Why isn't Nicole Atkins not a SUPERSTAR ?????????!!!!!!! A magical, powerful, sensual real voice unlike all the auto-tune robots out there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard and saw Ms. Nicole Atkins perform this song on David Letterman. Never knew of her prior. That Letterman performance was life changing to me Plus if you were familiar with Letterman I could watch on repeat not just the performance but how utterly taken Mr. Letterman was by it all. When I got married THIS was the song I walked down my aisle playing with a 9 piece orchestra. If I could have I would have hired Ms. Atkins to sing her song live as I walked down the aisle. As an Orthodox Jewess it's practically unheard of to walk down a wedding aisle to "English" music. When I requested the song by my wedding band they told me they've never heard of it and would see of they could do it. The arrangement is not a simple one. They did it and while I and my mom may have been the only ones who knew the song ; 14 years later I have tears in my eye and the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up. NICOLE is a superstar in my book. Thank you!
I saw her on Letterman years ago and thought by now she would be a world hit in any and every country!!! I'm so glad that at least she's here and still going!! I'm 73 and have always been a big music fan and she's the best!' Keep going Nicole!!❤️❤️
I was settling in on a cross-country redeye when I half-asleep heard her belting this out on one of those inflight music playlists. And then I spent the remainder of the flight replaying the playlist just to hear this song again. Felt like death the next day but it was worth it!
i went a decade without hearing this song, but it always remained in my brain til I finally rediscovered it after remembering only a snippet. So happy. i miss you, dena.
I saw her perform at a small venue in Santa Fe last night and she and her band were absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Her music definitely mirrors that of Roy Orbison (whom she is a huge fan of) and she sings with the same kind of power and intensity and energy as a young Patti Smith and Joan Baez. Not to mention she's unbelievably beautiful!! She deserves tons of success and more. I wish her and her band all the best! Matt- NM
Anybody who thinks Christina Aguilera has the best pipes of her generation is just nuts, as this song proves. She might have the greatest melismatic ability of her generation, but Nicole blows her out of the water for sheer vocal power/beauty. I mean this is just a flat out gorgeous and vocally powerful song.
...and, as I sit here, sipping a frosted mug of Schlitz, I've realized that this song would make my desert island list....although hearing this on a desert island, would make me burst into tears, tearing off what's left of my clothes, longing to be stateside once more. What I mean is this: Nicole Atkins is kick-ass. That's the way it is.
right on Michael baby! I got the lovely chance to see her in 2007-9 ??? don't remember at THE DELANCEY. She was doing a free show. She used to work there. Frankie made sure I got in. I got to talking to her- she was very nice to do a free show at her ole stomping grounds. Now, today, 9/5/19 - I revisited Neptune City, and blasted myself in the car and at home...........and THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!
Beautiful voice. Heard her open for the Avett Brothers at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Pouring rain the whole time.
I'll give your question a try. She doesn't use at least 2 of the following:A senselessly popular D.J., a rapper, a synthesizer, team of songwriters, loops, autotune, this week's hot producer. Let's just keep adoring Nicole and have that grin on our face cause we're in on some secret that most people aren't.
This girl just blows me away!!! I'm old school - pre MTV. I think music videos ruined the musicality of much of the music since then.. However, I love her videos! They are refreshing to me. They are creative. I also love her songs, her voice and her presentation!
what's not to like about her and her music? she embodies it all. refreshing presence. not like all the present techno designed music now where everybody sounds the same. luv ya. never stop singing. you keep my musical hunger fed.
I've seen Nicole perform several times over the years, the last being at 'The Sebright Arms' in London & if you get the chance she's nice to chat to as well, she really is the Best.
Don't tell me My love's not the one that I want That he's not the one that I need I'd rather find out for myself You're the one Who shakes at the touch of my hand but can't decide where he should stand If I was smart I'd never call you, call you ever again Oh, in my ears my blood is just roaring when he's the only one I've ever wanted I suppose that's just the way it is Just think this could be The last time I hold you, hold you ever again Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till morning Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted Oh, and in my ears my blood is just roaring Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted I suppose that's just the way it is.
The celloid imagery in one's mind of those we love, past moments lived and experienced presently, anchors in our consciousness against the uncertainty of the future.
God ! When i first saw this woman on Letterman, wow fuck me dead,she's not only beautiful,but fuck she can sing,Letterman knew it too,pity the rest of the world didn't catch on.There's a UK singer called Ren Harvieu who should've been huge too,and had a song similar to this that could easily have been a James Bond theme song
i will never have a woman sing and write a song about me like this woman did for some man who she loved or loves...i really don't know how to feel about that
I love, Love, LOVE her style, both physically and musically. She's sooo full of natural talent, it just amazes me that she isn't soo much more widely known.

Exactly. How does she not have like 12 Grammys?????

You have a superb ear, Nicole is awesome.
I saw that too! First time I ever saw her. WOW!
Same! And same sentiments. First saw her on Letterman.😊🙏💕
Why in the world isn't she more famous? Gifted beautiful thing.
i went a decade without hearing this song, but it always remained in my brain til I finally rediscovered it after remembering only a snippet. So happy. i miss you, dena.
Such an underrated song.
in the ocean of today's recycled songs and tunes, this one stands out as a masterpiece ! I keep listening to it for years!
Same here, i keep coming back to it after all these years.
I picked this CD up at an XPonential Music Festival back when it was new... still love it :)
Best alto singer I've ever heard. I love her!
I saw her perform at a small venue in Santa Fe last night and she and her band were absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!

