I never understood how this week’s song was a hit around the world and yet only made #80 on the UK Singles Chart. I have just learnt that it was the third single from the album so I can only assume that everyone in the UK had already bought the album by the time this single was released and so already had the song.
“Come Away with Me” is a song written, produced, and performed by Norah Jones. It was released on 2nd December 2002 as the third single from her debut studio album, Come Away with Me. The song reached #21 on the US Billboard Top 40 and peaked at #2 in Canada. The Come Away with Me album peaked at #1 on the US Billboard 200, and received Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal. It was later certified Diamond by the RIAA for shipments of over ten million copies in the United States and went on to sell over 27 million copies worldwide making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.
The album features Jones supported by jazz musicians: Kevin Breit, Bill Frisell, Adam Levy, Adam Rogers, and Tony Scherr on guitar; Sam Yahel on organ; Jenny Scheinman on violin; Rob Burger on accordion; and Brian Blade, Dan Rieser, and Kenny Wollesen on drums. Jones wrote the title song herself which incorporates blues, jazz and folk music. Bobby Dodd of All About Jazz wrote that although the album features jazz standards, jazz purists and academics “may deny jazz credibility for her folk infusion”.
Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Come Away with Me at #54 on its list of the 100 Best Albums of the Decade.
Enjoy…

Who remembers 8 track stereo systems?
Never heard of Norah Jones but how pretty is she?
She came from nowhere to being a superstar with that album which I still have. So relaxing.
Where have the years disappeared to, I remember listening to this on CD.
What I wouldn’t give for an old eight track and a Cadillac instead of the plastic crap we drive today.
Norah, don’t be picking up strangers!
This came out when I was about 14 and I still love it!
Sounds so mournful and heartfelt.
Me: Don’t tell mom where we hid her birthday presents.
3yo: I won’t.
Wife: Hi guys.
3yo: Mom your birthday presents are definitely not under my bed.
That guy doesn’t seem that interested so I think she should come away with me!
What a great song, it’s like floating on a cloud.
I had a dream once that I invited Norah Jones for a cig after her show and she walked outside and lit up. Then she told me I should come away with her.
She absolutely smashed that!
What a voice, she can be my pied piper.
This Is The First Song That Davidd Has Picked That I Like && If I Was A Lesbian, I Would Come Away With Her!!
OMG OMG!!
I am better at Football than Arsenal and I am a Fucking Pigeon. Yep.
Love this song!
So who’s coming out panic buying tomorrow ahead of nodeal brexit?

Never mind Netflix putting an accuracy warning on The Crown. If you want to put a fact-check on anything, first up should be the “British Birds” Top Trumps scoring.
A true PACK OF LIES especially the “cute rating”!!
How’s it nearly Monday again already? Fuckin had enough of these weekends flying by yeno!
I wish I had just once in my life fallen as hard in love as YouTube vloggers have fallen in love with the word iconic.
This year has been the longest 10 minutes of my life!
Last day of school coming up. Going to get everyone to sign my hat and then fly up to the Leasowe Common to get sh*tfaced on Thunderbird.
Gone Christmas Fishing best Christmas special since our lot were on the box.

I got the vaccine yesterday and today my car got a flat tire. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
I’m never in that much of a rush where I need to do joined-up writing.
Rolf report 14 Dec
I’ve learnt that if I stand by a closed door in the house, someone will open it for me. So I’ve adopted the same logic for the printer in the office. Each day when I start my duties as Chief Technology Officer, I patiently wait for the paper to come out.

Welcome to Marvellous Marmalade Monday!!
For those who spend Christmas away from home, Christmas presents should conform to a certain size. Your host gives you a large engraving; somebody else turns up with a large brass candlestick. It is all very gratifying, but you have got to get back to London somehow.
Abstaining from roasts throughout December so you can save yourself for Xmas dinner is a thing right?
Before Gloria Glover moved to the allotments she lived in a garden with no shelter. Ken made a shelter for her and even though she’s got her own shed, she often goes in the cat cabin. GG doesn’t care what it looks like, she’s happy to be warm and dry. I don’t blame her, do you?
Good morning and happy Monday!
My Christmas run in is now in turmoil as one of my elderly ninjas has hurt his leg over the weekend. So much for collecting ale off suppliers and paying the skip company. I’m now working on a disused swimming baths roof all week in a monsoon.
Might break my “I don’t talk about league positions til jan…” rule to laugh at Arsenal tbh.
I think I’m still stoned!
I’ll be at Starbucks in an hour if anyone wants to stick one on me chin.
If you wake up happy of a morning I hate you so much!
This woman has been trying the door since 8am despite telling her 3 times we dont open till 9.
Good morning to everyone except kel who vomited in my bed!!
Imagine being on your way to holiday and the roof falls off ya plane!
Today I attended a briefing on plans for the last week of term. I struggled to keep my eyes open until someone mentioned Christmas dinner on Wednesday. I don’t know when ‘Wednesday’ is but I’m queuing today just in case.
Wish people would shut up about double likes. I’m not going to like your shit tweet once let alone twice!

Why are there only traffic jams when you’re desperate for a wee?
Repose en paix M. Gérard Houllier. Toutes mes condoléances à sa famille.
Migraine from hell, so decided to go back to bed for a nap and then I dreamt about him cheating on me. So now not only does my head still hurt, but im angry as fuck too.
Google’s down? Aren’t we all mate. Aren’t we all.
Arsenal fans currently going out licking strangers in a desperate attempt to get London back into Tier 3 before their next home game…
hHHoGOA AoaAO ooOOHhOOH AoOhhG!!!!!
Shat on Google and broke it for everyone there. Sorry about that.
Antidepressants have gave me such livid dreams man. being attacked by giant cow sized rabbits woke up with the sweats. What does it mean. What does it mean.
Did you know you can double… fuck off ive seen this 1000 times just fuck off!
No chip pan?
Why have involuntary but necessary economic damage from Covid, when you can have voluntary and pointless economic damage from Brexit?
The kids go to their dads later. I’m going to drink tea out of my unicorn teapot and wrap presents. None are for any of you!!
I hope you get a paper cut!
I’ve now lost two Apple Pencils in the space of 1 month, and I haven’t taken the damn things out of the house. I think Apple program them to self destruct. Might as well join the mad conspiracy internet I suppose – reason has clearly lost the battle anyway.
Me mums bought super noodles instead of koka. At what age can people go into a home?
Don’t wanna see any “new year new me” posts from any dickheads this year. They said it last time but they’re all still the same dickheads!
