I can't stop myself from calling
Calling out your name
I can't stop myself from falling
Falling back again
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
Dark like the shady corner
Inside a violin
Hot like to burn my lips
I know I can't win
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
I tried to quit you but I'm too weak
Waking up without you
I can hardly speak at all
My girlfriend tried to help me
Get you off my mind
She tried a little tea and sympathy
To help me to unwind
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
Funny how my favorite shirt
Smells like you more than me
Bitter traces left behind
In stains no one can see
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
You're gonna put me in an early grave
I know I'm your slave whenever you call
I can't stop myself from calling
Calling out your name
I can stop myself from falling
Falling back again
Falling back again
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
Calling out your name
I can't stop myself from falling
Falling back again
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
Dark like the shady corner
Inside a violin
Hot like to burn my lips
I know I can't win
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
I tried to quit you but I'm too weak
Waking up without you
I can hardly speak at all
My girlfriend tried to help me
Get you off my mind

In the morning

In stains no one can see
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
You're gonna put me in an early grave
I know I'm your slave whenever you call
I can't stop myself from calling
Calling out your name
I can stop myself from falling
Falling back again
Falling back again
In the morning
Baby, in the afternoon

Contrary to virtually everyone on this board, I think she has a lovely, smoky voice, and I also love her laidback, jazzy style. This song is great.

I have found ALL of her stuff to be extraordinarily well recorded. Do yourself a favor and get some nice open back headphones, a nice DAC and a tube amp and kick back and enjoy!

For the most part, Jones has good songs, well-played, beautifully but simply arranged, with a entrancing voice. Who cares if I've heard similar things before? This is damn good. I just don't get the "derivative" argument. It's about soul, not orginality.
But to each his own.

Moody, liquid, enchanting. And it's not just her husky voice I'm describing. More!

It truly is head-shakingly amazing and amusing, how much hate and vitriol some people can muster up for someone making music that is, if not YOUR kind of thing, is absolutely listenable and unoffensive. I mean, she's not Kenny G for Pete's sake. :-) Yes, I get the irony.
I always feel like Norah's tunes are just a little 'too' polished. Too good, too perfected, too professional. Somehow they lose authenticity this way. Still enjoyable though.

I think she's talented. But she's not my cuppa. Fast forward.
how did this career ever get under the radar. an entirely derivative non-talent
She can defend herself well.
She knows she lean on me.
Joy sometimes she does it better
May be that was bothering me?

I must be a different species then. My GF and I met when we were both beyond childbearing age, and she has all the money.

You might be able to buy the parts you werent given genetically, but otherwise, you dont control what face and body you received.
If you are a musician, which is a "sound" craft, you shouldnt be judged on a "visual" level.

Like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard.
Her affected style is just so synthetic. The antithesis of soulful.
I enjoy nearly all the jazz stuff you mix in, Bill. But truly, Norah Jones is to jazz what David Cassidy is to heavy metal.
You almost always avoid the synthetic pop, uh, stuff, and opt for the "completely different" and the creative (The Black Keys excepted). Not sure why Ms. Jones makes the RP cut. Nothing interesting there.

WOOW, NORAH!

Norah has her time and place; I find she fits well on a rainy evening, cooking dinner or sipping wine.

Hotwired talent. Superb choice of material, superb musicians and superior vocal skills are her hallmark. Fabulous future ahead for both Norah and her listeners......

Still something about her music that feel 'artificial' - wish I could put my finger on why I feel that way - but this is much better than the overplayed breathy stuff I've heard previously.
I get the sense she's got some amazing pipes but just won't let 'em rip.

Much less snore-inducing than her most well-known first album. She even manages to sing somewhat louder than pianissimo.

No more repetitive than Jones' lullabyes. Maybe the point was that it's still muzak no matter how much you attempt to cloak it in the vapid language of music critics. News flash -- it's still muzak.
Muzak is in the eye of the beholder. Now I have heard Son Volt's new song played at Home Depot (yeah, they're cool retailers!), but its a pretty safe bet you'll never hear Porcupine Tree at any similar venue/outlet.
This Norah Jones woman is pretty good. Her music is pretty much from the heart and its good background music. And she appeals to a lot of people.
Clue.
Retailers like to play music we know and recognize to make us feel more at home and willing to spend money because we feel catered to.

One of the things I really like about Norah Jones is her diversity of styles and genres. She's doing a lot of different things, most of them pretty darn well.
Oh yeah. She's smokin' hot, too.

I just finished reading "Blink" and that was one of the stories in the book. It was about classical orchestras and the tryouts of female performers, and the solution that orchestras used to remove the "visual" bias during all tryouts.
Good mellow song, BTW. 7

Norah also had a side project of the Little willies, and she collaborated on a track "Any Other Day"? with Wyclef Jean for a hurricane relief CD....those are pretty darn good. Not as low key jazzy as her solo things. This is a 5 to me.

That is all. I can't stop moving to this song. And I need to sit still because I have to work!

Muzak!
She is a part of the radio-friendly pop nonsense. It can be liked by everyone, but it is nothing amazing or wonderful. It's nice...

the only reason we heard her so much was because of the a.r./p.r. blitzkreig.
This might apply to the radio waves, but not RP. No marketing might can push songs on here; just uploads, votes, and donations (and I'm pretty sure Bill's not getting wads of cash from that "a.r./p.r. blitzkreig" you spoke of).
For me, Norah's either a big hit or a strike out, with very little in between. This tune completely surprises me with her depth and subtlety. Quite likeable.

holy crap... something other than that song they play constantly on idiot radio...
I mean.. if regular radio played tunes like this.. and had less annoying dj's ... perhaps then I could say they get it..
and boy am I surprised.. I've not looked into Norah Jones at all because the ONLY songs I'd heard were "Don't know why", and "Come away with me".. and neither song seemed worthy of attention...
just might have to look into it.. just gotta cut the former two songs off the cd's....

While I liked her debut album, I didn't feel it was the spectacular album a lot of folks did--or at least that the marketing machines told us they did.
She does seem to dodge the sophomore bullet with this album. I like it better, in fact. Will it be an album for the ages, though? Hm...
