  • here's our version hope you like it

    /watch?v=HnrV9s_iB5c

    the ungratefuls - acoustic band from croatia

  • I live in Dallas and yes we are very proud of Norah here. The sweetest girl you could ever meet and an even sweeter voice.

  • She does so many songs well... but this one stands out for me. Her "Live in Spain" version where she is playing piano is awesome too!

  • UFB......the most haunting, beautiful voice ever. Norah, I love you.

  • excellent performance with just the "right" amount of country twang

  • i like her voice...is awesome

  • thats our dallas girl , we love her

  • jjjjjjjjjjjjjjeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeee

  • just marvelous.. the slight differences from the recording make soooo much difference, and the live performance adds the atmosphere.

  • I hope you come to Denmark one day...

  • nice version, but check out Tom Wait´s...

    sorry to say, but Tom´s version is unbeatable

  • @xxxdokan i find that Tom's original versions tend to be better

  • For all My girlfriends that followed me and took "The Long Way Home!"  Happy Birthdays to Rene Faulkner {NANA} & Brenda Magalski {BESTEST BARTENDER from OP In Leesburg FLA! HOO! HOO! GO GIRLS!!

  • @mgdicehouse

    She doesn't have Tom Waits voice either!...They are both unique in their own ways, while we can acknowledge how talented Norah is...Tom waits is already a legend!

  • can you love a woman you've met??

  • N.J. it's great!! oKz!

  • NO. Doesn't come even close to what Waits does with the tune and lyrics. This seems more like a pop country ballad. Her voice is extremely charming in its own right, though.

  • this song is composed by Tom Waits?

  • As far as i'm aware he actually wrote it for her i know he put it on his awesome album Orphans, she is a beauty and a fantastic voice...but Tom.....what can i say....is that man even human?

  • heaven lost her to this world.

  • I'm a Tom Waits fan and think this cover is incredible. Is it just me? ...doesn't she have one of the the most beautiful voices and faces you have ever seen?!

  • @sullymahopac It's not just you :)

  • dghj

  • What a combination! The sultry voice of Norah Jones with a muted country bass beat for Tom Waits "Long Way Home". Well, it is a long way from home, but I love it equally as much - maybe even more.

  • i met her at a music venue where i was working her show.I couldn't stop shaking.Just being that close to her made me feel like jello.she is gorgeous.

  • Song that inspire me and givin me a strength when it is sang by her

  • One of the only people I think is truly qualified to cover Tom Waits

  • 10,000 years is a long way home.

  • Dude, I'm a hard rock guitarist, have been for over 20 years and I don't know how someone could 'dislike' this. I love songs like this just as much as I love Breadfan or Bark at the Moon. Tom Waits is beyond description in his singing/song-writing talent. Norah Jones has a beautiful voice. Excellent cover.

  • Great version of this song. Almost as good as Tom Waits' original!

  • Of all Norah's songs, this is my favorite.

  • I can`t believe how beautiful she is

  • I swear, everytime I go to watch this video, I'm hypnotized by both her voice and how amazingly beautiful she is. It's honestly ridiculous.

  • What a great voice,and what a technician in the way she uses it with her ability to do

    so. And so beautiful, she has got the lot.

  • 8 people hit the wrong button.

  • She's not trying to be something she's not. She's realized the unique beauty of being oneself and has offered that as a gift to us all.

  • Nobody has a voice as smooth as hers.

  • Nice, nice, nice... Bravo :-))) No. 1!!!

  • @enadetore70 mostly about rabbit stew and DIY furniture. it's complex. :o

  • What a voice

  • Hard not to fell in love with her! How can anyone not like this?

  • Boy has she got style.

  • I got to say that I love this cover so much more than the original. This is truly beautiful (both voice and person).

  • Damm, she plays the gutiar too ! she's great. love her music

  • I am usually a stickler and an bit of an admitted "grouch" when it comes to ANYONE doing Tom Waits covers, especially of my favorite songs, but this.... BEAUTIFUL..

  • She does an amazing cover of this beautiful Tom Waits song :) Beautiful voice, beautiful lady!

  • Bellissima e bravissima!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know if I have ever seen a woman so beautiful.

  • Country ballad, jazz, rockabilly, rhythm and blues angel. Every song she sings is perfect as is every picture of her too.

