The Animals - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

"The Animals - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a classic song by the British band The Animals. Formed in 1964, the band consisted of lead vocalist Eric Burdon, guitarist Hilton Valentine, bassist Chas Chandler, organist Alan Price, and drummer John Steel. Their rendition of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" was released as a single in 1965.

The song quickly became a signature hit for The Animals, showcasing their unique blend of R&B, rock, and blues influences. The powerful vocals of Eric Burdon, combined with the haunting melody, captivated audiences around the world. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" speaks to feelings of vulnerability and the fear of being misunderstood in a relationship.

The lyrics themselves convey a plea, a desire to be seen for who one truly is:

"

And then you're bound to see my other side
Baby, do you understand me now
Have thoughts like any other one
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
Life has it's problems and I get my share
No one alive can always be an angel
Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human?
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
That I never mean to take it out on you
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
With a joy that's hard to hide
Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
