I always thought Norah Jones was a bit overhyped, but this is seriously one of the most relaxing, relatable, beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[up]Hate to burst your bubble, but that song is one of the most popular songs in the American songbook, written by the legendary songwriting team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin (who wrote so many of the American pop hits that came around in the 1960s), originally a hit for The Shirelles and then covered by many, many people after, by everyone from Ben E King to Cher to Elton John to freakin' Amy Winehouse. It is not, strictly speaking, a "Norah Jones song", but, rather, a cover of a popular song by Norah Jones.

Also, Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons did it better.

Just sayin'.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Wow, this song has been covered more than I Fought the Law has. I'll have to listen to Amy Winehouse and Elton John's version.

Admittedly, I haven't heard Elton John's version—all I know for sure is that he covered it live at a Prince's Trust benefit concert. Here's a video of it, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG5iKz8rg3Q

Amy Winehouse's version I have heard, though, and it's very, very good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n551sikrgaE

Also, sorry if I came off as a bit snippy above ^_^;

For reference, here's the original version of the song:
