My Favorite Things
John Coltrane - Archie Shepp Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
A few words, just to shed a little light on Naima
I want to talk briefly about Naima to give some insight into the song
Her name, Naima, was inspired by this woman of great beauty
The name Naima was actually inspired by a woman who was incredibly beautiful
And I had the pleasure of meeting her once, and she was really beautiful
I was fortunate enough to meet her in person and can confirm that she was truly stunning
Sometimes I feel like she's with me in spirit, or something
Occasionally, I have a sense that she is present with me in a spiritual sense
And this composition is sort of a welcoming for her return
This song is a way for me to welcome her back or to honor her memory
Hopefully, if there is a rebirth or a reincarnation
In the event of reincarnation or rebirth, perhaps she will come back into the world
Maybe she'll hear the song and say, 'Hey, I recognize that.'
If she does return, perhaps she will hear this song and feel a sense of familiarity or recognition
So, it's just sort of a dedication to her and her beauty
All in all, this song is a tribute to Naima and the beauty that she embodied

@hugomanuschevich4587
this is wrong, this is from an earlier newport conert and its clearly Roy haynes on Drums and not Elvin. Please...
@hugomanuschevich4587
Oh I see they do Have Roy Haynes on drums on the info so the mixup is that this is not from the New Thing at Newport album. I believe this is from 1963 newport, not 65
@LH-cj6ll
I confirm, 63' set here.Best version ever to me!
