Despite that, you could argue that he could still portray happiness despite constant pain and oppression, but he does not do that. He does not feel fatigue, you do not hear any previous pain, or struggle. The song is simply sung as if he is just a happy guy, who is beaming positivity wherever he goes. He takes songs from artists like Ben E.
I am not trying to say that all covers are bad. The song begins acapella, and the low and raspy tones also imply fatigue, but the song does have a lot of more instrumental backings. Simone faced her share of racial and sex-based oppression, but the release of this song was in the midst of her popularity and the Civil Rights era. The song is addressing the small victories that are occurring, the largest one being the sense of unity.
During the civil rights era people were starting to join together to demand change. That sense of unity can be represented by the big band and jazz aspects added to the song.
Unlike Cocky, Simone is not alone, change is starting to happen and to show that she added complex musical backings to display this, while still expressing a sense of fatigue and a large margin of emotional discourse.
Themes of racial oppression, female empowerment portrayed in jazz and blues are large cultural moments in history that are rarely ever addressed.

Music is the perfect opportunity to provide exposure to the problems occurring around us. Listening to music is a universal pass time. A good tune, or beat can draw a wide variety of people in. Once they are enticed with a strong melody or a good beat they can start to listen and better appreciate the ideas being portrayed. People can hear emotions that would not have never experienced themselves.
The song has a strong but soft baseline and chorus, but the lyrics of the song portray the struggles of being LGBTQ within America. When he covers song all the diversity and unique qualities of the songs are wiped. There is no longer the sense of feminist power like Nina Simone had. The only things that say the same are the lyrics, but the way he portrays them in no way represents their original connotations. Only 1.
