this song was a snooze, but I'll let you be the judge. Personally speaking, while I think that she looks lovely in this video, I don't have too much to say about Norah Jones. Actually, that's not true. I applauded the fact that she leant her sultry cooing to Mike Patton's disquietingly libidinous
Peeping Tom project a couple of years back (he even got her to cuss on record … on a track called "Sucker"). Also, a few years ago, I was attempting to cross Astor Place carrying some unwieldy bags of groceries while simultaneously pushing my daughter's stroller and came to an impasse in the form of a high sidewalk. Who came to my swift rescue but a raven-haired lady who helped me lift the stroller over the curb without hesitation. She leaned up and there she was: Norah Jones. I remember she smelled nice.
So am I going to rush out and buy this album? Probably not. I do like the video, however, which seemingly takes a page from Monty Python's "Crimson Permanent Assurance" sketch from the opening segment of "Meaning of Life." I appreciate the notion of sailing a building through Manhattan's stately avenues.

I'll take Tim Rossiter and leave Norah........
Did he do the video?
Norah Jones has the kind of talent that will give her (if she wants) a thirty or forty year career in the music industry. Long after most of the current artists have been forgotten, Norah Jones will still be making music.
