  • Norah I heart <3 YOU! :) Let me know if you ever need a shaman to go on the road with ya Shaman Ziggy

  • fatal, besides: learn the goddamn lyrics!

  • I can see why Norah uses her mother's last name. She gets so much criticism as is, but if she used her father, Ravi Shankar's last name she'd always be unfairly compared just like all famous people's children. She may not be a famous sitar player who worked with The Beatles like her father, and she may not be the average pop star, but she's amazing in her own way-

    A great musician and lovely singer.

  • goddamn that iheartradio thing coming in at the end

  • whos on bass and who's the other chick on guitar...and thats norah jones playin lead, right?

  • who's the other chick on guitar...and thats norah jones playin lead, right?

  • As a response wilco could make a cover of "don't know why", it would be fucking awesome.

  • This song is about anything you want...

    it's right there in the song

    "you can combine anything you want"

  • John Stirratt totally plays that same kind of bass.

  • Comment removed

  • Norah is a goddess for this fantastic cover. <3

  • encantadora!

  • This song is about 9/11 (yeah I know it was written before 9/11)

  • You might be the BIGGEST Wilco fan in the world but how can you not like this version. Jeez.

  • fantastic, i wish Norah would start making her own songs like this. i liked her debut album, but can't say the same about her last 3 albums. she's definitely talented, intelligent and musical though, i think it's just a matter of time/age before she starts putting out real gems

  • M a g i c !

  • Norah Jones absolutely brilliant. She's gorgeous, talented, and kind. I hope I can find a woman like her someday.

  • id marry her today

  • FUCK THIS LOGO. THANKS FOR RUINING THE SONG AT THE END AND BEGINNING. ughhh

  • Norah Jones covering Wilco? Jesus, yes!

  • and I heart that she likes wilco, what a talent and beauty all in one

  • Jaysus she's sexy. I want to have babies with Norah!

  • Jesus in this song is actually used as an expletive. As if speaking to crying woman/man/kid "Jesus... don't cry". Or as if to stub your toe; "Jesus, my toe".

    Jeff Tweedy made the comment before singing the song at a live performance "Jesus the expletive, not the person".

  • I was under the impression she was addressing Jesus

    Jesus, don't cry

    You can rely on me honey

    therefore it's really not in vain if i'm interpreting correctly

    also, it's "in vain". it would only be "in vein" if it was floating through your blood or something.

    but perhaps I am wrong

  • Thank you, i heart radio, for ruining the end of the song with your stupid noisy logo.

    You couldn't hold off 'til she was done singing?

    Yeesh... disrespectful...

  • beautiful -- like a cross between angelina jolie and pat benatar (taking the best aspects of both, that is).

  • The irony of using Jesus is one of the best things about the song, I'd say. It's a buddy song about sticking with someone who was down on their luck. There's a nice dichotomy there with the idea that people lean on Jesus. I get the feeling that Jesus is a metaphor in the song for the people we think will never break.

  • JESUS!!! 3:37 freaked the hell out of me haha

  • I would have her babies. 

  • Neutral comment..much prefer her new style of music and the new band is WAY better than the old..

  • She's talking about Jesus, my cousin. We call him "Chuy".

  • I love Norah Jones and Wilco... Both versions are great.

  • I love Norah Jones and I love her even more now that I know she has good taste in music.

  • Norah, Im in love with you!! THANKS for the inspiration tonight, well needed! Call me anytime ill probably answer? thats if i

  • I freaking worship Wilco... but this is better. This is one of the most amazing reinterpretations of a song that ever has been. What a voice.

  • didn't like this song. it's putting Jesus' name in vain. don't like that. but that's MY opinion.

  • @jhgb89 I'm not sure you know what you're talking about... actually, I AM sure that you don't know what you're talking about. You didn't listen to the words.

    This song has nothing to do with Jesus.

  • @tombuttner she mentions Jesus's name, doesn't she?

  • @jhgb89 Yeah, and how exactly does that qualify for being "in vein"?

    And even if it was(which it wasn't), who cares, its a song. Get over it.

    Oh, btw: Jesus was Jewish.

  • @jhgb89

    Go you born again christian or whatever you are. it's a song, jesus....

  • I want to know her guitarist.

  • i like the wilco version better. way better,no offense to this woman or her fans...just check out wilco.

  • Wow, Great video, brilliant quality, Norah's on fire. Anyone know if this is a cover, or a song penned by Norah? Watching that in full screen, i felt like i was lucky enough to be there.

  • @Requiemslove This is a cover of Wilco's Jesus, Etc

  • Largest selling female singer of the decade..of any genre..like the new direction of her music..was time for a change..nice shiny new band too...

  • jdsmith9, I totally agree with you - she is the greatest female musician of all time! I was privileged to see her at the Orpheum in LA 2 days ago - was totally blown away!!! She is so AMAZING!!! I can't wait to see her live again!!!

  • she might be the greatest female musician of all time

  • @jdsmith9 YES!

  • @jdsmith9 Yeahhhhh....but she doesnt write her own music....

  • @austinlopez84 Actually, that's not entirely true. She does write some of her own music. True, she doesn't write all of it, but it's wrong to say she doesn't write her own music period.

  • @radkid06 Your right, her first big hit, Come Away With Me, had she written herself as an example.

  • @storegustaf Exactly. 

  • @radkid06 I guess im still a little bitter when her album beat out springsteen's that one year....

  • @austinlopez84 Hahaha. I see.

  • @jdsmith9

    ever heard about Janis Joplin?

  • The beauty in song writing and poetry is that there is no ONE meaning but what you interpret out of the words and melody. what you hear in your heart even when it doesn't necessarily make sense. I suggest you close your eyes and listen to it over and over gain and see what it speaks to you... will be far more interesting than any of us trying to analyse it

  • @natcroix

    A great tune written by Jeff Tweedy.

  • @natcroix Thats why I love Jeff Tweedy's songwriting so much...this and Via Chicago, Impossible Germany and Solitaire are just masterpieces

  • wilco =)

  • I love Norah, but I dont understand this song at all, doesn't make any since to me. can somebody explain what the lyrics mean please???

  • @JAQ4 I think it's a simple play on words.

    Rather than literally talking about Jesus the person, the songwriter is using "Jesus" as the expression people use when they are overwhelmed and don't know how to deal with a situation. At least that's what I get from it.

  • oh ok thanks

  • @JAQ4 So I guess you could say it's a "play on words". My favorite line is "Our love is all of God's money".

  • Norah covers Wilco! Very cool. Would have preferred to hear her play it on the piano or Wurly, but that's ok.  I just love her voice and style and love the lyrics to Jesus, etc..

  • PLEASE COME TO FLORIDA ON THIS TOUR!

  • holy, Jesus......Norah! can't wait to see you in NYC and Philly!.....nice, nice, nice!

  • right on norah!
