Norah Jones: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2020
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
August 17, 2020 | Bob Boilen - Norah Jones keeps the music tastefully spare on her seven records despite a number of collaborators, yet I've always wished to hear just her voice and her piano in a room. The unfortunate circumstances of our times have given us something beautiful. For this Tiny Desk (home) concert, Norah Jones sits in her music room; it's just Norah, her upright piano, her poetry, and that golden voice. I first fell in love with that voice when I heard her debut album in 2002 and remember playing it on All Songs Considered that next week.
Here Norah plays songs from her seventh record, Pick Me Up Off the Floor, songs that hold the world's weight and the power to uplift. You can hear that on "I'm Alive," which she co-wrote with Jeff Tweedy. It's a song that at once feels the pain of politics and a pain that is personal. "You feel your soul / Get hollowed-out / While the world implodes / You just live without." Yet the refrain is what lingers, "Oh, I'm alive / Yes, I'm alive / But I'm alive / Oh, I'm alive." Thanks, Norah, for this beautiful affirmation.

Norah Jones is a breathtaking woman. Beautiful soul, mesmerizing voice and unlimited talent. Thank you for giving us this Tiny Concert!
Thank you Norah!
Great, Mara!
Totally
Thanks for watching!!
Türü and she gives these concerts on her channel every thursday. Wonderful Norah
Good music makes the world a little less sucky. Cheers to everyone listening right now.

Agreed !!!!! Cheers!😊
i fell asleep ... so boring^^
She's been doing these wholesome tiny concerts at home ever since quarantine started. I rediscovered Norah Jones' music because of this quarantine. They keep me alive during these trying times. So glad she got her own tiny desk concert!
So you must love the song I´m alive, right? :)
Id love to be her neighbor getting to listen to her sing all day
"The unfortunate circumstances of our times have given us something beautiful." Couldn't have said it any better. Thank you, NPR for showcasing this beautiful human being.
Thanks for watching!
I don't think I've ever been more sad and soothed at the same time
I feel like that pretty much summarizes her music to me
I chuckled at this. So true. Tettering on that line between yin and yang. Bittersweet
🤣🤣
I scrolled back up to like this since it resonated so much haha
I will never forsake this woman and her talent. My beautiful mother would listen to her when I was a child all the time... makes me think about her. When your music has the power to reach your soul, it’s something you can never forget
Thank you Norah. It was just like if you were singing just for me. Kind of a private concert.
Sure it was the same for everyone here.
Honestly, I’ve been mesmerised by her voice since “Come Away with Me”. Uniquely soothing and enjoyable to listen to.
How I Weep...I can only imagine how difficult that was to perform...the steady beat of the left hand, the right doing the melody, singing substantial lyrics, video uncut...now I'm a fan.
Tbh as an intermediate piano player it's not that hard. But she is amazing regardless.
@@montyeyesclosed would love to see you preforming it (; make sure you record and post the first, uncut take please. Or next time, keep your dumb comment to yourself
@@user-im8dc1wc9c as a piano player in a band i could record it for u if you really wanted me to. BUT, although the piano is relatively easy, I don’t think i could reach those melodies with my voice, that’s my girlfriend’s job 😅
Norah Jones's at home performances have been some of the very best anyone has done this year. They are so intimate, and her music translates very well to this setting.
Norah Jones is just sunshine. When she sings everything is peaceful. I managed to score her first album from a clearance last Feb and I have been playing it non-stop during quarantine ☀️
Human fiber in a Tiny Desk. It doesn’t get more real, authentic than this. We long for your voice always, Norah
When I listen to Norah sing, I am totally transported to other dimensions. There is magic in his music. We recognize a true artist by the sensitivity of her soul.
Blimey, she can move mountains with these songs and her playing and singing.. Fly on beautiful lady ..

Thanks a lot @pentameron
Thx
Thank you!!!
Just Norah and her piano. Listen to her like this is such a gift for the soul.
Her presence is bliss.
Ahh, love Norah! Saw her in Milan and Berlin - both very different performances. Gorgeous. Can we please get a proper Tiny Desk with Norah when things right themselves?!
I totally forgot how amazing this woman voice is...thanks for reminding me.
Gorgeous, intimate music by Norah, like we're sitting on a metal chair across from her, nodding along, trying not to be too obvious about smiling.
