Music | Norah Jones - Don't Know Why

First time I heard this song back in 2002, I liked it at once. It seemed to come at a perfect time, like a breath of fresh air, right when the airwaves were saturated with annoying pop crap.

Norah Jones was a relative unknown at the time, and this song established her--and her debut album, Come Away With Me--as one of the critically-acclaimed new artists of that year.



It was hard to describe this song at the time; while mellow, it wasn't a ballad, and while Norah's main genre was Jazz, the song sure as heck didn't have that jazzy kind of beat. I think the best description would be a "laid-back melody fit for a lazy summer day," LOL.

But no matter how it's described, this song will always be a favorite of mine, and will never get old.