  • DESTINY FUCKS BACK. :)

  • A gorgeous woman like Scarlett Johansson sings the songs of Mr. Waits.

    A gorgeos talented woman like the one and only Miss Jones sings the songs of Mr. Waits.

    Guess this world and its mankind still have a chance!!!

  • I've never heard a Tom Waits cover that was ever done better than his rendition, but i really like this one

  • unbelievably beautyful and cool!

  • nice voice

    check new talent on youtube Katelyn Weaver youtube.com/watch?v=vRwzzbW7MG­A

  • i like her style

  • I love it

  • so nice !

  • How good does she get? Leaves the originals of all the songs she sings in the dust. Amazing talent. Tom Waites, Ray Charles and Johnny Cash eat your hearts out.

  • @Xiamen41 That's a load of crap.

  • @Xiamen41...I'm actually going to see Norah on Monday in Vegas....but No....Tom Waits has DOMINION on this, his original song, over Ms. Jones.

  • @Xiamen41 Get a grip on reality.

    May you be thrown off the back of a train for this disgraceful comment. She does a good job with this one, and a few others.

    Jones is a tall glass of water and a slice of melon in a desert of modern song.

    Cash, Waits, and Charles, on the other hand, are hurricanes of refreshment. Avalanches of sustenance, in the sea of All Times Song.

  • Beautiful version of this song

    

  • Superb quality video...and a great soul singer. Nice.

  • great talent

  • Wat's a car? Cinderella, it's like jettison down the go cart with a honey bun forgotten by yesteryear's sun by not forgetting them tears. .............. Talks little, quite a good time at the concert so I decided.  what's winglets? well told by the flight instructor plainly put wingtip vorticies wake turbulance. Echo relay.. Oh, I imagine that staggered formations on the leading edge is in on the savings! Yulp yolll bet. See yolp, honey luv, -kenji.

  • muy buen tema q tema temaso y ni ablar de norah jones... esta para partirla al medio!!!! es hermosa

  • i wish i could play the guitar the way how she does....:(......awosome song....i just love it---

  • lindaaaaaa amooooo

  • tom waitss far more moving...

  • <3<3<3

  • is my platonik's love!!

  • snorah jones

  • I love this song- beautiful

  • Tom Waits sure has influence on people. Talk about flattering, but I love his versions of his songs the best. Norah Jones is absolutely gorgeous though and she has a lovely voice.

  • 2:00 he should have have stuck with bending to the maj 7 of the key instead of the root which suspended the 5th chord. Sounded like a mistake.

  • @TruthSurge you should write him a letter and explain his mistake. make sure you talk about music theory to demonstrate the breadth of your expertise. then he'll know who the boss is.

  • very good! my favorite too...

  • I got the biggest crush on her

  • classy lead work on that tele

  • what a dreamly voice!

  • sweet tom waits cover

  • she rocks i love her

  • east indian/american goddess

    got all her c.d's

    this is my fav song

    luv norah!

  • yeah, i'm not a "Norah Jones Fan", but i won't hesitate to declare my affection for her performance of this tune...Conjures a soft, sardonic smile to my face...

  • Great album!! This is what I call an album is.. And know what you can download the entire album for free at DownloadMusic/./im, just remove the slashes guys..

  • This song is so beautiful!

  • TOM WAITS FOR LIFE!

  • You must be a huge Waits fan "nothing wrong with that at all, you're entitled to your opinion", but when it comes to Jones' rendition, I must disagree.

    Some covers are good, some horrible, and some which make you want to vomit, but this is rather great.

  • jajaja!

  • imádom !!!

  • én is :))

  • House. :)

  • Hey that's a neat trick at 0.57.

  • @ lisagibbon

  • what a lovely cover :) 5/5

  • Amazing singer!!!

    Listen my new original Already Choose You.

  • There have been comments on Norah's natural beauty. She's hot enough without strumming a guitar and singing but when you mix those in the pot......(My God)

    Other than that......completely original and not washed out. I think we are going to get married soon. j/k

  • Norah loves to skinny dip. Her favorite place is the Virgin River in Utah.

  • You're killing me. That's so hot.

  • great, now i have no love ???

    yes, really shit

  • oooh my god norah thank you 4ever for this song ......

  • actually, you should thank Tom Waits for this song, although this version is also nice.

