing to believe that we invented anything, forever insisting that we heard it. I honestly believe that’s just what that lyric is all about! If she put the line we swore we heard, which is of the greater value or utility? The great lyric she sang?! or the inspiration that came to us that compelled us to put what we heard her sing?!
