Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me, honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords
Strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can come by any time you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords
Strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Voices whine
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Our love
Our love
Our love is all we have

Our love
Our love is all of God's money
Everyone is a burning sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords
Strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Voices whine
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

You say that as if it's a bad thing. Many of these covers I'd never get to hear w\o RP.

I love seeing the Wilco love in this thread. Jeff Tweedy is such a prolific and underrated songwriter. I'm surprised more people don't cover his songs. I'm liking this version quite a lot.

Great cover.  Likely sacrilege but I might enjoy this >= to the original.  Norah knocks it out of the park imo.  And the way she sings "Skyscrapers are scraping together" gets me each time.

they will occasionally program a cover, followed by the original artist covering someone else. like it or loathe it, there seems to be a method to it.

Jesus doesn't exist. What's the point?

Overplayed!

I'm guessing that's Norah on her Fender Mustang

Simply superb! Lovely treatment of a modern classic... And what fun it would be to be present at a backyard coffee and gossip session with the lasses in the photo!

Its good, but just not the same without the violin from the Wilco original.

I always thought it was just a brilliant song. I felt cradled by it taking the last bus home after late nights at the lab. But the cover doesn't move me as much, which probably confirms I'm a sucker for strings (which feature on the original arrangement). I wonder how it'd sound adding them back in.

+1 to 8 so this one will play in 'My Favorites' and then my wife will hear it (which might prompt another +1?(

Love Wilco - but Norah Jones can make anything sound sweet. 
Nice .

This is a very difficult song to cover (kudos), so are Stevie Wonder songs

A song I didn’t expect Norah to cover. Love her.

I am a big Wilco Fan. But this is a nice cover version. Rated it with a 7 at first listen. The original is a 9 for me! Long Live RP. Greetings from germany to Rebecca and Bill!

This is a yes for me!  Love Norah's voice.

Agreed. I really like this version. Very laid back.
Posted 2 years ago by ironqs    [ Reply ]
I'll give it a shot. Very nice guitar with the melody and harmonies swirling around it. I could compare them (easily) to other singers but for now, I'll try not to prejudice others first hearing.
