Juz keep on Jazzin' - Norah Jones



It is rare to see someone as down-to-earth and in touch with reality as Norah Jones storming onto the music scene. She represents the arrival of a new kind of singer... multi-talented, soulful, dedicated, and sincere when she says "I'm doing it for the music." Although she is stylistically much closer to Diana Krall than Alicia Keys... Jones has the young, fresh appeal and innate skills that Keys possesses, capable of awing audiences with her voice and piano playing.

Born in New York City and raised in Dallas, Texas, Norah Jones later returned to New York to start her career. This change in culture, subtle as it may be, can be seen in her music. She combines country, blues, folk, and jazz to create yet another niche in this day and age when crossover artists come by the barrelful. Still, she stands out without even trying...

Here are some of her songs that you can download... and if you want more of her songs, feel free to leave a comment and i'll be glad to upload them for you...



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 with me 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 kigh

So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss

On a mountain top

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

Don't Know Why

I waited 'til I saw the sun

I don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sand

Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstacy

But I'll be a bag of bones

Driving down the road alone

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever

Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come

I feel as empty as a drum

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come


Cold cold heart

I've tried so hard my dear to show

That you're my every dream

Yet you're afraid each thing I do

Is just some evil scheme

A memory from your lonesome past

Keeps us so far apart

Why can't I free your doubtful mind

And melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time

Made your heart sad an' blue

And so my heart is paying now

For things I didn't do

In anger unkind words are said

That make the teardrops start

Why can't I free your doubtful mind

And melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed

That you belonged to me

But now I know your heart is shackled

To a memory

The more I learn to care for you

The more we drift apart

Why can't I free your doubtful mind

And melt your cold cold heart


Turn Me on

Like a flower

Waiting to bloom

Like a lightbulb

In a dark room

I'm just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on

Like the desert waiting for the rain

Like a school kid waiting for the spring

Im just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on

My poor heart

It's been so dark

Since you've been gone

After all you're the one who turns me off

You're the only one who can turn me back on

My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune

My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes

I'm just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on


I've Got to See you Again

Lines on your face don't bother me

Down in my chair when you dance over me

I can't help myself

I've got to see you again

Late in the night when I'm all alone

And I look at the clock and I know you're not home

I can't help myself

I've got to see you again

I could almost go there

Just to watch you be seen

I could almost go there

Just to live in a dream

But no I won't go for any of those things

To not touch your skin is not why I sing

I can't help myself

I've got to see you again

I could almost go there

Just to watch you be seen

I could almost go there

Just to live in a dream

No I won't go to share you with them

But oh even though I know where

you've been

I can't help myself

I've got to see you again


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
