You shove your way
Through the room from the street
And finally to me
You ask me what I'm drinking

My friend Johnny
Tugging on my sleeve
Asks if I wanna leave
But what I'm really thinking is

Why can't it be easy
Easy
Why don't you leave
Leave me
Leave me be
I can see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying

I'm sitting here stuck
And plastered to my seat
I think up a reason to leave
When you finally stop speaking
I'll take a long slow
Walk down Washington Street
Half asleep on my feet
Half aware if I'm dreaming

I'll go home alone
A sinking stone
A swithed off telephone
I'll go on and be free
A frozen breeze
A fallen down factory
But I still see you swaying
And I can't hear what you're saying

I just lost the plot
Got a little caught
In a little knot
I just hit a wall
Had a little fall
Felt the swinging wrecking ball
And why should that be
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me
I'm sure you'll tell me
Why don't you tell me
I guess you'll tell me
Tell me

Have no idea why you think your opinion about her looks would be of any interest of all for the rest of us.

This tune could make me give Norah Jones another, closer listen. Good stuff!

That's a HUGE dog.  I know that the dog is in front which makes it appear larger, but even so compare the size of its head verses hers.

IMO the St. Bernard's smaller (relatively) cousin the Bernese Mountain dog is the most beautiful of all breeds.

I believe it's actually Peter Atanasoff (of Tito & Tarantula). Both he and Norah have "electric guitar" credits on this track.

So Norah co-wrote this song with Will Sheff (Okkervil River and Shearwater)
and I'd bet Sheff played the guitar
I freaking love this song.

Oops, sorry about that unintended slight, westslope; those were just two recording artists whose names came to mind.  I did not select them because of their national origins - honest.  I guess I could just have easily named Britney Spears, but her name comes up in these threads so often already.

Amazing, how she does that with her voice, like the way the guitar dances around with it...it's jarring but sweet at the same time; like it.

Norah Jones remains an amazingly refreshing voice, willing to experiment. She is incredible
Posted 11 years ago by fatcatjb    [ Reply ]
Funny... I really started to hate the combination of her voice and style after the "hit albums". Way overplayed, at the time. And I still feel like that.
But this song seems to take that away a bit. It's seems like a great song... I'll give it a 7 for now. See if the feeling persists over the next plays, and maybe I will even raise it...

a lot of us seem to be on the same wavelength regarding this song — it is more captivating than Norah's usual stuff, which I find... just, nice. This track makes me consider checking out the album.

Norah Jones.....  makes great music, no argument there.  But something is missing from her voice.  She is more or less a blues singer I suppose, but you can't feel any pain in her voice.  I'm not sure if it's technical or maybe she just has had a good life free of hardship.   I don't know, but it always bothers me when I hear her sing.  I would almost call it soulless - except that's a pretty harsh thing to say about someone I don't know.

Maybe if she tried some cheery tunes I would like her much better. 
 
You really should give a listen to her work with "El Madmo."  It's crazy, a little sloppy, and funny as hell. (I mean, how could you NOT love a song called "Rock Yer Balls Off"?) {#Lol}

Decent song, less tedious then a lot of her stuff (Besides the album with the Peter Malick Group).

Pretty good group of studio players backing her, wasted but not as badly as those backing Natalie Merchant.

Interesting interview w/Tavis Smiley 9/17/10: https://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/201009/20100917.html
She talks about how much she enjoys playing the guitar and facing the audience head-on, also about her writing processes.

Oh, why can't we get Norah in her "El Madmo" personna??  She's so funny, screechy, startling, and did I mention funny? I have some El Madmo stuff, but I can't get the right bitrates to upload it all. Still working on it - I really think a "split-personality Norah Jones" would be so much FUN here...
Posted 14 years ago by Cynaera    [ Reply ]
As with Natalie Merchant's recent work, I find my appreciation of Norah's to be steadily waning as well.
