Norah Jones

[QuickDuck]

No no no, not our Nora

I just discovered this girl and boy can she sing.

its hard to say what style it is since on the CD i have there are a few different one, but i would put it as jazz/blues

do yourselves a favour and find her, listen to her... she's goooood! (and looks good too )

 

[Eumenides]

Oh, dear, poor ducky. You JUST discovered her? *lifts rock* Ahhh...you've been living there!

I love her music.

 

[calypso_21]

She is amazing! I've been posting her lyrics in the dedication for months! Her voice is sultry as all hell!

Glad you found her Ducky!

My favorite:

"Come Away With Me"

Come away with me in the night
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

I want to 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 mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to 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

 

[Vilac]

Never heard of her.

Is she anything like a Diana Krall? or...give me a point of reference.

Sounds like something I may be interested in.

[islandman]

Ditto the rock comment.

 

[Minout]

She has the kind of voice that makes me want to fall in love with women.

 

[Kitte]

Norah has been a steady part of my musical faves since early summer, she has a great voice and her lyrics are amazing...I have posted one or two myself in the Dedication... she holds a very special place in my heart...Glad you found her.

 

[QuickDuck]

A previous Prime Minister (Paul Keating) once called Australia "the arse end of the world".... it appears he was right

Ok ok yes i have only just found her

 

[JazzManJim]

Never heard of her.

I'd say she's a vocal mix between Diana Krall and Rickie Lee Jones.

I found her album about a week after it was released and waxed rhapsodic about it here for a while...

 

[Nora]

I don't like her name.

 

[kjtatts]

I hadn't heard of her, either Ducky, till fairly recently. (its not the usual sound I go for...) But, I must say..... I think she's as sexy as hell !!!

 

[k¡tty]

I adore Norah Jones! She has such a smooth voice and wonderful lyrics.

I love that one as well Cybergirly and these are two of my other favorties of hers ~

"The Nearness Of You"

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you


"Shoot The Moon"

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?

Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give in
It's all over

When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season
