Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
And I wanna walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
I wanna wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
This song makes me, a grown man, cry. Her name was Pamela Ann. This was her song for me. She died of cancer in 2011.
Come away with me and we'll kiss On a mountain top
Come away with me And I'll never stop loving you
This world is not for, Pamela. I long to be in your arms again. I will see you soon, my love. I know you are waiting.
I just time warped, both places at the same time, here now, and there, with the person in my dreams,,,,
No shortage of takers I would think.
Come away with me and we'll kiss On a mountain top
Come away with me And I'll never stop loving you

This song is part of a certain nightmare where I walk through 40 Dutch furniture shops with my perfectionist wife looking at overpriced designer tables with overpriced designer chairs while this song plays in the background. All 40 of them.
Still a 7 from me because Norah can't help it that for a period her album was played to death in every furniture shop in the Netherlands.
lol fantastic twist comment im giving you an 8 reminded me of a very similar situation,,,
Hate to say it -- because I hate it when others say it -- but I refer the original.
This is the original, of course, written by Norah Jones. You prefer which version over this? I was not aware of any notable covers.
can love lost for ever spring away again elsewhere?
Yes. I know this from personal experience. My spring is named Kelly.
?? Elvis is dead, you know.
if Clive Davis weren't her G-dfather there would be no career here.
Sounds like you're a know nothing
Bill you have the most wonderful voice for this job.. Love what you and Rebecca do!
If I’m not mistaken following Stan Getz with Norah Jones is a felony. If it isn’t it should be.
well I disagree, just a perfect segway... but it does bring about a bugbear I have with RP - that the same tracks appear in the same order months apart, not random at all
Look after the king of R n R please
There is clueless, and then there is this guy.
You're not "doing anything wrong". Personal taste is inexplicable -- and frankly, doesn't EVER need to be explained.
You like what you like; I like what I like.
well said, music is so personal, Norahs songs remind me of incredible 10 years of memories in on place , every time i hear them it takes me back.
live and let live but listen to your music

HiFi is your friend
Even an atheist knows there is a reason you've got ears.
"Conveyor belt strumpets" ..... captured the problem - well done!
Anoushka is also seriously talented - it's in the genes + a LOT of hard work
So what am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's my fault that Norah Jones leaves me icy cold, and it's now reaching the point of despair - there are things I don't really like, but that I can still appreciate, like Stevie Ray Vaughan or John Lee Hooker, but Norah Jones falls, for me, into the Santana and Richard Clayderman category - utter bafflement.
It's not your fault that you can't "get" Norah - think of it as a birth defect.

This is a strong song, though her version is just not doing "it" for me, maybe all the mid-century Danish furniture I'm surrounded by puts me in a fixed state

I know what you mean. I prefer cheap furniture made in China as well. Who needs designers anyway?!?

Years ago I was amazed at her popularity in Turkey - my guess is that they were picking up on the musicality - Turks have plenty of musical choices.

A SOCCER MOM!!!

Please play this song more often.
I'm thinking that she got stereotyped by her early success on the radio and really wishes the mainstream was familiar with her other stuff.
I've tried listening to her in the car, in the bath, in the bedroom, as background noise, with my full concentration, focusing on her voice, letting it just roll over me, trying to pick out the instrumentation or the production, drums, guitars, whatever in isolation, as a unified whole, taking in the lyrics for their meaning, absorbing simply the sounds of her diction for their melodiousness or lack of, and I still cannot find anything of interest, I cannot fathom why my ex-girlfriend loved her so, or indeed why anyone else likes her music. (and no, the ex-girlfriend thing is just incidental, we both loved Morcheeba and Coldplay (! - back in the days when... and that's still OK! I'm not embarrassed to say I still dig out A Rush of Blood) and she never could stand Jeff Buckley.)

Slightly generic elevator music with good organic sound.. lol. But still, not bad

Each time this plays I stop what I'm doing and go away with Norah.....9 at least.
Simply Enchanting.
She is Ravi Shankar's daughter—who knew? (well maybe others did as I didn't scroll back all the way)
I totally agree with you. This is a 9 in my book. The cruelty of people makes me sick.
9 from me as well.
If the "come away with me" invitation is still open, call me. I will.

Sorry, Uncle Cracker - Miss Nora could not wait for you to call.
WE made another descision instead - but had a spliff'n'drink on you!
PS: Woman really wait to be called, where your trailor is parked?
Well that's pretty obvious isn't it? No need to rush to her defense...she's doing just fine. It was merely my opinion is all. Isn't it great that everyone can say what's on their mind?...and then people can respond with a contrary thought? ...and no one is disrespected. Simply cool.
Yes, that is cool.
I deleted all the barf-icons because they were making me sick, and I actually ate something today so I wanted to keep it in my stomach for awhile.
Sorry you hate Norah Jones. Maybe you could check out "El Madmo," one of her alter-ego bands. FUN stuff - you'd probably love it. I know I do...
BTW: My parents would have LOVED Norah Jones's music - smooth, silky, melodic, and right on key. I'd give just about anything to be able to play her music for them and watch their expressions.

I guess this means you don't like the song.....
When it first came out this record was simply amazing to listen to - however like many things that have been hyped a little too much by the record executives; Norah, Cowboy Junkies and Natalie Merchant seem to fall into the same space for me.
I can enjoy it still - but only in minute doses, as more than anything the songs remind me of years past, love and relationships ... maybe the works have become more than pieces of music - but associations of an event and hence its harder for me to just "enjoy" the songs for what they are.
Sorry Norah - you get very little air time with me now - your tucked away with the Junkies and Tigerlily.
How do you know what she "wants to be"? Maybe she just wants to make and record music. She didn't put herself "in the foreground" (not that she is), but maybe she's popular because may people do not find her "plain, dull and the run of the mill".

Feeling sleepy, so sleepy, eyelids drooping, head nodding, vital signs slowing ...

Does she always sound like she needs a dose of Benadril? This could be a cold commercial.

Seconding that. Everyone's always so taken with her voice that they completely overlook how hot she is! Such a shame...
Hippiechick , take solace in the following: Norah Jones is BORING, right ? I mean, they play her CONSTANTLY in my local wholefoods store - as if you've got to be a jazz-listening, pastel-colour-wearing anaemic individual in order to eat wholefoods? Man, they stress me out with their bad music. xx, ciao baby.
