Norah Jones - Don't Know Why

独孤飘零

在2002年，一个并不算很年轻的女歌手的处女作专辑，给整个美国歌坛，特别是爵士乐坛以强大的冲击，这就是Norah Jones和她的《Come Away With Me》。一时间随着销量的稳步增长，好评和质疑如潮水般涌来，如今在乐评家们的争议声中，《Come Away With Me》已经悄然在Billoard专辑榜上驻扎了66周，并且丝毫没有褪色的迹象。
　　凭借着自己过人的实力，Norah Jones不仅在专辑中演唱了自己和朋友创作的歌曲，并且还成功的翻唱了乡村音乐前辈Hank Williams的《Cold Cold Heart》，J.D. Loud[wiki]ERM[/wiki]ilk的《Turn Me On》，和传奇的爵士乐大师Hoagy Carmichael的经典名曲《The Nearness Of You》，在目前最出色的唱片制作人之一的Arif Mardin的监制之下，Norah的强大实力和自信以及令人倾佩的天赋在专辑中展露无遗。

　　这张充满了Norah Jones个人风格的专辑，和目前的流行音乐大为不同，创作型的音乐和钢琴演奏，以及对传统爵士乐的发展和突破，使这张唱片正逐渐成为新世纪爵士乐的经典唱片(也许我们并不能称之为爵士专辑)，与传统的慢节奏爵士相比，这张专辑中加入了更多的流行音乐元素，时而清晰明快的流行节拍，时而乡村怀旧的曲调，时而又象是民谣般的演唱，然而这些新元素的融合无不是基于传统的爵士乐基础。Norah对于传统爵士乐，无疑将是一次震荡。

Norah Jones - 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 along

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