Norah Jones is one of the greatest voices of our time, without a doubt
I think this is my fave tiny desk home concert so far
Thanks Norah for soothing my 7 week old baby to sleep 😊
2:56 "and I wonder what kind of person am I, who weeps for a lost book and tells it goodbye". That hit a spot. A good spot.
I think the lyric is "who weeps for the lost, but can't tell it goodbye"
omg norah was everything when i was growing up. such a huge part of the music that inspired me growing up. i clicked right away!!
Hearing and seeing Norah play from home is a real and sweet gift: the intimacy of it, and feeling her connect to all of us listeners is a beautiful experience. Wonderful new songs! Norah’s voice is honey-like, an elixir in these difficult times.Thank you NPR Tiny Desk folks for another breath of good air!
i just watched this while i was feeling sad and norah jones voice is just soothing. i feel like im a baby and my mother is singing to me and i feel better because of it
Perfect!
You just made me cry 💘
"To live in this moment and find my true place..." - don't miss this final lyric of the concert, folks! I feel like this series of songs is rather epic in such an understated way. Thanks for teaching us that while weeping for our losses, we can celebrate still being alive, live in this moment and find our true place. What a gift.
My 5th grade teacher used to play Norah Jones' music for us while we worked, it was so relaxing
This woman's aura about her is so awesome!
She’s been posting performances like this one, and I’ve been LOVING it. A soothing balm during these harsh times.
Mesmerized by the tone she gets on the bass octaves of her piano.
If there is ever an artist whos music is just as beautiful in a home setting as it is on stage, Norah is the one. This was great!
You "TopFan" dearest Norah in New Zealand !!
Listening on an early 5.30am Wed May 29th, 2024 !!
● Your voice is eternally beautiful !!
🌹💓🙏
I love how she looks like someone I’ve know for a very long time. She feels that comfortable to me.
I've viewed her as a blessing ever since that debut album, and she just gets better with time. I wondered why I couldn't find Norah Jones Tiny Desk when I had searched a while ago. This was right on time.
I'm really enjoying watching artists faces while they play with no known audience in front of them. It feels like they are resting more and just being in the art and less of the performing.
Norah is a force of nature in any live show. Her stripped down live performance in an intimate home setting is just as infectious and provides the best musical shelter from the pandemic storm. Thank you NPR 👌
Buy her new album to enjoy the best of soft soulful to strident, hard edged blues tracks.. satisfaction guaranteed.
Norah Jones has BEEN giving us tiny desk home concerts every week this entire blessed quarantine.
The music is beautiful and gentle, like the performer herself.
She's looks magical and her aging is impeccable.
What ageing? Time's reversing for her.
after all these years, she's still got it
love her so much, she's an extraordinary talent
Just what I needed today.
At first I thought it was a Norah's post.., but then I realised the two musical channels I've been following in pandemic times met today...Hurrah!
It seems in this new dynamic of Tiny Desk, we get a chance to really appreciate why some artists are loved, a closer experience of their natural talent and soul. Thank you. This is beautiful :)
I clap because it's good, not because she can hear me! Get off my back!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Such a phenomenal woman! Every time I hear Norah sing I think of New York I don't know why lol
I Love Norah Jones Music - so pure!
So sweet Norah. Like ever. Thank you
One my favorite artist! Blessings up Mrs. Norah Jones!
Doesn't matter if you particularly like her style.
But one needs to recognize an artist who masters its craft.
From voice and instrument proficiency to all the sound capturing technicalities.
I can't think of many artists nowadays that have this kind of knowledge.
Great work from a great artist.
Oh she's absolutely amazing.
She's so beautiful!!!
One of the absolutely most beautiful souls in music. I adore that she's still playing and singing. One of my lifetime artists I hope to live and die with, even if we never meet. But her voice will always make my house beautiful, and my Sundays sweet.
Sooooo sweet! Nora’s voice is special! Such joy👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶
I've listened to Norah a long time, yet still blown away by her voice any time I listen.
She's soooooo talented
She has such a wonderful voice.
Thank you so much Norah for sharing your wonderful gift with us!
I’ve loved Nora since I was a teen, her voice is so beautiful and heartfelt❤️
😍 Norah’s angelic voice was such a nice listen while having breakfast this morning 🥞 💕 so good to see her 🙌🏿
Norah Jones's mini concerts have been a wonderful balm during the social distancing of the last few months. It is great that she is sharing her personal concert on the larger stage of NPR's great series, Tiny Desk (Home) Concerts. After the Big Time of NPR, I hope she continues with her mini concerts.
