跟她远走高飞

    出生于美国纽约，一位今年才二十二岁的女生Norah Jones诺拉琼斯，拥有超龄的才华与甜美温柔的歌声。二十岁不到便赢得著名爵士杂志Down Beat学生爵士奖的最佳演唱及最佳编曲奖。她的出现让久未有惊喜的爵士乐坛，灌注了一丝青春活力。此次第一张个人专辑Come Away With Me，Norah展现她精湛的琴艺与迷人的嗓音，专辑同名曲〈Come Away With Me〉（远走高飞）为四重奏编制的抒情慢板歌曲，Norah温熟的嗓音表现颇有大将之风，让人不禁想起另一位爵士女伶Diana Krall；〈Seven Years〉则以灵魂乐作为基调，搭配蓝调音乐里惯用的空心吉他滑弦技巧，将爵士、灵魂、流行、民谣等元素完美结合，是首相当精采的作品。专辑另一焦点曲目〈Nightingale〉，为Norah个人的创作作品，以略带迷幻的编曲方式，成功营造出夜幕低垂的氛围里，淡淡的忧愁感受。 Come Away With Me是张横跨爵士、流行与民谣的精采佳作，Norah Jones让广大乐迷领会到原来爵士不只有传统的即兴摇摆，当它与其它乐种相融合时，也可以有这么精采的作品呈现。

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 ecstasy
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

点评：本歌获得了2003年度葛莱美最佳唱片和最佳年度单曲两项大奖，Norah Jones也因这首歌获得了最佳流行女歌手的大奖，有什么语言可以比这些实实在在的奖项更能说明这首歌的价值么？融合了爵士、民谣、流行、乡村、酒吧乐风，如诗般的歌词，加上圆润的嗓音，造就了这首冠军金曲。

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 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-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
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