  • You know I love you baby

    More than the whole wide world

    I'm your woman

    You know you are my pearl

    Let's go out past the party lights

    We can finally be alone

    Come with me, together we can take the long way home

  • Great, now I have no love Norah Jones.

  • how i started to love tom waits nd i thank her for it.

  • norah is awesome but tom waits is the shit

    cheers!

  • she uses her voice like a priceless instrument. a great talent.

  • Norah, eres la mejor cantante del mundo y estoy enamorado de ti.

    te voy a llevar serenata con mariachi en mi caballo tordillo.

  • I met a guy in a bar that told me he's in the furniture moving business. The day after she won a boatload of grammys, she hired him to move her from a little shit apartment in Brooklyn to an super cool apartment in Manhattan . He said she seemed kinda freaked out at her sudden success but was a sweet girl and a big tipper.

  • Nora Jones,

    Go to Bert Griffin88, I think you'd like my song "(Rihanna's Song) So The Psycho Took Her Life".

    Your voice is simply the best.

  • great Norah ! tanks from the italian fans

  • Norah's favorite book is the biography, "The Life And Times Of Horny Joe Baloney", written by William Shakespeare.

  • hot chick with a hot voice!

  • by far her best song, i love tom waits!

  • I like this song, I like her style

    No puedo dejar de escuchar la cancion

  • flawless

  • Love Nora!Thanks for sharing:-)

  • I'm not talking about the song, but I do think her phrasing is at the very top of the music world. Plus her beauty doesn't exactly hurt the eye.

  • merci norah

  • She has to be the most talented performer of the 21st century! And one of the most beautiful women ever, of course.

  • i agree

  • talented and beautiful,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm think im in love

  • la empecé a escuchar por este tema (y porque un amigo me rompió la cabeza con ella jaja)lo cierto es que me envolvió en su talento y belleza.

    Realmente vale la pena su música, no se habían equivocado

  • I don't know what happened to it, I can't seem to find it on here anymore, but she did a Johnny Cash song (Home of The Blues) at his tribute concert/show, DAMN!!!!! As good of an argument for cloning as I have ever seen. We could all have Norah's........

  • just one word

    WONDERFULL

  • Sultry... yowza. I miss these songs.

  • Exactly. Have you ever seen such a mix of talent in one pretty package? The first time I ever heard of NJ was when I stumbled upon this song on YouTube. I thought, "Who the hell is THIS?" I can't even stomach Tom Waits's original after hearing this (no offense to Tom and his great songwriting skills).

  • norah jones really needs ME as her man

  • When I forwarded this link to friends I added, "This woman needs to have my children" (and this is coming from a guy with a vasectomy, so that should show how fine I think she is).

  • Marry me?

    Norah Jones if you have a youtube account and watch videos of yourself, please answer me.

  • sweet

  • How can one find the words to describe this? Emmylou meets James Burton anew? Norah - no rotten sound can come forth from you because you are full of light and beauty, and only sweetness itself has found it's lodging with you. I'd say you are art personified.

  • She can Sing ANYTHING!! Just Great

  • greatvortex!!! you make me smile cause you are one of the most stupid people in the world!!! you don't know nothing about music so you can say what you want because the words that you say are idiot like you!!! ciao ciao!!!

  • I like music very much but the kind of music where the singer has voice. And stupid are you.

    I didn`t insult you motherfucker!

  • Can you post 'Come Away with Me' from this Austin City Limits performance. It was great and I'd love to see it again. Thanks!

  • There's no sweeter voice!

  • oh norah I"m so in love with you !!

  • She is so Amazing!!!!

    Dont give enough words to describe that!

    Love your sounds Norah Jones!

    Just very Beautiful

  • It's rare that a Tom Waits cover doesn't go awry. Norah pulls it off.

  • Nora, Marry me :)

  • My God she is the hottest woman alive....

  • Hey-she can even play the guitar now!!

    The absolute greatset country-jazz great today!!

  • it's truly amazing (and rare) to see an artist that sounds even better live than on the album. i really hope austin city limits releases this performance on DVD!

  • It will be released!

  • Due out August 5th-this Tuesday!

  • Norah playing guitar!!

    Man, she is so sexy!

  • Yep ,she's HOT!! Has that sultry voice too.