This never gets old, I love singing her songs!

is it only me that finds this song perfectly magic in its melancholy?
Saw her opening for Nick Cave over the weekend. Just simply brilliant.
Still does it for me!
Damn, she has such a strong voice. Why isn't this beauty known world wide???
Vote for Nicole ruler of the airwaves.................... and beyond.
I love the work of Nicole. Her ability to sing with so many melodic twists is what draws me to her music.
She is incredible live!! I hope I can start seeing her regularly. :)
Beautiful voice. Heard her open for the Avett Brothers at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Pouring rain the whole time.
The power in that voice! Great, atmospheric video. What a talented singer. Emotional.

Incredible Voice Nicole. Love the deep & honest emotion. Would be awesome to see you live.
entirely possible to fall in love with a voice
Love those two together!
One of New Jersey's best attractions! Go Nicole!
This song is amazing! I think she deserves much more success!

i still love this song, heard it for the first time on the jules holland show and follow her from then on.
girl you are super.
😀❤😀👽
Great, great song. Ms. Atkins REALLY knows how to write SONGS... and how to SING them. Best legs and best eyes in the business, too.
Wow ! this will be my new favourite to belt out in the car. Gorgeous.
Great big smokey voice. Love it.
One of the best songs of all time, simply magic 💫💫💫
I've seen Nicole perform several times over the years, the last being at 'The Sebright Arms' in London & if you get the chance she's nice to chat to as well, she really is the Best.
I love the editing with the shake on the high notes, Its like a punch in the gut. Powerful.
Great Scott! Incredible pipes, and it sure don't hurt that she's a hottie. the Radman
I heard you belting tracks from Neptune City ten years ago opening for the Avett Brothers at the Barrymore. Good stuff!
Must have been the same tour - I saw her at Lizard Lounge in Lancaster, PA. She stole it.
Stunning voice, melodic, rich, and deep.
Don't tell me
My love's not the one that I want
That he's not the one that I need
I'd rather
find out for myself
You're the one
Who shakes at the touch of my hand
but can't decide where he should stand
If I was smart
I'd never call you, call you
ever again
Oh, in my ears
my blood is just roaring
when he's the only one I've ever wanted
I suppose that's just the way it is
Just think this could be
The last time I hold you, hold you
ever again
Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till
morning
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
Oh, and in my ears
my blood is just roaring
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
I suppose that's just the way it is.
The celloid imagery in one's mind of those we love, past moments lived and experienced presently, anchors in our consciousness against the uncertainty of the future.
I want cry but it's just for the feeling that she put when her sing
As an oldie I think she s from my era. Great pipes!
Can;t wait for the album to drop on 1/25!
God ! When i first saw this woman on Letterman, wow fuck me dead,she's not only beautiful,but fuck she can sing,Letterman knew it too,pity the rest of the world didn't catch on.There's a UK singer called Ren Harvieu who should've been huge too,and had a song similar to this that could easily have been a James Bond theme song
i will never have a woman sing and write a song about me like this woman did for some man who she loved or loves...i really don't know how to feel about that
you can feel the pain and frustration love this song on an apathetic day it revives passion
I love, Love, LOVE her style, both physically and musically. She's sooo full of natural talent, it just amazes me that she isn't soo much more widely known.
Nicole rocks
One of my favourite tracks ever - just wonderful - you folks who've seen her live are lucky indeed - adorablegs is right, gifted and beautiful.....
Thank you for this beautiful piece of music Nicole.
i love your voice and style, the ache is surreal...thank you for your music, nicole
sony needs to push her more or switch labels
Right On i agree
Jon Murdock shes already changed labels twice since this - on her own label now
She should be huge the music is top notch.
absolutely
I wholeheartedly agree with you
I saw her at The Hollywood Palladium in September, before the Black Keys came out Her voice is so intense. So impressive!
I was introduced to her live not 8 hours ago! She's currently an opening act for EELS.
I love you, Nicole! I hope your next album creates the publicity that you need for your career to soar as high and pretty as your voice.
can't wait for her new album!!
this song and video are amazing!
one of the most unique, spellbinding, mesmerizing, awe inspiring voices that I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes his voice has a touch similar to the voice of Edith Piaf, this woman is beautiful and his voice is even more.
Amazing voice - you can hear the emotion in her delivery. Anyone who is crazy for someone they can't have will relate.
STUNNING
so in love with this song....
she is awesome !!!!!
This woman is f*ckin' RAD, I am like so obsessed with her now...

OmG her voice really sucks you in to what she is feeling.... Amazing
it's so good to hear such a nice voice like that ^^
This song is so Sharon Van Etten!!Love it!
If I were associated with the Nets, then I would make Atkins' song "Brooklyn's on Fire", the official Nets theme!
now this girl is pure awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's an awesome song
ieri sera lo ho ascoltata per radio gelosa di castelfranco veneto-treviso. bellissima. la nicole ha un nonno siciliano
I tried adding this song on Apple Music but can’t find it! 😢
Amazing

Love her voice and her style.

Fabulous voice and a great song.
DAT VOICE
laughable, budget-looking video, but wow @ her voice and that arrangement. It's so grand-sounding and old school. I love it.
oh my god, her voice!
A favourite indeed
After listening to the backstory (terrific video on Patreon!), I had to come here and watch the masterpiece...
3:10 EVER. My God!
Just THE best female vocalist: Depth, tone, range........ hugely and erotically entertaining in a non-pervy enjoyment sense. :-)
haunting song of my life so far

and I love her.. te amo Nicole.

I am in love with this girl....she's awesome
This is amazing!
Oh I'm in love.
Her voice reminds me a little of a young Stevie Nicks.
