Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?

Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer
To a question I can't ask
I don't know which way the feather falls
Or if I should blow it to the left

Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?

All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away
...you can take me away

Brian Blade's drumming is unmistakable, only came to know him via Emmylou's Wrecking Ball and ALL thanks to RP.

I met her in person after an intimate concert here in Detroit just before her rocket to the top. (No, I had nothing to do with it!)

She's like, 4' 3" (or so it seemed!). A small thing. But OMG!! What a set 'o pipes. Will never forget that beautiful evening filled with her mesmerizing voice... ... I'm, like... married ... right?{#Hearteyes}

Make me a poster from an old rodeo.

It's my favorite chord progression, dramatic and beautiful; I can love it in a thousand different guises.

For a second there I was thinking this was a Natalie Merchant song and I was a bit surprised I was enjoying it.

And then maybe it's just the fact that Nora just layed it down so right?

Maybe it's just my mood, or what I've been through lately, but this song hits just the right chord for me. The perfect blend of tuneful background music and vocals. Makes me want to trot out Carole King's "Tapestry" CD and listen to it from beginning to end.

Conversely, I'd still love to hear Norah Jones's alter-ego, El Madmo, here somewhere, too. I can't help but love "Rock Your Balls Off." {#Cheers}

Oh, this is so boring and so . . . nothing.

Sorry, please add a Simone song against this nothing-ness . . .

 Regardless of the specific song, I do not see the fact that commercial radio where you live is playing this to death has any relevance to RP playing it. I for one do not listen to anything but minor, generally accidental bits of commercial radio. I also guess that listeners to RP outside North America may not be exposed to American commercial radio. Probably every listener here finds some songs overplayed (here, there, and everywhere), while others find the same songs delightful, and even new. I have never heard this particular song, for example.

I love the way Norah plays counterpoint to her singing on some phrases. This song brings back memories of my last Grand Canyon hike and the trip up there.