Norah harmonies are always on the spot! this is a delight really
She just know how to touch our heart every time! Thank you Ms Norah Jones!
Norah Jones, timeless songwiter and player! And yeah the voice is smoking!
If you go to a concert purely for the music not the stage performance, Norah is such an inspiration to see live (2016) 🎹 🎤 💕
The simplicity of this recording is so delightful. Love, love.
I wish would be one of Nora's neighbors, how these people are lucky! 😀
I was one of her neighbors in Cobble Hill Brooklyn in 2013
@@rociocarvajal1467 you were very lucky person!!
Norah Jones was always on my mind. Her songs were hits deeps in my heart. Thanks Tiny Desk!!!
Simply amazing, I can hear the emotion in her voice.
Always a joy to hear the preciousness that is Norah's voice and music.
I was always a Norah Jones fan from the start. Thank you Norah for sharing your gift of incredible talent.
It’s odd, I’ve never been her biggest fan, but every couple of years she reappears to me and...I don’t know...she’s just always been comfortably around; a calming, consistent presence.
Mi Movil exactly, not about celebrity status and praise like so many people yearn for. I feel she’s very sincere.
@Mi Movil hmmm i'd say what you described absolutely comes across in her music
I remember how Norah shot to fame not long after the collective trauma of 9-11. it seemed she had such a soothing presence that won everyone over, like me and all my coworkers, with her softly understated and unpretentious great talent. Another such calming and uplifting presence was the movie "Amelie" from France which was also enormously popular. I still watch it after at least 25 viewings.
Besides Norah being an amazing and complete artist, I love her style, real, simple and beautiful, like any of us women, who are not millioners superstars...
I still wish I had her $25 million...
absolutely wonderful
She is so refreshingly heartfelt. I love her. 💘
I love the sensibility of this woman!
sooo wonderful. i remember hearing her first album in the back seat i was like 11 driving through
Canada and it was snow and trees and super feels just looking out the window. changed who i am as a human. just so beautiful.
Norah Jones! Thank you so, so much! You are awesome!
"Norah Jones?" - "I've never heard of her simply clicked because any artist that has the balls to do a Tiny Desk Concert Solo is bold. Boldness is Art." Worth it.
She's been a mostly solo singer/songwriter for over 18 years and her debut album went certified Diamond, won a Grammy for Album of the year and is the 37th best selling album of all time. I'm not saying you should have heard of her but Tiny Desk is a pretty small audience for her, lol.
@@CyberdyneSystemsSkynet cackling
Because mainstream is not where she makes it happen. But now you know... she makes it happen!
Norah Jones is a gem. She is amazing and I'm so happy she's on Tiny Desk.
I just adore her silky voice and I am in awe of her beautiful talent that hooks you and reels you in...I go willingly, without fuss or fight and surrender my heart...❤
Thank you so much Norah for your apartment concerts. When I think of the lock downs of the pandemic, you are a huge bright light! Love you forever.
To live was definitely one of my top favorites💗
Absolutely beautiful.
That's real talent right there. Just her on the piano and just her voice. It's perfection. So so good ❤️
I miss Norah! It's been years!! Beautiful performance!
What a beautiful and kind person. And her voice is soothing and uplifting at the same time.
She's such a great song writer. I never listened much to Norah Jones before, but I was missing out. She has such a good feel for the flavor of chords and how to make interesting melody. Another great Tiny Desk.
Rainy day songs, lots of love ❤️
Beautiful in a million ways ❤️thank you! And I love how most of the comments are so grateful and peaceful☺️
Always a great musician, always a pleasure to ear her music, always love you from Tijuana, B.C., Mex.
Absolutely stunning - thank you Norah 💛
Her voice always give me chills
Oh my Lord, this was Always a Beautiful voice on my stereo, in my helmet as I ride.....so many Sunrises and Sunsets together..... And then to see what a Wonderful person who can make this Music. Thank you Norah, and Thank You NPR. - Bobb
Gracias por tanto, Norah. Hermosa. Saludos desde Colombia.
Heavenly voice .... thanks Norah!
I'm sure you wont see this but thanks for what you do.
