This is definitely one of the greatest songs I've ever heard in my life, and Norah is one of the very few female vocalists who can soothe my soul like this. Her voice is soft in the begenning, however, at the climax, her voice is very powerful and moving. The flawlessness of her voice sends chills down my spine when she sings 'My heart is drenched in wine, but you'll be on my mind forever.' I can't help but smile when I hear this song. Her band is awesome, and I think she is very talented. With some of her other songs, they are so deep that I had to listen to them more than once to really get the full effect, however, this one clicked as soon as it hit my ears. I feel like she knows exactly how I feel, and says it in this song. It's amazing. Way to go Norah. (Of course, my words can't explain this song, so buy the album...)

One of the most soothing, easy-listening song of this time. So soft you wanna hear it over and over that it tickles the ear and ones emotion.

I agree with the reviews on how great this song is. I heard it on the radio one night as I was driving home and I did not know here name but I heard the title of the song. So today I put the title of the song on the search engine and found out here name. THe song is very mellow and graceful. I felt so relaxed when I heard the song that night when I was driving home, I wonder how her other sonds sound?

Norah Jones a name that should be heard world wide and also remembered until the end of time. Norah Jones is a great piano slash singer also a great romodel i look up to her in every way possibale. In her music you can understand it and the meaning to it unlike other songs that you cant even understand the first word because they're singing it so fast ( no afense ) Norah keep up the ecillebt work because with out you i wouldnt be the fan of your that i am today love yah.....!!!!!

Only heard for the first time today all the way through...very moving song. Don't know why but her voice reminds me of Billie Holliday a little-or perhaps it's the song. Has a nostalgic feel to it. Love it.

I rarely give out high #'s becaue most songs out there dont even desereve a 1. This is a, excuse the cliche, a breathe of fresh air. Its not like all the other pop songs, with whiny little teenage girls and guys singing abuot love. THis is about love, and choices, but it doesnt sound like it. It has a jazzy tune, and her voice has alot of emotion to it. It definelty wont make the top ten because its not a sterotypical pop song, and people just wnat the whiny babies on the radio. People need to recognize her voice, because its different. And like very few people out there, i like change, and thank god Norah came along, or i might just have shot myself because pops going down hill, Norah girl we need you! Move over Britney Spears because heres a Canadian who can sing better than you. SHe's got heart and soul, and a talent for singing, and shes new, so lets hear her out.

Finally, a great velvet voice! Very catchy tune; it's very jazzy/bluesy, and not only appeals to an older audience, but a younger one as well. Awesome song!

Something different than the norm on this one. Although im glad she won all those Grammy's some of the more successful acts this year got shut out! Thats my only beef. Oh yeah and the mediocre boring video too.

If the rating scale went up to 100 then i would give it that. When i first heard i was amazed it gets stuck in my head but it is so soothing.If i were to become famous i would redo this song

You don't always hear such terrific songs which makes you feel it's a wonderful thing to be a human being! Shame on you who only rated this song 6 or 7! Rate it 10! Or just go away, it's not your music!

I think the song is really good, but it combined with the video just makes me want to go to sleep. Meaning, its much better on the radio.

This is one of those songs that I loved the first time I heard it. Her voice...the instrumentals....it's like taking a time machine back to a 1940's Jazz Club...it's truly hypnotic.

This is a truly incredible song. The way she sings is not only enjoyable, its uplifting and enlighitening! This is raw, untouched talent that should better make a good dent on the charts.

Just heard this for the first time today on VH-1. This song is neat, trim, and smooth. Hey, it's not like anything else out there and it deserves a listen. I'd be shocked if this becomes a top 10 hit, but I'm rooting for it.
